The Bible says that God is real.

Because God says so?

Have you ever been in a situation where you pray, seek and knock but there is no answer? What can I do? how can I move on? I was in mission field for a while and after I came back to the state, I've been searching for a job because I was thinking that I would go into ministry later so I was looking for job in a meanwhile. I've been searching for a job for past five months but it was hard to find and I was offered like two job but something blocked me from taking it. When I try to talk to my parents about going into ministry that I want, parents are saying "No" and that I should save up money for now. If God seems to be silent on ministry or finding me a job, what can I do? I seem so lost on which direction to go now. What can I do? how can I restore my health? spiritually, phyically, emotinally? how do I know which direction to go if God seems silent on both ways? how can I really restore passion and direction? any suggestion? could you pray for me if you read this? Thank you.

There is this woman at my doctor's office. She wears a full length dress with long sleeves that looks like it's from 1800s. Always bright colors though. She wears like a white hat on her head and and a net around her hair. She's not Amish though cuz she works with computers. I'm from the mid east so I'm not familiar, I'm too embarrassed to ask her personally but curiosity is killing me. It's definitely a religious thing cuz she's always dressed that way.

God is a myth.

only true religious group??

Many different groups ( Watchtower Society, Mormons, Roman Catholics, Unification Church, etc ) claim that they are the only organization that properly represents Jehovah God on earth.

Obviously, not everyone can be right. Each organzation claims to be right and all other organizations are wrong. A group that claims to be God's exclusive channel of communication on this earth should have distinctive doctrines which no other group has.

As Christians, I believe our job is not to defend God or the Bible but to encourage one another and tell of Gods wonderous works. So please share. Thanks

Don't many Baptists follow their pastor's words and head everything they say? Doesn't this make Baptists a personality cult on the local church level?

Rudiments of the Catholic Church take shape in 250 A.D. when the Lapsii (Idol Worshippers) are accepted into churches by some.

Tired of having their faith & baptism rejected by the Cathari, and seeking relief from persecution the Lapsii submit to Emperor Constantine in 325 A.D.

Gregory organizes the Catholic Church as we know at the end of the 6th Century.

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness, 2Thes.2:11,12.

These people missed the 'rapture' that occurred in verse 7 (He who holds down (prevents) lawlessness is taken out of the way (raptured).) And these left behind people will be deceived by Satan's lying wonders. That means they will take the mark of the beast & suffer the conscequences! Rev.14:10,11 They will suffer Gods wrath...& torments...& not rest day or night who worship the beast & his image & whosoever receives the mark of his name.

It seems reasonable to assume that people were aware that something big was going on as the animals were loaded. If not they certainly would have suspected something as the waters begin to rise. Of course there was nothing but bad people left out side the boat and I can not help but wonder why some of the real bad men did not attack the Arch and over power Noah and his crew and throw them over board. Also it is hard to believe that there was not one person on earth at the time other than Noah`s family that believed in God. If such a situation were to arise today all the non believers would start hanging around the boat from the first shower on and they would be calling old Noah good buddy especially the ones from Mississippi.

Luke 6:37 NIV
[Judging Others] [6:37-42pp -- Mt 7:1-5] "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Matthew 7:1 KJV
Judge not, that ye be not judged .

Matthew 6:1 KJV
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 6:2 KJV
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Matthew 6:3 KJV
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth :

Matthew 6:4 KJV
That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly .

I always thought it was because the devil hated god, and this was his means of bothering god. Is there any scripture that supports that or am I way off.

I don't mean "treat people nicer".

I mean, do you have a ritual of any sort? Like do you pray or meditate before bed?

Do you light incense?

Do you intoxicate yourself in any way?

Do you go to confession?

Do you do a rosary?

Do you light candles?

I think it would be interesting to see how others incorporate their spiritual side into their daily routine.
