Is it because that's what we've always been referred to by anyone who has ever referred to us in your churches? Or do special rules of grammar and punctuation apply, as in the refusal of some to acknowledge the correct use of the genitive case (it's "in Jesus's name", not "in Jesus' name")?

Genuinely curious. Where did you pick up this form and why do you persist with it?

(If you're among the Christians who do use the correct plural, there's no need to answer just to say "what are you talking about, not all Christians do this, *I* always use the plural form" - it makes scrolling down the answers a bit tedious. Thanks.)

If so, why do you think there are atheists?

Why wouldn't God make it more obvious?

It is generally presumed that religious people will display a more loving and accomodative disposition with others.On the contrary I have observed that many people who are religious,while they claim that they are great devotees of God,appear to be rigid and insensitive to the needs of fellow human beings.I do not require explanations whatsoever.I just wish to know whether your observations are also similar to that of mine.

Instead of a television program? Wouldn't that increase organ donations?

We all claim at some point to be logical in our thinking - my question is: do you think that logic is an emotion or is it simply "what it is". Does logic leave room for expansion on how you feel about things?

hope everyone is having a great day!

Okay, I just posted this question.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070530065055AAKa3oq&r=w

I received answers from some people which are clearly lies. the question asked you who has the authority to edit a bible. the bible clearly has been edited many times. I can understanding defending your religion with what you know as the truth. however, obviously lying about something that is factual is just ridiculous.

Good Morning Yahooers,
The reason People go astray, become hurtful murderers, thieves, slanders of people is because GOD gave everyone Free WIll, if he did not then he would of destroyed Adam and Eve in the Garden and started over again, but isn't it our *CHOICE* wether to do the right thing in life or the wrong?

Many people are doing the wrong things in life walking down the highway to destruction, and they don't want anyone to tell them there is another road. a map that will lead them to eternal happiness.

Do you think most people want eternal happiness? Why would people choose to be wallowers of pity, reveling in the fact that Misery Loves Company.
Thoughts?

No where in the bible does it state this. Not in the original texts anyways.

I am assigned to find out how world came to be according to Hindu scriptures. Like in Islam, people believe that the world was created by God. God created everything and Adam. Then he created Eve and so on and so on... so is there something like that in Hinduism.

Hopefully the question is clear.

At the end of many editions of the Old Testament, it says the End of the Prophets. Most Jews consider the last of the OT prophets to be the last word that God has spoken. That is all God had to say to mankind. No more revelation for the past 2400 years.

Christians disagree. After 400 years of silence, God spoke to us again through John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostles. They believe that the Jews are wrong to think that revelation ended 400 years earlier. However, they believe that after the death of the apostles, there was no more revelation. The end of the NT is the End of the Prophets. That is all that God had to say to mankind. No more revelation for the past 2000 years. Sound familiar?

Mormons disagree. After 1800 years of silence, God spoke to us again through Joseph Smith and continues to do so through subsequent prophets. We believe that revelation will never cease. Whether you are Jew, Christian, or Muslim, can you tell me what's wrong with that belief?

Most Christians agree that their Bible was inspired by God himself.

Countless horrible acts have taken place over time, and many of them were claimed to have been inspired by God.

How does one separate what was truly inspired by God, and what was inspired by sheer lunacy or villainy?

Excuse my ignorance as I do not have cable. We watch only videos. Too much garbage on tv for my comfort. I am asking because I am on dialysis and find this disgusting and inhumane.

The bible, as we know, was God-breathed (inspired).
Scripture was written with the assumption that God already exists....there was no question about it (and I completely agree as a born again Christian).

With that said, the burden of proof doesn't lie on us to prove that God does exist.....but rather....it lies on the non-believer to prove that He doesn't.

Agreed?

Would you marry someone who said, "When we do have problems, we could look in the Bible for some clues as to how to solve our problems"?

Just the pure and simple fact that we're even here to begin with. That anything exists especially humans... like i can imagine there bein a universe without humans but the fact that we're here is in itself is a miracle. We are, most likely, the most intricate creations in the universe... at least to the extent of our knowledge and discovery.

But even before us, the universe had to be created by God or a god and i imagine he'd care about his creation... it's all he's got really... what else would God do?

Now don't start thinking we were created by a higher power! Just because we are the ONLY planet to pull it off.
