I honestly believe that there are problems with each of the possible scenarios. There are problems if we let down on our support of Israel and they are immediately attacked, which would result in decreasing their alliance with us. Also, for the gesture...
People ask questions for one of three reasons. I am sure you will follow me on this one. 1. They want to know the answer 2. They like to hear themselves talk/ see their words on paper/ computer 3. They want to start a conflict. I am sure you ca...
Why can't her children and husband move with her? Makes sense to me. I had to move for my Job, as I am the primary wage earner it was necessary that my husband and son move with me, and also my father and infant brother. I still manage even working...
I know that many people in this life have a deeply profound impact on our lives, whether by their presence, or by seperation. I feel your pain, in that I have not seen my own mother since I was nine I believe. She chose to leave me and my sister, and i...
Thank you.
I have a wonderful pastor. We just moved as well and it took a while to find a church that felt right, but I still really miss my old pastor.
Actually, religion is not a scam though many unethically people have used the belief of others to hurt them. There may not be any actual proof of God, but many of the historical events recorded in the bible have been verified by outside resources, s...
Okay, I think it depends for this question. The bible says that God always answers prayers. It says more specifically, that if you pray and you believe you have recieved then you will get what you prayed for. Myself, I think it's a matter of God ans...
The reason the bible talks about being unequally yoked is because many have been led astray by their spouses (who often worshipped other gods). I feel that if you do choose to marry, then you need to make a firm commitment to God that no matter what ha...
Seriously, I am a Christian. I don't hate athiests. Seriously, it's actually questions like that that promote disharmony. I may hate the fact that I FEEL that you are doomed, but I don't hate you! If there is anything or anyone I get angry at for non b...
Um, I happen to be American, and a Christian, but um, to be frank, your country believed first. Our county is still very young you know.
Baptism is an outward sign that you have taken the final step in accepting Jesus, at least in Christianity.
I don't worry about God because I already know He loves me.
I definitely agree with Flossheal and want to add that many of the laws of Moses were for the Jewish people. Yes we still follow the ten commandments, and obey the teachings of Jesus, but in today's times it is pretty much impossible to follow every wo...
We are here to celebrate God, to praise Him.
No, I don't think so, considering He never had any children. The stories and allusions to Him having a relationship are not valid as far as I am concerned.
I am! Thank the Lord!
When you have accepted that you are a sinner and given your life to Him you will start to see a change. That is when you know.
I believe in both. I believe evolution was set into motion by God.
The most beautiful thing I have ever seen was my son just a few moments after his birth. He looked wrinkled and red, but I must say he was still beautiful. The way his huge blue eyes focused on me for the first time, and the way he nuzzled up to me, as...
Wow, I can see there is a huge debate on this issue. I agree with what was said earlier. Let there be 3 minutes of silence and let whomever as wants pray and those who don't can sit still and think for a few minutes.
Can you prove that we are not all a figment of your own imagination?
I don't know, maybe something romantic like Veronica. My name is too old fashioned, that's why I go by my nickname.
It's very good. I think you should write more to it, fix it up a little and try and put it in for the contest at poetry.com!
I agree with amblessed
My friend & I decided to see what we could do According to my father that is dangerous and stupid. I would have been scrubbing the floors for a month if I played with magic just to see what I could do. UUUHHHGGG!
Firstly, it is said that it is not a good thing in the bible, and for theex13xchild, it was not written in the 1700's. Check your facts before you post them or people wont believe anything you say. The original manuscripts are very old, and even the co...
I don't know. In my opinion (one for instance) if a religion accepts Jesus as their Savior, recognizes the Trinity, and believes that the cross is the only way to salvation then it is correct and all the rest is dogma. I'm sure if you ask another p...
Of course you should tell her! She is your friend and she will understand. I don't think it will change her mind, but if Gd has lain it on her heart to go then she will go. Make sure you also tell her you will be praying for her daily. I know it will h...
I believe in heaven and hell.
Yes I love God. He lived and died for me so that I could go to heaven one day. How could I not love Him?
The labeling that keeps happening on both sides is what is blind. Many of us closed-minded Christians came to a faith in God later on in Life. I grew up as part of a coven and I became Christian after studying LDS, Scientology, Buddhism, and Celtic...
According to every version of the bible I have read Jesus made it very clear that we were to love everyone, not just white or black etc.
Except that you completely forget that for Christians the rules we follow are the rules of Jesus, not of Moses.
Of course we know He wasn't white. Where's your proof he doesn't exist? By the way I agree w/ amblesed and layashea. For my proof, go to my page and take the link. I have a full list of the prophecies of the savior and their fulfillments with bible ...
http://hussmanfunds.com/wmc/wmc080203.htm I found this article very interesting. I am worried about what is happening to our economy. We need a change right now more than ever. So much of our national debt has been caused by the war, and I understan...
Myself, since you posted on my question a few days ago I have been reading up on Barr a lot. I am very interested in some of the things he has said and done. I like a lot of the things he voted for. I worry about the way the election is going to go, an...
I agree with Toadaly. Each of the candidates has problems. I still haven't made up my mind. I know there is a huge deal here, and even if I go third party I probably wont cast a winning vote, but then the choice is the lesser of the two evils. I just d...
Okay, the pledge should not be mandatory, but I don't agree with them taking it away entirely. I think it should be left in the program. I grew up in a coven and I had no problem saying it. I just changed god to gods. If you have an issue with it don't...
The seperation of church and State is to effectively stop happening what happened in Europe. Basically, the church had so much control over governing that people were not allowed to pick a different religion, or worship God in their own way. People who...
Thanx!
I've seen some very good advise so far. I agree that it is probably because of the baby, whether it was their decision or their parents not to let them hang out with you anymore. I wasn't quite that young I was seventeen. I also had two best friends...
Robert Jordan's the wheel of time series is amazing. He passed away last Nov. I believe and the last book is being written by a different author, but the series is amazing. The first book is the Wheel of Time. Also you could try any of the Pern book...
Wow! I don't know. I am very confused about it. I don't mind it if a teacher is gay so long as they don't try to touch my child. I don't mind it if other students are gay, again so long as they don't touch my child. And by touch I don't mean playing ta...
LOL! You'd be surprised though. I prefer evangelism to golf! And at our old church my family always sat in the front pew!
Let he who is sinnless cast the first stone arachnid. We are all sinners! I believe in the bible, abut I believe the DaVinci code is hogwash. It was a great read, but clearly the evidence to support the theories just wasn't there. Man, sometimes ...
I have a lot of favorites. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have recieved it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:24 Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close. Psalm 27:10 Cast your c...
layashea, a really good tip I can give you is to stand alone after church for a few minutes and ask God not to let you forget, and also to practice whatever you learned. Take five minutes before school everyday, or not in the summer, preferably after...
Hiyamia, I Just want to say that you cant just choose a religion and start going. It is a huge choice and a lot of thought, introspection and yes, prayer should go into the decision. That being said, you ave heard a little about Jesus Christ ha...
Toadaly, Please realize that not all Christians can be lumped together, the same way no two religions or non religions should be lumped together. I will admit, tradition has a big part in the way many Christians believe. I do not think that all of ...
