I've been on here for 8 months now, and I've never seen that question.

Besides medical reasons, why do they still practice it. Or is that the only reason?

Did you have to jump through a lot of "hoops" to become licensed or ordained?
I know of a few in different denoms. that were rejected because of mere personality clashes, for instance. You can study, and work, but it's preferred you remain in the pew.

2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

This indicates that the Scripture, the word of God, is the breathing out of God. God's speaking is God's breathing out. Hence, His word is spirit (John 6:63), or breath. Thus, the Scripture is the embodiment of God as the Spirit. The Spirit is therefore the very essence, the substance, of the Scripture, just as phosphorus is the essential substance in matches. We must strike the Spirit of the Scripture with our spirit to catch the divine fire.
As the embodiment of God the Spirit, the Scripture (God's word) is also the embodiment of Christ. Christ is God's living Word (Rev. 19:13), and the Scripture is God's written word (Matt. 4:4).

No matter what religion your from, why do you believe what you believe. I believe in God because all of the bible is proven, and everything has a creator. There is more to it, but I want to see what ya'll have to say.

I always thought astrology, palm reading, psychics was just momentary entertainment and schemes to get money from people. How true is it?

Those who believe in God are often chided for belief in a being that seems to hold aloof. I wonder, though, if this very distance is one of the necessary ingredients to strong religious faith.

See, I have always held to the belief that God, if he is to be sought out, is to be found in our fellow man. I've often used the phrase that "God must look like my friend, or I won't recognize him." Mind you, I am an Atheist, but I have in my contemplation of life tried to connect to a feeling of deity, and have always gone after the human component. I've seen it as a strength, the familiarity of divinity expressed through the best of human behaviour: charity, kindness, comforting one another, etc. My idea of "God" has been an expression of human action, a positive verb.

I wonder, though, if those who maintain God as aloof have that very distance as a strength to their faith. When God is too human, he is disappointing at times, just as humans are. Perhaps distance is good? Thoughts?

I believe:
In reincarnation.
That homosexuality is not "chosen".
That there is no eternal, fiery hell.
That Jesus died to redeem the entire human race, no exceptions.

So...
What say you?

Yes, I know this is a departure from our regular jousting but hey, it's close to Christmas and I have a gift for you. What gift you say? Well isn't your health important? I have a small bit of information that will no doubt benefit a lot of folks in this cold and flu season. In case you haven't heard there is a cough medicine gaining popularity because it actually WORKS!! It is alcohol and sugar free and even a six year old can take it. My wife said it worked enormously better than the prescribed Tylenol with codeine. The name of the cough medicine is BUCKLEY'S. Warning! They warn you that it tastes terrible but let me tell you, everyone that I know who tried it says that it works better than any OTC or RX cough medicine. Merry Christmas!

for you to tell me your biggest lesson learned from the year.
The biggest lesson I have learned this year is that if she asks if it looks good... it does even if its horrid. Trust me you will never live it down.

So yup, what is the most important lesson you learned this year?

Below you will find a link to a picture of the "buddy" Christ figure from the Kevin Smith movies. The suggestion in the movies is that even more people would respond positively to Jesus if he seemed more like a buddy and, as depicted, was pointing at you and giving the thumbs up.

It is difficult to understand why a new born baby would have to suffer a birth defect.Man has spent much time and money trying to correct and come up with a cure for what ails the flesh.This is not to question our Lord.I am confident that He knows what is best, and does just that.
BUT IS THERE ANY REASON WHY WE SHOULD SUFFER A SPIRITUAL BIRTH DEFECT?

If God requires continuous worship, why doesn't he just create an army of mindless drones to worship him for all eternity?

I'm curious as to what he sounds like. And for those who say that God doesn't actually speak to them in a physical voice, but rather it's just a feeling of knowing what to do that overcomes them, how do you know that it's really God and not just your subconcious mind ?
