Let's get behind her and pray for her.
Believers and unbelievers alike.(Never with fear.) (Never with unbelief) (not in sorrow.) Only in:
Joy,
Peace,
Great Hope,
Love,
Good Will.

We truly miss her presence here on R&S.

Good bless you "Gnostic!"
Our deepest love.
R&S

(She may not respond, but she will read your "love letters.")

I've been told by Christians that the purpose of life is to praise God. Is God, an all-powerful being, so insecure that he needs to make intelligent life just so they can praise Him? Isn't that a bit of a boring reason to live?

All opinions welcomed.

If so, please give theological reasons for this. If Muslims do use those titles, please explain what Muslims understand those titles to mean. Thanks.

----WE ARE NOT talking about eggs(3 parts) & water(3 forms) existing at the same time BUT of God & Christ & their relationship?
--WE IN FACT are talking about the 2 greatest & different personages( Jehovah & Christ), with qualities of love, wisdom , power , justice in a family relationship of Father & Son, are we not?
--WHEN JESUS used illustrations he always was CAREFUL that the illustration did indeed make sense and have a reasonable application to each other!
--WHAT CORRELATION do eggs or water have in relation to the family arrangement of father & Son, where love, kindness, appreaciation, etc. are the main ingredients to anything having to do with family?

-ARE WE TO assume that the yoke of the egg has love & goodness available to be expressed to the shell or egg whites?
-ILLUSTRATIONS ARE worthless if they do not reasonably match in similarities to each other--is that not so?
-SHOULD we accept any idea in proving the unreasonable teaching of the trinity---no matter what?

I don't really speak about my beliefs in detail regarding spirit communication etc
but today I have seen many posts speaking about con men and cold reading etc

so I ask you about one of the readings I have done
it was online ( with someone from R&S )
I desribed their grandfather in detail and gave some more information
the best piece of information I gave them was what language their grandfather spoke ... and it was a language that I had never even heard of
all was confirmed
so I ask you , if I cant see the person I am reading , am not charging for anything I am doing , and giving specific information such as a language spoken ...
is this cold reading , conning someone ?
can you explain it ?

unfortunately for me ... I cant tell you who I was reading ( it isnt my place to )
although it would blooming well help my case here lol

I was raised Catholic, and I completely embrace my Catholic faith, but in recent years allogations have been made against our priests regarding wicked sexual acts with younger members of our parishes. How do you justify remaining a Catholic despite these atrocities?

Even Jesus spoke on and kept the sabbath; he never mentioned that he changed the sabbath to another day or gave such right to any other to do so. I read the King James version of the Bible, and it mentions not that there was a change of days. The seventh day is Saturday, I think.. Is there yet a church that holds to all the commandments, including the fourth?

Tolerance is an important component in our society. How do you all show tolerance when dealing with people of differing beliefs whether it be in RL or here on Yahoo Q&A?

So, I am currently sitting with a friend who has been all around the world and studied many religions. Please clarify what he is telling me; is it true that the (not sure of the exact number of) virgins which are promised to martyrs upon their death and so on are actually virgin BOYS in this religion? He insists that this is true. If so, how could such a thing be held out as incentive for religious purposes? That is just fundamentally WRONG

We read in God's Holy Law Book the Bible in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6: But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

"Jews that die without believing that Jesus, who is God, died for their sins on the cross and rose again. Those Jews go to eternal hell, just as all unbelievers (Jewish or Gentile) go to eternal hell for rejecting this truth about Jesus to their dying breath."

How messed up in the head do you have to be to actually believe this?
I am so fed up with christians in the U.S. I am ready to leave. Any secular Europeans want to adopt me?
