Christians - Do you hate your family and your life?

Bible (King James Version)

Let me quote Luke 14: 26-[If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.]

Let’s state a ground rule here that “hate” does not mean “less love”.

So, do you Christians hate your life and your families? It seems that if you want to follow Christ you have to hate your families and your life. It says it plain as day!

I know that these problems were not discussed in Sunday school.

So, I know it will take awhile to come-up with the “answers”. Consult your clergy if you like. I await your answers.

"And God said, 'Let there be light' and there was light, but the Electricity Board said He would have to wait until Thursday to be connected."

I think God is full of it don't you?

Somebody told me they were or at least people are trying to revive them. I'm a student of mysticism and I'm wondering what type of mystical element they had/have - how abstract they were in their concepts,for example.

I'd like to begin meditating at home. I'm still in the "beginner" stage and could really use all the peace and quiet I can get while I do this. However, my family is very loud. We have a toddler living in the home and we all know how noisy children can be.

Should I just try to tune their noise out and close myself up in my bedroom while I meditate?

Seems that some atheists even Dawkins are using the term "cultural christians", "cultural Jewish", "cultural Muslim", etc. So take the faith out of it, God, and Allah out of the equation and an atheists can be come a christian....no a "cultural christian".

Are there certain aspects about faith that can be a "creature of habit" type of thing? Yes. Yet, a person who walks with God, will know the difference between the ordinary and what faith in God can do for them in their lives.

So atheists can attempt to make faith and God a secular concept, whatever you do have to do swallow the pill. There is more to being a christian, jew, and muslim, adding "cultural" in the front of it, isn't it.

I'm not even religious. I mean I don't belong to a religion. Yet I can speak in tongues. It only happens when I'm in extreme pain. Then the pain goes away.

What is the whole thing about. I use to do it when I was a 10. My parents told me that it was evil.

Any religious people know what's it's about?

For all of you mean folks. Don't waste your time or my eyes having to read "Go to a psychiatrist. Or get help." Just don't post if you have something mean to say.Ok?

I have been gone a few days, and it is very clear that badong is a troll that votes on his on answers to get best answer while these questions are in voting, if you do not know the answer, DO NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION!
To Badong, your answer to this question was not at all what it should have been,
To Ernest and Lone Ranger your answer were true and from God, so sorry i wasn't here to pick best answer, my feelings are that satan and his workers should leave R/S section forever!!!

I don't get it. I'm reading the Harry Potter books right now: just getting through Chamber of Secrets. It's pretty darn good. J.K. Rowling's got a good imagination...way better than any of you skeptics who think Harry Potter worships Satan.

What's so bad about any of it? Yeah, one guy drinks unicorn's blood. Yeah, they make POTIONS, and use CAULDRONS, and all your stupid little "Satanic" red alerts. Any kid can tell the difference between fact and fiction. Any kid can find Harry Potter as much as a fairy tale or story. Anyone can find this harmless entertainment, and yet I don't see why some people find this so sinful.

I'm a Christian. I believe in God, so what's the big deal with the Harry Potter books? A few simplistic spell names, dark magic, ghosts and "oooh, look at the holy bible of Satan." Most people think that's true in my old true. Then again that's what they say about heavy metal. They're wrong.

I'm done on my soapbox. Go ahead. Gimme a valid answer.

to your own experience/thoughts...what do you feel a religious person is and how do they act

my school is very hypocritical and judgemental and ive had enough of them telling me how to live my life all because they dont feel im living it the right way

in my last question i made religious people out to be stupid and hypocritical. and im sorry

i know not all of them are and i know non-rel people are too, but the thing is, non-rel people dont walk around saying they are the best people on the earth. [well yehh some arrogant bastards do but each to their own] but some rel people do, and then they act all innocent and churchly while they sit there and judge the heart out of you. and i know this is wrong.

i once got kicked out of R.E class for telling the teacher god probly excepts me for not going to church everyday, so why cant you
and then kicked out of science class for having a go at the teacher for answerin a students question with thats the way god made it..

I know of an avowed (not loudly, but pretty well avowed) atheist who fell on tough times. Right in front of me (a Christian) he laments that God let this happen to him. Now I also know of a handful of non-believers (though not necessarily full blown atheists) who practice similarly. They Profess no particular faith, or a faith contrary to God, until the mess hits the fan, then suddenly they speak of God working against them.

So here is the core question; do atheists really believe in no God, or are they just antagonists of the true God who choose to battle him for irrational reasons?

was shocked and dismayed at the answers. I asked about using credit for tithing or perhaps having an atm in the lobby... knowing the bible as I do... it would be absurd to have these things but lo and behold... it already happens... so then my question is, considering what jesus did to the money changers in the temple, what do you think he would do to your credit readers and atms?
Or is this another bible story convieniently forgotten?

Do you agree that the soul is only the product of a PHYSICAL brain, and cannot exist independently?
