I would like precise details and concrete evidence, to the time, place and manner in which Jesus will fly down from heaven and rectify all the world's problems.

I teach Bible study at church, and I will tell you people love to talk about God's love and grace, but when you start talking to them about the necessity of repentance, obedience, and perseverance they start becoming quiet and even obstinate. Any church leaders also notice this?

Pretend you're living in the days of the New Testament. You're a devout Jew, knowing the law up and down, and true to the teachings of the early prophets. Suddenly, there are rumors of a great prophet named Jesus performing miracles and claiming that He is the Son of God, the promised Messiah. You know the Scriptures of the old days and you know One has been promised. You wonder.

Days later, Jesus comes to your town. The Pharisees and Saducees speak against him, and some of your friends do the same. Yet, others of your friends say, I believe He is the one. You're caught. You don't know whether to believe or not. You hear him speak. He IS a great prophet, but is he the Messiah? You fight with yourself. You go home, search the olden Scriptures. You know that your family does not believe this man is the Messiah. You know that tradition would say he can't be the one. Yet, you know what you hear.

Will you accept Him as the Messiah?

How come it took only six days?

Any Christian have any opinion on this?

I want to know if, in your opinion, it is unfair/wrong/immoral/rude to vote for your own answer as a "best answer."

I am not asking about using multiple accounts to vote for oneself. I just mean answering a someone else's question and then, when it's in voting, choosing the familiar answer as the top choice.

Aren't Christians against rapists?
And wouldn't any Christian agree that a child shouldn't have to grow up knowing it wasn't born out of love but an evil act of sick hatred?
I just don't understand devout Christians opinions on this!

PS: I have nothing against Christians & I know that a woman has to be of a certain age to get an abortion because for example if she was 15 it would wreck her insides and mess up her puberty cycle or something.

If God didn't want us to "Lust" and fornicate, then why did he make Women so beautiful, and men so horny?

I don't have cable (too expensive among other things) and there's rarely anything fit to watch that doesn't offend the Spirit, save a few PBS shows. My goal is to make my home a place where the Spirit dwells. And in my opinion what I allow into my home influences whether or not the Spirit will want to enter. So if (for the most part) there's little more than poopy brownies on tv, then why have a tv?


(Should I include the story of the poopy brownies to provide clarity?)

Never let what other people think of you be more important than what you think of yourself.

In all seriousness--is a kiss that turns too passionate a bad thing, or is the teaching more along the lines of "just don't touch the naughty bits?"

I'm genuinely curious about this. I can't imagine God would outlaw affection and I've never seen anything more specific than "don't fornicate," so I wonder where the line is actually drawn. There's an awful lot of ground between a peck on the cheek and sexual contact.

But is sexual contact just sexual THOUGHTS while contacting someone else??

Like everything else, I can see this getting kind of extreme but I'd love to hear what people generally think.

An answer to a previous question got me thinking about this:

If, because you're a believer ( in ANY religion ) you KNOW you can go to heaven, would you ask God to accept someone else, not of your faith, into heaven instead, because you KNEW they were more worthy ?

For instance, if you were a run-of-the-mill, everyday Christian, would you ask God to accept a Jewish doctor who had dedicated his life to healing others, or if you were a Muslim, would you give up your place in Paradise to a Hindu who had cared for the poor and downtrodden, or if you were Jewish, would you give your place to a Christian who had sheltered Jewish kids during the Holocaust?

If you KNEW someone of a different faith had done more for humanity than you had, would you be willing to stand aside so that person could enter your "heaven" ?

I'm curious to know how many "religious" people believe that deeply in Justice . . . . and, anticipating certain answers, yes, I believe God would grant your request.

I need to know royalty information, aprox costs, etc.
If someone is reading from the bible during a recorded sermon or homily do they need to pay a license or royalty to that particular bible text publisher?

This may be a dumb question, but I was just wondering how people came to picture Satan as being a red guy with horns and a pointy tail (sometimes even cloven feet).

Anyone know?

If some hypothetical person, not naming anyone especially not me, was to run over the lord during his second coming, there will still be a third coming right.
