Not that I'm personally offended by it, but sometimes it almost seems like a euphemism for "**** YOU."

and they had already passed on, does this mean it is ok for us to ask our Creator if He is willing if He might send a message to our loved ones, or can they or angels possibly communicate something to us? Are they permitted to hear and see us? How can we tell?

Every thought of God is prayer. Holy, true and honest purposes are prayer. Earnest thought, search without vanity is prayer.

I am not prejudice to any person for their beliefs. I understand that Christianity is a very strict religion. Most Christians I have known turned out to be hypocrites--they claim to be Christian, yet they do not follow the rules of the bible. Just a few examples I can give off the top of my head: A Christian I knew at one time who turned out to own pornography, a Christian I knew who turned out to be an alcoholic, many I have known who turned out to be adulterers, and the list goes on and on. In fact, there is not one Christian I have personally known who is not a hypocrite. Just to clarify, I am talking not about their past lives but their hypocritical lifestyles while claiming the religion.

It's not the idea of the religion itself, but most of the people associated with Christianity that make it very unappealing to me. I understand a lot of people need to cling to something. but this tends to be a focus point for hypocrites

Most christians say that the coming of Jesus heralded a new covenant between man and god and hence the old laws don't apply anymore.According to the New Testament Matthew 5:17 says "Do not suppose that I have come to abolish the Law and the prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to complete. I tell you this: so long as heaven and earth endure, not a letter, not a stroke, will disappear from the Law until all that must happen has Happened." So since Jesus has not returned the "Law" is still in effect, so why aren't we still burning witches, stoning adulterers and disobedient children, killing homosexuals, ostracizing people that work on the Sabbath (nurses, doctors etc.), flinging blood onto the horns of the alter, pulling off the heads of small birds, and don't forget human sacrifice to God (Leviticus 27 P.28 )?

chronicles 21: 1 david numbers the fighting men

1 Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel

2 samuel 24:1 david counts the fighting men

Again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, "Go and take a census of Israel and Judah”.

one of them is wrong and is lying, or
both are right, - God of the old testament is SATAN, which would explain why muslims want war, Jews have all power and money in the world(which satan gives to his loyal followers), and why they own the world, like USA.
the OT God says: "I do not change", then he does change in the new Testament-or it is a different God.
Xtian gnostics claim there's a god above YHWH.
the Kabbalah(jewish mysticism) says YHWH created the world, but there is a god above him, so does the muslim sufi's, another god above Allah.
1)Why would the mystics of abrahamic faiths claim theres a god above YHWH?
2)Could YHWH be Satan? - the god of the jews?

The only reason why people do not believe that the process of evolution is 'real' and adaptation and survival of the fittest is still considered as 'theory' is because of our extremely short life spans, resulting in terrifyingly fickle attention spans...

Concerned about the source of pixels we fail to realize the bigger picture made up of pixels... or something like that.

Is this something we can agree on?

Did Adam have nipples? If so, how did he acquire them? In fact, why would God give "later man" nipples at all? They serve no purpose other than lactation. Some say pleasure. Where is that in Genesis exactly? All mammals have nipples as well, are theirs pleasureful for them too? Many men don't find their nipples pleasurable at all.

I'm a Christian, Baptist, and I'm thinking of going to a Catholic church just for the experience. I'm not looking to change my religion, but just enjoy the service. What should I expect? I hear they are strict, and I don't know what goes on during mass. I don't want to like be forced to speak in front of everyone, or go to a confession or something. What is it like, generally?

Why did God flood the earth to remove evil? It didn't work! Evil came right back, God should have known that would happen! So why did He bother?[Note: A good example of how quickly sin returned, was Noah getting drunk just after they discovered land.] Also how did plants survive the great flood?Did the ark also have these on board?how many trees were needed to build this thing?
