Has the population of the Earth been recyling since the begining? Are there only so many souls available to the Earth? Is it possible that women would stop having children if the souls were depleated? Have we been improving? Is it possible that we could be reincarnated as an animal or plant?

Why do you find it ok that the Christian God does this? This is not an attack. I sincerely want to know how Christians feel ok about this.

I'm wanting the full-blown rigorous definition: 'Prophets in the Biblical sense', not 'someone who has functioned prophetically' or 'my friend's friend told me something and it came true!!!' and not 'False Prophets' etc. etc.
Do you think there are Biblical level/quality prophets in the world today? Why or Why Not?
Thanks!

Ok...I don't know where to start but I will try to make sense. I won't go into much detail about the story but try to understand my point. There was a woman who murdered her three children back in the 80's and she claimed she always had a desire to murder people as far back as she could remember, even as a young child. My question is, if she ALWAYS had a desire to murder, then why did God allow her to have this desire if children are born "perfect"? Not everyone has this desire to murder, but there are one's who do and I wondered why God allows them to have this desire as young children.

I think there is a compromise but some folks are refusing to be open minded to new ideas and possibilities.

I think the world is about 5 billion years old, and I think God also made the world in 6 days, resting on the seventh day. How can I reconcile both beliefs? Simple. God's days are not the same as our days. Maybe we are in the middle of God's day 8 (whatever) after he started to make the world?

Comments anyone?

A while back I was on a forum and there was a religious debate and one of th debaters was Jewish and she would write G-d. She even explained how it was a form of respect. Cool, right? I never knew that until then.

Anyways, another debater after that would write God with the o underlined, assuming to make a point that she thought it was respectful not to change his name.

Was she rude to underline the o?

Just looking to see your opinion, I thought she was rude cause she did it on purpose, not because it's how she would always write it like the Jewish person would.

I just can't understand why “Christians" ignore the Old Testament law and say "Jesus died for our sins, so the Old Testament law doesn't apply to us” Then when it comes to things like Gays and Witches they use the Old Testament laws to condemn.

JESUS taught us to love one another! He also taught us not to Judge others!
Can you find me a scripture where JESUS himself condemns Gays and Witches? Not the words of one of his disciples or a man who was a tax collector and was blinded but the words of JESUS!

Hey, I have been thinking alot about the concept of evil lately, and I have some questions to ask! :)
1. What exactly is evil? Can can we define it?
2. How can we judge evil? - Perceptions etc
3.The origions of evil - is it orgional sin?
4. Christianity and Evil. Is evil somewhat the basis of christianity?
5.Free will and evil- is it because of free will that evil exists?
and my final one, which I am most interested in - Why evil isnt nessescarly such a bad thing.

If anyone has any links that they could share with me, or any theologist sites that I can read up on, it would be great! Thank you! :)

I am thinking about filing paperwork to seek an annulment for my first marriage through the Catholic Church - I have remarried to someone else since in a civil ceremony but I would like to receive the sacrement of communion again.

If you're Catholic and have been through the Catholic annulment process, I would love to hear your story. (NOTE: Please - no "Catholic bashing" answers from anyone who is NOT Catholic or does NOT believe in the annulment process - I have been struggling emotionally with this decision, and I really just want to hear the experiences of people who have been through this before.

My diocese (Nashville) does not charge anything for an annulment, BTW.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 is often quoted to justify the doctrine of sola scriptura: "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."

What does "inspired" (literally, "breathed") mean? Is it only scripture that God inspires, or does he inspire teaching, writings, or other works besides scripture? If only scripture is inspired and scripture was completed in the first century, does God no longer inspire teaching, writing, or other works?

In survivor the flight attendant guy said he was a gay mormon. Desperate housewives just had 2 guys say they were gay mormons.

Ok wait a sec
You can say you are gay and be a good standing mormon but you cant practice homosexual behavior and really be a good standing mormon.
What is up with these tv shows?
Does any other mormon find this a bit odd or humorous or confusing?

And if you start off with a small church and it grows, do you think the Pastor should turn people away because a lot of people do not except large churches?

general religion, no certain religions or denominations. People can be rational or irrational, but because they are religious...does that make them irrational or rational? Or non-religious, whichever you prefer to state.

On another website, someone stated that they felt religious people were often more rational than those who weren't. I felt that that was the biggest slice of bologna ever.
