Please don't take offense to this question. I want Christians to answer. What do you think about the subject Star and Joy's arguement on The View about "pleasing yourself" when you are celibate. Me and my boyfriend are TRYING to abstain. My boyfriend would die if he couldn't and I know he does. It's easy for a woman to say, but is this realistic to men? Is it sinful in your eyes?

She has just posted a question saying she would leave her four children alone in this world to go home to god?
What does everyone think of that? I wont name names like she does but she has lost all of her four children to childrens services and has told more than one of them she hates them. ( a seven yr old)
How could any god forgive this person?
If there is a Christian god would she be allowed into heaven?
She does not repent and just thinks that she is justified in treating precious children so disgracefully!
It just makes me sick to my stomach!
So Christians and non...would you put yourself first and leave your children who were entrusted to you?

In the past few weeks there has been a lot to say about a so-called `god,` which everyone describes as a `he.`
Where is the proof that it is a `he?`
Does `he` have a sexual organ? If so, why?
Does he need to pass water? If so, why?
If `he` is a `he` why did he send down his `holy ghost` to `plant his seed` in Mary?
Why didn`t `he` do it himself or the way he does everything else? By magic? Or whatever.
Face the facts, the bible is full of more holes than a fisherman`s net.

What role(s) do ancestors play in your personal practice? Do you have a special way to honor them or call up their presence in your life? Ancestor veneration has always been an important part of my religious life, but my grandmother just died recently and thoughts have turned to all of those who went before me.

1)If God can heal spiritually,can he also heal physically?
2)Can you explain to me the geocentric view taken in the Bible?
3)The Bible talks about ''the four angels at the four corners of the earth''(Revelations).Is this not referring to a flat earth?
4)How is it scientifically possible for Jesus to have been conceived without a father?
5)If he was conceived without a father,why does the Bible then list his geneaology as being that of Joseph(Matthew 1)?
6)The Messiah was to be called Emmanuel.So why was Jesus called Jesus and not Emmanuel?
7)What about the star of Bethlehem?
8)What about all that in Isaiah and Revelations about the sun being darkened and stars falling from the sky in the end days?How could that happen and yet people survive for further tribulations?
9)Can you prove that Genesis does NOT teach Babylonian astronomy?

I doubt God will give you a choice, but just say God did would you stay behind on this earth full of horrible people, or would you say to God "Lord I am ready plase take me". My desisions would be Father, please take me. I am not affraid of death. So christians what would you dicide? I have 4 children and three out fo the 4 do not need me. One of them does and her name is Rebecca who is 12. She loves coming around my place every second weekend and we have fun together, I take her out, but her things, watch tv with her, eat a good meal together, go to church together. She is saved so if I go home she is in God's hands. My other 3 are being looked after. The deparment of humas services are going to ask my other daughter Sarah who is 10 at my request if He wants to see me. I believe she does as she has not said anything to the contary. I know deep down she loves me.But she is in good care by her grand parents who are looking after her. So christians I would say take me home. What would

I used to ask myself whether "Is God really there" manytimes earlier in my life, but in november 2006, 7 months back, while I was praying, I received the gift Holy Spirit just as Jesus has said recorded in the bible. I knew its all so true. I feel God's presence everyday.

if simple words upset them their faith can't be that strong.
The Christian faith is constantly being mocked yet Christians have learnt to ignore it.

I am a single lady and a married church elder came just to visit one day to 'see how I was just getting along'. His wife is lovely and the truest person you could ever wish to meet. All of a sudden her husband said, "I'm sure God won't mind you fondling yourself, seeing as you've no husband". How on earth the conversation ever got round to that beggars belief. I had done/said nothing to get this remark/comment. I feel upset about what he said. How should I handle this?

Personally, I think it's because we can't. If we do, they will harm those who speak out and their families. So, we do what we can. And this is exaclty what we are supposed to do, and what I want to do. What do you think of this quote?

"On the authority of Abu Saeed Al-Khurdari, who said: I heard the messenger of Allah say: "Whosoever of you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart; and that is the weakest of faith."
(Muslim)"

They try to compare the nature of a non-living thing(such as a watch or a plane), with that of a living thing(Human). Because the watch was created by man, then man also had a creator? How the heck is a watch like a human being?!!! In what ways?

Did I do the right thing?
Today my ex said he was leaving for vacation next week and that he wasn't going to be coming back. He told me he was going to sell his World of Warcraft account (for those WoWers out there, he has 4+ level 70 chars with whatever the top gear is...he has worked hard at it), he said that his son ((11 years old)) is getting on a plane on thursday and he (his son) would probably end up staying there. He asked me to take his cat, he said he was going to give away everything else. We are both in the military, so we have been to plenty of suicide awareness briefings, in which we are usually told certain things to look out for, in which I believe he is a classic case. The problem is, I know he knows what to say to make it look that way, and I honestly if he is trying to get me back in one last desperate attempt, if he is crying out for help, or if that is what he really plans on doing. So afterwards I went and talked to the chaplain and explained the situation to him. ((More below)).

So the chaplain called him. I talked to my ex afterwards and he said he didn't need to talk to the chaplain. Is there anything else I can do at this point, I did intervention, is it out of my hands. I honestly don't want him in my life, and I'm not going to let him use this as a ploy to get me back, but I don't want this to end in suicide, plus that would tramatize his son. Why are people so selfish!
