Did God himself, through the apostle Paul, not predict you atheists and evolutionists, 2000 years ago?
Read 2 Timothy 4:3-4
And of course He had something to say for those of us who do believe as well, 2 Timothy 4:6-8. Is that awesome! or what?

He said, “I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam... Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet.” (History of The Church 6:408–409)

I asked if anyone knew the truth about the movie The Golden Compass, then tacked on a quote I picked up to show why I asked in the first place. I got an answer from someone called "Ard-Drui...", but when I went to start a discussion with them as to why I was insulted, but my question ignored, I found they refuse email and IM contact. This person made an assumption that because I used a quote, I must subscribe to said opinion. I have one thing to say to Ard-Drui...; I am Wiccan and was only asking what the truth was, not bashing anyone or anything. You should work on your self-esteem.

A few weeks ago I was in Philadephia visiting some relatives. One evening as I stood on the porch holding my thirteen month old cousin Deja, who to that point only said the occational "Dada". I began to teach her to say car as I had done to just about everything else she touched or saw; pointing to a parked car on the street...."Car?....Car?....Say Car" I said....she pointed to the sky...."Sky?...Sky?...say Sky"...she didn't respond so I responded to the aircraft that flew by...Airplane?...Airplane?...Say Plane?" She kept point up. " Heaven? Say Heaven"I asked. She began to scratch the side of her head as if pondering about the word. Then she said "Angel?". "Yes Angel" I said "and you are one of them who came here to do some special work" I explained.
She continued to scratch the side of her head, her eyes circling trying to find answers and then she mumbled. "Angel up tada tadown here".

Did She recall Heaven?

I'm still trying to figure this out.

Monday night at my Newman club meeting the father had those that wished to stay pray around the alter. A bunch of weird stuff happend and basically he told me something about me that no one knew. I was scared to death and ran off.

Thankfully God knew I would and planned the events so that I didnt leave the building, I ended up huddled in a corner crying. But, now that I think of it, why did I run? Why was I crying and weak and scared?

I dont understand it.

Just seeing what if any correlations there are. I know it's a small sample! And if you're not in a profession yet, put down what you hope to do. And homemaking definitely counts!

Do you use it in a way of exclaimation? I used to. After I drifted away from God and then came back, I spent alot of time in the Bible. I looked at the ten commandments and found that I didn't obey alot of them. One thing I realized is that saying, "Oh my God" is using the Lords name in vain. I prayed and prayed that God would help me to not say it anymore. It took alot of work, but not the phrase rarely comes out of my mouth. I have heard, "oh my word" and things like that, but I've learned to replace it with, "oh my goodness".
Are there any other Christians out there who have battled this? Do you think that this is taking the Lord's name in vain? Have you learned to not say it? Do you think it doesn't matter?

The idea that unbaptized babies was accepted and taught by the Catholic church for centuries. Yes there was some debate but it was accepted by most Catholics and taught as the truth. Then one day the pope says we don't think babies actually go to limbo. He just basically did a 180 on church teachings. Because the pope said it, it was accepted. So I have to wonder how far this goes. What if the pope came out tomorrow and said purgatory no longer exists. Would Catholics then start to condemn the idea of purgatory? What if he declared the koran to be inspired of God. Would Catholics then defend it? How far does the acceptance of what the pope says go? Don't tell me things like this would never happen. Many people would have said the same about limbo.

Most atheists answer "for lack of evidence to the contrary" but that's not why I'm an atheist... which I can only explain by way of a parable.

If I was walking through the forest and saw a tree lieing on the ground and wondered why. I might think that lighting hit it. Or I might think that termites ate away at the roots and it fell. Or I might think it died and gravity pulled it down. Or I might think a meteor hit it (like the forest in Russia). Or I might think that a passing mudslide made it fall. Or I might think that a large animal accidently hit up against it causing it to topple. Or I might think that the owner of the land cut it down - hoping to make a log cabin out of it one day - and gave up. Or I might think some other natural cause made the tree fall but I can't think what it might be. But not for a moment would it ever cross my mind to think it is on the ground because an invisible, all powerful, diety laid it there... and the same goes for every event in history.

Religious Person: The lord sure made those mountains pretty!

Atheist: No, actually glaciers made them. [northern Illinois]

RP: Well, god made the glaciers.

A: No, extreme amounts of compacted snow did.

RP: Well, god caused the snow.

A: Not really, snow is cause by the drop in atmospheric temperature.

RP: And god made the temperature drop!

A: No really. The Earth's unusual, elliptical orbit caused the earth to move farther from the sun, causing the temperature drop.

RP: Well, you know, god moved the earth!

A: Actually not. The Earth moves in relationship to the sun's gravitational effect as it moves through space.

etc., etc., etc.....

Notice the religious person changed their story 4 times and the atheist did not change the story even once. Who will YOU trust?
Me? I'll take the science any day.

My husband's mother's side of the family are JW. His uncle, who went to "hall" (thier church) 3 times a week just committed a gruesome suicide. I was wondering if his "hall" and family would think he is in hell (do they believe in hell?) or he wont' get into Heaven? How will being JW color thier reactions?
