Some one said in the boards "MOST Christians are hypocrites"...so my question is...do you KNOW "most" Christians or are you doing the EXACT same thing you think Christians do towards you? Judging? Are you not a hypocrite for doing the same "SOME" do? If not, what makes you correct and not a hypocrite? I just see it as a double standard.

Just a simple question. If you feel that you have to "bash' then thanks for showing the world you character as a person.

Please don't. I don't want to lose any friends. You will not be the only one drunk on the road, if you do drive.

Serious Bible Students, Please:

More Specifically how does the Catholic version of scripture differ from The King James Version in the presentation of God's Holy 10 Commandments? Are they one in the same? If not, which one is the correct one?

There was a recent question about being gay wasn't a choice, but it was just how that person was born. In one of the answers, someone else said that it has been scientifically proven that being gay is not a choice...I have never heard this before and of course the person left no source. I have two questions.

1) Where has it been scientifically proven that being gay is not a choice?


2) If being gay is genetically programmed then:
a) How does one explain identical twins(genetic duplicates) where one is gay and one is straight?

b) If it is genetics, wouldn't it be necessary for one of the parents to also carry the "gay gene"...thus making them "gay"? (and sure, it could be a recessive gene...but without finding the gene no one will ever know).

When I look at this category I very rarely see questions regarding spirituality. Most of the questions seem to be about Christians arguing over semantics.

So, I was just wondering if there are people here who are spiritual yet not affliated with any major religion, and if you could share what your beliefs are.

Thank you!

Where it's just different belief that's concerned, why would you have absolutely nothing to do with an ex-Jehovah's Witness, but you feel free to knock on the doors of non-Jehovah's Witnesses on a daily basis? At the very least, shouldn't it be a once only contact at that particular house? If you find out they don't believe...shake the dust from your feet and stay away, just like the shunned ex-JW!

The Bible writes off the monthly menstrual cycle of a female as something evil and sinful. In this day and age, we know that it is necessary part of female health and there is nothing evil or sinful about it. One would think that God would have also known about this. To me, this suggests that the bible was written by men with no understanding of human health and couldn't be the written word of God. What do you think?

If you don't believe in a soul, then what is it that is being reincarnated? Life energies? What would life energies be then if it is something that you would want to be reincarnated, and would you want these energies to revisit this existance as another human being, or wouldn't you want them to visit another existance such as a heavenly one?

1.) Did his body vanish, disappear, disintegrate, dissolve, and dematerialize?
2.) Did Jesus say he was going to raise his spirit or his body?
3.) Why/How did his body vanish and how did it happen in 3 days?

Finally, is there scriptural proof for the answers to these questions?

You know the ones who believe that their denomination is going to heaven and everyone else is not. Or do you just feel they are misguided?

This follows on from another question I asked.

As I understand it, Christians believe that non-believers will go to Hell.

I want to understand this point clearly.

If a non-believer led a good life, never hurt anyone, did charity work...you know, a generally good guy, they would go to Hell.

Along with this a Christian, who worshipped God but really didn't do anything for his fellow man, perhaps was even obnoxious or unhelpful...but believed with all their Heart in God, they would go to Heaven..


I know this is a loaded question, as the hypothetical situation suggests, but I wanted to give an extreme case to understand the Christian view on this.

(All due respect to people of all faiths (non-faith)...this question is borne out of interest in this faith (I am not a Christian).

Matthew 5:31-32 (NKJV) "Furthermore it has been said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.' 32 "But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.

If cleanliness is next to Godliness, are there consequences for not being clean?

Why did all the homosexuals who answered this question say that they were BORN with homosexual urges and it just came naturally to them?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=As4B66hNp3IQ2Qq_tBWNvLjsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071226203217AAuu1bh

NONE of them said that they were sexually abused by anyone of the same sex. They said that they started to develop homosexual urges around the time one starts puberty. Because of this we can conclude that they were BORN homosexual. And since God supposedly determines all your characteristics, we can only assume that God MADE them homosexual. Am I wrong?

I'd like to take a random sampling of all users, so please get out a coin and flip it, letting it fall to the floor. If it comes up heads, you'll answer the question below, if tails, you won't. I know this is not a true random selection, but it's good enough for my purpose, which is to determine the ratio of believers to unbelievers in this forum. The question, therefore, is are you a believer or an unbeliever? One word answers, if you please.
