Of course we don't have golden calves anymore. But besides the obvious ones -- money, sex, power, ego -- what are some other kinds of idols that call us away from the true God who was Jesus' father?

This is a catholic religious course in order for them to be confirmed into the catholic church. Although I was brought up Catholic and my husband had no religious upbringing, I do not believe I have to send my children to catholic classes in order for them to be a good person and believe in God. My parents are very upset at my decision. I am 31yrs old and have a right to raise my children the way I want to. I want them to be good people and respect others. I am not going to force any religion upon them. I will teach them what I've been taught and they can make their own choices from there. I just feel as though my parents will disown me if I don't send them to these classes. And my husband does not agree with these classes at all. What do I do?

The Bible says the earth was flat or a circle (contradicts itself), Magellan sailed AROUND the earth proving that the earth is a sphere.

Job 38:12-13 "take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it

Matthew 4:1-12 "[T]he devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them"

The Bible says that the earth did not move and the sun orbited around the earth because the Bible says that. They were wrong. Galileo was imprisoned for life and one of his friends was killed by the church.

(Psalms 93:1)"Surely the world is established so that it cannot be moved."

Samuel 2:8)"For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, And He has set the world upon them". If you go to any seashore, you are bound to see houses built on pillars, and yet the houses don't move. How strange.

The Bible says that rabbits chewed their cud.
Lev. 11:6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud"

If you are, are you a theistic Satanist or a non-theistic/ LaVeyan Satanist?
Can you tell me a little bit about what you believe? I'm somewhat familiar with LaVeyan Satanism but I want to hear from people who practice these beliefs

I have gotten so many Christians telling me he was an atheist and wanted to kill every Christian (Catholic or not). I also have read quotes such as:

"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter.

In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross." ---Adolf Hitler

I have always seen the angel of death depicted as dark and evil. I personally do not consider death to be a dark experience. Are there any other versions of this angel that are more likeable?

I asked an earlier question about female pastors, right or wrong. Quite a few mentioned cultural changes as a reason.
If the Bible says in Malachi that "I, the Lord, do not change," how did the interpretation change in the Bible? Did it "change" because of the cultural change? If it did, then God must have changed with the culture. We have a paradox here.
If the Bible is ALL God inspired, then even when it is was written, would still be effective today as it was yesterday. If Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, how does the Word change from culture to culture if He doesn't?

Christians, is this a form of witchcraft? Where can I get a solid answer for a friend who is not saved and is questioning if his son should be wearing this bracelet. Is this not something that people who practice Santeria (witchcraft) give to their newborns? Can this child be effected spiritually by wearing this bracelet.

What is your opinion of this video? Watch it all the way through and tell me what you think...It is one of the best documentaries I have seen on the subject and I watch videos from both sides of the spectrum....(who was it that said know your enemy?)

If you answer quickly I will know you did not take the time to watch it objectionably and I promise I will watch any video you post as well. I am not looking for negativity only honest debate after viewing the video...Please do send me links to videos to watch, but do not tell me to read the Bible...I have read the Bible cover to cover many times and can recite still the lessons that were taught to me during my Catholic upbringing. This is not meant to intimidate anyone, only to educate objectionably. Both the Old Testament and New Testament are covered.

How are Wiccans different from Christians? The first impression is that Wiccans believe in spells and magicks.

Revelation 12

10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

I like "The Four Immeasurables" :
May all living beings have happiness and the causes of happiness;
May all living beings be free from misery and the causes of misery;
May all living beings never be separated from happiness, devoid of misery;
May all living beings abide in equanimity free from prejudicial attachments and aversions.
-The Buddha

Is it wrong to pray or cast a spell that interferes with someone else's free will?

Praying "Dear God, please make Jimmy/Jenny love me" is just as bad as trying to cast a spell that will make Jimmy/Jenny love you, isn't it?

What are your thoughts on this matter?

"For to what angel did God ever say, ‘Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee'? Or again, ‘I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son'? And again, when he brings the first-born into the world, he says, ‘Let all God's angels worship him.'"
If God calls Jesus "Son" but doesn't call any of the angels "Son" and at the same time directs the angels to worship Jesus when He is walking upon this earth, it is quite obvious that Jesus was not St. Michael the Archangel but is in fact God incarnate.

Please explain.

Has it ever come true in your life? Please tell us about it.

Psalm 68
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song.
1 Let God arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;
Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.
2 As smoke is driven away,
So drive them away;
As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 But let the righteous be glad;
Let them rejoice before God;
Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.

4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Extol Him who rides on the clouds,[a]
By His name YAH,
And rejoice before Him.

okay, so i got a project due and i have to do a survey based on Jason Everett's book "If you really loved me"

How would you respond to "everyone is doing it"-aka having sex in a christian perspective, referring to the bible and christian morality

OR


How would you respond to "everyone is doing it" in your own opinion, regardless the religious part.
