i don't really want to cheat, i was raised catholic, but i've gone through so much in my life that i feel like i'm losing my faith. My husband has cheated on me in the past, and i forgave him, tried to wrk things out. But if your constantly being put dwn, and then someone else tells you nice, good things, wouldnt it make sense to be with the one that tells u nice things? And if i stay w/ my husband for the kids and have an affair will i go to hell??

I have recently become very preoccupied and nervous about death. I feel bad for saying this, but I love the way my life is now and I am scared that I wont be able to enjoy those things in Heaven, like playing the clarinet, reading, sewing, baking, helping little kids and the poor (well it will be good that there will be no poor in Heaven), spending time with friends, shopping (I am NOT materialistic...I mean I barely have any $ as is, it was a huge mess that started the summer when I was 14 my family is just getting "back up and on our feet"), spending time alone with my mom, the rain (i find it peaceful), the change in seasons and so on.

I have tried praying but I have found no peace. I try to be the best Christian I possibly can be and nothing gets better : ( I am only 16 and I don't want to live the rest of my life with depression. I don't want my relationship with God to be ruined either. Please help!!
Thank you, God Bless and keeping you all in my prayers

........those that worship God the most, are Losers, in a good way!.compared to the ones that just go with the flow(society), i.e a religious guy is the guy that was mock in jr. high, the guy that never got that girl in High School, the guy that never got the respect of his peers, the guy that doesn't date much, the guy that suffers from loneliness...COMPARED TO "cool guy"(the guy that just goes with the flow)....why?

this is an addition to a question i posted a few days ago. just because you are a Christian dosn't mean you should be poor and without. And neither should the church or the pastor/preacher. How else are they to help those in need if they have nothing to offer. my church has outreach programs, offers classes for getting your G.E.D as well as college credits, we also have renovated are nursery (why shouldn't God's children have a safe beautiful place for themselves.) just to name a few things. Furthermore, there is staff that has to be payed (which includes the Pastor). Where do you (those that believe these men and women should go without) think all of the money comes from to do these things. Empowering God's people is "Ministry" for all of you living in the box. And it requires money ie; Tithes and Offerings...p.s. i know they're people who have abused this money, but to say "ALL" pastors and preachers ect.. should be poor is assinine.

At least 7 historians of the time: Luke, CLement of ROme, Polycarp, Ignatius, Dionycious, Tertulian and Origen speak of the sufferings of the apostles

they also speak of the change in mind of a rather serious minded Pharisee names Saul of Tarsus who became a believer in Jesus

why would someone hold something to be true all their lives, even dying for a lie... or was ir?

I am a Spirital person, I just do not believe in religion. I am not misguided or scared I am perfectly able to admit that there is a higher power that helps to lead us on our way. So why do so many of you judge me and tell me that my views are wrong? Do you think that I am not as good as you because my spirituality is not as strong as yours? I am curtious of your beliefs and do not put you down for your beliefs. Can we honetly never co-exist without fighting and judging? Do you not find that sad?

I honestly am just looking for answers and trying to understand my spirituality more. I am not judging you. I don't believe in it. I would like to learn more about religion, but I do not want it thrust upon me. That just turns me off to it.

Can you please try to verabalize this for me without quoting the bible? I want YOUR thoughts.

My pastor tells me that The Bible says that Jesus was ugly. Is this true? And if so, where can I find this verse?

2007-06-01 12:36:02 · 19 answers · asked by Foxglove 2

that Christ is only mentioned as the Savior in reference to ONE BOOK: the Jewish Bible?

Anything written afterwards will obviously grab any literary allusion in the OT and say "THIS points to JC" and THIS DOES TOO."

what a laugh. Hey Do me a favor.

Someone find us a reference to Christ in SOME OTHER CULTURE, somehwere, anywhere on EARTH. If His Truth is so universal, every religion and every language on the planet should have been prediciting His Reign, not just the one that his Apostles happened to have gone to elementary school in.

Don't show me how many labnguages the Bible has been translated into -- that is just silly.

I mean find us some evidence from 2000 years ago, in China, in India, in South America, North America, Asia, Africa -- ANYWHERE where the world was rich in learned lettered civilizations.

One of the key elements necessary for world peace is love. peace follows love naturally. if we agree on this, then why is it so difficult to attain world peace? What's holding us back? Could it be possible that the idea of "love your neighbour as you love yourself" is a lot easier said than done?

Or......is it just that we're all just caught up focusing on our differences and our varying views that we can't begin to conceive an idea of world peace and unity? Maybe if we focus more on our similarities than our differences, we'd be in a better position to attain world peace. Let's start with the most basic similarity - we're all human and we all need love.

What do you think?

Peace.....and Love.

It does me a little. I am American and he is not my pastor. How about the Jewish people or the Muslims? I am sure they don't think of him as their pastor either.
