Are you atheist or Christian? If you're neither, then I don't care to hear from YOU or the chip on your shoulder, 'k? Respond irrelevantly, take the two points, but save the 'tude.

Angel Gabriel is the Angel of Revelation and was sent unto all the Prophets to strengthen them with the messages and Revelation from GOD.

It looks like the Trinity concept makes him part of god-head.

1. First, you must want to believe in God.

2. Next, understand that believing in God in the absence of evidence is especially noble.

3. Then, realize that the human ability to believe in God in the absence of evidence might itself constitute evidence for the existence of God.

4. Now consider any need for further evidence (both in yourself and in others) to be a form of temptation, spiritually unhealthy, or a corruption of the intellect.

5. Refer to steps 2-4 as acts of “faith.”

6. Return to 2.

Does that mean the whole Tree Of Knowledge thing is a lie?

Supposedly after Adam ate that fruit, he learned shame. But if you don't teach a child shame, they don't know it.

Gee, does that mean that story isn't true?

That is, when thinking of the future of mankind - regardless of what you believe - do you have faith that mankind will endure?

But people perceive in many different ways. I am not Christian, but If a Christian believes in and loves Jesus with all their heart, I cannot say to myself:

I honestly believe that there is a Divine, whom everyone perceives differently. Organised religion and rituals are man made.

Do you agree or disagree? Please explain.

Do you really believe that there is something after death and that there is a heaven and hell? For now lets just PRETEND that you do believe in both. Would you be afraid of hell and dying? Even if you think that you would go to heaven, are you still afraid of dying simply because you don't know about it?

Is it that much of stretch to believe that there is one, true expression of Cristianity?

It doesn't seem fair that all humans should be punished for the fall of Adam and Eve. After all, neither I nor anyone currently living could have done anything to prevent it. This type of global punishment for the indiscretion of only one individual is a direct violation of the Geneva Convention.

If God didn't want Adam or Eve to eat the fruit of knowledge, then why did He make them so curious? It seems like God bears some of the responsibility for humanity's failings. Maybe I should write Him a letter.

Sure, maybe Jesus came around to "forgive" our sins, but I want an earthly paradise! God, I hope you're listening to me!

2007-09-27 13:24:06 · 15 answers · asked by Life@ 1

lots of brothers and sisters. My parents and Grandparents were all Catholics, and the one thing we were never told was that Jesus had brothers and sisters. Even at mass it was never mentioned we were led to believe that Jesus was an only child, Mary being his mother and Joseph his foster father. Does anyone know why, if you answer please respect the Catholic religion I am just being curious.

Wikipedia defines humanism as: "Humanism is a broad category of ethical philosophies that affirm the dignity and worth of all people, based on the ability to determine right and wrong by appeal to universal human qualities—particularly rationality.[1][2] It is a component of a variety of more specific philosophical systems and is incorporated into several religious schools of thought. Humanism entails a commitment to the search for truth and morality through human means in support of human interests. In focusing on the capacity for self-determination, Humanism rejects the validity of transcendental justifications, such as a dependence on belief without reason, the supernatural, or allegedly divinely revealed texts. Humanists endorse universal morality based on the commonality of the human condition, suggesting that solutions to human social and cultural problems cannot be parochial"
I believe that this belief system offers an alternative to ancient religions, such as christianity.

i am seeing it i really am thier now tryin too put freedom of religion everywhere ,and sumtimes i dont see the religion of ours in the category freedom of religion but i see it sumtimes in banned religions and i was watchin the 700 club and this girl she had too take off her chasity ring in school cuz they didnt allow the chasity rings for what they symbolized
and i think alot of people get the wrong idea of what christianity is about cuz were not supposed too go around condemning things and others and were not supposed too spoil the rod and beat the child and were not suppoosed too abandon people for who they are and what they are


were supposed too love and accept one another on earth forever
