In recent news, a young mom died through blood loss adter giving birth to twins.
If you are a Jehovahs Witness, imagine you have just given birth, and need a blood transfusion, would you die, or accept the blood, and see your children grow up?
Another thing, would you allow YOUR child to receive a blood transfusion that would save their life, or let them die in the name of Jehovah?
Answer both qu's please..thankyou <3

researching the beliefs of muslims and christians, i have found the muslim belief is terribly off. the sun doesnt sink in a muddy swamp. while the bible has many scientific discoveries to back it up. So if the bible keeps being strong in truth what reasons do muslims follow their belief for besides been brought up with that religon. I could name dozens of proof for the bible and none for the muslim faith.

Why do you put the name Jehovah in the NT? It is not included once in the NT in the Greek texts. Every book in the NT was originally written in Greek as far as can be proven. There is some speculation about Matthew but even it is assumed by most to have been written in Greek. So why put the name Jehovah in the NT when it is not there in the original texts?

I am not asking about Jehovah being translated as Lord in the OT. So if you could avoid that I would appreciate it.

I am a catholic and I have always wondered what Atheists believe is going to happen to them after they die. I think I would be pretty pissed off if I were atheist because I would think I only have about 75 years to live and then nothing after that. I respect Atheist beliefs and please dont insult my beliefs like the other times I have asked questions about atheism to Atheists. (only a few of them insulted me, not all) I respect you Atheists and please show me that same respect.

The world today revolves around people opinions and choices that they make. My dad opinion on his religion will never change. He is so stubborn , not willing to open up , and not wanting to listen to other people perspective of views. He thinks his religion is the best and doesn’t want to know about anything other people believe. He read the bible and believe everything in it. I am more an open minded girl. I agree with my dad in the fact that we all should read the bible, but I also believe that people can believe what makes them happy and they should feel comfortable with their religion. Therefore, people shouldn’t be forced to believe in something. They should be able to find out by them selves what’s right and what’s wrong by them educating themselves. I look at different religions to see what the differences are.

I know you atheists get wet over this THEORY but I got to say do you not see the glaring holes? Evolution is fuled by random chance mutations? No? Well why are all of the worlds species so clean cut? Did they all just randomly happen to mutate something useful EVERY SINGLE TIME because for such hit and miss process I don't see alot of strange creatures who are carrying around strange variable mutations. There are absolutlely no signs of progression between species. I know you think there are but if you use your brains your would mabye ask yourselves why we don't seem to be continuing to evolve. And if you say "oh you dumbass it is a very slow and gradual process" then why don't the species reflect this. If evolution were true there would be no possiblity for disinction because just about every mutant would produce offspring and there would be a great amount of examples of this gradual process. But as I said the lines between species are too clearly defined .

If you read in the KJV or any version that has verse 37 you can see that it is meant to go with verses 36 and 38. Also verse 37 it is in the NIV, it is in the footnotes.
36And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
<<<<>>>>>>>
37And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
>>>>>This is how the eunuch responded after he said he believed Jesus was the son of God>>>>>
38And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

OK, we've all seen so many believers say "so and so" are not "true" Christians, even though they say they are.

So what is your criteria? How do you know who a "true" Christian is?

If no one agrees on the same criteria, how can we trust anyone to judge anyone else?

Should we rely on the opinion of the believer?

Should we go with consensus?

Thoughts?

Where in the Bible does it say the gifts of the Holy Spirit are not for today? I can't seem to find it. All I see is that the Holy Spirit will abide with us forever. So why do people try and claim the gifts have ceased?

John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

Christmas is hardly about Jesus.. The truth is complicated, "Christmas." "Christmas" as "Christ's Mass," the celebration of Christ's birthday, originated when the Roman Catholic Church decided to consecrate pagan traditions. The Church wanted to convert the pagans of Europe to Christianity, and as a way of doing so, they established a Christian religious meaning to the important and popular celebration of the winter solstice. They chose the birth of Christ because it echoed pagan attributes of the holiday, which celebrated, amongst other things, the rebirth of the Sun. ["rebirth of Sun"/"birth of Son," get it?]. The truth is that, before then, Christians didn't really celebrate Christ's birth; it was his death and resurrection that were supremely important, and his birth was a minor point without a fixed celebration. Jesus if he did exist which there is no evidence he did, but he may have. It's certain though that Jesus ''wasn't'' born on December 25. In fact, the details in the Bible clearly point to his being born in the spring. Placing the holiday of December 25 was a direct attempt to co-opt solstice traditions

First of all there was NO VOWELS in the original language. Second the word GOD is NOWHERE IN THE BIBLE. Now the words Elohim, and other forms of EL,Jehovah, Yehveh, Adonia, I AM, LORD, and Jesus Christ is in the Bible. Last of all the Jews said Yehweh but it was always spelt YHVH. The context of the writings and oral tradition dictated the vowel sounds. Any body that understands the ancient Hebrew language will agree with me. What do you think?

I am not Christian, but this one guy I debated with told me of his past experiences that made him transform into a fundy. He mentioned that "God revealed himself to him." This must be a common phenomenon because I have heard other people tell me that too. Maybe I should convert to being Christian, then God will reveal himself to me. I wonder, is he going to talk to me in my dreams? hmmm....maybe he will make me fly?

I wonder what all these fundies are experiencing.

hmmmmmmmmmmm...So, how did God reveal himself to YOU?

This question has popped in my mind more than once. There are lots of Christian-themed songs from non-Christian bands out there and I was curious to know if any of you had any favorites.

Mine happens to be "Savin' Me" by Nickelback. The lyrics are incredibly powerful.

It really doesnt matter what traditions were incorporated to arrive to the holiday that it is today. Bottom line is, no matter what the history or the tradition, Christmas is meant to be a celebration of the birth of Christ nowadays. Many people choose to ignore that point and just stick to the secular points of christmas, which is fine, but to try to say christmas is a pagan holiday or its really some other kind of holiday is silly because as it stands today Christmas is meant to represent the birth of Christ.
I could care less how halloween started. It is now just a fun day to dress up and get candy. Does it really matter how and why Christmas started?
