im just wondering, like in a times of war or a serious national crisis and this particular spy holds very sensitive information, would he/she be condemned to hell?

note that spy did not willing want to die, they are only doing so to protect their country. And eventually the spy will spill the beans on secrets after being tortured relentlessly.

so in a way is committing suicide in this context a sacrifice?

and the first Christians were Jews. Jesus was God in the flesh.
So how could Jesus have been Jewish? Wasnt he God born into a Jewish family? I've never read that God is a Jew.

Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.”

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice as of thunder: “Come!”

I have a debate with a friend. I was baptized in a UPC church, baptized in Jesus' name. My husband was baptized in a Church of God church baptized in the name of the father, son, holy ghost. My friend says because my husband was not baptized in Jesus name he is not really baptized. What is your opinion?

Do Mormons believe the Bible? Mormons believe in zillions of Gods. Bible says: Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any." Isaiah 44:8

Mormons believe they can become a God like Heavenly Father. Bible says: . . . I am God, and there is none like me, Isa.46:9

Mormons believe that men will have wives in heaven.. Jesus speaking: Matt. 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Mormons believe that Heavenly Father has a body of flesh and bones.. Bible says God is a SPIRIT and that a SPIRIT hath not flesh and bones. John 4:24 Luke 24:39

Mormons believe we all existed before coming to earth as the spirit children of Mr. And Mrs. God. Bible says: "Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual." (1 Corinthians 15:46) and formeth the spirit of man within him." -- (Zechariah 12:1)

I asked a friend to read this, and he told me that he feels it's a threat to Christianity. I've read through it, but I can't seem to figure out how the hell it is. Is there something I'm missing, here; something I didn't realize, from the article?

People of all faiths, can we come together and pray for Benazir Bhutto, a woman who fought for women's rights in Muslim nations and a pioneer.

Muslim or not, she was a humanitarian, a role model for young girls and women everywhere. Let us pray for all the girls and women who struggle in countries who still to this day seek to lessen the status of women and degrade them so. Let us come together as a light and beacon that women are just as loved and are a man's equals.

This prayer goes out to women everywhere and those that support them so that in the future that there will be no such thing as sexism.

Guys- can we come together as brothers, sons, fathers, boyfriends, husbands, relatives, and friends of such women and prove and treat them as our equals and not objects or lesser beings?

Blessings to all of you :-)

it would seem that when it comes to abortion, there's one argument that seems to be the "ace in the hole" for pro-choice people- What to do with the babies?

I don't know much about orphanages, but it doesn't seem like growing up in one is worse than not being born.

The other argument is that we haven't developed a system to care for them.

but my question is: how is that important?

Did the abolitionists have a plan for integrating freedmen? No, they kind of made it up as they went along. Should they have waited to free the slaves until they had a nice plan?

Do we have a plan for taking care of every drug addict? I doubt it, so should we, by that same argument, just forget about drug trafficking because we don't know how to deal?

I guess this may be an obvious question, but how does not having a full plan for "step 2" equate to allowing abortion?

i suppose improved sex ed and the adoption facilities may be a start, or something like that...

If we are supposed to go to heaven then why is there so many scriptures that say we or someone is to live here on the earth??????????

These are just a few examples.......

Ps 37:11
But the meek shall inherit the earth,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Ps 37:9
For evildoers shall be cut off;
But those who wait on the LORD,
They shall inherit the earth.


Mt 5:5
Blessed are the meek,
For they shall inherit the earth

Isa. 45:18
For thus says the LORD,
Who created the heavens,
Who is God,
Who formed the earth and made it,
Who has established it,
Who did not create it in vain,
Who formed it to be inhabited:

“ I am the LORD, and there is no other.

1999 Gallup Poll, half of Americans say they would refuse to vote for an atheist candidate solely on that basis

Today, there are still eight states that have provisions in their state constitutions explicitly barring atheists from holding political office. The Tennessee Constitution states: "No person who denies the being of God, or a future state of rewards and punishments, shall hold any office in the civil department of this state."
