The rules are simple:
1. Four things that are illusions of the heart and mind.
2. Four things that are not illusions of the heart and mind.
3. Follow my example in order to be chosen.

Illusive premises.
1. Perfection (is imperfect)
2. Logic (pure sanity is deranged)
3. Existence (all that is now, tomorrow it never was)
4. Irony (contradictions cancel each other out)
Non-illusive premises.
1. Time (age)
2. Instinct (primal)
3. Nothingness (space)
4. Bloodline (reproduction)

I believe in the secret rapture and it will take place before the 7 years tribulation just as the bible says and the book of revelation revealing things that will happen in the near future reveals of a secret rapture that will tale place before the tribulation.

along with hindu cult, christianity too is a backward looking faith. Islam, on the other hand, very scientific and practical faith so that humanity can attain spiritual happiness.
N.B: shall I expect hardline white christian fanatics and so called " former muslims" coming at me throwing insults and epithets?

Personally I think some are cults like the Westboro Baptist Church and the groups led by the tele-evangelists. I wan't to know what other people think.

I feel that I am important enough to God to take any sins straight to him, and talk about it with him... I never understood the thinking in that...

Does "intelligent design" have any, repeat ANY, empirical evidence to support it to justify teaching it in science classes?

And if you claim any such evidence, could it be equally applied to justify teaching the doctrines of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Is the acceptance of Christ and the belief that he sacrificed for you a condition to receive God's unconditional love?

That a big war between two brothers and the followers of each was waged with horses, chariots and swords on a hill in Joseph Smiths back yard in around 600 BC. The bad guys stomped the good guys into the ground and God punished the bad guys by turning their skin dark. They are taught that these dark skinned people are the Native Americans of today, both north and South American indiginous peoples.
Is that weird or what???

Ouija boards? Casting spells? Tarot cards? Smurfs (elves > magic)? Shrek (magic, curses etc)?

I posted a question about Smurfs, and a Christian informed me that Satan is very subtle and uses things such as Smurfs and Shrek movies to make demonic themes attractive to us and that watching Shrek/having Smurfs invites Satan and his demons in to your home.

So what do YOU consider demonic?

Matthew 1:25 - "...and did not KNOW her till she had brought forth her FIRSTBORN son. And he called His name Jesus."

doesn't this say that she had sex after the birth of Jesus?

Numbers 5
Separation of the Unclean
5:1 1Then the LORD spoke to Moses: 5:2 “Command the Israelites to expel from the camp every leper, everyone who has a discharge, and whoever becomes defiled by a corpse. 5:3 You must expel both men and women; you must put them outside the camp, so that 6 they will not defile their camps, among which I live.” 5:4 So the Israelites did so, and expelled them outside the camp. As the LORD had spoken to Moses, so the Israelites did.

Why is sex wrong in most of the major religions? I mean- it had to be "God" who gave us the ability to enjoy it... A good orgasm can only be described as devine.

This is not a question about conspiracy theories or what scientists or historians say about the lost years of Jesus in the Bible, and whether or not he went to India or slept with whoever, or married whoever.

This is a question of, as a Christian, how you incorporate the fact that the first 30 years of his life are unaccounted for.

Is it important to your own personal faith that you will never know? Do you just not even think about it? Does the "lost years" make you view the entire history of Jesus or the Bible with more suspicion, or do you not see any reason or possibility of any sinister behavior or activity by those who wrote the Bible? In other words, are the lost years of Jesus a non-factor to you?

Do you ever wonder what happened? How does exploring this affect your own personal faith?

To be honest, I am very curious to know how other Christians deal with uncertainty regarding their own faith.
