were thrown out of the Garden of Eden? I understand why you think 6,000 years of human existence since then is important. But has that time already come, or is it future?

Last night, I replied to a question asking what the different was between Christianity and a cult and I replied that by definition, Christianity IS a cult.

Below is the definition according to Webster's. I'd like Christians to tell me how Christianity does NOT fit the first two definitions.

1: formal religious veneration : worship
2: a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also : its body of adherents
3: a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious; also : its body of adherents
4: a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator
5 a: great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book); especially : such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad b: the object of such devotion

The etymology, also from Webster's: Etymology: French & Latin; French culte, from Latin cultus care, adoration, from colere to cultivate
Date: 1617

I didn't want a bunch of strangers answering my question. I'd much rather hear from people I know.

Anyway, my husband was told this by someone in his unit (we're in Germany, for those who don't know). Is it true?

Info: Assassin's Creed is a video game.

I believe in God, and call it naivity or whatever you choose, however, I have yet to hear someone personally state that they absolutely, unequivocally do not believe in the existence of God, a higher power or deity of some sort. I'm truly respectfully interested in finding if this is true that there are people who do not believe. Thanks for your sharing.

For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her cover her head.
1 Corinthians 11:6

I have never seen a Christian woman cover her hair, but the Bible says they should?

If this is true, I think Christians should leave Muslim women that wear the Hijab alone.

Assume we do not know what the truth about religion and the existance of God is.
so which person is better?
1. Someone who really seeks the truth but gets lost and chooses the wrong option (wrong religion).
2. Someone who just follows his/her parents religion, that is the true religion, but does not even know why he/her is doing it. He or she does not care.

Isn't great that we live in a country where people can degrade, mock, insult, etc... my God. I mean, no one has been executed or no riots have taken the lives of thousands. We just simply make fun of the Lord Our God. I'm not saying to go start bloody death riots, but people, come on!!! I know that most of you out there are not Christians, but why do we have to mock every religion. Can't we just leave all religions out of movies. I can't shove God down everyone's throat, but they shouldn't curse my God. Sorry non beleivers, but if we continue down this road, our country will just get worse. We are the chosen country, but He will only put up with so much !!! Movies have been getting a little carried away. The farther the movies go, the worse our imaginations will become. This world is our chidren's backyard. Is this the yard you want your kids and grandkids to play in? Any opinions that do NOT insult my God please !!!

Why didn't he just send noah out on a mission preaching the "good news" to everyone?

Was he unable to convert the "sinners", so he resorted to killing them and their children?

I posted a previous question about really not looking forward to my fiance's christmas party, I have some serious issues with his boss (and if I went into detail you would understand why). I just need to know how best to handle the situation because I will have to deal with him for the weekend...
How do you deal with someone you strongly dislike when you have to be around them for 2 days?
Oh and don't worry, my fiance completely understands my position in this, he is trying to be as supportive as possible but he feels obligated to attend the 2 day event with his boss.

If so, would such a woman go to Hell?

Are there any Biblical examples of a woman who had a child with a father that was not her husband yet the woman is still accepted as a paragon of morality? If so, how does one explain this apparent contradiction?

Besides the atheists who will say " Yeah, I thought he was real"

I mean people who actually care. For example, I thought God had a long beard with a cool crown, and he was some muscular white dude with great teeth!
