I always wanted one when I was a kid. Come on, I'm allowed one really dumb question per week, right?

Is God saying murder is like stealing only it's a little bit worse because it's up there as the number one sin?

I know every congregation is different but I wanted to know the average length of a regular (friday night) service at a conservative service.

At the suggestion of Ms. Christy :) I read Richard Dawkins' article entitled Who Owns the Argument from Improbability?. Several times, actually, since it was a little difficult for me to understand since I am not a scientist, and am not pre-disposed to believing there is no god. I could use some clarification. I attempted to read the law of Thermodynamics to see how it related to evolution, but as I said I'm not a scientist so trying to comprehend it all made my head hurt :0) I hadn't heard of that before anyways so we'll leave that be. But it called the lack of intermediate fossils a falsehood... I always thought that there wasn't any as well.. can you point me in the direction of where I can read about these intermediate fossils? I have more questions about this article, but I'll start with this... Thanks!

Do you think good can come from more individuality and independent thought?

And if that was just for the Corinthian woman in his letter then 1 Corinthians itself really has no meaning. That was just for the Corinthians. You cant pick and chose...or can you?

sell your soul to the devil to achieve your dreams

because all I ever wanted was to be a top singer..But recently i've been feeling down and feeling like I woldn't make it because I asked my friends to rate my singing on a scale of 1-10 but the highest I got was a 9 (only one person said that) other than that I got on average 7-8, or 6 -7.5, but the thing is this was all I ever could have seen my self doing...And now... I don't know what to do it's like if I do that I don't really want to do anything else in my life it's like give me the ablitiy to sing or give me death that's how serious I am/was about it..But I don't know What should I do!!!!: (

Why or why not?

think that "being offended" is a valid emotion?

Or do you stop and ask yourself "Why am I so bothered by this?"

And How do you handle "offense"?

I was raised Christian as a younger kid, I would attend church, and I wore a cross necklace. But now, as a teenager.. I'm starting to question if I really believe in God. Being a Christian, I thought you weren't supposed to believe in the paranormal.. but I'm a clairvoyant. Would this make me non-Christian? Because I'm not exactly Atheist either. A little help?

(Please, don't get defensive about religions anyone..)

There's no such thing as Satan
There's no such thing as God
I heard it on a cast
that came from an iPod

But I really didn't need
someone else to tell me what to think
I put Kent Hovind on a junk mail list
That must really stink

It's funny how certain people
are out to rule the earth
they should make into a movie
starring Colin Firth

There was no Noah's Ark
There was no Jesus either
Fictional character's aren't real
Just ask Ward and June Cleaver

I hope this stupid poem
was not a waste of time
you'll have to forgive me
I drank a bit of wine


THANK YOU LAS VEGAS! GOODNIGHT!

how could the "spirits in prison", who lived during “Noah’s days”, be preached to by Christ after His death (1Pet 3:18-20) and how could the good news be "declared also to the dead" (1 Pet 4:5-6)? If the “spirits in prison” of 1Pet 3:19 refers to demonic angels, instead of the just people who died before the resurrection of Christ, then why would Jesus “preach” to demonic angels?

Predestiny indicates that he knows I am deliberately going to cause others to sin. I work at it... it is really my only goal everyday. God knowing this full well... is he not being apart of this by allowing me to continue?

I have been watching those around me and so many people are falling away from the word of God to try to believe in what they believe God should be like. Also, what they think is good and right in their eyes instead of the bible?.... Why do you think this is? I think people should fall back on the same morals that we have had as christians for years I am afraid of getting away from the bible? God put the bible here for us for a reason. Is it possible that God truly is coming back soon?

I've made a lot of mistakes - I have let others down, I have betrayed those who have tried to help me, I have hurt those that have given so much for me..

I just don't understand why any creator or anyone who loved us, would let us go through pain, torment, guilt, struggle..

Why would God want bad things to happen to good people?

How can he ask us to be perfect? Perfection doesn't exist, does it? I mean seriously - how can we be perfect and meet his expectations if we have been flawed from the start?

It is going to be hard for you all to be honest because the one you serve is the father of lies. You think youre free, but you know deep inside youre in bondage. Jesus is ready and willing to forgive you of your sins, if you ask with a contrite heart. Take a moment out of this fast pace world and think where did I really come from, how can I have such freedom and such intelligence and the capacity to think whatever I want. All freedoms individuals all over the world have. For you to emphasize people should be atheists, isn't that compelling, granted some in the Christian world may think that way but they are not really converted and are no different from you. Just meditate on it for a few days and whatever impact it makes on you, you make your choice.

and i know its because of the end times and all. but i hate to see the world just become full of more and more sin each day. do you hate it to? you cant turn on the news with something happy in it, theres most of the time a murder, war, and hate. im getting so sick of it. as the years go by, there are fewer and fewer TRUE christians out there. thats scary to me.
