he can have a good heart and be living a christ-life by emulating his good deeds. people need to stop judging folk,just because you are in the same religion doesnt mean this person won't break all ten commandments and more.
do you really think a person who calls themselves athiest,but lives a good life will burn in hell,verses a christian,muslim or jew ,who lives a evil lifestyle ? Stop lying

Hmmm, quite a number of Christians told me to ignore Old Testament..........so................why not ignore Genesis and accept things like Evolution? That works, doesn't it?

Genesis is OT, right?

I felt in love really hard with this mean, sexy and free spirited guy 30 yrs ago. He is the love that defined my life. After 3 yrs into dating, he cheated on me and I was devasted. Later he married her!, had a child and finally divorced her.
Years later we got back together but there were many issues between us eventhoug I loved him still. But finally I left him thinking that I got him off my system, not without much pain.

Now in 07, many years later, he called on me, he is alone, very sick, almost broke and he needs my help with the cost of his medical treatment, and probably living expenses.. I forgave him not too long ago, it has taken me a lifetime to get over him and all the good and bad experiences together. Somehow I feel I am the only one that can help him, My best friend says I am wrong that he does not deserve my compassion. I don't fully agree. I feel obligated to show my compassion for someone I loved that much.
What should I do? What's your opinion?

Why when you quote the bible do you rarely, if ever, quote actually what Jesus said?

Is it because he really only answered two things directly Pray with all your heart and soul and Love God and your neighbor as yourself?

Now before you go off on me I am Christian (Catholic to be exact so I am sure many of you think of me as the "whore of Babylon" ) and I don't understand why you do this. I was taught you do not take the bible literally. You do not piece it out to suit your needs or views. That evangelization or witnessing God is being his acts of love in the world in caring for everyone as Jesus cared for them irregardless of who they are or what they believe, no strings attached. And that the Word of God (in Christian tradition) is Jesus himself.

If something is in the Old Testement, is it part of the bible,

example, slavery, exodus 21:20-21 is just one example that pops to mind where it says the master does not have to be punished if the slave is beaten and lives past a day

how kind this gentle moral guidebook,

now yes we understand jesus and all that,

but

TRUE OR FALSE

THE OLD TESTEMENT IS PART OF THE BIBLE

HENCE SLAVERY IS PART OF THE BIBLE

HENCE, IF YOU BELIEVE GOD WROTE THE BIBLE YOU WOULD BE BELIEVE THAT GOD SAID IN EXODUS 21:20-21 THAT A MASTER DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PUNISHED FOR BEATING A SLAVE IF THE SLAVE LIVES

I am an atheist. I do not believe in God.

You wanna believe more power too you.

BUT WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP SAYING ANNOYING THINGS LIKE,

"Slavery isn't in the Bible, well, its in the OT".

A long time ago, I was told that I should write down my prayers and put them in the bible. Once I do that, I am supposed to let go and let the lord take over. Does anyone know which chapter and verse it is supposed to go in? I know it is somewhere in Psalms.

My thinking on this subject is no. I cannot imagine Jesus my Lord taking on any part of man.Heres my scripture for believing as I do.
Abraham,Sarah and Hagar : "And Sarah,Abrahams wife bare him no children; and she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. And Sarah said unto Abraham, Behold now, the Lord has restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; IT MAY BE THAT ( I ) MAY OBTAIN CHILDREN BY HER. And Abraham hearkened to the voice of Sarah " Genesis 16:1-2.
Ruth and Boaz : Ruth laid at the feet of Boaz.When he asked who she was her reply was, "I am Ruth thy handmaid".Boaz replied "Blessed be thou of the Lord". Ruth 3
Mary was as Hagar and Ruth.She was a handmaiden to the Lord.She was Blessed of the Lord as was Ruth.She was with child just as Hagar.Yet the child belonged to God.Jesus was sent only in the likeness of sinful flesh,but not in the actual flesh Romans 8:3.Had He been actual flesh He would have been sin,and not the perfect sacrifice.

I have dealt with this problem for years. It effects me when I'm alone, at work, hobbies, with company, in public, everywhere. I fear that I will loose everything : girls, jobs, friends, family and bad things will happen if I think of these horrible thoughts. I pray and swear words, sexual, violent and evil (like the devil's name) flood through my mind, sometimes it's like I'm searing at God, Jesus, Mary and other Holy people. I WOULD NEVER WANT TO SAY OR THINK THAT! People are noticing me real depressed and even talking to myself because I'm trying to repent and beg for Forgivness. The same thing happens when I just daydream or wish for things. I fear of loosing everything if I think them. I know this is irrational, but I can't stop thinking/fearing them! I don't want anything bad to happen to someone or something OR lose out with someone or something because I keep thinking sinful thoughts. I want to be the best Christian I can be. Is this OCD? PLEASE HELP?

I have had enough of people telling me what christianity is and what islam is. I decided i need to pick the the bible and qur'an and read them for myself. As i was reading the Qur'an i was struck by the many open calls for violence against non-believers. Referring to all those who dont believe as "open enemies". I try to be open minded and tolerant, but is it just me or does this seem like hateful teaching?

Also i was uncomfortable that if a woman should commit lewdness she should be kept in the house until death. If a man commits lewdness and is sorry he should be forgiven.

Finally i do not understand why a son's inheritance is twice that of a woman.

All these things were in "The Women" SuraH - reading the Qur'an is kind of making me less tolerant of islam rather than more (which is what i hoped). So to any muslims or non-muslims who might be able to help me see the rational for these i wold appreciate it.

This seems to be a common complaint. I'm Christian and we are never required to do so. The ONLY door to door we get are JW's about twice a year. Is the geographical makeup that different??

This week saw the 200th anniversary of the passage of the law abolishing slavery in the British Empire, thanks to the efforts of William Wilberforce and others who refused to follow the parts of the Bible that condone slavery. Were these people forcing Christians to behave differently? Should they have been stopped from doing so? After all, what right had they to tell people to stop believing what they had always believed?

I know that's something that they ask you; whether you know God or not. I'm not familiar with the religion. Do they believe they "know God"?

And, like the moron who posted this video on You Tube, believe somehow that "satan (tm)" planted fossils and other evidence (like DNA) to throw people off of the trail?
No, honestly, do you REALLY believe this crap? 26 seconds into the video the guy tries to say that humans are descended from monkeys. (psst, here's a hint for you morons, we're not. Monkeys, apes, orangutans and humans are all primates. We share a common ancestor.) So right off the bat the guy only shows his outright ignorance about the basics of biology and evolution.
But that's what keeps creationism going isn't it? Ignorance and lies.
Sorry guys, the world is moving away from your idiocy and looking to Science for the real answers.

Here is the video, I rank it right up there with "jesus camp";

This girl I know says she loves God and is devoted to him. But yet she is still very imoral and doesn't have a boyfriend but has a 'screw buddy' and she sleeps with him and a few others constantly. All the while saying she is a christian. I don't thnk it is right. Because the bible says that having sex outside of marriage is wrong.

Let say, one day we are technologically advanced enough to ressurect the dead. So if then, would you consider killing yourself just to check is there an afterlife or not, only to be ressurected afterwards?

How many people here believe they are in possesion of Absolute Truth?

How do you know? How can you recognise Absolute Truth when you see it? With so many people in the world believing they are in sole posession of the truth, how did you know which Truth to choose?
