As a girl my mum was called a devils child by a group of Jehovah witnesses. I think I know her pretty well and she is a good person, for what reason would they call her that?

God is Jesus. If anyone believes this you are Gods chosen child. You will be taken to heaven with the other chosen and you will not parish in hell.

Search the scriptures and you will be unable to find another instance of an angel greeting any of God's other creatures in such a manner.

Gabriel obviously understood the God ordained role of this humble woman of Nazareth, since his manner of greeting was one of respect and reverence to the mother of Jesus, the queen of the royal house of david, the queen of heaven, and the queen of the angels, according the grace of God, by virtue of her divine motherhood.

Why can't protestants understand this simple text?

Luk 1:28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women ...
Luk 1:31 Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
Luk 1:32 He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father: and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. And his kindom will have no end.

Does it really matter whether a given religion is "true" or not? Does it matter whether its mythology is literal history or allegory or outright falsehood? Does that make the experience of the practitioners of that religion less real, less valid? Wasn't every religion "made up" by someone at some point? But doesn't every religion touch on some deep spiritual truth that transcends all religions? In that way, aren't they all true?

Can you break down the belief of Catholics? What do they believe? What are their practices? How often do they have to confess? What is a hail mary? What is mass? I know absolutely nothing about it and I was interested in it.

For the record, I am a Christian (pentecostal Holiness).

Freedom of speech (ie no censcorship)
or moral obligation to the upbringing and well being of our children?

PS - doesn't matter if you have children or not - I'm interested in your views on the moralities that society teaches our children.

In Central New York State, they are having a problem with MRSA (staph infection.)

The situation: Due to overuse of antibiotics a strong strain (resistant to antibiotics) has taken hold and is infecting people in record numbers.

The virus has adapted through natural selection and become an incredibly strong virus. (ie through so called "Evolution")

Can you please go there and tell the doctors and populace not to worry because evolution doesn't exist. It says so in the bible.

I am sure the parents of the child that died would love to hear from you. I think it will soothe their souls. Thanks in advance.

Ok why on earth is it that athiests seem to be at christianity's throat, and christianity is always at the athiest's throat?? I mean, the majority of athiests don't start condemning other religions except christianity (most, not all)...but why condemn it at all? And christians love to attack athiests..why on earth is this?? It makes no sense. Why not just go on with each other's lives? Why all the fuss?

Something causing a major shift in your thinking ?
An experience that makes you see the world differently,
or make you understand yourself better,
or make you understand other better ?

Is that something you can experience through fasting, or lots of exercice, or meditation, or relaxation techniques, or sex, or age, or drugs, or psychotherapy, or deep thinking, or martial arts, or arts, ... ?

Can you consider that people have spiritual experiences without linking that to god(s) ?

Have a good day.

and then self deleted it?

Why?

1. You decided it might have offended someone.

2. You were embarrassed that you had asked such a dumb question.

3. Someone gave you such a rude insulting answer that you felt terrible for asking the question.

4. __________________________________

now there are very different times, full of equality and freedom.

it shouldnt be forbidden to have safe and normal sex with someone we arent married. it shouldnt be a sin if someone isnt a virgin when they marry. it shouldnt be a sin to masturbate.

Hell is only for those heavy criminals like rapists, paedophiles, sadistic killers, those who hate others. but when they are in Hell, they can get a chance to get out if they truly regret, but not in Heaven. they can have their own place similiar to Heaven and they can enjoy there if they want.

everyone that is in Heaven is protected from getting hurt (physically or emotionally). so no one can be kicked out from Heaven cause they will be prevent from doing bad things. it would really suck to live all life nicely, but then in Heaven someone would be kicked out just because of one bad thing.

The law that states that it is now a federal crime for a student to refer to their parent as mom or dad in the classroom because gays, grandparents raising children or single parents might find it offensive?

That when you tear out all of the Old Testament, the Gospels of Luke and John, all of Paul's letters (except 1st Corinthians), and The Revelation of St. John..... that the bible makes a lot more sense?

I mean they don't even beleive in the devil!!! So how could some people say they worship the devil if they don't know anything about other religions other than their own?? I'm 15 and read a couple of books on Wicca and found out it's an interesting religion. But I'm waiting till I'm older to see if I want to convert to it.




P.S If I see any "your soul is tainted" or "the devil is clouding your thoughts" I will report you. I don't want any answers that say "you should follow Jesus your savior to help your soul". I will also report those.
