Banning nativity scenes from downtown these days seems to be a growing menace to our freedoms in this nation. I would like to ask you, my friends at YA - would there be any fuss and banning if folks put out menorahs ?? Would there be any fuss and banning of other folk's religious symbols? What is this huge animosity to Christ's birth being displayed in its symbolism? Folks who love the Christmas season think it is okay to put santa claus and reindeer and colored lights all over the city !!! If THEY can do this, why can't Christians have THEIR symbolism??? Does this sound like a double standard to you ?? ??? ????

Have any of you ever read Leviticus 11? I'm sure many have, I was just reading it yesterday.
I don't think there is any time in that entire chapter that it was the least bit unclear, that we are only supposed to eat certain animals.

I am a christian, but I follow the food laws.

I know I know I know I know...

The verse that says "don't make unclean what I have made clean..."
Your preachers and pastors preach on that one for days don't they...
Do they ever read the rest of the chapter?
That particular saying is in a dream, yes it is about animals, but the story is about preaching to the gentiles, which were formerly thought of as unclean. So, if he was using say a metaphore of sorts, and what they had previously been talking about was the gentiles, and the next thing they do is go preach to the gentiles, I don't think that verse had anything to do with food. All God's laws are still in place!

Tell me what you think... :)

I think it was Einstein who once said that the most brilliant man who ever lived possessed about 3% of the total knowledge of the world. Therefore us regular folks probably possess about 2%.

Isn't it possible that in the 98% you don't know there exists a God? Sorry to say but you will NEVER possess enough knowledge to come to the conclusion there is no God. Having said that, isn't it clear that atheism is intellectual arrogance and dishonesty?

If you claimed to be agnostic at least thats honest and I can respect that. As for me, in my 2% God has made it quite clear that he exists through overwhelming evidence in the Bible and in my life. Also see 'Evidence That Demands A Verdict' by Josh McDowell.

I have heard a few times that the Bible says that evangelism has to spread all over the world before the second coming can happen. That everyone has to hear the Word. Although, this makes sense, I can't recall the scripture. I heard Matthew 28, but I don't see it in that passage, it just states to go throughout baptizing the people. So, does anyone know the verse?

Everyone asks, "what church do you go to?" Well, what if you are the minister of a church....the one who is doing the preaching rather than listening. How do you worship the Lord?

is it because they are more/less intelligent, more/less moral, more indoctrinated, more old fashioned, or more/less something I didn't think of?

evidence in the bible prove ortherwise. many christians like the idea because they dont want anything call suffering. but this thing will happen to them that will be alive at the time before the second coming of christ matt. 24:29, rev. 20 :1-7. 2 thess. 2: 1-10 all this scriptures agree with each other that tribulation must be, before rapture. how is it then that christains can assume becouse they refuse a part of the bible that God will then change His programme to suit them? i want some one to tell me something i did not see , with proofs not assumtions or feelings.

... is written by pastors or priests, who obviously are supposed to have faith? And not by non-involved scientists?


While some other "beliefs" (I use this term loosely) - like astrology and ghosts - can enjoy constructive literature from scientists who don't believe as well as "believers"?

(and yes, there *is* constructive literature about both those topics...)


Forgive my seeming naivity, but I am trying to make a point.

If not, read it.

If so, your thought?

A prayer is asking Gods to intervene in your life, personally communicating with Gods regarding things you cannot achieve yourself. A prayer can be for help, guidance, protection, intercession, thanks etc. However the point is that a prayer is relying on the power of Gods to affect and make changes in your life.

A spell is a set of words, incantation or formula with magical potency. A spell is using the magical power possessed within the wizard or witch to bring about the change or desired effect. Magic comes from within so there is no need to appeal to Gods in order to practice magic; cast spells.

I myself am religious, I know that there is not a spell for everything and sometimes must rely on The Gods to provide, however that does not mean that all wizards are religious. Prayers are religious and spells are magical. The only similarity I see is that prayers & spells can be used for varying reasons.

Why then are they seen as being similar when there are clear differences?

How can one sin if they have no belief that God is real? I truly understand morals and values as humans. I believe we all have the ability to do good or do harm, But I do not believe that there is a God out there that is sitting back counting up our failures and even if there was a possibility of a judging God would that not take away from who Christians say God is? If the Christian God is real did he not set the human race up to fail and if so why would he send anyone to hell because he failed at making us right to start with?
