this issue really concerns me. It seems that both sides present verses that are completely valid, but neither of them explains how the verses that support the opposing view point work into their view. is there any thing out there that explains all that more clearly?

I think the entire debate hinges on whether man is totally depraved

1. Observe the sabbath day and keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you.
2. Thou shall not commit Adultry
3. Thou shall not kill
4. thou shall not warship false idols including my own.
5. For six days you shall labour and do all your work.
Why is it easy for nonchristians to follow these rules when christians cannot?

... of evolution because of arguments of the quality of 'if humans evolved from apes, why are there still apes?'. how can this be? is there something terribly difficult to grasp about the branching pattern of evolution?

My church recently had a vote on whether we should be required to attend mass on holy days. They said this was the newest holy day. How can an infallible pope change something like this from a previous infallible pope?

Is masturbation sinful? I tried it several times and I found it very pleasurable and euphoric. It helped me go through bouts of depression since I have low self-esteem.

I don't get it, people accept gay/ lesbian/ bi with no problems so why not incest? I don't see the difference between them honestly. Usually when someone mentions incest, people say it's sick but why?

Jews and muslims worship the God of the Old Testament, who was worshipped out of Fear, and known for His wrath and fury.
Christians worship God out of Love, the NT, whichJesus taught.
Did God have a personality change or are they different gods?
so, do jews + muslims worship him out of fear?

Okay, so I don't get it. I heard a lot about how Jews did WTC. And it's really convincing. All the big people involved with WTC were Zionist Jews.

But I wonder, why do all the Jews lie to us and say they're peaceful and don't want to hurt anyone? We all know that the Torah says its law to murder people, even children when they disobey you. Why are the Jews like this!? Why can't they admit that they did WTC and finally give us truth?

Atheism has become more prevelant, but they are still a HUGE minority in America. They are less than 10 percent of the population.

Atheism will fall because science can only tell us so much. I believe the end is near and as the world becomes a much more dangerous place, we will fall back on religion for comfort and go with God.

Just wondering if any church leaders have said anything, or if there is any doctrine the LDS church has about whether they believe Mary Magdalene was married to Jesus. Thanks!

i have a friend, we arent that close but i have known her for many years

recently, she told me she was bisexual

she has been 'going out' with another girl
they walk around holding hands, hug alot, that sort of stuff
sometimes near me

nothing rude or obscene or anything!!

Many Christians believe that being homosexual is wrong and that homosexuals are mortal sinners and we should not affiliate with them etc. etc.

however, i do not want to discriminate against my friend and her 'girlfriend'

i treat her the same, but it does bother me

i cant change who she is and whats she wants to do. its her life.

i would like to accept my friend for who she is

has anyone been in this situation before and can help me out?

comments appreciated

if you hate homosexuals, please dont answer
im not a gay basher and never will be!

God bless and thankyou!

It was actually probably the first thing that came out of his mouth when he started his ministry. He went on the street and said 'repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.' You can read about this man in the bible at the beginning of the book of Matthew and Mark. Obviously that's not all he said - he had a lot of love to offer and forgiveness etc. The point is would you be embarrassed when he challenged people or agreeing with him.
