See Batgirl's answer to this question.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070901191333AAusFzG&r=w&pa=FZptHWf.BGRX3OFMiTxTWfProwHMBOCnpH7VD14zPzENCOTcv_H4vG9RwY5W93LY7.Z4bjTkO1.vUxrGKg--&paid=answered#RcYqWja.VjXXdYcDfd_E1vDV75geJ2Pl1stX7HpkrpQaTQOqRSql

The questioner asks if unconditional love is possible, or even if it is comprehensible.

Batgirl's reply states that God loves us unconditionally.

I may be wrong, but isn't "Belive in me or else," a condition to earning his love and acceptance?

Not picking on you, Batgirl, but I am seeking to clarify.

Christians, suppose you're sitting at home reading the bible and the voice of God says, in your head, that you must kill your first born child in order to prove your faith.

Now, suppose you heard on the news that a man killed his wife and children because "God told him to." Do you believe it?

Now, let's take it a step further. Let's say that your neighbor hears from God, and God tells your neighbor to kill you and your family in order to prove his faith. When your neighbor bursts through your door with a shotgun telling you he's sorry, but the Lord has spoken and you all must die, do you go willingly, or do you try to get away? Do you just accept that your neighbor says that God said you must die, or do you need proof?

I'm not saying that your neighbor is going to kill you, I'm asking how do you determine whether or not something that is said about God is true? Do you just believe it all, or do you need proof?

Oh yes and what does a rose quartz represent? By the way I can't have something that obviously has something to do with witchcraft. My family is Christian so I have to keep everything secret. Just to show how extreme they are they think my uncle is possesed.

I have noticed that most non Muslims have a wrong ideas about prophet Muhammad which include:
- Prophet Muhammad wrote God's Revelations with his own hand. Here is a proof that this is not true..
http://submission.org/mu-wrote.html
- Claim of Muhammad's illiteracy - another look
This is also not true, here is the proof
http://www.submission.org/illiteracy.html
- Prophet Muhammad's marriage to Aisha
This the biggest lie please read this

Please be polite in your response.
Thank you..

If I, all by myself (as in no one else but me), was obliterated by 10,000+ armed soldiers. Basically, a small army.






And i only used a knife.





A really big one ;).




Would you not believe in God then? Cause i'd probably would not need His help to do that.



So, to whoever reads this (if you do believe in Him that is), for any reason i do pull this off, would you believe God does not exist?




And i can gaurentee you'd hear about it.



The whole world would.

I just said a prayer to Jesus and this is what I said

Dear Jesus,
If I ever promised something on the holy spirt or promised you something, I'm very suppor sorry, but I'm going to have to take that back because I don't want to promise you something that might not happen maybe later on in life it will, but I don't think it is right now, but I still want to keep me spirt saved and my others, and I will say that I will try to follow your commandments on the list to have my other lifetimes saved and when I sin I want you to forgive me and help me to not sin again and please don't take it the wronge way, oh eya and pleasegive my sins now
ok?
Thank you,
Amen.

or I said something like that. He'll understand right? I'm sure he will. What's your opinion?

Looking around at the state of our world today, and all the suffering humans endure, would you agree that if God does exist, then He most certainly is an evil God?

Little Lamb:

Watch out Louis, don't mention them to be liar's or they will plaster your answer all over R&S. Be careful with Pedi C; she's devious and a manipulator. I'm not judging her, that's how she portrays herself. Don't worry Unsilenced Lamb is more polite. Don't call her names and she's O.K. You know respect for respect. You are right though, they are Anti-Jehovah Witnesses. Some of the Ex's got grudges and a whole lot of issues! If I dare again in the future defend them, I will be persecuted like a bad child. Ha, ha, ha.

I like the JW's!

A very penetrating thinker has observed, "When you hear anyone say 'Away with creeds,' you know that what he really means is 'take mine.'" Everyone has a creed. There is not a single exception. And we live according to what we really believe. How foolish then the prejudice against doctrine. Much of it is based upon ignorance.

Why can’t JW get a blood transfusion even to save their life? I think God would forgive them for getting one and I think god appreciates people who donations blood to help save lives. I have heard of many stories where parents let their kids die or a family member die because they wont sign saying that they can have a blood transfusion, I don’t get how someone can live knowing that they let their kid die and could have saved them, Why I don’t get how some ones love could be more for god then their own kids. My brother married a JW she though does not act as one she does not follow any of the rules but she calls her self a JW and for my brother to marry her he had to convert to a JW. And now he has and the girl my brother married is a huge JW family very strict and now it seems he is more of a JW then the girl he married and it has been bothering me the whole Blood transfusion thing because anything could happen and I’m scared what if he needs one will he say yes or no *I know his wife will say yes because like I said she likes to call her self a JW but doesn’t act like one I’m sure the only reason she hasn’t gotten kicked out is because her dad runs most of it* but anyways I asked him if he would get one and he said NO and the funny thing is my mom had to get a Blood Transfusion before he was born so that means if she was a JW most likely would have died so how can my brother now be a hypocrite of that? I just don’t get it! I think god has forgiven my mother for getting one and I know many other jw that have had blood transfusions like the big singer Selena she got a blood transfusion and she was JW. I don’t really know what I’m asking I’m just venting.

It's Father's Day here. I have been coudled, tickled, smooched and well wished. My sons gave me the James Bond series on DVD (all of them!), and my daughter made a "speak to the hand" sign for my desk in my office .... I've been weighed and measured... my 17 year old is now ever so slightly taller than me but I got 50 pounds advantage over him ~ my guns are still bigger but he is catching up!

Seriously, how can they keep that a secret?

Xenu the Space Overlord decided to depopulate his overcrowded Intergallactic Empire by sending (on spaceships that looked like DC-10's) a ton of aliens he didn't like, by freezing them and sending them to Teegeeakk (Earth) to be destroyed in volcanoes where their souls flew into the sky and were captured by soul catching machines and were then (for some reason) sent into the bodies of early humans.
In order to feel better you have to get rid of these souls. (Thetans.)
Is that about right? Did I miss anything?

If I know all about it, and I'm just some guy, how can you expect people to give you their life savings to know the Big Secret?
It was on a South Park episode!! How secret is that?

Or maybe they're making up bigger and better, sad, sci-fi mythology these days.

I read somewhere that God killed around 2,270,365 people while Satan only killed around 10people according to the Bible. Do Christians believe that God is still killing today? For example I know that there are some that believe he destroyed New Orleans. If he is not, wonder why the big change?
I'm not really talking about all of the millions that have been killed by the diseases, etc that God invented. But those that he purposely kills.
