I like metal music, typicaly the ol metal, Some of the bands i like have songs that say questionable things, like a song that is called the god that failed...... not about god or jesus, and there are others that are satanist.... it creeps me out, i want to know if i should immediantly stop listening to the bands

other then for heaven.....


or do you walk like the children of Allah, or the hindu gods. You pray to them, you *think* you recive, and you really just did it by your self thanking God for what you did saying he did it. Giving prase to a statue that really does nothing.

my faith is not weak, I am just a curious one. What is it you need God for in your life that you can not do your self, and you will die if you do not recieve?

Life is not just being in a world that consists of a few dimensions and judged by elapsed time in passing through the here and now. Life has literally trillions to the power of google dimensions because you me and everything that lives, cares for themselves, where the one’s in power, are callous towards almost everyone of those different dimensions, except for their own that is, so what’s the difference between murder and killing?

How do you do it? When everyone around you is trying to console you telling you they're in a better place when you know they are not. If i had just lost someone only for the people around me to be telling me that god will take care of everything, i would go insane. In my heart I hate the facts of what I believe but I would rather have it and hate it than not accept it and live a life of a dream world lie. So how do you cope when others find it so easy by knowing god is in their life?

I earlier asked u Christians to justify these two verses, and the best they could say was that it was a typo O_o. How hilarious indeed. If it is a typo, why isn't it corrected? And are you going to say that all the internal contradictions in the bible are typos?

Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign.
- 2 Kings 8:26

Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign.
- 2 Chronicles 22:2

Is these two following verses typos too?

... God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.
- James 1:13

And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt
Abraham.
- Genesis 22:1
( I guess Abraham wasn't a man, maybe a *** ROFLOL ;D )

mainstream christians dont do it but some groups such as CHRISTADELPHIANS and 7TH DAY ADVENTISTS women cover their heads in church and when i questioned them about it they tell me that it comes from CORINTHIANS where apostle paul wanted women to cover up in church.

but its not a teaching of jesus, but comes from paul

now when i did some studies about paul's background i found out that he originally came from a very conservative jewish sect and incorpoated some practices into christianity

when it comes to women covering up and been silent in church, i feel its all to do with pauls culture and nothing to do with the teachings of christ

could i be right on this friends?

Why do so many (I'm going to say most) say that we should free god because he made us and can do whatever he wants with us. But are against abortion? Should parents be able to do whatever they want with the kids they create?

And don't use the "god made the children" copout. Those people use there free will to create there children and interfering with free will is against your god's rules.

I recently visited a Church and the pastor said, unless you are baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of Speaking in Tongues, then your prayers are worthless since they have no power behind them.

I almost came out of my chair.

What about the 'sinners' prayer????

sure, god is loving and all that, but also look:
he gets jealous
he gets fussy
he sends people to hell
he punishes
he forbids perfectly natural things
He wants you to FEAR him

Why worship a god that just seems like an abusive spouse?

I've had good success with novice Bible Readers by starting them off with Job and Mark. I feel those two clearly answer a lot of questions that novices have. Do you have any particular Books you recommend for novices?

It seems to me that whenever I talk to Christians, they have no doubts that God is real. Take my brother for example. He is entirely confident of God's existence, and even if there was hard evidence against it, he would still believe. Personally, I find that close-minded. I THINK that God is real, and I'm almost sure, but I don't want to completely rule out other possibilities. Does that make me non-Christian or immoral?

...left us first-hand accounts of his knowledge of Christ?

For example:
John had THIS to say:
"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have SEEN with our eyes, which we have LOOKED upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
(For the life was manifested, and we have SEEN it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
That which WE HAVE SEEN AND HEARD DECLARE WE UNTO YOU, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."
I John 1:1-5
Is that wonderful or what?

Are there any towns/states/places in America that burn BIBLES, kinda like certain cities that burn Harry Potter books.

First, I would like serious, and NOT insulting answers please. Second, I am a conservative Christian. I was brought up with adult baptism (and personally still agree with it, after studying all Biblical references.... baptism always happened after conversion). However, I have married into Lutheranism, which I don't mind in itself, except for when we have children and they are to be baptized as infants. Also, since baptism is not the way to Heaven, should I even be concerned with it, or should I just let it go???
