"It is not a Christians responsibility to prove there is a God. it is in the laps of the non believers to prove there is not. Impossible."


Huh?

I have been into wiccan beliefs for awhile. But i cannot seem to find a good spell book that doesn't seem phony! I want a true wiccan spell book, with true wiccan beliefs, and not some phony person who thinks they know what they are talking about. Any sugestions? I am desperate for a good spell book! Also, anyone know of a legit website i could go to for some guidence from any high-priestesses?? SOMEONE HELP ME!!

During the night as I was sleeping, I heard a voice so clear to my ear. It was the sound of a young girl and she whipsered "wake up". It was very clear and very distinct, that I woke up startled and alarmed. Could it just be my imagination or does this mean something more. There isn't a young girl that lives in my house, and I was alone in silence when I woke up.

Nothing like this ever happened to me and I used to think people were crazy when they would say things like this. I have been thinking about it all day.

Im not sure how i ended up in this category, but when i answered a question that praised God, I got so many thumbs down... I cant say i got offended but it just opened my eyes a little bit. I hope nothing for the best in everyones lives and i just cant make myself judge the next person for what they believe in even though we have different views.

♥♥ But i am curious about everyone elses views......
2nd question: Is the back and forth verbal war between religions (or lack thereof) entertainment to you, or is religion a sensitive subject?

Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated. thx

It seems that any time you hear the words "Civil Liberties" today it always pertains to Homosexuality and is against Christianity.

Interesting article I ran across today:

http://www.thesmartset.com/article/article09190701.aspx

Excerpt:

"In the 1400s, the skyrocketing cost of dowries meant that many of the city’s noblest families were obliged to place their teenage daughters, regardless of their wishes, in convents. Few of these developed a spiritual calling. It was openly accepted that the top convents were a “safety valve” for Venice’s surplus of well-born single women, who could go on to enjoy a level of sexual freedom unique for the time.

"The nunneries were run like luxury boutique hotels. Novices were given duplicate keys so they could come and go as they pleased from their palatial apartments, which were filled with artwork and overlooked the Grand Canal. Wearing the most fashionable, low-cut dresses, they would entertain male visitors with wine-fuelled banquets, then invite their beaux to spend the night in their rooms."

I have a friend who is Jewish. She thinks that Jesus was a great man but doesn't believe he was the savior. Is she going to spend eternity in Hell?

Is it because they don't want to take responsibility for the sins they commit?

... pray for us (me and my family)...

I've been going through some tough times and I need help and only God can help me. Thank you.

Anyways, I am curios to know what kind of holidays we shouldn't celebrate. I'm a "new" Christian and am confused about Easter, Christmas, Sunday worship, birthdays and funerals.

I've heard so many different things and don't know what to believe.
We are not supposed to glorify or celebrate each other (birthdays/funerals).
And I have heard Christmas can't be the "right" birthday (Jesus's) because the time table described in the Bible differs (the sheep were sent to the field in the wintertime?) with ours.

How can I rid myself of some of my better emotions, is there a way to become a cruel and evil person.

Is it that you guys have become distracted by other things....keeping our family together isn't quite as important, having a family to have a child isn't as important, staying true to our family isn't as important. We want it now and we want it easy and it's our RIGHT to do whatever we want....and eventually, as Family become less and less important, and our own personal happiness and fulfillment (whatever the heck that really is) and personal pleasure and desires become more important, the family will desitegrate and our purpose will be lost and there will be CHAOS.


Or is that a Libertarian philosophy???

In his dream, there were 2 girl ghost/spirits in the backyard by the door. He went and opened the sliding door but stayed in the house. He felt angry/scared. He yelled "What do you guys want?" The girls asked "Where is Angel?" My husband was shocked and scared and mad. He didnt respond. And he woke up.

FYI: I had an ectopic pregnancy in May 2007 which resulted in the removal of my baby at 5 weeks. We named our baby Angel. We are currently trying to get pregnant again.
Who are the girls? And why are they asking "where is Angel?"
Thanks to anyone who can give us an answer.

With my spare money (im a college student so its not much) ive been buying small things from EWTN. Mostly books to help me with my RCIA classes. I ordered a Rosary braclett a week or so ago and it comes with a Saint Prayer Card- randomly. So while it was being shipped I got sick. Really sick, to the point a friend helped me out of mass because I couldnt breathe. My order came in, the braclett is beautiful, and my sait card is of St. Bernadette- she is saint over sickness and sick people. How cool is that? of all the possible saint cards for me to go while that sick, i get her.

Anyone have something like this happen?

The whole world is covered in sedimentary rock, laid down by water, containing billions of dead creatures. The fossils were clearly buried quickly since they were not eaten and have not rotted.

If the land mass on earth were smoothed out then the earth would be covered by water to a depth of 1.7 miles, so there is ample water to cover the earth!

There are flood stories form dozens of nations all over the world, with many commonalities, all recalling this very real event.

Yet people claim there is no evidence for a global flood!

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.

ragnarok approaches, foolish beliefs about a rapture and a bearded man in a bathrobe will not save you from surtur's firey sword or gain you the honor of death in battle.

Now I'm not saying "Every" Christian is like this, but I can say every Christian I've met are so condemning and full of anger towards everyone who doesn't fit their beliefs 100%, or towards, the poor, gay, mentally ill, etc. anything different than them. I've met so many nice athiests with morals, where every christian I've met acted all good in the church but then it's like **** everybody and treat ppl like crap when they leave the church? They've just been so quick to judge and talk stuff to everyone, where the athiests have been so much more accepting and seem to act with far more love.
