Water into wine? Come on now, surely people of this generation have better imaginations than that. Personally, I'd turn it into petrol, and flood the market with it so gas prices would go down, and I would be rich, but seriously, what would you turn water into if you could turn it into anything?

Other than family camping trips I have not been on a retreat in years and the last was 20 years ago at Montserat Jesuit Retreat House. I am considering going one with my mother who is dealing with emotional problems following an abortion 30 some odd years ago. Any advice please?
Peace Be With You,
Debra

Okay, now I know a lot of you believe that your consciousness will go on after this body doesn't.

What if it doesn't, what if you live it worried about "sinning", and pleasing a God or Gods that turn out not to exist? You may only get 80 years give or take in a seemingly infinite timeline. Why waste it?

To be honest, I feel like I could do more in life, but I'm enjoying it. I'm not saying go out and have sex and do drugs, rather branch out and explore this brief life.

I have heard this expression since I was a young girl. What do you think it means?

I have notice that the same users repeatedly accuse others of being trolls and posting spam. I've been reported a few times when I've been completely serious and honest. My question is why? If you disagree with a question (don't know how you can disagree with a question) or an answer, why don't you just move on? Instead, you post something like "Spam reported" and still get your points. So friends, tell me why you think these people feel the need.

what about the facts that dinosaurs existed? or what about the fact that the earth revolves around the sun; that it isn't flat, shouldn't that be counted as truth because it's not mentioned in the bible?

Let's see what the Bible says:

John 9:31 "We know that God does not hear sinners;

Psalm 66:18 If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear;

Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.

God shuts up the heavens so prayers don't get through:
Deuteronomy 28:23 "The heaven which is over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you, iron.

Whom does God hear?
2 Chronicles 7:14 and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Therefore I say unto you all on yahoo answers.. God ONLY HEARS CHRISTIANS.. Jesus said He's the ONLY WAY to God

They must necessarily be all equally unjustified.

Wicca and other New Age phenomena have been championed as religions by their adherents precisely in order to elevate them to the legal and social status that religions have traditionally enjoyed.

Please cite scriptures in justification of this doctrine (i.e. the extinction of the soul or spirit). Thanks.

christian, but when a non-christian does something evil they say that is the way their religion teaches them to be. do you think it is because the christians making these claims never bother to learn what other religions teach?

Explain like I'm stupid:

If I'm not going to live forever -- either in a) eternal bliss or b) eternal torment -- then life is meaningless?

Have I got that right?

So did that mean Jesus was born in the year of 0000?

Or did time stop at, say 320 BC, and then it started at 0000 because of his birth?
And for the people around the world that never knew of Jesus' exsistence, like the Myan Indians, did they too start recording time at 0000?
( I have no idea on this so that's why I'm asking.)

A teenage victim of gang-rape has been pardoned for her crime by Saudi King Abdullah. Presumably, she has apologized for being gang-raped and has promised not to be gang-raped again.
