If you say that you don't do something because it's illegal but then you are not willing to condemn the crime aren't you just as bad as the criminal that actually commits the crime? I can't stand open hypocrites and stupid crooks:)

As the Son of God who knows all things, Jesus clearly warns us that hell is a horrible reality. Hell was one reason why Jesus was willing to humble Himself in order to suffer for us on the cross. Jesus wants to save us from ourselves-fromour own rebellion against God and its tragic consequences.

Read Matthew chapter 8 verses 10-12 and chapter 25 v 31 and Luke 13 verses 24-28.

Why doesn't he be fair? Its like he made adam and eve, and they sinned, so for some reason he holds the entire mankind responsible for THEIR MISTAKES. I have tried to do best i can in this life. Any way if he made them didn't he know that they were going to sin, or God isn't all knowing and didn't know the future, jesus already said he did anyway.

In my country, everything that we know about hinduism, meditation and spirit came through Yogananda and Sri Aurobindo. I don´t know if their names are known in India. What do you think about them?

To keep you away from Jesus. he wants all the souls he can get to go to hell with him. he don't want you on Gods side for he hates God. satan does not care for us only himself. hes evil. Jesus loves you and wants you to accept Him and love Him. So you can be in heaven with Him and have everlasting life. satan only wants to cause you pain and sickness. Jesus is the way to heaven. Jesus is love, don't let satan take your soul. accept Jesus before its too late for you. praying for the lost. Jesus is waiting for you to accept Him. Jesus loves you. Praise Jesus for He is holy!!

I am a captialist and believe in the free market system within a reasonable structure of regulatory agencies.

However, I read a quote from Napolean where he claimed that religion is what keeps the poor from rebelling against the rich. Naturally, in a free market economy, such a disparity isnt as rich, and thus, I wouldnt apply his claims in America, but I thought they were interestingf anyway.

I have a thinning hair condition at 33 years of age and it made me look HORRIBLE within one year now. One year ago, I looked pretty good. I'm not being vain or anything, and I've never had the best hair in the world, but at least I had hair!! I stay depressed, take sleeping pills to sleep at night, and cry all the time. I'm MISERABLE. I pray, but it's like each time I pray, He decides to make it worse than the day before. I'm so disheartened by this and it makes me avoid certain situations in life. My mom even agreed and laughed that it looked bad today at a 4th function and it made me feel like going home and slitting my wrists. I'm starting to get mad at God for not listening, and I know that's BAD according to all you devout people, but I feel so alone in this. My husband says I need a psychologist, but yes, let me go to some lady with long flowing locks and ask her how she'd feel if she was me all of a sudden. It SUCKS!!!!!!

It's pretty common knowledge, December 25th was the old pagan celebration of the solstice. It's a couple days out now, which you'd expect after a couple of thousand years.

Seeing as though there's no evidence for Jesus having existed in the first place, there's certainly no evidence to support Dec 25th as being his "birthday".

Why do some christians give atheists a hard time for celebrating christmas with their families when they're actually unwittingly celebrating a pagan festival?

I understand that some people reject religion at large but how does that equate to the logical refutation of a Creator? Is there some irrefutable truth to prove that God does not exist?

Before you begin, I do not accept the reductio argument of the pink unicorn variety. The non-existance of a unicorn is not proof of anything. Only straightforward logical reasoning please.

Please tell me where to fine this verse and what are your opinions of this verse: why did Jesus cry?

There is much speculation as to who the antichrist is.

Daniel described an individual who will blasphemously set himself against God by persecuting believers and defiling the Lord's "holy place" (Daniel chapter 7 verses 21-27.

Jesus predicted a sacrilegious figure who would terrorize God's people to the extent that "if the Lord does not reduce that time, no one will be saved" (Mark chapter 13, verses 14;20.

Paul wrote of a man of sin who seeks to dethrone God and uses Satan's power to deceive people (2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 3-4, 9-10).

John warned of a rival and opponent of Christ, the antichrist (1 John 2 v 18; 22; chapter 4 v 3; 2 John 1 v 7).
Jesus is the only biblical writer to use the term antichrist.

Revelation presents a figure who seems to fulfill these earlier prophecies. This man of evil, known as the beast, is dedicated to opposing God.

What do you think your soul may look like? In movies, your soul always looks like a silohuette of yourself, which seems mildly silly. I'm not sure I think a soul resembles anything that we've ever seen. What do you think?

In other words how serious do you think they took their religion? Would you say they were casual worshipers? Or were they passionate? I would really love to hear some Christian perspective on this...and obviously you would have to know a bit about history to know the answer to this.

Context (surrounding verses) is always important when determining the meaning of a scripture. Was Jesus making a claim to be God at John 10:30?

2007-07-04 12:32:35 · 28 answers · asked by LineDancer 7

for example:

The bible
The dictionary
The media
Newspapers

Do you not realize that these are manufactured by the same ppl that told the lie in the 1st place?

That's like a person questioning the Bible, and then someone else saying "oh no...it's true b/c THE BIBLE says it is"

How absurd.

Two women will be working at a mill. One will be taken, and the other will be left. (Matthew 24 v 40-42).
This description of Jesus of the day when He returns has sparked the imaginations of many. What would it be like if half a town's population suddenly disappeared? Would cars spin out of control, as those bumper stickers that read "WARNING: In case of rapture this vehicle will be unattended" suggest?

The term rapture, meaning "to seize" or "to carry away," is an integral part of Paul's description of Christ's return. At this event, believers are literally pulled up to meet Christ in the air (1 Thessalonians 4 v 17).

If you get offended this means you.

I find that Christians seem to be more on the deaf, dumb, & blind side overrall

Atheists, (and I DO believe in God, so I'm not one) appear to be far more informed & intelligent. Or maybe they just present themselves that way. I guess I feel this way b/c they don't just accept whatever they're told. They actually research and them make an INDEPENDENT, INFORMED decision.

There ARE some intelligent Christians, I'm only generalizing, but there are far more that are sleep walking and live amongst the deaf, dumb, & blind.

The Roman church has done a fine job of making a human indeed!
