i think its the only city described in the scriptures that come down from heaven. New Jerusalem. however, I also believe that new jerusalem was taken in the days of enoch, when it was called zion and the city of enoch.

I'd like to think fluffy clouds, angel wings, and a little harp. Too bad Elvis isn't there. I'd like to talk to him about a few things.

I do. Without them with their holy light, we would all die. They are all Gods and they made us. To repend my sins, I offer the life of a worm so that we may be saved for at least one mouth.

I am just curious because I know children who desire older woman. When I was 6 or 7 I had one heck of a sexual crush on my teacher, and some cusins. And I see alot of children sexualy minded. I am just curious because I can not see Jesus giving children the desire for the flesh. I was never taught growing up to deisre the opposite sex is wrong, that you should search God for the way he created a man to desire a woman. SO your eyes desire only one woman. Lots of christians say God put the desire on the bodys of lots of woman and invole children, in his breeding ways so we can multiply the earth, and Jesus calls it good, as long as you are married.

I am just curious if Sex is a sin, or does Jesus love the little children?

I can see Jesus now to a 7 yr old boy when he places the knowlage in the boys mind, this womans breasts are hot arn't they? nice legs? Bread my children, for you are in your learning stages. This is how you love, just get to know her..... for I am holy....

Just curious as to how others came across paganism? Here's my own little story. Even as a child being raised Christian...it never felt right (I was always in trouble in sunday school for asking the wrong questions). In college..."Wicca" kept crossing my path. I ignored it because it involved "Witch's" and I saw my share of movies (LOL). In the army after college, I made friends with a guy who ended up being a Wiccan Priest. Again...held on to the past even if it had never felt right. It "wicca/paganism" kept crossing my path...and I would ignore it. Then one week several years ago...I had some VERY VERY life-like dreams about dragons. I had always been facinated by dragons and fantasy novels but the dreams were "VERY" intense. I started really looking into dragons. I came across Dancing with Dragons by DJ Conway...the rest is history. My beliefs have taken their own route but the best way to sum them up is to say "I'm pagan". Just curious of others stories

it is risky to get close to your victim, will shoot from a distance.
Pretending that guns don't kill is a silly public relations ploy to try to justify people owning guns. No intelligent man or woman would fall for such an obvious attempt to distort the facts with an emotional trick of phrasing. Do you agree, to make a question out of it? Of course most of you don't because you want to feel like a big man with your big masculine gun. Sorry to leave you ladies out of this, maybe another time.

I have been using answers to answer honest questions since they offered the membership. Suddenly they started deleting God's name Found in the old King James Bible at Psalms 83;18 and other places.
Yes I know there are many translations for the Holy name, but you can find it in the Gideon bible, American standard, and many other places.

Ideas?

Someone recently told me that a Real Christian or a real Believer in God would never Have a debate with anyone about God / Christianity.

'I do not listen to the debates of people that don't serve God.
It doesnt matter what religion they claim to be.
Muslim . Christian , Shinto , Budhist , It doesn't matter.

1 Timothy 6:4.5 clearly says about such debates or discussions.
''he is puffed up with pride, not understanding anything, but being mentally diseased over questionings and debates about words. From these things spring envy , strife, abusive speeches , wicked suspicions , violent disputes about trifles on the part of men corrupted in the mind and despoiling the truth---''

So these debates that are not based on Gods word the Holy Bible are pointless and will not lead to a clearer understanding about the will of God.'

Christians, is it true that you are not allowed to have Debates about God ?

Is the fate of their soul any different from yours?

What about truly good people of other faiths? If they have followed the teachings of their faith, will they have eternal salvation?

And what about those who die at a very young age, or for some reason having never been exposed to the Gospel message? Do they get some sort of special treatment from God?

I always hear Christians say that there is historical evidence for Jesus.
Ok..... So let`s have it. What historical evidence proves that the mythological figure we call Jesus - is not a myth and a man after all?

Is raising any doubt bashing? Is there no room for discussion when the THEOLOGY is in question, not the BELIEVERS' sanity or intelligence?

Some people thrive on a meat diet, and could not live on a purely vegan diet. At least 3 that I've encountered in my previous work must be very careful about most food plants.

Am I allowed to drink during this day?

I want to convince my mother to let me observe this day, but because we are Christians she said we don't have to, and she also feels that I may fall ill, since this would be my first time without food for so long.

And in additon, I know this isn't just a play holiday, it's a very important one, and I plan to take it very seriously, I choose the word try for lack of a better word. So I apologize.

So would drinking water and tea and such be alrite for this day? I'm hoping that would convince her....


Thank you so much!

God wants you to know that telling someone they are going to hell for any reason whatsoever is wrong. God wants you to know that the Old Testament was written by many many people and they were using the same divine inspiration as I am right now. God wants you to know that he doesn't want to be worshipped. God wants you to stop killing each other in the name of God. God wants you to know that The New Testament was written by people that had not wittnessed the miricles of Jesus and did not know if he was a real person or not. God wants you to explore the scientific world without using words supposedly written about God as a hinderance of the scientific process. God wants you to be kind to everyone. God wants you to stop destroying the planet we live on along with over a trillion other species of plant, animal, insect, and bacteria. God wants you to help those in need. God wants you to have good moral character not because of God but because of your conscience. Tell me what else God wants

Here is a simple statement of my beliefs:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell. [See Calvin]
The third day He arose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy *catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.
_________________________________________

Now.. I also believe that the Genesis story is basically an allegory. I believe that the theories put fourth by modern science describe God's handiwork.
I'm pro-Life. Pro-Gay Marriage. Anti-Death Penalty.

Would you call me a Christian?
