Oppressive governments that persecute and kill Chrisitans?

Or

A gospel that says, "Being a good person will get you to heaven" and "Jesus is just one of many ways to heaven"?

What do you think?

I only am asking this to Christians whom think helping Israel is just, if you would still like to answer though you aren't whom
I am addressing you may answer the first five, the sixth is irrelevant to you.

Dear Christians whom think supporting "Israel" and Zionists is a Christians duty, may you answer these questions, please?

:

1) Who was the fonder of modern political Zionism?

2) What were his religious beliefs?

3) What is the Jewish Orthodox view concerning Zionists and modern day "Israel"?

4) What percentage of Palestinians are Christian?

5) What language/s do they - ( the Palestine people ) speak?

6) *Why* do you think supporting "Israel" and the Zionists is a Christians duty?


Thank you!

Say they are Christian, but then accept like Yoga and Tai Chi and other practices that the Bible clearly forbids.

This one Catholic lady was telling me all about alternative medicine and Chinese medicine. I was like "let me out of here!"....

I mean, why not just start practicing vodoo too?

What does the Bible say about piercings or tattoos? I was thinking of getting a tattoo, but at this point I have no tattoos and no piercings, not even my ears. If you could give me the text/verse that would be great too.
And don't bother with anti-Bible, anti-God remarks. They're not helpful and I don't care.

I'm an agnostic, so while I have some doubts about the existence of God, I have none about right and wrong. Many Atheists oppose the Catholic Church on the grounds that "their priests are perverts" well, unless you believe that perversion is definitely evil, you can't say that.

How do you explain the light from stars that exploded billions of years ago that we can see now? Is that an optical illusion?

This is not a question asking for your opinion. I am looking for a correct answer.

So. I'm testing you. What do Pagans worship? Are they evil? (I know what they worship... it's not anything bad like most reatrds think).

If they invited you to a Samhain party or whatever, would you go? Politly say 'no thank you'? Or be rude and say they'd go to your make believe hell place?

Hi,
My FI and I are both Irish and are getting married in Las Vegas. We have the ceremony and reception booked, the problem now is, can we get married by a priest, as the ceremony is at the reception site and will be taking place outside. Can priests perform marriages anywhere, or has it to be on consecrated ground. Also, would the wedding be recognised by the Catholic church here in Ireland. Thanks for any help you can give me with this one...

Does this mean that with each new generation we are getting better? Does this include our brains and the way we think as well or just primarily physiologically? Sidenote: If I were to look at a photograph about 100 years old, would I be able to see slight differences physically in people?

Some Christians say that praying to anyone other than God directly is a sin. As a Catholic, raised to pray to Mary and other saints to ask them to intercede/pray for us, I wondered what the basis for this belief is.

I am just curious, for my own theological growth, not looking to start a fight, so only civil answers, please.
