Different beliefs fascinate me and I was wondering if any of you were away of any strange cults or belief systems that people actually believe in.

When Jesus said to "believe" on Him, He was saying we should have faith in Him, in the same way you would trust a parachute to save you when you jump from a plane. You don't merely believe in the parachute - you put it on. Please don't "jump" without Jesus. If you die in your sins there is no second chance. God will give you justice, and you will end up in Hell forever. Any troubles you have at present are dwarfed by the trouble you are in with your Creator. His wrath abides upon you (John 3:36). God doesn't want you to go to Hell. Neither do you want to go there, so confess your sins to God right now, put your trust in Jesus to save you, and you will pass from death to life. Then read the Bible daily and obey what you read. (See John 14:21). Your obedience to God is the proof of your love. Have faith in God, He will never fail you

Would rather just change everyone else according to our view? Isn't that want most people dislike about religions that try to convert someone?

Isn't that truly self-centered and naricistic?

Changing yourself is a sacrifice.

What do you think?

why are Christians so opposed to casinos and lottories? Is it a case of do as I say not as I do?Or is it just a personal dislike of gambling that modern christians feel they need to impose on others?

There is probably something that you have put off doing. I challenge you to see if you can tackle and finish that project, within the next 7 days. Come on, I bet if you did finish it, you would be less stressed out, and be glad that you finally finished it.

So....
What have you put off finishing, and what you are you going to do about it?

My procrastination items I am tackling
Go to a local business to find out if something I lost is still in the lost and found (I was too embarrassed to ask for it back).
I will finish my long overdue thank you notes from my graduation party.
Fold and put away the mountain of clean laundry in the laundry room.

What about you?

Think about it...

Certainly feminism has changed course from it's original intent in some ways. However, if we truly treated them as equals would there be a need to have a movement like that?

Certainly our personalities are suited for different roles. Of course there are exceptions to that rule but really are they inferior? I don't think so. I know very smart business women and I know very kind and nurturing housewives. They run the gamut. Some work because they have to do, some do it because they want to.

Is one role inferior to another? Of course not. It all works together in harmony.

Men get all hyped up about feminism but really all women want, in general, is to be respected for the person they are.

They just want to be heard, appreciated, and loved. So why not give them that?

There is something very special and spiritual about them, don't you agree?

If the Greek word apo, translated "from" in 2Th 1:9, is interpreted to denote separation, as it often is interpreted to mean, then do you not see Rev 14:10 as a contradiction to that verse? If they do contradict, is it safe to assume that apo did not refer to separation, but a source (i.e. "from" meaning the punishment is produced by God, "from God"), which, in turn, renders the contradiction void?

Eastern Orthodox Christians see punishment happening in the presence of God, harmonizing with Rev 14:10, but with the popular interpretation of 2Th 1:9, others see the punishment as including separation from God.

How can we reconcile these differences and apparent contradictions?

Only by changing yourself. You cannot change anyone. You cannot change someone's mind. You can present information but ultimately it is up to that OTHER person to change.

Why do I say this? As christians we are commanded to go spread the message and make disciples. We were not commanded to change people. We are commanded to change OURSELVES.

However, this principles applies to all people. Change the world, change yourself.

What do you think?

Before medical science came along and showed everyone the light. People actually belived that all diseases were a punishment from "God", or several gods.

But if you claim that there is a 'new testament' and it invalidated the Torah, why then do so many christians perpetually (mis)quote a(n altered and mistranslated) book of Isaiah among other 'old testament' books to 'validate' your belief that jesus was prophesied in the Torah?
And isn't it your own bible which has this jesus saying he came to uphold the law, not overturn it? So, on what is your system founded? Opposition to judaic practices?
And also, do you believe that an infinite god changed?? How did an infinite being who is believed to have taught "the lord is one" (the shema) suddenly become three?? Does this lack of sense bother you at all?

No rude answers, please; I get enough of those from the missionaries who target us.

Whenever I'm answering questions on here I find myself giving answers like the Atheists and sididng against the chrisitians. But I am agnostic. I believe in a higher power and an after life that Atheists do not. Will the Atheists one day turn against me? Should I agree more with the christians? Why does it seem to me most christians are insane? It seems to me that the Atheists are more accepting than christians.

I know spiritually we need to forgive, but how do you decide when to give up?

I have confessed all my sins but I get no sense that I am forgiven.
Is this because I have offended God too much?

The term (Church) as in the Bible mean (the called out ones).
The Church is not a Builden or Temple, it is the people called,by the Father who send Jesus Christ, and it will have the name of (the Chursh of God.) It will keep the Sabbath Day (saturday) to keep it whole, not Sunday, Man made Sabbath. This Church will have God's true Ministers. God's Ministers will be preaching the gospel of Jesue Christ and His second coming. The Little Church is few. It will be preaching the true Gospel and Baptising in a large body of water.
