Okay so what about BEFORE Jesus....

before anyone knew he existed (b/c he wasn't born yet, assuming he really did exist of course)

so all these people before Christianity are in Hell now because they didn't accept Jesus?

I mean, if he wasn't even around yet.....that doesn't make any sense. Not to mention he wasn't even around for when Christianity was invented (already dead) therefore, wouldn't his mom be in hell too? B/c i doubt she accepted him as a God or whatever.

What do you think about the charismatic gifts debate today? "Are the sign gifts present today? Why or why not?"

Is the question "Why won't God heal amputees" a drinking question? If not, can we make it one?

I had a dream a few months ago that the devil raped me. I got over that a few weeks later. Then last week I had a dream that I was taking a bath and trying to relax. But then the lights started blinking and the tap went crazy. And when I looked up, the devil was standing and saying "I want to make you the mother of my son" And he grabbed my arms and try to rape me. And in the dream I started screaming b/c I was terrified of how he looked and his actions. I woke up then and I was so scared that I couldnt go back to sleep.
I didnt tell about this to my bf..and when we had an argument the other day he was like "why the hell are you acting as if you are poessessed by the devil or something?!" and that really hurt and freaked me out.
Am I dreaming this b/c I am stressed out a lot lately due to family issues? I am so confused and hurt. :(

Can you give specific instances where you would not, as well as specific examples where you would just merrily say "Sir, yes sir" and execute the command from the "higher" man, like a well trained Marine?

Here are a few scenarios I'd like your input on: Let's call it, "Submit, or not Submit?"

*He wants to "do it" at 3am, and you have a sinus infection, 100.3 degree temperature, and body aches. He knows this.

*He wants you to use your day off watching the kids so he can go bowl with friends. You had plans to go to the spa. He had off for two days last week and went bowling.

*You want to go play cards with some girlfriends and hang out. He says NO. No reason why. But he plays poker every weekend with his friends.

*You get offered a great position at a local college. He says NO because you will be making way more money than he will, as "teh head of teh household".

*He wants salmon, but you want chicken. You hate salmon. He likes them both.

I dont believe in god, im going to start off by saying that, I believe in the theory of evolution considering there is alot more backing evolution, than the magic man in the sky theory. Everything that people consider proof of god, is all hearsay the only thing backing it is a supposed holy book, that quite frankly could have been written by me for all you know (it wasnt ofcourse because im not delusional). I want you to really think about this, suppose you find out tomorrow that your time has come and soon you will be laying in a wooden box rotting away. What if there was some way to know just b4 you died that there is no heaven, that once you die, there is no soul within you, that you are simply erased out of existance.... how would you feel? Would you be proud that you spent your entire life following rules and regulations that simply did not matter? I think you only get one little piece of time, do you really want to spend it playing a grown up version of makebelieve?

They spurn any outsiders who believe differently to them.
They believe theirs is the only true way.
They have a rule which says that 2 people must witness something for it to be considered true (like abuse).
If you leave, they ostracise you.
That is a cult, is it not?

1) What is the cause for the belief that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are separate?

2) Is your soul, image, and spirit seperate?

People claim God healed them of all kinds of things--cancer, MS, anorexia, lots of stuff. But God just does not seem to be able to pull off restoring an amputated limb. Why is that???

Jehovahs witnesses won't accept blood transfusions and would let their kids die rather than let them have one.
But they don't realise that our bodies renew the blood. We don't have the same blood in us all the time. So, a transfusion may be someone elses blood to begin with, but once the body begins renewing it, it becomes the body's blood.
Also, if we're all made from dust, what difference does it make who's blood we have? It's all the same anyway. We're all made of the same.
Explain...

I am creating a Bible reading program and journal, and when I was done, I wanted to get it published, and I'm not sure how to get it to someone who can help me get it out into the public's hands.
Thanks and God Bless!

Probably doesn't belong here but lots of questions here don't really belong here either.

Since I have got to recognize a lot of the folks out here I was just curious and I figure no should fight over this.

Me I am 34 and have girls 18 and 13 a 3 year old son and a 1 year old grandaughter. As well I have a 17 year old foster daughter/family friend staying with us 3 years now, and another that was with us for 6 months.

What about you?

Would it really be doing good if there was no alternative?

Is this, perhaps, the reason for satan/lucifer/hades/whatever you wish to call it?

For Christians, if you knew there was no God, would you still do the right thing?

[Perhaps this is a reason we should respect atheists that do the right thing anyway??]

For Non-Christians, why do you choose to do the "right" thing, without the fear of punishment?

This is not intended to be an anti-Christian vs. Christian argument, and I am not trying to demean either. I am honestly curious. Please don't take offense!

I was in prayer with a group of ladies and one of them put their hands of prayer on me and instead of falling backwards, I fell forward and I could see spirits coming out of my body. does anyone know what this means?

When I say highly Christian, I mean they go to church 3 times a week, go to several Christian camps, and make rude and sarcastic remarks about other religions.

So, advice please, on how I can break it to them that I'm atheist?

I always wonder what are the reasons why people claim not to believe in God? where did humans come from if not created by God? How did earth come about? why does the quran which is thousands of years old describe the stages of a baby in its mothers whome and how stars are formed and much more if theres no God?..theres no way that people from prophet mohammads time knew that...it was God that taught them! so why dont people beleive in God in general?

This question is completely serious- I really have always been curious:
What makes you feel your "walk with Jesus" is not religious?

You read the same book as other Christians.

Your church has a male leader: Jesus

You follow pretty much the same rules as each other

Most of you go to church

These are all qualifications for religion. If you call yourself a Christian how can you say you are not part of the Christian religion? Obviously people go about their practice differently, but do you see what I mean? Honestly it sounds to outsider like you just consider your path better than other Christians.

Is there a real reason for these claims?

He's making his list, checking it twice, and he's going to find out who's naughty or nice. They say he sees you when you are sleeping, and that he knows when you are awake. He knows when you are bad or good, so be good for goodness' sake.

Now, according to the Bible, God also has a list and is going to judge people. He knows the wheat from the chaff, and He watches over us when we sleep and are awake. And he wants me to be good, for goodness' sake.

God and Santa seem to want the same thing. Could they be the same? I asked God to be with the suffering, but they still suffered. I asked God to lead me not into temptation and then got tempted all the time. Jesus said whatever I asked for in his name would be granted, but I don't remember that ever happening, especially when I asked for all child abuse to end.

God wants what Santa wants, and God answers prayer no better than Santa. There is as much proof for God as there is for Santa. Maybe believing in either is stupid.
