"ALL prayers are answered, even when the answer is silence."

-taken from an answer to my last question asking for examples of when prayer works.

How can silence be an answer? Do you consider silence an answer when you ask a human being for something?

Proverbs1:7;9:10

Obviously when they deny the LORD, they don't fear or reverence Him.

Or is it just that their wisdom/knowledge is different than Godly or Spiritual wisdom/knowledge?

Give your reasons.

think about it, under christianity you can get away with anything so long as you accept jesus.

under judism which follows the old testament, god kills people for the equivalent of jaywalking.

yet jews are more libral and christians are more conservative showing the opposite stance on crime that thier religion dictates.

sometimes do you feel the believers are trying so hard to be a good witness to the unblievers that they forget to bless the believers with the same passion such as, help, edifiy, encourage, share? Is this because they are fearful the unbelievers may be offended?
Please share your thoughts on this to help me see all views

If you follow the scriptures, Noah had 3 sons
Whith their wifes, they populated the world.
The sons of Adam and Hava had child with the daughters of the giants but after the flow, the earth was devasted.

Does that means that we are the child of the biggest incest that ever happened ?
Sem is the father of Asians
Cham is father of Africans
Jephet is father of the Europeans
But... who is father of the Americans ?

while I was taking biblical studies we were required to participate in church services (they would let me but I had to go any way) and when the preacher and worship team would get the desired reaction people would say they got the anointing .
well when ever I do a show I use my skills as a good show man and get the desired response and the cheers get louder as I go all out for the aduiance
worship teams and preachers use the same skills I use when doing a service as I do .
So could it be that You christians confuse anointing with good show man ship?

A Canadian Christian University found that Christians are better at not being angry! It's true!

They laughed at me outside of the church in Panama when I had on my dress. It was comfortable and roomy, and I don't care what you say, it was my sin!

drummer or a dancer?

i find most pagans fit into one category or the other. i happen to do both, which is sometimes difficult becuase i want to drum, but then the music is so moving that i have to dance lol

for anyone who's not familiar with typical pagan drumming, check out my buddies from niagra falls

I pray everynight for 10-15 minutes, i pray every morning, i pray everytime before i leave the house no matter what im about to do, i pray whenever i feel unsure about something, i pray basically ALL the time. And when i say PRAY i mean like sometimes just conversating with God about what's on my mind. I have a very close relationship with him. Do you think maybe I pray too much?? Is that even possible?? I just love God so much I can't help it!

last night i asked a question about spaying and neutering pets. the general concensus seemed to be that everyone agreed that these are necessary evils in order to prevent the effects of overpopulation of animals. just as spaying and neutering has now become commonplace, do you see abortion eventually becoming the norm as a means of not only birth control, but population control as well? indeed, the earth is only so big. it is estimated within the next 60 years the population of the earth will double to approximately 13billion people. some countries, such as china, already rely on abortion as a means of population control. do you suppose when the u.s. starts feeling the effects of overpopulation abortion won't be seen so much as ungodly, but necessary?

Most of you worship Pop stars Celebrities' you make your own little alters, with their pictures on the walls you go to there concerts' pay big money stand for hours in the weather to glimpse them,
Since science has devalued religion you have substituted God with Pop stars, You make remarks about the coffers in the church [collections] but are you doing exactly the same
contributing your money to those Celebrities, You may say
O'h but it gives us happiness and its not the same 'wrong''
Christians get the same buzz as you do, You are reading every gossip about celebrities like the Christians reading their scripts,
You are looking for something to fill that empty vacuum,
My grammer is poor my apology.

isn't the Bible as we've recieved it corrupt?
How can it be both the inerrant word of God and the product of a so-called "false gospel"?
