Would you be willing to use my avatar and nickname for a little while to liven it up a bit around here? I think it could be hilarious and fun to have about 10 or 20 I Walk Funnys running around at once :)

Joseph Smith made this prophecy in May 6, 1843 and is recorded in the History of the Church, Vol. 5, page 394.

When he prophesied that it would be in a few years, what do you think he meant?

What do you think of this?

""The believing man or woman upon whom there is the responsibility of daughters and he or she discharges it well and treats them with affection, the daughters will become a means of freedom, for him or her, in the hereafter.

It is related by Anas (R.A.) that the Prophet (S.A.W.) said "The believer who bears the responsibility of two daughters and supports them till they attain puberty, he and I will be close to one another like this on the Day of Judgement." Anas (R.A.), adds that the Prophet (S.A.W.) showed, by joining the fingers of his hand, that as the fingers were close to one another, in the same way will the believer be close to him on the Day of Judgement.

Why is it that some people say they are christians but act different towards their own family? My hubby's brother and his wife and 4 kids all go to church on wed's and sunday's morn and night and anything else that is going on.My husband and I used to go to church but since he works third shift and has to sleep on sun. to go to work we don't any more we still believe in god and pray but we also like to go out to the bar and do what we want. and his family act different when they are around church folks but when it comes to us it's all different when we offer to help watch the kids in a bind they would rather take the kids to the pastor and his wife to watch.When there is get togethers with people from their church and with my hubby's parents and neighbors,we see people we used to know from another church we used to go to and you try to talk to them and they just head to his brothers family like you aren't even there now. Nothing against all christians I know everyone isn't like that.

quoted most of the Bible verses claiming the world is flat and centre of the universe in the last question, so I hope noone will repeat the same inane arguments. The Bible is just totally useless because it was written by uneducated men, who were more interested in the subjugation of women than anything else.

Science just says here is what happened and how it works. Here are the studies and tests and all the information that exists.

Religion says here is what happened and how it works. But do not present evidence or tests or studies.

When science contradicts religion the only option religion has is to attack that specific science. This is why not a single religious person ever attacks gravity or Quantum Theory.

So why do people see it as a battle? It's fact versus conjecture.

Genesis
1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
(By this point God divided light from darkness)

1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
(By now God has created light, which he called DAY)

1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
(Oddly, God AGAIN divides light from darkness?)
(By this point God created the stars)

1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

I just stumbled upon it. The man who made this webpage is interested in a "bridge" between Catholics and Evangelicals. This website truly appears to be built with love, and I thought some of you might find it interesting.

After giving it a good look, would you tell me your thoughts please?

It seems dome disbelievers won't take alternative to their answers no matter how solid the evidence or open mided they claim. So I thought I would put up a proof one or two at a time ans see if you can ( with documentation disprove it all. So here is the beginning Dr James Strange( University of South Florida)has noted that after the fall of Jerusalem in Ad ( or CE) 70 priests were no longer needed in the temple so they were sent out to various places Arcahaeologists have found an Aramaic list describing the 24 "courses or families of priests and where they were relocated. One of those families were registered as being to the city of Nazareth. This was a city of apprix 60 acres with a population of about 480 people. I will be attempting to give more proofs later. Do you have the documentation to disagree or will you concede this one?

Genesis1:16 "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also."

The greater light=the sun
The lesser light=the moon

"God CREATED TWO great LIGHTS"

This verse clearly indicates that God created the moon with its own light! This cleary indicates that people in the past believed that the moon shines on its own, and to no surprise the author also thought so when he made the story up! How could christians still believe in such a fairy tale despite this glaring error??!!

Xtian: When we go to heaven we won't sin anymore.
Me: You mean there is no sin in heaven?
Xtian: Yes
Me: Satan and his angels sinned in heaven by jealousy of God
Xtian: Humans are not the same
Me: If you still sin right now why would you stop sinning in heaven?
Xtian: We will be granted a new body to replace this carnal body so we won't sin in heaven.
Me: But with free will you still can sin.
Xtian: Not with our enlightened body, and we will have God beside us, so there is no reason to sin.
Me: A perfect body with God beside you sounds just like Adam and Eve. They were perfect humans with free will, just
the way you will be in heaven, and yet they sinned.
Xtian: ....er...
Me: There will be sin in heaven because angels sinned and
the perfect body you will posses is no different from Adam and Eve's which sinned. The fact is that with free will you will have the tendency to sin, even with God beside, Like Adam had God beside. The Garden of Eden could be compared to heaven.

Do you think they should knock it off because it was not the way of the Sunnah, nor is it humane?

What do you think based on this?

""The Prophet said: 'When I stand for prayer, I intend to prolong it, but on hearing the cries of a child, I cut it short, as I dislike to trouble the child's mother.'" (Reported by Bukhari)"

Trying to honestly live your open minded and free of legalism while thinking critically about your religion?

or

Pretending to be someone else and spreading lies about her to cover your own...shortcomings?

For the record: I don't sleep around. Every time I agree with an atheist my clone/stalker/troll messages me and tells me that I must be sleeping with every atheist on R&S, assuming that it would be the only reason I would support their ideas.

I apologize for his insanity. I thought he was done but I said something today that set him off. Hopefully he's gone for now.
