It costs over £1200 (for a liftetime's use). For that you get 4 two-hour training sessions and a review after three months. For the sake of argument, let's say the review is worth two hours. That's ten hours, or roughly £120 per hour.......paid by each person in the group.

How can that be justified? If there were six in the group (as in the example sent to me), that's £720 per hour.

Judaism teaches that Hashem is continually creating all things and circumstances. I should have nothing to worry about. Hah! How can I increase my ability to trust Him that things will work out, especially when they are not going the way I want them to?

What did you do with it when you stopped ascribing to your parents' views?

I lost mine in high school art class when we were doing paper mache, must have slipped off my finger. I took it as a sign from God.

Some historians of secular academia have suggested he was. (didn't believe in the trinity or divinity of Christ). But what real proof is there of this. Show me some if you know of any.
Newton: "Christ is called the righteous (1 Iohn 2.1 ) & by his righteousness we are saved (Rom. 3.25. & 5.18 1 Cor. 1.30) & except our righteousness exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees we shall not enter into the kingdome of heaven. (Mat. 5.20.) Righteousness is the religion of the kingdom of heaven (2 Pet. 3. 13 Isa 60 21) & even the property of God himself" Newton says plainly, "Christ is called righteous, which is a property of God,
we obtain that righteousness through faith in Christ. "by his (Christ) righteousness we are saved". This is a direct indication of his belief in Jesus Christ being the same as God!

I am posting this in hope that some people will think about what they are doing.....

I am not a Christian , but am aware that Christians believe that people will know a good Christian by their fruits

personally , I have the utmost respect for Christians who speak gently to people , not trying to persuade them or convert them ... not threatning them
it is these people who show the love that Christianity holds
and it is these people without even trying, that may draw others to Christianity
they walk the walk ... and speak in whispers when they talk the talk

then we have the burn in hell types
and as an outsider to Christianity , I can tell you that your preaching and your threats seriously turn me away
I dont want to listen when you yell..... people get headaches that way
and when you shout ... you loose your voice , you dont get heard

now as I said , this is my personal opinion
but I am hoping to hear others views on this

I am not trying to pick on mormons but I am doing some reading about them and things confuse me. Do you believe we have to accept Joseph Smith to enter Heaven? Or is accepting Christ enough?

"No man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith...every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are... [Joseph Smith] reigns there as supreme a being in his sphere, capacity, and calling, as God does in heaven. Many will exclaim—"Oh, that is very disagreeable! It is preposterous! We cannot bear the thought!" But it is true."
- The Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 7, p.289-91

I am a pentecostal Christian and do not desire to be a mormon. Just trying to understand what they believe.

For example the Abrahamic scriptures say that the world was created in 7 days, but we now know it took billions or years and the followers say it is just a metaphore to illustrate that a supernatural being created the earth.
How do they know that statements such as that are metaphors and not just lies written by men to control other men?

I'm a christian. At least as far as what I believe goes. Now, living by the bible is a different story. I'm trying really hard to stop sinning, because in the way I am, it's very, very wrong. My problem is, I'm female...and I'm attracted to other females. I often fantasize about them, and I've dated a couple. I've been doing my best to push and thoughts to the back of my mind, trying to keep them away. I want to be completely straight. It seems like it's been getting better, but it still doesn't help that I'm turned on whenever I see a girl I think is gorgeous. Help! I don't want these thoughts in my head anymore...

It is described in the Bible so many times. I never believed it at first but then I actually started reading my Bible. I saw a documentary about it on the History Channel. They even had Catholic Priests on there that believed in it. I don't get why Churches shun the belief if it is scriptual. What did they have to lose if they taught it? Now everyone is against it so it will never be a widespread Christian belief.

2007-09-04 08:50:04 · 9 answers · asked by slopoke6968 7

I'm not trying to offend, just curious.
How do you (Catholics) justify the following:

1.The Pope - Why is he the holy father? Isn't God the holy father? What makes an elected official holier than anybody else and why is he allowed to change the rules?

2.Confession Booths - When Jesus tore down the curtain, wasn't that so we can all talk to God? Why do we need a priest as a medium if we can all talk to God?

3.Virgin Mary - Why isn't praying to Mary the same thing as idolatry? Mary isn't God. Also, why do Catholics say Mary is with God in Heaven and everybody else is in purgatory? That's not scriptual.

4.Rosary beads. What's the deal with those? They aren't scriptual.

Thanks for the honest answers.
