The way he questioned authority, opposed capitalism, and provided free medical care, makes him seem like a crazy commie. Funny how radical fundamentalists claim moral superiority based on the fact that they don't kill their babies. Makes me laugh.

For example, I am an apostolic and I believe that a man's sinful nature must be killed, buried, and resurrected with Christ. Death is repentance of sins and believing in Jesus as your savior. Being born again of water and spirit is being baptized in Jesus name upon profession of your faith and obedience to the word of God and being filled with the gift of the Holy Ghost and speaking in tongues as the spirit gives utterance. It is real Ive been filled and refilled with it, and tested the spirits to see if they were of God. My organization is ALJC. What do you believe? Just wondering I won't judge anybody.... judge not lest ye be judged.

Is it when it is going down the throat or in the stomach? Or even sooner like when it touches my tongue?

So I will reword it for you: Christians, if you were born in a different culture, do you believe that would you still have found Jesus?
What I mean by this is, do you think that you still would have found what you hold to be the absolute truth if you were born into a much different society? For example: If you were from Pakistan instead of Oklahoma, would you still have found Jesus? Or would you be worshiping Allah instead, "knowing" that he is the savior, not Jesus?

If not, then how can you hold the bible and jesus as undeniable fact? Do you really think that you would be able to shun everything that you were taught and still find jesus?

Men’s brains have boxes. These boxes don’t touch. When a man discusses a particular subject, he goes to particular box, takes out what is in that box; discusses what is in that box, and only what is in the box. When he is done, he puts the box back, careful not to touch any of the other boxes.

Women’s brains are very different than men’s brains. They are made up of big ball of wire. Everything is connected to everything else. Money is connected to the job; the job is connected to the kids. It’s like the Internet superhighway. And it is all driven by energy called emotion

Seems the Abrahamites will stop at nothing to "prove" women are inferior to men and should be "controlled" They will even use "scientists" who are pastors in an attempt to cloak their primitive insanity and lust in misinterpreted scientific evidence from legitimate sources See the 2 links

Chuck Norris wrote it, he actually wrote the 10 commandments too by carving them into stone with his fingers.

When someone of another faith says that they've met, walked with, talked to, or felt the power of a god/spirit that contradicts with your understanding of the supernatural, are they lying? Delusional? Mistaken?

Hello Everyone.. :)

I do not want any anger or evil words said against one another..~Please~

I am just asking for your honest thoughts and opinions..on the questions I have asked.. :)

The questions are:

1.) If a child is in it's mothers womb and someone kills the mom and unborn child..Why then can the person, be charged with a double homicide?

2.) Is it because the child is a living human being, with the same rights as ours?

3.) But a child who is aborted by their Mom's, do they not have the same right or dignity?

4.) Is it because they say, the baby is not a living human being, like us?

7.) Who or what then decides a childs rights, have been terminated or violated?

These types of questions have burdened my heart..

As they seem to contridicate one another.. :(

Why or why not? If so, to who are you giving thanks?

2007-10-24 02:49:01 · 18 answers · asked by Linz ♥ VT 4

example: a school bus falls off a cliff killing 43 children. only 1 survives. people call it a miracle that one survived. if god had a hand in the miracle of that child surviving, then he also had a hand in murdering the other 43!

so was this act one of kindness for saving that special child, or one of murder for killing the rest?

is a miracle only that in the eyes of the beholder? if so, is it really from god?


thanks billbob ; )

What is up with Bigfoot? Why didn't he/she evolve?

2007-10-24 02:48:53 · 9 answers · asked by Anonymous

Evolution is also controlled by God . As I saw in Muslim literatture one of Gods name is Al BARI which means THE EVOLVER..

So isnt reasonable to conclude that God is the origniator of evolution?

I dont want answers bashing Islam religion or insulting the religions.

Short and good answers would be better

Also: If God didnt started evolution , then how did it began by itself?

The American Religious Heritage from England was basically 4 groups. Presbyterian(basically Scottish in origin), Methodist, Baptist, and (low) just church as opposite to high church(Anglican). A very important point is that the vicars/reverends, etc actually got a stipend(salary).

Since then in the US, it seems these groups have further subdivided, with perhaps others added, Cathlocism arrived and so on. I am told that the Pastors, etc, make their salary from the collection plates. Thus they largely have to tell the congregation what they want to hear to live other than in poverty. There is thus also commercial competition between the churches.

That the Catholics and the Protestants dont speak with the same voice is understandable enough, even though they are supposed to have the same God. But that the Protestant church doesn't do so seems to make you easy meat for those that would throw you to the wolves. Would you agree with that?

Yes i,am a Christian i just want to know what everything being said about God is true just what if you would risk being a non-believer and go to hell now i know you dont believe so you probably wont take the question seriously but, just think what if you are wrong? I dont know how many have read the bible but, its not going to be pretty on the day of judgement.
