I'm a christian and when I ask a question that I want Christian views on I don't want to have to scroll through to find Christian answers. I believe if atheist want to share their views then they should have their own category also. And no I don't care about non-christian views and don't care to be educated on them. No matter how close minded atheist might think I am.

Non-Bible observances;
Wearing what is comfortable to church, regardless of how it looks; or
Whether being a Sunday Christian is good enough?

Can Christians say beyond a doubt that they know that God views some sins as less important than others, and thus Christians have nothing to worry about how holidays began, how one dresses, or how much time one actively performs Christian tasks?

right now, you "believe" something. you don't know 100% if it's true or not, but you defend your beliefs anyway. what would you give to " know " ? or do you really want to know? socrates said that if he knows anything, it's that he " knows " nothing. what would you give to know? or is ignorance truly bliss?

But Judas did not believe in what was to happen on the Cross. This is esential for anyone to be saved.
Satan doesn't care for you and he hated Judas too.
Judas lost his eternity and traded eternal life for the price of a slave.
Jesus of course would have have forgiven Judas, when Judas realized what he had done, he attempted to in a way show that he knew 'what was done on the cross' by tossing the money down, as he knew it was nothing, but he'd sold out his Lord and King for a few bucks, the price of a slave.
But this question is not about Judas' ,
But essentially about you!
Participation, does not necessarily mean Salvation,
Do you believe in the work that Jesus did on the cross?

2Ti 3:16 Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness. (ASV)

Did he mean both testaments or just the New one?

If your answer is "both testaments", then why do you disregard many OT teachings?

...exactly who's "side" was "he/she/it" on when Mohammed Atta flew into the Twin towers? Does god PICK sides?

God certainly doesn't intervene to stop a disaster!

Whether you are a Christian, Muslim, Atheist, whatever...how do you deal with being judged for your beliefs?

Everyone's had it happen to them. Some more than others. Everyone, at some point, has been told they are stupid for what they believe, that they are "wrong", things of that nature...from these self-righteous bigots who feel it is necessary to pry into every detail of people's lives.

Sometimes, it's not as easy as turning the cheek and ignoring those people. Sometimes you can feel that you will never be accepted by society because of the number of times you (or your beliefs) have been judged. The thought that someone is going to look down on you for your beliefs...that thought is always in the back of your mind.

How do you deal with these unfair judgments? It seems like not enough people today agree with the "Live and Let live" notion.

In Divine texts God refers to himself in the most majestic terms.

Just like in some ancient kingdoms the courts would refer to the King in the plural sense to show honor and majesty.

THIS is exactly why the words in Aramaic and Arabic (maybe also Hebrew) have words which refer to God in the Absolute single tense – they are impossible to be used in the plural sense but when they are TRANSLATED, to show their majestic meaning in the original language, they are made into WE and US .

This is an example of the EXTREME danger when Revealed books are translated and re-translated without keeping the original Aramaic or Arabic.

How can a man speak 100% divine words while writing letters to other people ?

Was he a Prophet after Jesus or are his words equal to the words of Jesus ?

Although i believe there is probably a God I do not believe that just one religon is right... Like can you explain how black people or native americans came into existance if we are all the sons/daughters of adam and eve? How are people different colors and how do people speak different languages if we all came from adam and eve? Or what about dinosaurs or those prehistoric monkey humans scientists have found?

The bible just doesnt make sense??? I'm so confused :(

Narrated By Abu Huraira :

Allah’s Apostle kissed Al-Hassan bin Ali while Al-Aqra bin H’Abis at-Tamim was sitting beside him. Al-Aqra said, “ I have ten children and I have never kissed anyone of them, “ Allah’s Apostle cast a look at him and said, “ Whoever is not merciful to others will not be treated mercifully.”
Sahih Al-Buhari Volume 8: No. 26.

Narrated By Anas bin Malik :

Allah’s Apostle said, “ Whoever loves that he be granted more wealth and that his lease of life be prolonged then he should keep good relations with his kith and kin.”(i.e. Relatives & Friends)
Sahih Al-Buhari Volume 8: No. 16.

I could understand if there were just a few things in the bible that were later proven wrong by science. But there are hundreds of just plain fantastic and/or wrong events reported in the bible. Man made out of mud? Woman made from a rib? Everything created in 6 days? World-wide flood? Every species crammed into one boat? Sun revolves around the earth? Evolution, biology, and astronomy disprove all of these stories. There are hundreds if not thousands more examples where the bible is simply wrong.

The evidence keeps piling up, the bible is pure fiction. How much more evidence do you require before you realize this?

Here's a few more: Snake talks, seas part, man walks on water, man rises from the dead, burning bush talks, woman turns into pillar of salt.... come on!

and do they fight back with you? What do you do in that situation? I have noticed more and more people are fighting with each other either verbally or phisically. I do not get along with my mother and wish to wipe her out of my life forever. I will forgive her in time but not now. My 2 nephews which are twins and are 15 years old are fighting with each other all the time calling each other names most of the time, my 12 year old daughter and her brother who is almost 14 fight all the time calling each other names. My sister and my mother hate each other? Is this happening in your family too? I have had enough. I need to know how you handle it. The only thing I can do to get away from it is th change my number and move address. Life is getting more complicated all the time, and more difficult to live in. I find I cannot live in this life much longer, any advise for me, as the advise I will give myself is to change phone numbers and to move.

We sometimes disagree on some issues related to the differences in our faith. I worry that it will be difficult to deal with when we are already married. I also worry about my future family. How then could we go to two different churches every Sunday? What would become of our children? Im sorry if i sound too serious. I just need some pieces of advise. By the way, i totally love this guy and my family likes him too. It's just that we have too little in common when it comes to our respective faiths.
