http://www.reexamine.org/quotes/1914.htm (please check out this site, it has NO COMMENTARY OR BIAS AND IS STRICTLY WATCHTOWER PUBLICATIONS (not "apostate" I'm not a JW), quickly check it out then comment. Also, it is MAN'S own calculations that is used..Nowhere in the bible does it say straight out that this happend in 1914 in plain black and white. And wasn't the Original date "backed up with scriptural evidence" also? Just wondering

I've been playing with the sin of sex, I've been hating it, I've been convicted, yet like a dog I eat go back and eat my own vomit. My gf is also a believer but I'm afraid the devil has caused so much distruction in our spiritual lives as well as in our relationship, I'm 21, she is 20 and we are no longer going to church, we don't live together but I do want to marry her, I love her and she loves me, but there is doubt in my mind whether my relationship with her is gonna end up in diivorce due to the curse that we have broughen up ourselves through pre-marital sex. I don't know what to do, whether I should try and work something out where we can both be going to church again and at the same time STOP HAVING SEX, or should I end the relationship to insure no more sin in our lives.Thanks in advance.

For all the strong atheists, why do you label yourselves this way? If I claimed to be a fundamentalist Christian, many people would interpret this as a bad thing.

...do you think that he or she would have a good chance of winning the election? Also, would you vote for him or her---providing that he or she was in sync with most if not all of your political views?

Of course, not happy that anyone of any religion dies in war, but happy that Wiccans who die fighting for religious freedom, and their families, can have it.

If the Catholic Church or any bible teaching church decides that they do not want to grant, participate in, or oversee marriges for gay people but the state would recognize a union of sorts whereby a gay couple could have the rights of a hetoralsexual marriage but not call it "marriage" what would be the argument agaist the church then? In other words, the church is an organization of bible belivers that has been in exsistance for thousands of years, why should they be forced to allow something to occur in church that they have not believed in or supported since the church began (Acts 2)? Why can't it just be that the individual states who decide to recognize a gay union/a legal union with benificiary rights do that but leave the church out of it? I just don't think that the chuch should be forced to swallow the opinons and/or laws of man when the whole goal of the church is to obey and serve God?

A while ago now, I swore an oath on my soul and broke it. I've worried and worried about what I did and asked for forgiveness. Then I wondered if it was a sin at all and maybe it was just a bet I broke so now I should go to hell.
But, overall, will I see heaven when I die?

What did you think of it? Did it help you with your spirituality at all? Would you do it again?

A friend and I just went to our first this weekend, and we feel bad about all those years we thought it was a silly hippie thing. (We always say, "We're real Pagan Witches, not New Age hippies!") The thing is, it suits us down to the ground--we love rhythm (we take the same belly dancing class and were the rhythm section of a band together) and ecstatic worship that's heavy on experience and light on words. We figured the hippies had a point. It was supposed to "heal the earth." I don't know about the earth, but it helped heal me.

I'd love to read about others' experiences.

God should show himself to us humans in the present time, enough of the hide and go seek stuff. I think this in itself is stupid; thats my opinion anway. What are your thoughts

The lord our God says there is no marriages in heaven. 1 Corinthians 7. We r not to desire the flesh of THIS WORLD. But there is a way for a virgin to marry without lust. the father says SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD(for a wife) and all his righteousness. Everyone is in a spirit not of Gods that causes you to be attracted to one another, called lust. This evil spirit u walk in, so do I so far, lets u be attractive to the opposite sex. Whats wrong with that u say, The devil shows u the wisdom what u call is beautiful, or handsome and put it on many. God is a holy God, and would not create sexual wisdom and put it on many people. It says U must be married in order for God to bless it, that is just a cover up God gave and excepted Lust. Romans 3:11-18 says we go our own way, and that brings missery and distruction. Genesis 6: 1-3 talks about everyone picking there own wifes, so God has not provided anyone with a wife.

Many Christians believe that Jesus loves them and this is proven because he died for their sins. Not only did he die for their sins, but that he died the most gruesome death that *no other person* has ever experienced. Really? No other person has died a worst death or even an equally gruesome death? How can we know and weren't there other people crucified alongside Jesus? Doesn't that suggest that there were other people that died if not a worst death then at least an equally horrible death?

If Jesus' death wasn't as gruesome as one can possibly die, then what does that tell us about the Christian god?

I want an honest critique of things that Christians sometimes (or often) get wrong today. I'm not bashing Christianity. I am a Christian. But Christians are far from immune to 'getting things wrong'. I think the Christian God is true and everything, but I know the Christian RELIGION, and all religions, are formed by humans (thats why we have so many different denominations and varying doctrine). Big historical mistakes of the Church were the Crusades and the witch hunts. What big/small mistakes/failures are present in parts of the Church today?
I ask this question to see whether we Christians can be honest in our view of (some) churches and christians today. What areas do you think need to be worked on or changed?

I just asked an honest question about the bible and god and i received death wishes from "followers" of god. All I asked is if god sinned when he had unprotected sex without being married with another mans wife?

If so, in what ways? Can they continue to be angry (eg. if it is not ruling them, destroying them, if it is not resentment, and if it is justified anger - eg. angry that some Christians are not doing everything they can to fight world poverty). Jesus was angry (and continued to be angry) at the religious leaders. A bible verse says "don't let the sun go down on your anger" - is this refering to a different type of anger than Jesus' anger? Jesus was also angry at the rich. Are we allowed to be similarily angry, when there is a good reason? (and when we are doing everything we personally can to live a good life in those areas, eg. giving all that we can to the poor). Jesus never pat the religious leaders on the back, hugged them, and said "its okay" or "I don't mind, anymore" - he certainly did mind!

Were there really 2 people created by Yahweh "in the beginning", and were those people Adam & Eve?

Or is it just an allegory?
