I know someone is going to report me for this (they always do) but I found a GREAT site with Mp3 files:

I just wanted to share that with Catholics, or anyone else who may be interested.

Golden Pyramid with a square base.....Just like a tabernacle.......which means tent,.....and another discription in the bible would be a MOUNTAIN of the Lord......It just makes me wonder because a pyramids base is square like New Jerusalem and it being discribed as a MOUNTAIN and a TABERNACLE........WHICH both are Triangular.........and we must consider the the Great Pyramide of GIZA THAT HAS A CHAmBER WITH THE DIMENTIONS like THE ARK OF THE COVENANT......Some might think i'm off my rocker.....but there are many that belive as what i discribed......The question is what do you think......I mean other then my sanity?

I had one early this morning.

Jesus in His Glory with countless Saints & Angels. The sky was lighted up.

Now I can understand why those on the earth will moan. Because they aren't with Him.

I asked God in prayer a bit about this. And Jesus said that I am going to see the King soon.

What do you think you will do or feel when you stand before the King?

It never ceases to amaze me how some people in life seems to be taking things so seriously that they never stop to consider the one thing that is most important......

Happy Day and Blessed Be!

Don't you think they should compete for non-believers and whoever makes the best offer wins? You know, kinda like that commercial where banks compete with each other to give you a loan.

LOL

What do you think?

According to the Bible - the gospels, Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law of ~ a cold/fever. This means Peter was married.

Where is St. Peter's wife buried?

I'm only speaking about the sin of coveting. Not any other sin you think stripping is. And no i'm not a stripper. So what's your opinion, based on your Bible knowledge. And remember it's a sin to make up your own interpretations so i'm NOT invoking that sin on you. If you don't know the Bible's thought on this, save us from false information by not responding. In Jesus's name. 1*Luv

I see shadows in my home.I do not own any pets. I would like to know what this symbolizes. Also my son kept running to the same corner laughing and babbling as if he was talking to someone or something. I know this sounds a bit out therebut I'd like serious answers as I am a concerned mother. Anything would be of help. Thank you.

Pat Robertson, the man behind the infamous 700 CLUB.
He is now endorsing who I consider to be the worse
Republican ever for our time. Mayor Rudy Giuliani. I
think we all know who he is. Former mayor of NYC.
Now he is being sponsored by Patrick Robertson, a
so called Christian..... I think he is not exactly who he
says he is. He might as well vote Democrat, and quit
hijacking the Christian Right ! Because that is what he
is doing, and the Church should stand up against this
outrageous democracy. Cause that is what they think
it is. This is not 2004. If you are a Christian, then you
should be against this, too. So what do you think ?
Is Pat Robertson a hypocrite ? Best answer wins.

How do you feel about people making a profit on the Bible (selling Bibles in Christian Book Stores) and other 'Christian' products?

Do you think that the people profiting are actually Christians themselves?

Who's having the last laugh?

Just curious what you people think.

(For reference I'm not a Christian)

This is a reply that I got from a medical doctor, to a question concerning a Jehovah's Witness mother who died and left behind 2 new born baby girls after delivery.

The Watchtower pints nonsense about how Blood is not necessary. This is a reply from a real doctor, not a publishing company.....Will you listen now?
I'm a doctor and have found myself in the appalling situation of trying to save a life where the patient refuses blood because they are a JW. If they have signed a form there's nothing we can do, but if it's a child ie if the parent refuses to allow their child a life saving transfusion, we can overrule them.

They get their anti transfusion beliefs as follows:


They cite four biblical texts (Genesis 9:4, Leviticus 17:12-14, Acts 15:29 and Acts 21:25). They say these mean that blood, the life-force, belongs to God and is not there for human use. They believe it a sin to eat not just black pudding but also to eat the flesh of animals that have not been properly bled.

