Okay, I have a question to anyone out there who may be willing to answer. What happens when a good Christian falls into a sinful lifestyle. Like they stop going to church and begin dating non christians, having sex, cursing and drinking. etc.
They still believe the same things they always did, but they are not showing it in the way they live or in their day to day lives.

If they died would they still go to heaven? Are they still considered a christian, and if not what would they be considered?

This question is really bugging me so please take the time to answer, also please im me if you would like to speak further about it!

The other day, I went into the bathroom to take my birth control pill (I'm a lesbian, but I had awful periods, so they are strictly for menstral control), and they were soaking wet. The pills had all disolved and could not be used. NOTHING else was wet. Just the pills.

Do you think that Catholics broke into my house and poured Holy water on my birth control pills?! LOL

and if the four gospels were sent to different churches, how did the people of those churches know that he was "god" if they received for example the gospel of Luke instead of John?

A recent question (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071229215705AA43ywl&r=w#E41RDGO_JzKauW6KaO4Z ) asked Christians to consider the HYPOTHETICAL possibility that god does not exist. Why did over half of those answering fail tto accept the HYPOTHETICAL premise for their answers?

Had one last night. Once I realized what I was experiencing, I managed to calm down and wait it out. (You know, those dreams where you wake up in the middle of the deepest sleep and you find yourself unable to move?)

My first reaction was that it was a spiritual attack. But now I'm not sure. After all, what would I have done that would warrant such a thing? That pizza I ate? Staying up till 3:30 am? Reading the apocryphal gospel of St Bartholomew?

As a Catholic, I can't help but chuckle. Isn't that kind of the reason Anglicans exist in the first place?

In John 20:24-29 Thomas calls Jesus, My Lord and my God.
If Jesus believed he should not be worshiped, why didn't he rebuke Thomas?

24Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!"
But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it."

26A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" 27Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."

28Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"

29Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

NO ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE FOR THE BOOK OF MORMON

As the Mormon church were claiming at one point that the book of mormon was used by the National Geographic Society in order to locate ancient archaeological sites one man felt the need to write to the NGS for confirmation and this was their response.

National Geographic Society

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20036

January 11, 1990

Dear Mr Larson

Thank you for writing to the National Geographic Society.

The Society has never used the Book of Mormon to locate archaeological sites, and we do not believe that any of the places named in the Book of Mormon can be placed geographically by the evidence of archaeology. So far as we know there is no archaeological evidence to verify the history of early peoples of the Western Hemisphere as presented in the Book of Mormon.
I hope you will find this information useful.

Yours truly,

Pamela Tucci

If an atheist truly believes there is no God, then that must mean he/she lies.

#1 Since an Atheist believes in no God, he or she only believes in him/herself, and what will cause him/herself and/or proximate affiliates a gratification of temporal quantity and quality.

The Problem with #1: Well if an Atheist truly believes in no God, why does an Atheist disturb the ones who do believe in a God? Would not such action cause potential harm upon the Atheist? Why would an Atheist, who believes in no God, by logical reasoning, do that? If he was certain there is no God, he would not do it, because in case something happens to such Atheist, he/she will not be able to consumate his/her prior privilege he/she lived for.

Now let us not fool ourselves here, in reality an Atheist is someone, who out of sheer will for self-condemnation and malice for gratification forgets the basic need for law, morals and self-accountability.

Can law exist without morals and self-accountability?

Why do people say we don't believe in "anything?" An atheists has no belief in god. Not no belief in anything!

I am wondering what people's views on this were? In any religion. I am Christian and someone once told me that when you are really close to God you will do this, but I have Done some searching and when the the Bible talks about speaking in tongues. a
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: "Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs--we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!" 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, "What does this mean?"
