appropriate christian behavior?
something to the effect you are ignorant, or stupid etc. but once you are done flaming the poster rather than really answering the question you end everything with a quick god bless.
Is this just a fast be nasty ask a blessing and repeat?

I gauruntee all the people in these photos consider themselves "real Christians".

Why are some people under the delusion that America was more virtuous "back in the good old days"?

First sign of life is not laugh but it is cry. Pain.

We start life with pain. We experience lots of hard times in our lifes and it give us chance to grow and buld oursleves to become a good person like God want it from us.

And if we loose this game of life we should pay for it hardy and burn in hell for eternity.

Why God don't give heaven for free, if he is really kind and merciful beneficent?

Why God don't let us to grow in heaven beside him and not in earth?

Because that is what dirty Zionists do to good and honest folks like yourself George.
I cannot bear the tears on your face George...
When is your crucifixion George? Am I invited?
I'll bring beer and chips!

This is what someone said to me in an answer. This is horrible.

You know........no you don't because I haven't explained myself yet.....Did you realize that if you speak 'truth' you actually need to be clear about your intention which means it can't be self-serving at all. I do not proclaim Buddhist texts as truth because they have to be questioned and then discovered to be true. Judgment is wrong regardless of your beliefs, don't you think?

Things such as the hormones that control our sex drive and emotions and how they relate to our behavior and potentially us commiting a 'sin'. Does sin take into account psychological disorders? I have not heard sorties from the bible that talk about a sinner but then explain that the sinner might have suffered from PTSD which might explain his sinning. So my question is why does Jesus not teach about this? Everything seems to be black and white according to religion. It can't be that life is that simple.

The "right" religion is the one you are paying for......the right god is the one they tell you to believe in....think of how many hours you have wasted of your life doing anything religious when you could be enjoying life.

Why do we only use a fraction of the potential of our brains?

If it was god's intention that we die after 70-80 years, why did he give our human bodies this potential if we could never realise it? How would you explain this?

Why would he create us in the first place knowing he would have to destroy some of us by condemning us to hell? Or knowing that an innocent 5 year old girl would one day be brutally raped. Throw out that bullcrap "Free Will" answer people always give when they don't have an answer. I just wonder since I have two children, that I love far more than anything, that I wouldn't have created them in the first place if I knew one day I would send them to burn for eternity. So why would he create in the first place? If he exists, then it seems to me that someone like that if they were human and had children for the sole purpose of torturing them for doing something wrong, would be considered a monster, so why is he worshipped as an awesome being? Please answer, I will choose the best answer.

that is - according to His Word? Or should we not judge at all? (as some would have us to believe)

"Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment." John 7:24

God created light. "He" can't be made of or consist of light, and be infinite or else there would have always been light, and no need to create it.
So how can something not
made of light exist?

If anything is possible for God, can he change a human girl who wants to see wut it's like to be a boy just like that? If she really, really wants it, just for one week, would he do that for her? Someone asked me that question and I didn't know wut to say.

My husband and I are discipling a couple who is new in their faith. We are beginning a bible study together, and I would like to know if you have any suggestions for a study. Book studies are fine, but I want us to go deep in the bible. In other words, I want a to use a study to support the bible, no the bible to support the study. I'm tired of studies that only have you read a verse here and there. I want some good reading. I am looking for something for someone only beginning to study the bible. Serious answers are appreciated.

A couple of days ago, I read on the newspapers about a book who is to be published soon.

This book is based on the doctorate thesis of a university teacher.

She broaches the religions' views on women who were always perceived as a lesser human form...

The religions that she focuses are Paganism, Christianity and Judaism...

(It's obvious that she didn't include Islam in this, because it is not safe or recommendable...
Remember what happened to Salman Rushdie, or to the cartoonist of the Danish newspaper...)

So I would like to ask, can you accept a criticism of your religion if it is fair?

I did a "contact an old friend spell" about a week ago and ever since someone has been calling a couple of times a day and hanging up. That never used to happen before. I think my spell may have worked, but the person on the phone doesn't say anything so I don't know for sure.

Isnt the truth of the matter that none of us KNOWS anything, we each just choose what to BELIEVE based on our life experience and accumulated knowledge. I can say I believe/disbelieve that somewhere in the universe there is a planet with silicone based lifeforms, but I cant say I know that to be true. I can say based on current knowledge its unlikely or it is likely, but I cant say I know.. Unless or until there is proof undeniable.. only then can I say I know. Now Atheists say the lack of evidence is the proof need to say they know god doesnt exist, Christians say the bible is the proof they need to say they know god does exist.. But isnt the truth of the matter that neither claim has any real evidence to back it up, or for that matter to call it anything more than an opinion or belief? It is my opinion that if more people admit thier ignorance there would be alot less strife. It is my belief that no god/s exist, but I am not arrogant enough to claim that I know that to be true.

if it's "though shall not kill" means that all the killing god told israelites to do are against his own commandments.
if it means" you should not kill anything whatsoever" would mean that all christians and jews should be vegans,
if it means" you shall not murder" it doesn't really help much, because murder is killing without justification, and justification gets really fuzzy depending on times and local customs, what's just in one society may be regarded as unjust in another one.
Are there other translations?