And they extend the ban to transfusions. They won't even allow someone's blood to be stored before an operation and then used after it to replace their own blood loss. Blood is not to be stored; it is to be poured out and returned to God. Some JWs even reject dialysis or cell salvage on these grounds. Some will not accept red cells, white cells, platelets or plasma, but accept "fractions" made from these components.

There is a philosophical problem here. When a substance is broken down into components does the original remain? Some 90-96 per cent of blood plasma consists of water. The remainder is albumin, globulins, fibrinogen and coagulation factors. JWs say these may be used, according to conscience, but only if taken separately. Opponents say is like outlawing a ham and cheese sandwich but allowing the eating of bread, ham and cheese separately.

They are criticised for other inconsistencies. Blood fraction products are only available because of blood donation – a practice JWs condemned as unethical.

Many JWs still carry a signed and witnessed advance directive card absolutely refusing blood in the event of an accident. And the church's website still carries alarmist material about the dangers of transfusions in transmitting Aids, Lyme Disease and other conditions. It also exaggerates the effectiveness of alternative non-blood medical therapies.

What do doctors think?

The British Association of Anaesthetists guidelines insist that the wishes of the patient must normally be paramount. US doctors take a similar view; they know giving blood to someone who does not want it could get them sued – one of the busiest trauma hospitals in Florida even has a blanket policy of refusing to treat JWs.

Other countries, like France, take a more dirigiste view. And a landmark case in Dublin recently ruled that doctors were right to give a woman blood during childbirth because the right of her child to have a mother over-ruled her own right to refuse the blood.

There are even more subtle dilemmas to come. One asks whether doctors are obliged to give chemotherapy, which is normally accompanied by a blood transfusion, to patients who insist on having it without the blood, without which it is highly likely to fail. As medicine advances things are likely to get more, rather than less, tricky.

One more thing. Their literal interpretation of the Bible allows them (not unlike the Catholic church) to keep child abuse secret: Not good. They take Deuteronomy 19:15 literally, which demands two witnesses to a crime (not easy in cases of abuse). And they cite 1 Corinthians 6:1-11 – "Does anyone of you that has a case against the other dare to go to court before unrighteous men, and not before the holy ones?" – to justify trying to deal with criminals with courts of elders rather than courts of law. A Panorama investigation reported they have an internal list of 23,720 reported abusers which they keep private. Studies in the US suggest they have proportionally four times more sexual assaults on children than the Catholic Church.

Any religion which literally interprets the Bible, and keeps its doings secret can be a cause of harm in my view. And the idea that a woman can die leaving twins, motherless because of an obscure text in the Bible appals me as a doctor and a human being.

I'm so angry. My father was injured in the war and some of his closest friends were killed. How can God let this happen? They go to church every Sunday except while deployed (they cannot get to a Christian church).

...of seeing things...and accepting life just the way it is...?

2007-11-08 01:54:51 · 8 answers · asked by Aquamarine 5

according to the bible, it's a sin for a man to spill his seed anytime other than when engaged in intercourse with a woman, because it's killing all of the would be babies.

1) is it a sin for a woman to masturbate, because this has nothing to do with preventing life from starting?

2) is menstration a sin, because it is the act of discarding unfertalized eggs, therefore preventing a life from starting?

i asked this yesterday but some people found it offensive and got it deleted, which is silly, so i'm asking it again because i didn't get to read all of the answers.

According to a person looking out from the outside. Adam and Eve sinned. they asked for forgiveness but they didnt get any. they then got sent to earth to be punished for their sin and God waited many moons before sending in the ONLY source of salvation for mankind.

So: my question is: How is God seen as merciful when the only source of salvation for mankind came AGES after Adam and Eve?

And how is God a being of Mercy if Jesus was the only person who could ask for forgiveness on behalf of mankind?

Have you ever read Psalms 107? I read that the other night and man what a convicting Psalms. Notice when these people cried out to God and look at how he wished they would praise him. They call out three times, and three times he said, Oh that men would praise him.
