my family started going to a different church because the one we were going to had something wrong with the pastor (won't go into details, the dude was just messed up), and we got a letter in the mail saying "Please don't come back" (from the new church). why's that? there's nothing wrong with our family. is it because there are 16 of us kids? or because half of my sibs are adopted? or because we keep the kids in the service (instead of them going back to kids church) during praise and worship, and they like to dance in the isles and at the front of the church? do some people not like dancing? they didn't give us a reason, they just said "don't come back". what's wrong with them? what denomination of church wouldn't care about how big our family is or how we worship?

Jehovah's Witnesses translate John 1:1, "...the Word was a god," rather than, "... the Word was God." But the earliest Church writers, who studied with John or his disciples, wrote that Jesus was God.

Polycarp, disciple of John, wrote in his Epistle at 12.2 that Jesus is God. Iranaeus, disciple of Polycarp, wrote in Adversus Haereses (Against Heresies), that Jesus Christ was “,,, perfect God and perfect man.” Pliny the Younger, in correspondence with the emperor Trajan, says that the Christians praise Jesus as God, and Justin Martyr says that Jesus is the Word incarnate.

this would seem to be another of those religious conundrums that are, well, 'difficult' for the religious to give a compelling answer to.

And by genuine I mean genuinely Medieval, not genuinely foreskin. So what is the problem? According to Christian mythology, Jesus was circumcised like all good Jews were, and somebody saved his foreskin. The Holy Prepuce. Why all the anger, the threats, and the nonsense? It is because your own religion embarrases you? Or it is something else?

After reading some of the comments on Y! Answers (esp. R&S); it is kind of depressing that the vote from each of these nutballs counts the same as the vote of a PhD biochemist.

Should those who consider homosexuality unnatural be banned from all things unatural like clothes, medicine, technology?


After all enhancing your abilities with cars, phones, computers etc is not natural.


All medine or caring for disabled thats not nautral either as in the wild survival of the fittest and all that.

Gods are not part of nautre.

Banking is not.

etc etc

both my sisters are Christians and one is married to a vicar yet neither can be bothered with the family ie their parents. To a point where they wont even let them see the grandhildren.
My younger sister says she prays for them and that is enough and my elder sister just wont speak to them at all. The problem is no one not even my parents knows why?
Dosent it say to honour thy mother and father?

I am trying to get them to talk about whatever it is they are blaming my parents for but they have now decided not to talk to me either. I am Muslim and I am just trying to understand how they can say they are Christian but have no love for family.

If you were to die right now where would you spend eternity, heaven, hell or where ever. Today choose whom you may serve, as for me and my house We will serve the Lord.

Many Jehovah's Witnesses get better results from other transfusions, than people do from blood transfusions.

It's interesting to me to see responses from homosexual Christians- which inherently seems to be a manifest contradiction. It seems as though individuals now pick and choose thier religious beliefs like a fashion show or a buffet.

Some are saying that, as there is a debate between ID, creationism and evolutionary theory that debate should be taught in science class.

If we should teach a debate because the debate exists should we not teach the debate about whether the Holocaust happened or not?
