"There is NOTHING from without a man, that entering into him can defile him" - Mark 7.

I Corinthians 7:7-9
7-For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8-I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9-But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn."

Verse 7 is talking about the Gift of God of being Straight, Gay or Bi.

1 Samuel 18:1,3
"And it came to pass, when he [David] had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul . . . And Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul."

That sounds like a MARRIAGE to me

1 Samuel 20:41
" . . . they [David and Jonathan] kissed one another, and wept one with another..."

Doesn't sound like something a heterosexual would do.

Hold on while I write more...

Whatever happened to the book of Judas?
Why was Judas the "Bad Guy" when he was the closest to Jesus and did as he was told?
and Why did the 12 diciples stone him for being the closest to Jesus? (oh and yes, it has been proven it wasnt suicide, he was stoned by his fellow diciples)

Being raised as a Catholic when I was young I know I said the Hail Mary many, many times. I never questioned the sentance "Holy Mary Mother of God" I just said it. My daughter asked me this question a few days ago and I really didn't have an answer.

Why do Christians today not concern themselves with Jesus life but only his death? The Bible is missing 18 years of the life of Jesus, and his ministry in Judea only lasted 3.5 years, yet the Gospel of John states that Jesus did so many things that it would not fill all the books in the world, and that's after only 3.5 years of his ministry.

Why do most Christians today not care about those lost years, and what he did and stood for? Are they scared they may find something they don't like, like the fact that Jesus went east to study God and learn about God in different religions? Are people scared that Christianity is based more on Eastern religions than they want to admit? Hiding their heads in the ground does not kill the truth.

This is the reason I read books concerning Jesus and his teachings outside of traditional Christianity, gnostic/Eastern. I supplement the Bible with these, as this paints a truer picture of Jesus Christ. I'm glad I did, I know my Saviour AND Master

Since U.S. politics, judges and lawmakers are dominated by a Judeo-Christian constituancy, why do Christians use the "laws of man" excuse to indirectly condemn sinners? As if the laws of man in this country were made by atheists.

They say "I forgive them in my heart, but they will still face the consequences of The Laws of Man". That old excuse may have been legitimate way back when the bible was wrote, but it's different now that they dictate the laws of man.

So, Atheist Don't Believe in God
Then what does one Believe in?

Also I am trying to be respectful i am curious to know
what Atheist believe in then i am not trying to start
argument on Believes because with one of those most often
you get no where, because everyone choses' to believe
There own way, I myself Believe in The Lord with all my heart.
Why are Atheist So against God? There is no prove that he doesn't exist just people who refuse to Believe.
Scientist can be wrong by the way they been wrong many times.Scientist also don't have all the answers to everything.
But all I am Curious about is what does atheist Believe in?
Why do people Choose to be atheist? Are they simply mad at God? someone who just don't want to believe something they can't see...am just trying to understand better is all not be disrespectful I am not going to shove The Lord down your throat, you either believe in him or you don't your choice
so anyway answer the question if you wish but be nice .

Its a new term for me (you learn something new everyday). I just read that they look specifically at "the red letters (or words attributed directly to Christ)." That they refuse to hang their identity solely on the two political hot button issues of homosexuality and abortion. They focus on the helping the poor, underrepresented, and the enviroment. Is that a fair assessment? How long have they been around?

Yesterday a mother called our house for prayer for her son. My Wife listened attentively to the woman. She had just gotten back from Wichita Kansas. Her seventeen year old son had come up missing from a drug rehab center there. He had been missing for two weeks and his family had went there to pass out flyers with his picture on them in hopes that someone might identify him and he could be found. The lady told my Wife that she wasn't a Christian, she had grown up catholic and had left that after leaving home at a young age. My Wife is not shy when it comes to prayer and asked the lady if she would like to have a prayer over the phone. She was willing to do anything at this point if it would help get her son found safely. After the prayer they said their good byes.Ten minutes later this lady called back to tell my Wife that they had no sooner hung up the phone and her son called.This lady is now ready to here more about Jesus,will you all pray for her and her family?

Theists believe that God always existed and creates the universe. Atheists believe that matter always existed and big bang started the universe.
Is matter/hydogen atoms/protons = atheists god? (it started all life)

Since being a 'psychic' is a business and people are free to use any business they like, wouldn't I be giving them better service by pretending to be psychic rather than the people who act like they actually are?
Think about it this way - a rube goes to see a psychic.
Rube - I have an ugly mole on my breast, what should I do?
'Psychic' - You aren't getting enough herbs. Luckily I sell some right here.
Now here's what I would do:
Rube - I have an ugly mole on my breast, what should I do?
Me - Well, the spirits are telling me that your Chi is out of wack. Drink this herbal tea, which I sell, but also go see a professional doctor...the spirits feel that there is a certain doctor out there in your future who is your true psychic healer.
See? I'd scam them into buying the tea, but in the end they'd go to the doctor and wouldn't die of cancer.
Same can't be said for the 'real' psychic.
