this question came out of nowhere to me yesterday...
Why do you think Jesus was sent to Israel out of all the places on earth? Why there? why in the middle east??
why not from a black (no offense) family? or an asian family?
Anyone have any theories?

There is a second question coming shortly but I first wanted to see what the understanding and opinions were on this topic?

I have a question for Jews. If I was a Jew, I think I would feel as though billions of people in the world had hijacked my religion. According to Abrahamaic tradtion, God's covenant was with Jews. Others have adopted the Jewish writings, added to them and created their own religions all stemming from God's covenant with the Jews. To make matters worse, these "Jew" wannabees (use the Jewish scripture for their own religion), believe the Jews are wrong and their religion, developed primarily from Judaism, is the correct one.

Is this not a huge insult to Jews or am I seeing it all wrong here?

Do you feel that there is something lost in the translation?
If so, do you think, that as language changes and evolves, will more of the original meaning become lost in the future?

I was brought up in christianity, but now I find it very difficult to believe. What do I do? It seems like noone around me has any doubts. But I have a hard time believing any of it.

I myself believe in God, and that He created us.
If you don't believe in God, then how do you think life all began? I'm not trying to question what you believe... I'm just curious.

Does God really want people to pluck out their eyeballs, or is he really just trying to tell you how bad sin is.

Has anyone ever plucked out an eyeball in the last 2000 years?

Is it okay with you that there is no heaven? That we only get 80 some years and then its over? Do you wish that there WAS a real heaven so that we could be with our loved ones forever? I've just always wondered if non-believers wish there was something to believe in... I believe in God but I question myself all the time. I know I won't care either way when I'm dead but I'd like to think and hope that there is a Heaven... let me know your thoughts.

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm a baby Christian, and I'm recovering from SI, trying very hard, and I would like to know if anyone knows of any scripture that could help or if there's any that addresses this kind of thing.

Please, no rude answers. I'm asking for honest help.

Because I want to say it here.
Here it is:

Hi!!! Today, I like so totally found a dead rat in my toilet! How it got there, I don't know, but I do have my suspicions. See, we have this one kid here at this orphanage that will eat anything!! And when I say anything, I mean anything, that boy is sticking the oddest things down his throat! But, besides that, my day went pretty well!! How about yours?

We have done cultural presentations in school that dealt with special healthcare considerations for those of a different culture (Chinese, Korean, American Indian, etc.) but did not focus at all on cultural practices based on religion. My question is, according to my understanding, the sacred garments cannot be taken off by anyone who is not at the same level in the church as the person wearing them (not sure what this means either), but in the event of a medical emergency when no such person was present, what would the best course of action be if the person needed a procedure done that required removing the garments? Also, how would the average person know the significance of the garments, is there some way of notifying other people that they are not to remove the garments?

If you call yourself a Christian even though you don't believe everything in the bible, then what do you call those who believe the parts that you don't believe?

Why/why not?
How would you know that God did/didn't command her to do that?

Note: offerings do not always have anything to do with sin.
