I want to have Jesus Christ as my lord and savior, but i dont feel like i am talking to anyone when i pray, and when i pray, i do not know what to expect back, a voice, a writing, a picture, what do I expect? Some people say i just dont belive in God, but i do, its just like there is a wall... Its like i can see God, and look at him, but i cant get to him, or feel his presence in me, and I don't get it. When people say i don't belive in God, it dosen't really bother me that much because its like I really know I do. But I cant get to him.

its like this, when you are trying to reach something just out of reach, but no matter how far you stretch, its just not enough. And whenever you try to stretch its like prayr, its not working for me, and I keep thinking i will do something and get the "Final Stretch" and finally get the thing i was trying to get to.

Please someone help me.

I don't know if it helps, but I am Christian

It seems we focus so much on differences in our religions/beliefs.

I'm sure there are a lot of similar ideas we have, such as treating others as yourself, helping feed the poor, give shelter to the homeless, etc.

What does that say about people, and do we purposely seperate ourselves?

Is that the true evil in the world?

If God states in Genesis that all he created is "good," then the serpent too is good. Evil does not exist. Evil is a mind concept of KNOWLEDGE only! If we acknowledge evil has power, than we have created a 2nd Power in the Universe, and that cannot be, because there is only ONE power, ONE presence everywhere...God, the good and omnipotent!

If you acknowledge there being any other power in existence, you are worshipping TWO powers in a universe where only one exists!!! Do you believe in two Gods (a power of all good; AND a power of evil), or one God?

"God saw all that he had made, and it was very good." - Genesis 1:31

"...In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." - Genesis 2:9

Instead of evil ... only "error" exists ...man is responsible for wrong ...not the "devil" or an evil outside force!
The Devil doesn't make people do anything. INSTEAD, people are responsible for their own action, and the errors they do

I've been dating an LDS boy for about two years now. I study Buddhism, however, so our relationship is obviously short-term. He turned in his mission papers last week, but I'm worried about his past habits with me. I know that premarital-sex is a major, major no-no in the LDS religion and we've never gone that far. However, we done pretty much every thing in the book except that. I've allowed him to set the boundaries because of his religion.

I don't want him to break down during his mission because of past regressions. I know that he hasn't formally repented this acts because we still do it regularly. How can I help him fix this, because he obviously isn't?

not saying there is or isn't an omnipresent god or creator, and doesn't matter whether i believe the bible is good or bad. it is a well known historical fact "the bible" was written by men, "inspired" or not, it was still written by men, anyone can say they are "inspired" but inspiration in itself is not verification of what was written, the question is merely put for debate : )

The old testament has everything! From incest (Genesis 19:31-6), rape (Judges 19:25-6), gruesome murder, of the rape victim (Judges 19:29) and downright genocide, (Numbers 31: 18 & Joshua 6:21) Read it for yourself.

And you claim to get your morals from this book. How can this book be a guide to knowing right from wrong? I say that you already have this knowledge before you read the book.

if he did show himself then what's the point of having faith? faith is the fact that you havent seen but you beleive in know...if it was shown then there would be no faith...i think that angels dont have faith because they see so they know, only humans have faith because we havent seen but felt the love of God and thus have faith that he will always be there for me...I dont know if you get what i mean. it's like an exam[life], you studied you ur butt of because the Teacher[God] gave you a study guide [the bible] and you know that the teacher would never give you something that wouldnt be on the test you just know it [faith], but you have quizzes [life's hardships] and sometimes you pass and sometimes you fail but either way that motivates you for the final test and then you get your grade [judgement day]...hope that helped a little...but i hope u guys get what i'm saying

And when he landed on the mountain, he immediately sacrificed a goat to "the glory of the Lord".......how come we still have sheep? Were the sheep playing "hide the sausage" during their forty days and forty nights at sea?

I am not stating my personal belief one way or another. As a law student, at a Christian law school, it is something that is mentioned periodically and I think there are pretty interesting arguments on both sides.

I just wanted to see what you guys think about someone who is a Christian making his living by representing defendants in criminal matters, many who are clearly guilty. Would your answer be any different if the attorney were appointed to represent a criminal defendant if it is not his typical practice? (in many jurisdictions judges appoint attorneys from a variety of practice fields to represent indigent defendants, so in those places most attorneys have ad to play this role at some point)

Today is my husband's birthday. As he is not well, please pray for his well being.
I will read this posting as a gift to him (with some other gift) later tonight.

He is really unwell lately, and it really worries me.

Thank you..

(I don't know if it is right to do this but........I need all the prayer I can get for him)

Who was the one responsible for cleaning up all the Elephant and Giraffe and Lion and Tiger Faeces? They were there for forty days and nights (7 of each kind, not TWO of each kind, see Genesis 7:2). They would have been WADING in it after the first week or so. 7 Elephants eat a lot, not to mention all the other animals, so there must have been a huge food storage room on the Ark. AND, where did they dump all that stuff that they picked up? Overboard? Even the runny stuff? Were they environmentally conscious, or what?

In schools, children are allowed to pray. Their right to do so, in whatever creed they follow, is protected. The only thing prohibited is having school officials lead or sponsor a prayer. That way, the right of children who wish not to pray is protected as well. Religion is kept as a private matter of conscience.

What, exactly, is objectionable about this?

If the founding fathers of the U.S. intended us to be a Christian country, why didn't they put anything in the first real, legal document we formed? Nothing in the Constitution, not even in the preamble, mixes religion with the state. If they really had those intentions, you think you'd find something that explicitly mentions Christianity in there.
