This is just a hypothetical. Consider Heaven and Hell your own interpretation of them, but still as a good place and a bad place, respectively. Personally, I'd rather serve in Heaven. That way I can be happy and be with those I love. What would you rather do, and why? If you choose to reign in Hell, how would you reign and what would be the benfits overall? Likewise with serving in Heaven.

first of all i am turkish muslim. i dont understand the thing about circumcision is a must some ppl says. Mohammed said: "Circumcision is a sunnah for the men ". The term sunnah here means that it is conform to the tradition of Muhammed himself, or simply a custom at the time of Muhammed. Sunnah means sunnet in turkish , sunnet means circumcision in turkish as well.

so here you go, man don't need circumcision. i have a son and i dont think i want him to get circumcision. he can get it if he wants later as a grown up. what do you think? its a must for muslims?

Of all the strange “crimes that human beings have legislated out of nothing, “blasphemy” is the most amazing--with “obscenity” and “indecent exposure” fighting it out for second and third place.

from the notebooks of lazarus long-
i ask this because i saw in a question i answered earlier that a couple of people answered that was blasphemy and shortly after that it was deleted-just wondering if all questions that blast someones beliefs should be deleted-of course there wouldnt be many questions left in this section but is that what you all want-a closed forum-
thanks in advance for any answers-smile and enjoy the day

With increased acceptance of intersexuality and those born with both sets of genitals or a bisexual brain...

...isn't this just more evidence of End Times?

I'm getting sick and tired of foreceful nature of Protestant preaching...; S and getting confused as to which is the right way in truly serving our Lord...

Bible.
Is it right for a family to lose a Daughter,mother,sister to a medical condition (that was totally curable) because of a dodgy translation of a 2000 year old book?
should Jehovahs Witnesses be charged with manslaughter for encouraging this women to commit suicide?
Even their own religious tome states that suicide is a SIN.

Shouldn't we all be agnostics? Nobody in today's world can be absolutely 100% certain. I believe strongly in my faith, but it's just that - faith. If there is not undisputable, unquestionable certain proof - wouldn't that make us all agnostics?

PS - I am a Christian, and am very involved in my church. This is just some "wild thinking." :-)

isn't it the children's duty to take care of their parents, so why did Jesus entrust Mary to other people, like John, rather than to His own brothers?

I was raised in the religion I follow and have no problem with this. I was given the opportunity to look into other religions, which I did, however had no wish to convert to any. I have heard that some pagans feel that to raise their children in their religion is against their free will. I would not agree and say that as long as children have the chance to study other religions, if they so choose, then there is no wrong in teaching them of your religion. Religion would not survive effectively if it were not handed down, I know my ancestors did so or my family would not follow the religion we do. Perhaps it is a modern or neo-pagan view not to raise your children this way. I think religion is important in family life and is a great source of strength for a family unit. I understand not all pagans were raised this way, but wish to know what you think? Regardless of whether you were raised in the religion you follow or not.

Hello my brothers and sisters in faith....
I came to know a sister over some years. She is what we'll call "Spiritually weak". She has a good heart and went through a lot in life. Her desire is to serve Jehovah whole heartedly.
Recently she started dateing a brother who was disfelloshipped twice. He too is a nice person but also spritually weak. They have a desire to get married and follow the faith strongly now. Both of them have been on an emotional rollercoaster and they are stuggling to regain their relationsionship with Jehovah.
I know with God all things are pssible, but is it possible for these two people to work together in building eachother spiritually? Is it possible that when they get married it would work?

I feel left out now after becoming a non-Christian. Everyone either says stuff for Christians or for atheists. Should I just leave?

I see all these been there done that people on here attesting to knowledge of demons, Like Harry Potter Demons and Ouija Board Demons. I went to Catholic School and to Mass daily for years. I never heard ONE thing about anything paranormal happening in our very large parish. I never heard of an exorcism being performed or anything like that. Believe me if the gossips in the ladies auxiliary heard anything I would have got it straight from my mother.

Its a good point.
could someone explain?

A few days ago, the question of bible contradictions came up, once again, in a very general sense; as it turns out, faithfuls didn't actually see any.

So here's two details that strike me as odd (quoted from King James):
Leviticus 20,10: "And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death." (note it is the Lord speaking to Moses)

John 8,7: "So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." (Jesus pressed to condemn an adultress)

In the latter, the adultress will surely not be put to death, for no man is without sin; Jesus teaches giving her another chance in what appears to be a direct contradiction of the Lord's words toward Moses.

Please explain this apparent contradiction away logically if you can.
