1 Corinthians 13
Love
1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails.

Yes, I did ask this once before, but I'm hoping to get new answers.

religion as well. What are some of the more familiar terms that you are aware of used by Christians? And do you have a clear understanding of the meanings of these phrases used?

Now most people don't like the idea of making cash payments to descendants of slaves as reperations for slavery, yet isn't the concept of "orginal sin" the same idea?

When you need to read, sure... but in of itself, light is neither good nor bad. You can't assign morality to photons.

Obviously these lifeforms were before Noah's flood and the earth like a green house. Revelation 21 says the recreated Earth will have NO oceans:

Revelation 21:1 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was NO MORE SEA."

If your a good person and do something a little mean to someone, will you get bad karma? How much good in the world do you have to do to get good karma in return? Or is it on a case by case basis?

Please don't reply with any answers like "God exists in the mind", or with a question like "Can you prove he doesn't exist?"

I'd like some hard evidence that he exists, and only then would I believe in him.

Clearly, the need for such a name is related to the debate evolution/creation. Since this is obviously an important debate, it is convenient to have a name for the supporters of the theory of evolution. We want a practical name, something simpler than "supporters of the evolution theory". No? Someone suggested "evolutionary biologists", but that is for those biologists who actively study the subject, not for all the supporters of the theory. What else?

Are all supporters of the evolution theory scientists? Are all scientists (professors in a scientific department or researchers in a scientific institution) supporters of the evolution theory? If any of these two questions have a negative answer, then there is a problem in referring to all these supporters as "scientists".

seriously, shouldn't you be at church, temple, or the synagogue right now giving praise, in stead of arguing with atheists and believers of other faiths who disagree with you?

I read a bible scripture where Jesus told the diciples that they would not have a wife in heaven. This has bothered me lately because I love my wife very much, I feel God sent her to me and I hope to spend eternity with her. Can someone show me in the Word where this is promised to me in heaven ( to know my loved ones? )

14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

For two weeks in a row I've missed church, I've looked on answers to see what people say about it.

Everyone was sick last week and the church clothes didn't get washed because everyone wasn't feeling well, but I think we could have still made it, but didn't. And last night my kid kept me up all night because she had a bad nightmare and was scared to go back to sleep, she decided to sleep in my bed after that and was kicking me all night. I didn't wake up in time, I slept right through the alarm.

I looked at one post that said missing church is this huge sin, mortal sin and hell fire type of stuff and I read another post saying Christians can still be good Christians with out church.

So now I'm completely confused. Will God be angry at me for missing yet another day of Church? Can't I go to confession next week?

I read the Mass for today online, I know it's not exactly the same thing....will I be forgiven?

Then everything we are, God is.

So, having said that, being skeptical is in Gods image. Following blindly is considered a bad thing.

For instance, following Nazism is bad. Being skeptical and asking questions saves one from such a bad following. Why would we question that and not other things? Being a skeptic never ends, whether it's God, Nazism, or 1+1=3. It's how we learn.

After all, are we not in Gods image according to the Bible followers?

Or, is this where we bend logic and stop it and use whats convenient to support our beliefs? It's like stopping a ray of light. If the logic of being skeptical should not be used to question God, why should it ever be used? We are of Gods image.
