Some Christian parents let their children stay home while they go to church. Doesn't the bible say "Raise a Child up in the way that they should Go?"

Some might say its none of my business but this is getting our of control, we let our children run Free, then we wonder why our Daughters come home pregnant and we wonder why our Sons are in Jail. I have been in church all my life and i have seen many come to church but leave their child at home.

My Mom Drug me and my sister to church, lol, and i thank her for doing it because i still have God in my heart and now that im out of the house, i didn't depart from it, Im not boasting in myself but i saying that if we keep our children in church then they will not leave it and they will not be caught up in a lot of foolishness. God bless

Filioque means "and the son". The First Council of Constantinople in 381 were the first to elaborate on the origins of the Holy Spirit and added to the Nicene Creed the statement that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father. The filique means that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. It was first used in Germany to combat the "Arian heresy" and was finally adopted by the Roman Catholic Church in 1014 when the Holy Roman Emperor Henry II came to Rome to be crowned. He was German and was shocked to discover that they did not use the filioque. The church at this stage was incredibly weak and needed his protection and so added it. It has remained apart of Catholic tradition ever since.

I presume it has incredible importance as it was one of the major reasons for the Great Schism between the East and West in 1054. How important is the filioque to the modern Christian and which interpretation do you hold correct?

As marx once said "illusionary happiness"!!! so What is the point in having such vague beliefs? People kill each other over things that they dont even know are real? People claim to be religious but then dont practice what they are meant to? plus what about the historical truths that we have found to actually be false, Ie our understanding of the world itself, I mean come on guys we used to think the world was flat and that was only a couple of hundred years ago. So if you have books and scrolls that are thousands of years old telling you how to live your life through what could essentially be fairy tales, how credible does that make religion? Answer Wisely, you may be shot down.

Galations 3:19-26

19 ¶ Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

21 ¶ Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

22 But the Scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

23 ¶ But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterward be revealed.

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

1. Taoism says, 'Regard your neighbour's gain as your own gain, and your neighbour's loss as your own loss'.
2. Buddhism says, 'Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful'.
3. Christianity says, 'All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye so even to them'.
4. Islam says, 'Do unto to all men as you would they should do unto you and reject for others what you would reject for yourself'.
5. Hinduism says, 'Let no one do to other, what he would not have done to himself'.

Why is it that people always want to spread lies about Islam? I have even seen so called "Muslims" saying things that are untrue. If you want to say something at least make sure it is accurate.

Most religions express that men are spiritually stronger than women. Inequality between men and women still exists in our modern society. Do you find that the spiritual difference contrasts how society is controlled ironic?

If so why?

Some of you know I haven't watched the news for over a year. It saddens me to see the state of the world & the way we treat our fellow humans. Its unbearable. When I watch what's going on out there, its like watching the world vomit from the pit of its stomach.

Do you believe we will always live with this madness? Is it part of the bigger picture? Or do you believe there will come a day when there are no wars?

Personally, I try to follow my head, as emotions come & go. Like a thermostat, if adjusted properly...they can be nice, but if not set right, they can make things downright miserable.
So, I try to use my head when I deal with people.
You?

Does God depend on the other elements of trinity like Jesus and the Holy Ghost?

i.e. can God still be One without the other elements of Trinity?

If your answer is yes, isnt it a blasphemy to assume that God depends on something to exist?

If your answer is no, why bother teaching the trinity?

If your religion is indeed real, and todays religious leaders have such differing opinions about the causes of the world wide ethical and religious decline, then... would anyone like a cup of tea, because im going to the kitchen? I might have a biscuit or two if you're lucky too!

to be in unity with them.

It is a call of Chrsitians to be unified with others who claim Jesus has Lord.
HOw do you deal when they deliberately continue to take drugs, misrepresent the Bible... How do you follow God's request that we be in unity?

This was really killing me for a few months, I think, I have resolved it just interested in how other Christians manage this?

I am an Atheist, I am repeatedly shocked by some of the comments made about us Atheists. This idea that we don't care about other people, or that we are evil people who spread lies, or that we are somehow in denial, or that we hate theists, and many many others. I would like to try to address these.

We Atheists believe in freedom, above all. That all people have a right to their own opinions and that they will not be punished for them, such as with eternal damnation and the like. That people can all live together regardless of sexual orientation, personal interests, etc...

Very few of us Atheists genuinely dislike Religions as a whole. Just Fundamentalists who attempt to stamp on others beliefs and seem to despise all who disagree with them. I in fact have several very close friends who are Christians, we get along fine, they don't try to convert me, I don't try to convert them.

Please everyone say your reasons for disliking or distrusting Atheists and I will try to respond to them

I was hoping for some kind, godly counsel about how god forgives me and wants to help me, but the lady just started yelling, literally yelling, at me to repent. Then when I was like ok, she was like "what do you mean ok!?" It wasn't a good experience. The issue in question was smoking, not some heinous crime. Do you think that was the appropriate way for her to respond? I don't somehow imagine God would scream at me for making a mistake. Yes, I do believe in repentance and I know it means to turn from sin, and I want to repent and smoke no more, but there was a total lack of forgiveness or the idea that God would help me and loves me in spite of myself.

why do muslims attibute before its time science to a god in its Quran?

Given that may like Leonado da Vinchi came up with idea like the helicopter centuries before it was realised and other scientists have got the basic idea of things years even centuries before somone filled in the blanks to perfect the idea and claim the credit.


Plus often when an advanced people have come accross a primitive one the primitives thoguht them gods.


Why not attiubute the Quran science to somone who just creatively guessed it, (bit like in Star Trek in the 60s they predicted much of the scientiic reality today... ie things they just made up inspired people to actually make them for real... you would be amazed how many things from mobile phones to medical scanners and MP3s) or may have done advanced research or hypothesis.


Or go one further aliens shows them, passed themself off as a god and give the science to someone?


Makes a lot more sense then a god, and why one why not lots
