As a virtual society, where is this place headed? Will the different factions eventually tire of convincing each other? Or will the same questions be posted over and over again till I type a similar question 20 years from now?

I know some of you will say, um because he didn't. But really the theory that "Jesus never exsisted." is realatively new. I first came across this claim about 6 years ago when I was 18. I have read various scholarrly essays and papers that claim he never exsisted.

Since 6 years ago the popularity of this claim seems to be rising. BTW, I know this has been a "claim" for a long time its popularity is more recent however.

So the reason? Because they realize if they admit that Jesus of Nazareth in fact exsisted, then the most logical and ratonal conclusion to the identity of Jesus is that He is the Son of God. Since they can not accept that they simply claim he did not exsist despite the evidence to the contrary.

The VAST majority of historical scholars believe that Jesus of Nazareth exsisted.

As a psychotherapist, I know what the clinical definition of homosexuality is a person who is attracted sexually, emotionally to their own gender INSTEAD of the opposite gender.. They are put simply the polar OPPOSITE of heterosexual. Homosexuality, heterosexuality and bisexuality are sexual orientations that exist along a continum. They can usually manifest as early as pre-puberty ( I know MANY of us have met children and just KNEW) and is not a conscious CHOICE.

Homosexuality is not a BEHAVIOR just like heterosexuality is not a behavior. It is not the SEXUAL ACT that makes you gay or straight. There are homosexuals who are virgins but identify as gay. Now this is what vast majority of professionals in my field who rely on UNBIASED, objective research over the 70+ years on the subject know as facts.

However, I see repeatedly on R&S certain Christians expressing a view contrary to medical research. You describe homosexuality as a behavior, addiction or habit.

Trivia?

How many children did Adam and Eve have? What were their names?

What was the name of Abraham's SECOND wife?

When Jacob and Esau were in their mother's womb (they were twins), they kicked a lot and the mother asked why they fought so much inside her ( for that is what it felt like) what did God say about this?

Yeah, I didn't think so either. It’s an outlandish statement.

From just this morning, I can think of two particular questions that made that direct accusation. It's about as respectable as when Christians claim that all atheists secretly think God exists but just won't admit it.

Why must we project our own thoughts and beliefs on others? Is it that hard to accept someone coming from a different viewpoint, that we assume they must just be lying about what they believe?

what should I expect? Should I come in casual clothes, dress up, or what? Do they perform any certain religious acts (lighting a candle, praying, or what?)? If everyone comes from different spiritual backgrounds, what kind of teachings do they do? Thank you all for your help. And please don't respond if you have no knowledge of this. Thanks! *hugs*

It's not until puberty that we start liking the opposite sex. Doesn't that hint that sexual orientation is a biological condition and not a conscious choice?

I am an Atheist.
I dreamt that a very bright light came to me into my dreams and with a very exquisite voice he told me "Search for the Truth".
What does he mean? I woke up frightened.
What should I do?
Do you believe me or no? why and why not?

When the notion of self as physical loses it's hold and you realize your energy is constantly flowing outwards and a new horizon comes into view, now how do you direct yourself, the energy that you are?


Intent is most excellent as is action but is there a third piece of the key?

Then the Lord said to Moses, "See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts-to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship. - Exodus 31:1-5

Bezalel was called by God to perform a most important work for Him. I am sure that Bezalel believed that he was naturally gifted with his hands to make fine crafts with gold, silver, and bronze. He probably did not associate it with God's work. But the Scripture tells us that God chose him and filled him with God's Spirit to enable him.

I just moved into this town and I don’t have any family here or met any friends here yet. I’ve been going to church a lot lately and my kids want to go through their sacraments, my oldest is almost 13 and has been asking about it a lot. Since I don’t know anyone here to fulfill the role as God parents, what should I do? Does it matter that I don’t have anyone? Can they still be baptized?

now we know its not a choice one makes. (if you think otherwise, please explain to me when and how you made the choice to be heterosexual)

and u cant change who you are or how you were made. so when god punishes homosexuals, isnt he really punishing them because he made them that way? isnt that a bit unfair?

Dear God:
I know that I'm a sinner. I deserve Hell. But You sent Jesus to die for my sins. I believe that He died and rose again. I ask you now to forgive my sins, once an for all. I now receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Personal Saviour. Please come into my heart and save me, Help me to know I am saved and live for You, the rest of my life. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.

God's Plan of Salvation

The Bible says there is only one way to Heaven
Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me." (John 14:6)

Good works cannot save you.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Trust Jesus Christ today! Here's what you must do:
Admit you are a sinner.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23)

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Romans 5:12)

"If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." (1 John 1:10)

Be willing to turn from sin (repent).
Jesus said: "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke 13:5)
