I am a christian and i absolutly belive in God!! It just bothers me that he is a jealous God, but then if we are jealous it is a sin. Read these verses: Exodus 20:5, Exodus 34:14, and Joshua 24:19.

I am white but feel so drawn to the music and preaching of a local church not to far from my house. I know the minister, she has come into my workplace and is very nice to me. My job requires me to work on Sundays, so joining the Catholic faith is out because the RCIA class is on Sundays. I have tried to go to the classess on Saturday, but we always fall behind because of weddings, confirmations, baptisims. I don't want to have to choose between my job that I desperatly need and my religion. This seems like 2 questions, so if you could help me out with either of them I would appreciate it.

When he said to Kepha (others refer to him as Peter - the phallic as renamed by the catholic church and set up a sacred penis in the St. Penis ... sorry - St. Peter Square ...)

Put away your sword - for those that live by the sword shall die by the sword ...

But - in contrast ... we have every CHURCH in America sending our children to go out and die by the sword ....

Why does this not make sense to me?

Christians that condone murder and think that the messiah was stupid when he said to put the sword away - only need apply ....

Did Deanna Laney bash her childrens brains because the bible told her to do it ?

"Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." (Psalms 137:9, KJV)

"How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones Against the rock." (Psalms 137:9, New American Bible)

"Happy the man who shall seize and smash your little ones against the rock!" (Psalms 137:9, New American Bible)

"a blessing on anyone who seizes your babies and shatters them against a rock!" (Psalms 137:9, Jerusalem Bible)


Deanna Laney bashed in her childrens brains with a rock as ordered by GOD.

TYLER, Texas - A jury on Saturday began deliberating whether a homemaker was insane when she used rocks to bludgeon two of her sons to death and severely injure a third after receiving what she claimed were orders from God.
He recounted Joshua's killing: "He got strike after strike after strike on his head to the point that his brains were coming out of his head like liquid."
Defense attorney began her argument by asking the jury why a DEEPLY RELIGIOUS woman would kill two of her children and maim another without so much as a tear.

Laney, who home-schooled her children in the tiny town of New Chapel Hill, 100 miles southeast of Dallas, was convinced she was divinely chosen by God to kill her children last Mother's Day weekend.

ANDREA YATES - KILLED HER 4 CHILDREN

Much of Andrea’s psychosis had religious imagery. She was obsessed with images of Satan.
About the murders, she told her doctor, "It was the seventh deadly sin. My children weren't
righteous. They stumbled because I was evil. The way I was raising them they could never be saved... Better for someone else to tie a millstone around their neck and cast them into a river than to stumble. They were going to parish [in Hell]." She said that, "Governor [George W.] Bush would have to destroy Satan."

DENA SCHLOSSER - CUT OFF HER INFANTS ARMS

SHE SAID --- "In the Book of Matthew, Jesus says: "If thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell."

The Bible speaks about 2 kind of hopes for men: heavenly (the little flock) and earthly (great crowd).

"Have no fear, LITTLE FLOCK, because your Father has approved of giving you the kingdom." -- Luke 12:32

"... and no one was able to master that song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been bought from the earth." -- Revelation 14:3

"And they sing a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, because you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought persons for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth." -- Revelation 5:9,10

a story on the news the other day a group of teens raped a women in her home and made her little son join in. He was forced to help rape his own mother. Children starve daily and are molested, people are robbed, beaten, people die in such pain and suffering. I hear alot of everything happens for a reason, God gives you no more than you can handle. We have free will if free will causes this we would be better off without. I want to know how can people handle being raped or starved. If children are going 2 die young why let them be created. Life seems to be more of a curse than a gift to me. When a parent knows that their child is being harmed they do everything to remove that child from the situation and if they dont they are just as guilty. I feel we would be better off not existing. I cant help but feel angry. Do we believe because it makes us feel better.I would like to hear other views about God. IF YOUR GOING TO BE RUDE DO NOT REPLY!

Not that my views will be much changed on the subject, but I am curious.

For those who answer in the affirmative, why is it evil? What experience do you derive your knowledge of its evilness from?

about same sex marriage and the opinions towards it by some (notice, I didn't say all) Christian people. I am not trying to make a blanket generalization here, so please don't mistake my intentions. I hear it said over and over that marriage is between a man and woman, and if allowed for same sex couples it will destroy the sanctity of marriage. If this is your opinion, could you please explain to me how my marrying another female would in any way effect your marriage? Please, no quotes from the bible, I happen to be of the belief that many things in the bible are open to many different interpretations, and I myself think God is perfectly ok with my homosexuality. How can you say something will no longer be sacred due to allowing same sex marriages, yet nobody pushes to stop the things that do in fact destroy the sanctity of marriage such as divorce and adultery? I would think there would be more of an effort to outlaw these things, if the true intention was to preserve sanctity.

Based on some who have answered my previous question-- see http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgwJLvx6wyrTGfikJAq3OT3sy6IX?qid=20070720154833AAKYjb9

That I should believe in god and Jesus and that will get me into heaven while good deeds are not acceptable.

So based on my interpretation, I am able to get into heaven even if I kill, rape, steal while still having a belief in god and Jesus. Is that right? And all I have to do is ask for forgiveness at the same time?

Also any thought to the impact that I would have caused onto society by doing bad deeds while asking for god and Jesus to forgive me?
