anyone?

jesus(if he ever existed)would have followed the jewish faith and preached so,he had no intention of changing the status quo, just for people to get back to the jewish ways,which if you read some of the laws of the jews (some 600 plus)in there you will find what christians call their ways,and please dont quote the new testament as he would not have known that book as it was written by people who came later .

Why would someone come on R&S and block people for giving answers you don't like. Could some ones life be pathetic that they only want answers that say "Yes you right". I always welcome opposing view points and some times give them best answer. So why ask a question if the only answer you want is some one to repeat your own opinion.

The devil could have said those things: like homosexuals should be put to death and other hateful things. How can you believe that this are the words of good? Have Jesus ( who I consider a loving and forgiving person ) ever referred to those writhings? Are you sure it is the same religion? I just mean that there must be something itching in your mind if you consider yourself a good person.

I checked myself and made some corrections to spelling and use of terms, thank you. (I'm so glad this is still my incubation period.) The point stands:

Earth estimated population: 6,200,000,000/1 = 6,200,000,000.

God is the one, we are the others and back to the one. One is the operative number and need not be manipulated further. This shows how small one can be "divvied up", as in our case.


I'll use any means necessary to cause you to correct the illusion of separateness before it hits us like wall of water.

Love to all.

Dear religious people:

Why do you come to a website to ask questions? Why are all of the answers not in your Holy Book(s) and what makes you think other mere mortals will have the answers.

And when did asking God stop working?

Do you ever think "Maybe there is something to all that crap they rant on about since they're willing to risk an eternity in 'hell' for it."?

Luk 14:26 If any [man] come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

why do "christians" do the christmas thing?

christmas strengthens family bonds. therefore, it is an antichrist.

so, how many christians are going to take up their cross and stop celebrating christmas and how many are going to be hypocrites and spend the "holiday" with loved ones?

Mat 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.


Mat 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.



what christian has the faith to do as jesus commands and what christians will deny him for the sake of family tradition?

Why is "God is my co-pilot" an amusing statement about your faith, but "God is my helper monkey" is offensive?

Rather your a believer in either or not

Pretend you have only the choice between going to heaven or being reincarnated. Which would you choose?
And you don't get to pick what you will be or what you will be doing

Which would you choose ?

To all those who do not believe in protecting the life of unborn children:
The number one reason I hear for why we should not give unborn children the right to life is that a high percentage of women have miscarriages early in pregnancy, so we cannot guarantee that the child will be born.

To this I ask, how many of you actually actively speak against the government, carry firearms on you, are ever asked to testify in court against yourself and plead the 5th, will ever stand trial and exercise your right to a jury, and will be punished by cruel and unusual punishment?

The facts are that most of us will never be put in a situation where we will need to exercise these rights; nonetheless, I doubt any of you are willing to give up your right to due process or the right freedom to practice your religion or any of the other rights guaranteed to you by the constitution.

Two days ago my cousin of 23 years old who has had a difficult life involving drugs, alcohol, & depression killed himself. He was an amazing person and would do anything for anyone. He didn't have the best upbringing and a few months ago my aunt(his mom) got saved and she started talking to him about things and every now and then he'd go to church. He told her he hated himself and the way he was. He had talked about just killing himself b/c of his dislike for himself. He had gone to rehab and got out and we all thought he was doing better but I got a call 2 days ago and he drowned in a pond (the cops say there was no struggle) and I want to know WHY it is that God allowed him to die so young when there was a chance of him possibly getting saved and changing his life around? Im so depressed an sorrowful as well as the rest of my family and the funeral is in 2 days. My cousin was an amazing person with so much potential. I'll always ask myself "will I ever see him again?"

Like what makes it a truthful book and not just a work of fiction like the Illiad or the odyssey? I am sure you christians do not believe that the koran is the truth. What makes the bible more true than any other religious book? A lot of the religious books were written over a span of hundreds of years my multiple people. So, what makes you so sure that the bible is actually words from god, and not just another book of fiction to try and explain events that happened? Especially since many things in the bible are known not to be true by evidence (ya I know, that pesky little evidence) such as a global flood.

If your mother says dont swear at your father, but she curses at him all the time, would you listen and obey her? of course not because she is going against her own word. if she wants you to obey, she must oblige by the same rule.

God says do not judge one another, so why is he allowed to judge us and decide if we get into heaven? if we cannot judge eachother, he should not be allowed to judge us either. and if he cannot judge us, we all get to heaven since no one can say( not even GOD) i was a bad person.

the same principles apply here dont they?
