Hi
what would you do if your best friend suddenly told you that he/she doesn't believe in God?

I know this is not true of all Christians, or even the majority, but some definitely think that the Jews are evil because they were responsible for Jesus' death. I know a couple of people personally, plus I've read comments on here and other forums..

But I don't understand, wasn't the whole point for him to die as the sacrificial lamb? I just don't understand the logic.

(of course, I also don't think it makes sense to blame anyone today for what happened two thousand years ago, but that's not exactly my point here)

I've been getting more involved with the gay community and helping a friend of mine fight to be allowed in the military, because he's homosexual does not mean he shouldn't be allowed to serve his country. I've seen many Christians, Catholics, and other theists on this site say that they're against homosexuality because God forbids it.

Without being rude - because I respect your choice (to an extent), but I also want to bring up the fact that God teaches you to love your fellow man. Should you deny someone's friendship because of their choice in partnership simply because you don't agree with it? Do you consider the feelings of others when you speak out against the gay community in the name of God?

- comforter can't speak, but human being can?
john 16:13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

- how can the comforter testify of Jesus while he can't talk?
John 15:26
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

- if holyspirit was already known ? then who is Jesus is talking about here?
John 14:17
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

-who is the another comforter?
John 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

comforter = a promised prophet who will come after Jesus, testify of Jesus

The word homo is Latin for "human", chosen originally by Carolus Linnaeus in his classification system. It is often translated as "man", although this can lead to confusion, given that the English word "man" can be generic like homo, but can also specifically refer to males. Latin for "man" in the gender-specific sense is vir, cognate with "virile" and "werewolf". The word "human" is from humanus, the adjectival form of homo.

In modern taxonomy, Homo sapiens is the only extant species of its genus, Homo. Likewise, the ongoing study of the origins of Homo sapiens often demonstrates that there were other Homo species, all of which are now extinct. While some of these other species might have been ancestors of H. sapiens, many were likely our "cousins", having speciated away from our ancestral line.

life repeats itself. when Moses came to the pharoh told him i have been sent by God he rejected him. and then when Jesus came to the Jewish tell them he was sent by God they also rejected him. and when Muhammad came with a clear book that he was sent by God they also rejected him.

what make you think you are different than the jewish for not accepting Jesus? Life just repeat itself, for every generation there must be those who don't believe.

How all-knowing would God have to be, to ask a question, that everyone visiting this site would have to say, "I just don't know..."

Is such a question possible? Would people demand an answer?

Think about nature, a river, when you restrict the natural flow of water, what happens. Doesnt it really create a bigger problem. Our government tries to restrict drugs, what happened, did it fix the problem or create a bigger one. When your parents restricted you from doing something, didnt it make you want to do it more? Could that be why the catholics are having such a problem with their preists? So here's my real question...Do you think it was God that wanted to restrict us, or was it man?

(I dont mean to pick on catholics, its just an example)

As I understand it thus far, it is as far from me as those christians who claim they love God more than their spouse.

I cannot imagine Love without attachment, passion, involving myself in the life of the one I love. I cannot look upon the death of a Beloved with the same composure and serenity as I would look upon her in life.

If I did, I could not call it "Love".

And while achieving Spock-like detachment from events may be the goal, it was Spock's buried human passions that cried out to us for release.

He could not cry. Tears were illogical. And so we cried for him.

True detachment sees no difference between the rose and the cesspool. They are both illusion.

But we are human, and not by accident or as a punishment to suffer, but as Life striving to attain harmony within itself through Selfless Love.

Why choose to believe we are born to suffer when we are born to Love?

This one is for those who believe the bible is the literal word of god....

So by creating Eve from Adam's rib, making her a genetic copy, god was severly limiting the gene pool from which all of humanity was to come.

Hypothesizing that Adam had dark skin and hair, meaning Eve had dark skin and hair, how would the genes for the differences in humanity that we see today be possible?

And before everyone starts shouting "It was sin! It was sin!", tell me how Adam & Eve sinning could possibly create the gene for blonde. How could sin possibly add elements to a gene pool?

So could it have been because there was change, mutation within the human species along the way?

If not, how else could this have happened?

They cannot be Christians if they truly believe Jesus wasn't just the anointed one (the Christ) but the actual Messiah of the Old Testament. I'm not speaking of Messianic Jews. I'm speaking of messianic as in Messiah and gentiles. I guess you could make the name Messianic gentiles to be absolutely correct. Then again, I guess Christians might believe that Jesus was anointed but never became a messiah. "A leader who is regarded as or professes to be a savior or liberator."

It's something of a paradox. The religion that rests on the perfect Book that has used the wrong word for 2000 years.

I'm not terribly familiar with the teachings of the Mormons, but I do believe in a prophet, just not the one you do.

But when God sends a prophet he usually has a crucial purpose. What was that purpose?

And is there any Biblical support, such as prophecy, for Joseph Smith being sent?

Okay, when you have a song that is in say the Key of D, how do you know what chords to play with it? And for instance if the song is in D how would you chance it to a differnt key, say B?


I'm trying to teach myself to play piano, but I'm stuck. I want to learn to play by chords instead of music, but I have no idea how to do it. I got a thing off of the internet and it has all of the chords that are in a certain key, but I don't really know how to use them in a song. And plus their for guitar, and I don't know if that would make a difference with piano or not.

Anyone that has any imformation PLEASE help. I am desperate. And please give as much info as you know.
