Why do some denominations believe that a baby can be saved via baptism when the bible clearly states that you must believe in order to be saved?

Do you pray, or engage in an activity similar to prayer? When you connect to your deity/deities, what does that feel like?

I am very much a christian and follow the lord. However my husband does not. He has lied to me many times and even shoved my bible at me strikeing me in the chest and called me a skank. He does not live like a christian man and goes to church and acting like he does. The pastor called him out one night saying the reason his home is the way it is is because of the way he is living. My husband after that said he would be a better husband it lst a day and he is right back to being cold and hurful. I have not slept next to him for the past month and all I hear from him is your not being a wife because I do not sleep in the same bed. How can I we have been married two months ande I found out while we where dateing he was emailing woman asking to see them in thongs and while we where ingaged he was looking up sex sights. He is up and down am I wrong for pulling away and sleeping on the couch because his behavior is not the way of the lord?

It is amazing; they come up with their dogma first then try to justify it against the Bible whereas Christians get their dogma from the Bible.

My dad was reared Catholic and his parents freaked out on him when he bought a Bible; and it was a Catholic Bible!

There seems to be a great deal of misunderstanding, or even downright ignorance, of what the word "theory" means when scientists talk about the Theory of Evolution. It might explain why so many Christians are so unjustifiably dismissive of evolution when they describe it as "just a theory". As someone much wiser than myself once put it, "Words mean things"; and before we can have any meaningful discussion, we must first make sure we're speaking the same language.

So, how about it? Are you up to snuff on your basic scientific terminology?

In the 1960s, there was a movement afoot with people saying "God is dead."
Would you believe that Satan is dead?
The Book of Revelations tells us that Satan is to be hurled into the lake of fire and killed.
Would you believe that that has occurred? How would you know it has occurred?
If a prophet told you that there has been an upheaval on the dark side and nothing there is the same, would you believe it?

if you discount the reliability of carbon dating (as you must do for creationist positions to make any sense at all) then the only real objection to the turin shroud disappears.

if creation science prove anything at all, it proves that the turin shroud is genuine, and that the roman catholic church is the one true church.

so why aren't all creation scientists roman catholics? (apart from the fact that the catholic church won't admit them that is).

it wouldn't be because they are too confused / insincere / dishonest to work out the full implication of their own position - would it?

In zen what does it mean when it is said that the world and everything in it is interconnected. When the "natural world" is referenced, what does that mean.

I do sympathize with people who call them selves Atheist because of the religious biggots who gave them the reasons not to learn the reality about who the KREATOR iz (is) to all kreation. The religious teachings about God, Jesus, the KJV Bible iz so confusing at times that are not convincing or pratical to many people. Perhaps, that iz why people do not believe the pagan, xenophobic (racist), blind arguementative teachings of Christian fanatics. Who in their rightful mind would accept the religious con-cept that God iz a old white man with white beard in the sky knowing all things but yet questioning all things, geting pist off at his so called creation by stating in Genesis 6:7 "And the LORD said, I will destroy man...for it repented me that I have made man." Weren't we told that sinners need to repent? I kan stand why Atheists would not believe in this white man's God, for if God iz white then Blacks would not be here. There'r more Atheists in Christian Nations than other Nations.
