(Isa 7:14) So, the Lord Himself shall give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel.
Hebrew translation of Immanuel means "God with us."

And why do Christians now take Jesus to be an intermediate?

Actually god is for good evil is bad. Evil always try to destroy power of god/good. Evil always rejects god at which point or view gods views and evils view come to an acceptance/agreement i.e contradicts. Both evil and god/good exists inside and outside in terms of materialistic and non-materialistic.

this is just some dumb question i thought of
not trying to "hurt" anyones feelings or put anyone down
just wanted to know if they'd get offended, if they'd say nothing, say thank you, or preach the person that they are atheist?

Hello all, I am putting out some feelers , trying to see the most issues Christians have problems with understanding in the Bible.

I am not a homosexual – but there’s nothing wrong with it. I don’t necessarily oppose abortion – there might be good reasons to do it at a given time. I don’t hate Christianity – but some Christians irritate me with their holier-than-thou attitude.

My question is based on the following – Religious people, especially Christians, are opposed to contraceptives (that’s Catholics); Christians are in the forefront in the war against abortion; Christians are homophobic.

Given that there are so many wars in the world that affect innocent children who lose their parents; there are many teenage pregnancies – with children ending up abandoned; there are dysfunctional homes that lead to children becoming “street children”. In short, there are many children in the world who need loving homes and that not all Christians are willing to either take care of or adopt, will you as a Christian be opposed to

Homosexual couple adopting abandoned children? If yes, why? If no, how does that sit with your religion?

... that specifically states that you should not engage in coprophillia?

If you can't, does that make it okay?

I've seen Wiccans on various forums object to being prayed for, but I don't understand why. Other religions may be the same way, and I don't mind if someone from another once chimes in. I've tried to think of how I'd feel is someone offered to cast a spell for me or something, and I still just don't get it.

... Assuming that your religion is right and you go to heaven and hell when you die, etc. and you get to the afterlife and your final test is to slap either Satan or Jesus in the face.

Think about it - maybe they're testing to see if you really believe that Jesus would forgive you anything...

Would slapping Satan just land you in more trouble if you hadn't made the grade anyway? Would he beat the crap out of you?

Which one would you go for?

Feel free to plagarise a large section of the bible in response - I know it's all you can manage, but it will be funny to see what you come up with and try to bend it to this inane situation...

True Christians, can you tell me of your opinion about Gnostic Christians and Heretical Christians?

I have tried to look for an answer in the Word of God (The Holy Bible) but I cannot seem to find it- will you be kind unto me and tell me what I seek?

What will happen, at the time of judgement for me, a Heresiarch?, I have faith, but is my faith the correct faith?

Will you assist me?

Obviously I keep away from this person - but the person is married into my family so I can't escape them totally

I have been experiencing some really bad luck for ages now and there was a black feather standing up in the middle of my garden. Am I being cursed? A curses even real? How do you break a curse?

This is a serious question, if you have knowledge on this subject, I appreciate you sharing it.

And I said condones. Many declare their religion to be peaceful while condoning and encouraging these atrocities. To condone and encourage them is just as bad as participating. It is you who are igniting the bombs.

Hi,
I have been looking into the Wiccan faith for about a year now but really became a Wiccan about 3 months ago. Its really settled me in my life and i feel comfortable with who i am....however. I have a friend who is devoutly Christian i respect his faith and him but i have tried the Christian path and it didnt suite me i felt i was just doing it to keep in line with my family and friends. Initially i didnt tell this friend i was Wiccan but he has found out and said i will burn in Hell. This doesn't bother me because i dont believe in it but i dont want to lose his friendship and he has been avoiding me. I cant be something im not but at the same time i dont want to hurt those around me.I am in my late 20s and know this is not a phase.PLEASE HELP ME!

John 10-28-30 (Two gods)
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and my Father are one. (Jesus + god= 2 gods)

John 17:21-22-23 (Fourteen gods)
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one. (God + Jesus + 12 disciples=14 gods)
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

i my self do not use it the decision came after doing research on the man. and also it says king James version not translation.
"people who do use it this question is not for you"

the definition is- A version is any change in form.

Translation is the interpretation of the meaning of a text in one language (the "source text") and the production, in another language, of an equivalent text (the "target text," or "translation") that communicates the same message.

Translation must take into account a number of constraints, including context, the rules of grammar of the two languages, their writing conventions, their idioms and the like. Consequently, as has been recognized at least since the time of the translator Martin Luther, one translates best into the language that one knows best.

Does it bother you to tell a lie, be deceptive, hurt another person, or cheat your fellow man? Is there a time you would not fabricate a story or twist it if you thought it might make another find "your" God quicker? Why are you judgemental of others and not your own behaviors in the same way? If you can oppress or deny another's human needs and rights wouldn't you do that if you had a right to or not? Do you think you are justified in keeping those who don't seem to be good Christians down so you can keep them begging to the church? Is it right to use your status in a Christian community to put your select few sheep up on top of government waiting lists and deny some people the priveledge of moving up the row because they are not living a Christian life as you see it? Does God tell you to put unqualified people in Gov. jobs and offices, or to buy the public vote. Why corrupt the public trust to sell your services? What does your book say about the poor and people in jails?

To some, Yeshua is only a story, a mythical egotisical manic, a lie, just a man. But ir really hurts deep inside when people say such horrible things of men, esp when I glorying Him, someone comes along and speaks wickedly of the Savior, dos it mean when a man or women speaks wickedly of Yeshua that they are actually rejecting Him and denying the truth?

What is th best way to endure the wickednedd and wrongdoing of the godless. I prayed to ask for strenght to handle the pain that people can cause me-it hurts to see Gods grace, Yeshu's offer of redemption and truth slandered.
