Would you rather see your priest/pastor/vicar/bishop have two or three wives?

Or a wife and a misstress or two?

pro-choice abortion, pro-choice homosexuality, and pro-choice fornication, and that everyone should be respectable of their choice, when the bible clearly speaks against it? We are supposed to forgive those who have personally wronged us, and we are not to judge the past sins of those who have turned from sin to follow Christ. However condoning and accepting the sinful choices of those who continue to sin is a whole other issue. We as Christians are NOT supposed to support the choices of ungodly actions, we are called by God to rebuke and correct those who do wrong. The bible says in 2 Timothy 3:16 (King James Version) “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”

I'm Baptist, just to let you know. It is my understanding that what separates my views from yours is that you do not believe in the doctrine of "Once Saved, Always Saved", in other words that you could lose your salvation.

But I must ask you this: At what point would that happen? Furthermore, your view seems to imply that people could potentially move in and out of the sphere of salvation depending on what their "situation" is, like a saved person could have a very bad week where they really "mess up", what then if they die right then? Where do they stand?

It just doesn't make much sense to me, but I would like to hear your insight.

Christians only, please, I'm not trying to be disrciminatory, but if you're not serious about this, your answer won't help. Thanks

Sure, America could have not been involved with Iraq, but their problems would have existed either way. It is becaue of the stupid religious difference between the sunni and the shiites that caused that problem.

To me, religious beliefs (if a country can't handle them) need to be abolished. Poor Iraq has the biggest clash between it's citizens primarily because of religion.

Can people just set aside religion and be logical for once?

Or is this just a testing ground for what "not" to say to unbelievers? Do we Christians really think that what we say here makes a difference to those who don't believe?

For me...I just think this forum gives non-believers even more reason to try to twist things around. If we really care, let's pray for those we see who mock us. That is where the real power is.

The Bible says that the Devil is the father of liars.

Earlier on I asked a question about whether the gods that atheists have invented is an example of immoral and sinful human beings creating false idols. I got responses from people who claimed that they really believed in those gods and they described experiences they had had. But it turned out that these people were pathological liars who were later posting questions that showed the opposite of what they had said. Why do atheists keep proving everytime that atheism and immoral behavior go hand in hand?

I have read many times on this forum that we are no longer required to keep the law in order to have eternal life and yet here is what Jesus said when asked the same question...

Matthew 19:16-19 Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life? Why do you ask me about what is good? Jesus replied. There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments. Which ones? the man inquired. Jesus replied, Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.

For those who believe we are no longer under the law, can you explain Jesus response to this question?

and some may NOT care.... I just found out that these are the words from the verse that are the exact middle of the Bible.... Maybe it was just me that needed to hear these words... but, anyway...... Psalms 118:8 * It is better to trust God than to put confidence in man*.......... rememinded me that God is in the middle of it all and in control....... go in peace..... God bless

This question is for a christian, adult, women who understands teenagers and is willing to help one.

I don’t understand this whole "Christian" thing. I know it is a religion, but I don’t know what it is about. I have met a few people who are christians, and they are always so nice, never have a sour thing to say, and always seem happy. If this is what is a christian is like, happy I mean, then I want to be happy. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

When answering this question, please state your age and gender before answering. I want a girl because it is more comfortable that way, and a women because they would have more experience.

If I think it is worth it, I would like to get in contact with the woman with the best answer.

when looking at other people's belief systems which don't agree with yours, do you begin to realize some people are willing to believe anything?

I have a reason. Do you? I am sympathetic to the atheist side. I do recall having great atheist and agnostic friends while away for school. I sincerely appreciated the capacity, intricacy, and depth of thoughts generated and I sincerely despised the impulsive subjectivity that *some" did hold, which cast doubts whether the person was trustworthy! The very basis of human interaction was negated once trust of "good will" could not be established because the other person, the atheists, failed to reciprocate it! What ya think about all this? Ultimately, underneath it all, yes I do see the good qualities in all people including atheists. However, that element of mistrust remains a problem for any intimate relationship. If the bible is indeed correct not to be unequally yoked with an unbeliever, what is your (atheist) reason not to become involved on a personal level with a theist?

You are great and wonderful and beautiful and intellectual and wealthy beyond imagine and you own everything and everyone. You have won this game. Now, can you please release Mr Wilson from that Georgia prison for having sex with another minor and the Jena 6 defendant?

Would you do it if God asked you? Pretend that I AM!

I have seen many responses and can tell that there is a lot of 'belief' being argued with 'appropriate' corresponding passages.However, what people 'believe' and what the bible says are not necessarily the same thing. People will say or do anything to protect what they believe. Be honest with yourself. I am not your judge, nor would I ever want to be.

I believe in God...but I don't think he created man. I believe evolution.

Is there a religion that supports my beliefs? Just wondering...

My group was talking in science and 2 people said you can't do that, you either believe in everything about God or you don't. (Another girl also had the same beliefs as me)

One is the Jena 6 defendant.
The other is Mr Wilson, a minor, who has already served 3 years of a 10 year prison sentence in Georgia for having sex with another minor.

White men, you have got to feel this!!! Do you not have male teenagers of your own?

Join with me in gaining the freedom of those CHILDREN! Write to those leaders involved and demand the release of those boys at once.

God is speaking through me, to you. Spread the word.

Thank you.

What I have seen is wrangling over what people believe. Each side will quote passages to 'prove' a point, yet neither side is willing to sit down and honestly look at the contested source. It appears that each side just wants to win the argument.

I would like to let all you non- beleivers no that I have proof of God.

On the 1st of October 2003 I was involved in a car crash. If you look at photos of the car, the whole thing was demoloshed except for the drivers seat (where I was). I was in hospital for 3 months, had no movement in my whole left side, had very bad head damage and fractured the base of my spine.

If God doesnt exist, could someone please explain to me why I am now healed with just a few minor problems (headaches from whiplash) and my has brain healed totally...

If you want more proof, email me and I will send you a photo of the car- I shouldnt be alive right now but I am and theres only one reason

I think this act might lead a couple people faithful again. But... alot of people suggest it's fake. And even if it is, shouldn't we learn a thing or two from this?

Such as Judas being offered the 30 pieces of silver, the Jew's denial of Him and Peter's denial of Him three times? And what about all that Isaiah wrote about Him 600 years before His birth?

The Bible is God's written Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit.

There were 36 human authors inspired entirely by God over 1600 years, who wrote 66 separate books over this period of time.

And that they serve no purpose apart from procreation -and what kind of a goal is that?
Reproducing, as the meaning of life. A goal for rabbits, for sheep, not for me.
And yet it is good enough for most. To wait, to wait for something to come, to save them, something that does not exist, something that does not come.
So keep on giving birth while standing on your graves, waiting like sheep. As for me I'm going to question everything and laugh at it all. :)
