everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do..And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! ..But He loves you. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! ..But He loves you.

Are we, as Catholics, supposed to take the book of Genesis(garden of eden) as actual historic fact or symbolism. Please no Catholic bashers.

And dont give me any bulldust about "we keep Sunday in honour of the resurrection. Sunday aint the Sabbath". Saturday is the Sabbath of the Commandment
You cant justify Sunday that way.

You can do anything you want to do in life and it's your choice.

Helping people

Hurting people.

Doing whatever you wish right?

No tree in India, Nepal or Indonesia has produced the ek-mukhi in the past few centuries. Only if one acquires one which has been passed down from generation to generation might it be possible to find this exceedingly rare object.

Because Jesus took away the ten and replaced them with two. Love god with all your heart and love others as he loves us.
But if I realy loved God wouldnt I
1. Not have any other gods.
2. Not worship idles
3. Not use his name in vain.
And
4. Keep holy the Sabbath day that He blessed and made holy.?

I need to find exactly where in any church literature it says that Visiting Teachers should be in Sunday Dress (skirts) when they go out to do their Visiting Teaching. Prefer an exact reference to a Handbook or Talk by a Prophet that mentions this for a class I am teaching about V.T. . Please no church bashers!!!

To pray to any Saint, for something so insignificant? Why would a person pray to Saint Anthony to help her find papers she lost? How immoral is this?

I think hell is going to be your biggest fear times a million. this is my take on hell.

Lying on a floor unable to move while millions of bugs and spiders bit you over and over again and I slowly roast on the insides from some unseen fire. May sound weird to you but this really is my biggest fear.

What do you think hell is going to be like?

Genesis 5:1 When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. (2) He created them male and female; at the time they were created, he blessed them and called them "man."

(3) When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth.

The verse of concern is Genesis 5:3. What does it mean that Adam had a son is his own image? It seems to be saying that Seth was in Adam's image, as opposed to God's. It's as if it is putting the two in contrast right there. I don't recall that it said that Cain or Abel were in Adam's image.

What exactly does this mean? I really appreciate everyone's help with my questions. I'm trying to study and understand the Bible on my own and forget everything I've been told is true by people. I'm trying to read everything as if for the first time and come up with my own understanding. It's not working so well. I'm having some trouble and appreciate everyone answering my questions all the time.

I have read quite a few stories of demons that did good things, and it's hard for me to understand why they are called "demons." I come from a Western background, so in my thinking, demons have always been considered all-bad. But this does not seem to be the case in Hinduism.

I'd like to understand this better. Is there a good website or book on the subject? Can you offer an explanation?

Thanks!

Man should have started talking long after he appeared on this earth.But the first book of Mosses ,Genesis found in the Bible says that god said, let there be light , let there be earth , let there be man etc .That means that god talked even before world appeard .That is long before the Big Bang . Mosses did not report god as sayng let there be a Big Bang . All scientists agree that there shoud have been a Big Bang and common sense also tells us that no creature could have been created in a jiffy like magic .Does it ment that the Genesis is a figment of the imagination of Mosses at level of intelligence that existed at his time ?.Could God have talked even before man began to talk and understand ? Was Mosses present when god said all these and created the world and all
things?
How could man have understood whatever god talked , even at the moment of creating man and what language did he talk and if god talked one language how is that we have thousands of languages now ?

The servant of the lord
" Here is my servant . whom I uphold. my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my spirit on him and he will BRING JUSTICE TO THE NATIONS . He will not shout or cry out . or raise his voice in the sreets. A bruised reed he will not break , and a smouldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will he will bring forth justice; he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth . In his law the island will put their hope ".......
LET THE DESERT AND ITS TOWNS raise their VOICES;LET THE settlements Where Kedar lives rejoice.Let the people of Sela sing for joy;let them shout from the mountaintops. Let them give golry to the Lord ......
BUt those who trust in idols, who say to images `you are our gods ` will be turned back in utter shame . ( Isaiah 42 :1-17 )
COMMENTARY
THe word Kader` confirms that this servant is prophet Muhammed ( pbuh ) because he is the only prophet who descended from Kader the son of Ismael

Israel seems to hold a special significance for you guys. From what I understand, Israel looms large in your bible's predictions concerning the end of the world. My question is, do fundamentalists and evangelicals vote with Israel in mind? And if so, why? If the Christian bible is true, Armageddon's gonna happen anyway - right? Why the push (via votes) to help it along? Why shouldn't we have a fair foreign policy as applies to the Middle East?

Could it be that you are looking to bolster your beliefs by causing the 'fulfillment' of your bible's 'prophecies'?

Many times I see comments such as "Why do you hate God" or "All atheists are angry".
Just because we disagree with your view doesn't make us full of anger and hate.
Yes some atheists post nasty comments but so do people from all groups but at the end of the day,we don't feel hate or anger for something we don't believe exists.
