but the non-believer thinks it has to do with the person's state of mind, do you call a psychiatrist or a priest?

Why ask questions that you have not done research on out of laziness and why answer questions for people that could research them themselves? Personal opinions are of course a whole other matter. Did you go to college at Wassamatta U?

We are having Bible School next week, and we are trying to replicate the Sea of Galilee, and the markets around there. I am in charge of doing a Spa(or mineral springs bath) and we would like to do salt scrubs and mud....just on the hands or feet. I have a salt recipe but cant find a way to inexpensively do the mud thing. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Who decided what these cases are, and what evidence is there to suggest that particular cases are the right ones? Why believe any of it, if you don't believe all of it? Isn't it the word of god?

How can you just follow it when it suits you?

I'm Catholic and wouldn't have a problem with it. I'd most likely enjoy the conversation. Who could say the same?

The question is,is there a moral or ethical authority better than God,Has man improved on any of Gods teachings.

the first commandment COMMANDS us that there is one and only one God......experts please show me a better god,why is that god better

Do not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain..well thats real hard..

third commandment tells us to take a day off and to be good,,,,again wheres the problem with that.

4th tells us to honour our parents...of course athiests tell us God is evil and vengeful

5th says dont kill people...has modern educated man improved this,well i guess if its an unborn baby its disposable because enlightened humanist man tells us babies in the womb arent people yet.

6th.well a solemn promise is a solemn promise

7th.dont take what do belong to you..go one better if you can brainy people

8th.dont lie...again whats the weasel.

9th.jealosys bad anyway

10th,jealosy again

Any normul persone gott problum wit dis?

They have peeled everything off the faith except for nice feel good slogans dealing with love.

You can do anything you want, just love the Trinity concept and all will be OK.

If a Catholic converted to your faith, would he or she need to be baptized again? Would your church consider his or her Catholic baptism valid?

Or would your church be like the Catholic Church and say it is not necessary because you are already a baptized Christian?

I believe that Jesus is a fictional Bible character but that is still a genuine belief isn't it?

1)Pray for people to get better despite knowing that praying has no influence on the outcome anyway and also why do you want to keep someone alive when heaven is so good?

2)Only answer certain questions on this website when I ask them?Or sometimes 'make up' your own question then answer that?

3)Keep quoting the bible and disrespecting human progression for the last 2000 years?

4)Claim that when god told George Bush to invade Iraq it wasn't god that told him when we all know if he created peace in the middle east and claimed god told him, you would accept that?

5)Constantly twist phrases from the bible to suit your own purposes-so much so, that literally every phrase now means 2 different things?

6)Have you noticed common sense and logical people do not try and avoid questions and always answer them?

7)Why is it that you cannot accept that the bible is most likely man written with no bearing on an unproven god?Even 1%

8)Do you REALLY believe in heaven and hell?!!

I've heard people say God gave man free will and doesn't want to prove his own existance, because that interferes with free will. Didn't the miracles of the Bible interfere with free will for the people around at that time? If I saw a burning bush talk to me, I would either see a psychiatrist or assume I witnessed a supernatural event. Doesn't that make my choice to believe less impressive?

Jesus tells us to love our enemies so that we can be children of God (resembling Him). Is this only a personal issue, or can it be applied to the world scene?

If loving our enemies is His will, then how should we (Christians) love Iraq, and the Muslim world? WWJD? What would Gandhi-ji do? What would Martin Luther King Jr. do?

How do you try to practice loving your enemies?

Had a discussion with a neighbor yesterday, who asked if we'd seen a man walking about and knocking on doors -- presumably JW, as he had pamphlets of some sort and was conservatively dressed. But he was by himself (it's my understanding that those in field service go out in pairs) and when she spoke with him, he said couldn't leave literature with her unless she made a $5 donation; she declined. He asked "what about your neighbors, would they be interested in learning the truth?", meaning us; she said she had no idea but she knew we were Catholic. He hasn't showed up here yet.

The thing is, I know the local hall has already made some kind of notation about us (probably "don't even bother") because after a couple of visits early on when I explained politely that we weren't interested, no JW team has come back. So I'm wondering now if this man is really JW or has quite another purpose for going door-to-door and just assumes the persona. Your thoughts? What to do, if anything?

I read the following from a "Christian" website:

If a Roman Catholic believes in the official Roman Catholic teaching on salvation, then he is not a Christian since the official RCC position is contrary to scripture.

Has anyone read anything from a Catholic website saying that non-Catholics are not Christian? If so, please give me a link to the site.

Before you quote me "There is no salvation outside the catholic Church", let me explain that the catholic Church teaches that all peoiple who are baptized in Christ are in communion, though imperfect communion with the catholic Church.

I'm agnostic, but it seems to me the most LOGIC following of jesus christ are jewish people. Jesus was a jew... therefore SURELY you'd want to follow the same religion as your saviour??

Christianity just doesn't make sense!
