You have a leader of a church, whose young teenage daughters dress and act, less then savory. Before, during, and after, church. How does this reflect on the church leader? What message does this send? What is your thoughts and opinions on this issue.

Please refer to this part of the Bible (KJV)

(James 2: 20-23) But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

I'm a troubled at home, there are many things going on. I have 2 children and to some degree a jerk of a partner. When I can't take it anymore I speak with my girlfreinds regarding him and one of them always tells me to give it to God that he will take care of it...HOW?? How do you give it to God? Am I supposed to mail this off to God or send it via email, I feel so lost and I just sometimes really just need a hug. Anyone that can offer advice I would really appreciate it.

Why would God not offer concrete proof that he exists? Surely, if He wanted to lead people onto the right path he wouldn't keep his existence open to debate? Wouldn't he just come down from Heaven, prove He is real, and then this would make all of man believe?

And before anyone mentions Jesus, I mean why doesn't he come down TODAY? Also, the Saints and everything else don't count...People want to see the real deal!

I know this question has been posed before, but I have a more detailed question in regards to it. First of all, I think I understand that Jesus was sent by God to die for our sins. It was God's choice to send Jesus, and it was in his future to die for our sins.

First question: what does it mean to say he died for our sins? Does it mean that God was so upset with us that instead of destroying us for our sins, that he sent his only son instead?

Second question: If God intented for Jesus to die for our sins, why did he need Pilate and the non-believers to crucify him for God? Why didn't God just kill Jesus himself. I sometimes hear that Pilate (and those who crucified Jesus) were motivated by the sin of the Devil. But that doesn't make any sense... I mean, how can we say the Devil played any role in Jesus' death if it was God's choice to have Jesus die in the first place?

Third Question: If God is all-powerful, why couldn't He forgive us for our sins without killing His only Son?

DNA replication is prone to all kinds of errors- for example, cancer. Cancer occurs because of errors in DNA replication. Without DNA, there would be no cancer. Why would an all-powerful and flawless creator chose such a lousy system for life? Doesn't it make more sense to say that the system of DNA is what could be expected if the creation of life was unplanned? Or does god just like cancer for some reason?

Hello everyone,

I have recently been introduced to Yahoo Answers. Is the religion and spirituality section a friendly, non-threatening place where anyone can share their views without the threat of persecution?

Why would people be sent to hell? Surely this contradicts what most mainstream religions teach about God being forgiving?

If I've been an atheist all my life then surely it wouldn't matter!? Wouldn't he just forgive you and send you to heaven? If not, why?

If you look a the numerous cases of possessions you will notice that the majority of the cases are affecting christians....
Why is that?
Could it be proof that religion is mental disorder?
After all more people reported being possessed after the movie "the exorcist "got out....

seems like an oxymoron. A loving god would not send his children to hell for simply questioning his beliefs because of what they hear from MAN. simply hearing about god doesn't mean he has to exist. If god loves everyone of his children why would he even create a hell for eternity? why would he bother making a hell as punishment or threaten you that if you don't love him your toast forever.
