I am in a relationship with a girl that I love dearly. Well today after reading an email that she sent me, it sounds like she has feelings for the old lover, and i am the rebound man. That is a problem because if we want to be close, then she has to let go of the past. It will cause problems if she doesn't.

I have been praying the whole time that God would either open the door or close it, and i think it might be closing.

Just please pray that God will grant me patience, strength, and understanding and that His will be done in my life....

Thanks in Advance

I was wondering about Romans 10:17:

So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Does this scripture apply to deaf people or people who are all alone and unable to hear the Word of God? What if they study the Bible intently every day? If they are unable to hear, can they still grow in faith?

Mithra had many parallels with Jesus. And one of the most striking ones was the last supper. Mithra was also believed to have held a last supper with his (twelve!) apostles before dying and going to heaven. Mithra would have spoken:
"He who shall not eat of my body or drink of my blood, so that he may be one with me and I with him, shall not be saved."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To give you a taste of just how strikingly close the parallels are, we’ll give you two quick examples – about the creation of Adam from clay, and Eve from Adam’s rib:
The Instruction for Merikare (Egypt, 2100 BC): The first human is breathed to life through his nose:“He [the sun god Ra] gave the breath of life to their noses, for they are likenesses of Him which issued from His flesh”

Sumerian mythology: The goddess Ninhursag takes out one of the ribs of Enki, another god. Then she makes a woman out of the rib, ‘Ninti’ – literally: ‘lady of the rib’.

That's all I have to highlight atm.

Yahh, the Catholic Church has made a few controversial missteps in the past... like many "holy wars" for instance that had no real catalyst or reason behind them... those were merely men just looking for a reason to kill and they used their religion as an excuse (not just Christianity either).

Also, men in power (like the previous popes) who controlled everything were drunk with it and actually led themselves to believe that they were like god's themselves so they took the authority to just kill whoever they felt didn't fit human standards based on beliefs.

Consider Bush as the new "I rule the world" mental case... he decided to walk into Iraq for what reason? I think it's something like 300,000+ Iraqis killed comparatively to the 3,000 U.S killed? That's honestly a disgrace... i actually heard stories about some U.S troops walking the streets and meetin a status quo for kills ina day.

And Bush is no model Christian either.

So you decide, God's will? Or Human Tyranny?

Jesus Christ is alive today more surley that any 100% true fact that you can name. He is changing peoples lives, giving them hope, peace and salvation. He makes his presence known to them that love Him.

I would like to read your testimony or something wonderful that the Lord has done for you recently.

I never doubted the existence of heaven, until recently. Someone told me that he thought maybe there is no afterlife, maybe this is all there is, and when we die we're just snuffed out like a candle.
Religion crumbles when faced with hard scientific facts. There is no proof that there is a god, but so many people believe so strongly that there is. I guess it all comes down to what you believe. Some of the most important truths are those you cannot prove because all you have is your belief in them. But it's scary, isn't it, the thought that we might just be snuffed out.

I am a Christian and I know that God exists. I have not only the Bible but my faith and personal conviction that God exists. I am an educated person and can tell you there is not one single piece of scientific evidence that proves that God does not exist. In fact, things like the Laws of Physics, Genetic Code, and Formation of the Planets all point to creation by design (which means you have to have a Creator).

I have read, however, the spats of all the unbelievers who like to roam the Christian sites and would like to give them an opportunity to back up what they say. So, You say God doesn't exist, here is your chance to prove how it is impossible.

Does that mean that Adam had sex with his daughter to procreate or did his children perform incest? Or do Christians have some convenient answer for this one too?

If the government fails to legalize same-sex unions, this will set a precedent regarding the government's ability to restrict the rights of law-abiding citizens. Soon (especially if we continue to elect hard-headed Southern Republicans to the presidency), we may be facing a federal ban on inter-racial marriages. In order to ensure that no one is able to circumvent this law, all Americans will be required to have a racial genetic profile, and government workers will match each person with their closest exact racial match outside of their own family -- because after all, none of us are 100% caucasian, hispanic, african-american, etc.

Okay, so maybe its unrealistic ... but I felt like playing the other side of the "people will be marrying animals" argument.

The Christians believe that God wrote the Bible and my question is if Bible is written by God then why did they (Christians) made changes in Bible? And if it is due to the change of time then my question is, didn't God knew what kind of lifestyle the humans gonna live after lets say 2000 years?

A lot of Christians say they love God but it doesn't really seem like they do. It seems like many believers believe not because they love God, but because they fear him. Am I wrong or is this a reality.
