Matt 24:37-44
What i think this means is God said he will come at the end of time. He could come at this very moment or tomorrow. No one knows. But all we can do is be prepared.Am I right? What can we do to be prepared? Help me please!

Have you found that being on R&S and running into so many oppsite views (and sometimes hateful) has made your belief stronger or weaker?

For me its been made stronger

....if Eve let Sin into the world by eating an apple, this tasty fruit would be banned by God.

Is there a specific type of apple that is forbidden? If not, then did everyone forget that this was the first temptation? Coveting women, goods, etc is a sin, but doing exactly what caused the first sin is considered fine?

Buddhism appeals to me. I'm Taoist now; pretty much Buddhist without all the rituals and reincarnation. So I'd like to ask some Buddhists some questions about exactly what do they say about:

a) the creation of the universe?
b) if one being reincarnates from another, why are there more lives now then there used to be?
c) the end of the universe?
d) cloning/genetic research?

Thank you! Please include links!

I just wanted to know what most people think happens after you die

This is an example of the kinds of answers that church folks come up with on here.

I was simply asking whether God, being perfect, just decided not to bother creating humans and animals perfect -- or, whether he is imperfect and just created them to the best of his ability.

In asking this question, I assumed that people are aware that humans are not perfect; so I was trying to find out how church folks think about that -- their ways of dealing with the fact that a perfect god created imperfect humans; it was not about the Bible per se.

Yet, when I do ask a question about the Bible, I generally find they don't know the Bible well.

So what's the point of answering me by telling me to read the Bible before even asking? Why don't they read their own Bibles?

(I would encourage all your church folks to study your Bibles -- but beware: I was taking Bible classes all through high school and, by age 16, was diagnosed in the early stages of atheism.)

I am a 13 year old girl who is in fact a muslim.
My mother has told me that those who don't listen to music are going to be a higher level in heaven then those who do. I don't know if thats true but...
She used to listen to indian/pakistani music. Then stopped. She decided to change her ways and instead of listening to sharu khan(idk that many singers lol ) she listens to suras and stuff. But we found their is islamic music. its good cuz it makes people attracted to it , but its bad cuz it still is music.


I'm just so confused are we allowed to listen to any kind of music?Islamic or not?
Are we allowed to dance???
Because people do at wedding. my mom said people can do it for weddings cuz it expresses joy and happyness. bu8t my mom still tells me not to..........

Some say you just have to believe in Jesus. But there seems to be more to it than that.

For example:
You have to be Republican

against women's rights

against gay marriage.

Against abortion, yet FOR the death penalty..

You can't believe in ghosts, EXCEPT the holy ghost

You can't believe in astrology, or aliens on other planets, BUT you are supposed to believe God made Everything (including stars and planets) for a reason.

You are supposed to believe that God is the master of your life, BUT you are also supposed to believe in freewill.

You are supposed to believe that when people die they go to a wonderful Heaven, BUT when someone you know dies you are supposed to cry like you will never see them again.

You are supposed to believe that proof of God is in creation, BUT you are also supposed to believe in God by faith only.

You are supposed to believe in one God only BUT you are also supposed to believe that other religions follow a different God.

Can be something big or small.

Can also be something you had great feelings about, and your feelings were changed.

my roommate has kids ranging from 4 to 13, i have one who is 2 1/2 and she is with me 2 weeks at a time. i buy our own food and toiletries, and keep them separate. i went shopping today and as i was putting my groceries away i found all of the snacks and crackers my daughter likes are gone. just empty packages put back on the shelf. i asked the kids about it and they totally denied it, but i don't think it's my roommate. i am livid about this, i feel it's disrespectful. how would you handle this? or do you think i'm overreacting? i asked in another section but no one's gonna see it there.....
