My fellow blind mice, you may disagree with all I say, it's logical. Nothing in life is more moot, than existence and everything in it. Some believe in it, others deny it; others don't care. It's all irrelevant; it's all deranged, that's existence. I call it "deranged devotion". -Exousia Skotos

My question is to make you think; hopefully your answer will help me evolve.

This has applied for decades, incidentally. Why is it whenever someone decides to make a game with religious overtones, it throws gameplay and creativity out the window? Are there no righteous coders out there? Are all programming geniuses atheist? Or do the companies figure "Eh, grandmas will buy these because they have Biblical scenes on the covers, and give them as gifts to their dismayed grandkids. Why make an effort?"

(If anyone's truly desperate to see a selection of these, I'm sure I could dig up a few reviews)

Where in the Bible does it say that sex outside of marriage is a sin? Why is it wrong if a loving, but unmarried, couple has a sexual relationship? Please cite chapter and verse.

Do you believe that love is the answer? If not, then what is?
Whether one believes in a God or not doesn't mean this world wouldn't be a better place without more love. What's one thing you can do to spread more love and less hate? I love you!
Blessings:)

Or is being able to separate the answer and your own feelings about a person and/or their religious beliefs the "impossible star" for this group?

I've seen a number of answers in the R&S category that have mentioned how sexually repressed Christians are. I'm wondering where and how that idea got started. Is this because of the teachings (and if so- which teachings), or experience, observation or some other reason?

As a lifelong Christian, I personally don't feel sexually repressed. I've read the Bible and didn't really see anything in it that implied that sex in and of itself is bad or evil. (Has anyone read the Song of Solomon recently??) Doing it with someone you're not married to is discouraged (Exodus 20), but other than that, I really didn't find anything that discouraged sex in general, or specified when, how, or why.

he was born during this time on or around Sept 29, 2 bc...give or take a day...but doesn't it make since he will arrive during Harvest time to reap his Children from this world. I believe things are done in a orderly manner and this makes since to me.


FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!

If you are at all familiar with all the major events which God had to coincide with his Appointed Times, then this easily understood. Much of God's eternal plan are consistently fulfilled on his ""SPECIAL DAYS"". Not surprisingly, we find Messiah Yeshua dying on the cross as our PASSOVER lamb on the very day of Pescha (Passover). "He lay in the grave on the Feast of Unleven Bread" and Messiah Yeshua, arose on the Feast of the FIRST FRUITS.''....WOW does this make since or what............Remember the New Testament refers to Yeshua twice as the "First Fruits0 1 Corinthians 15:20

But each in his own Turn: Christ, the First Fruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him will be changed at the last trump.

Is it possible to be a Christian and still believe in evolution, support gay marriage and a woman's right to choose?

I grew up as a Christian, but I have denounced my faith for many reasons. The principles of Christianity were ingrained in me, and I still have a strong sense of God. However, I cannot logically believe in creationism. I was a Microbiology & Cell Structure major in college, and there's just too much evidence against creationism in my eyes.

Also, I strongly believe no woman should be forced to go through with a pregnancy she doesn't truly want to have, regardless of the circumstances.

I'm very conflicted because I do want that closeness with God, but I firmly believe in the above stated things.

Are they any people who share my situation? (Please no links to Christian web sites supporting creationism/pro-life.)

And in the cult each of my members will have a numerological name. Each Letter In The English Alphabet will Equal A Number. And they will take each letter of there name and have it correspond with the Alphabet numerical values. But i want to have a set pattern and it cant be anything to simple such as

A=1
B=2
C=3
D-4
E-5

You see it cant be simple like that it must be complex and have a set pattern. What should the code be ?

If not, why are you paying for a sin that you didn't commit? Why are women, in particular, paying for the "sin" that Eve committed?

How do you spiritually recharge and renew you positive attitude? I prefer meditation complete with candlelight and soft Catholic music or classical music.
Also please pick a "flower" to send to our Pangel in a "Spiritual Bouquet" I am sending her a Purple and Yello Iris.

In his final instruction to the disciples, Jesus said that both belief and baptism are necessary for salvation:

Mark 16:16: He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

Jesus stated this requirement even more strongly, though with some ambiguity for modern readers, in his dialogue with Nicodemus:

John 3:5: Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit."

Early Christians always identified this verse with baptism, recognizing that we are born again and receive new life through water baptism—a fact that is supported elsewhere in Scripture (Rom. 6:3–4; Col. 2:12–13; Titus 3:5).
