It's one of my favorite expressions, but I don't want to offend any religions if I can help it.

Please, I want to know your experiences not that of someone else or what you were taught.

Thank you.

With the Mega churches all over the place, the thousands of denominations, the whole "I am not religious I just have a personal relationship with Jesus" gimmick and the impersonating of other faiths to sucker in converts.

Marisol
Georgetta
Tabitha
Telena
Shalonda
Forever (and with her newer baby)
Jolene
Shawn
Simone
Moyisha
Telia (even though she said she quit her search)

All these women have been on Maury's show multiple times and matching DNA has not been found...
Could they all be immaculate conceptions?
Just curious...after all if it happened once.......

After you know what the bible say, you pray about something, you ask for input from your pastor and friends... how do you know for sure?

Generous in love—God, give grace!
Huge in mercy—wipe out my bad record.
Scrub away my guilt,
soak out my sins in your laundry.
I know how bad I've been;
my sins are staring me down.
You're the One I've violated, and you've seen
it all, seen the full extent of my evil.
You have all the facts before you;
whatever you decide about me is fair.
I've been out of step with you for a long time,
in the wrong since before I was born.
What you're after is truth from the inside out.
Enter me, then; conceive a new, true life.
I think this comes from plalm 51

I don't mean this sarcastically. I've heard lots of people refer to their actual heart as a place where God has spoken to them.

If the heart is the organ of such memory, what happens if they receive a donated heart?

If Jesus had a brother named james and a Mother Mary, Father Joseph - these people must have had family: cousins , sisters, other relatives etc. And IF the new testament tells who begat who, why cant you find out who the bloodline relatives of jesus are in the world today?
(I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO SAY: ABOUT HE IS THE FATHER AND ALL THAT STUFF). But where are the Jesus Family today then for real? If you could identify them by DNA and all that, at least you could prove that this man existed and was not a phantom. I am trying to help you.

Do you think that it's a hindrance to the building of the Lord's church?

Thanks in advance for all sincere, polite replies.

For example: If I believe I am a Christian, then I am a Christian. If I believe I am Fat, then I am fat to myself correct? What we believe becomes our reality.

This morning when my toast popped out of the toaster there was the perfect likeness of Cindy Lou Who burned into it. Is this a sign that the Grinch is true?

I would like to meet, amongst many others, the man born blind. I would not ask him, " What did he do to you?' lol

He always impressed me. He seemed so eloquent in dealing with the Pharisees.

example:
John 9
30 The man answered, "Now that is remarkable! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly man who does his will.
32 Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."

This guy was not an ignorant man. He just happened to be blind. Yet with his knowledge, he stumped the Pharisees. I think that it is proof that God's Spirit was working with him before he actually believed in Jesus Christ, which he did later in the chapter.

My husband and I will be having a child soon and already we're having some religious issues involving my mother.

My mother is Catholic, while my husband and I are not. She has made it very clear that she wants our child to be raised Catholic. My husband and I are opposed to this and have told her so. Although she says she will (grudgingly) respect our wishes, we are both concerned that she will lull us into a false sense of security and have our child baptized behind our backs. As much as I adore my mother, I have years of first-hand experience with just how sneaky and manipulative she can be. I really can see her attempting something like this.

Would a Catholic priest allow a grandparent to have a child baptized without parental knowledge and/or consent? And if so, would it be a valid baptism?

"In any foreseeable future there are going to be thousands and thousands of people who detest and abominate Negroes, communists, Russians, Chinese, Jews, Catholics, beatniks, homosexuals, and 'dope-fiends.' The hatreds are not going to be healed, but only inflamed, by insulting those who feel them, and the abusive labels with which we plaster them--squares, fascists, rightists, know-nothings--may well become the proud badges and symbols around which they will rally and consolidate themelves."

Don't get hooked on which examples he uses: this was 1966.

Yesterday i was working on a ladder when i was attacked by a swarm of bees. I managed to get off the ladder and into my car with only a sting on my wrist and a sting on my throat.
Last time i was stung i had a reaction and almost died , this time no reaction .
Did God try to kill me or did he save me ?
Was it just bad luck followed by good luck ?
