Jill From a Christian perspective when I see stuff happen I don't blame God for these things. Yes, he allows things to happen but I do believe there is a plan going on that only he knows. We live in a sinful world and because of that, bad things happen to us. From a deist perspective you should not blame God either right? You believe he created the world and let us be. You can't have it both ways. Why do little babies suffer an

You can lay a lot of wrongs at the feet of Christians, sure. How many can you find that believe killing women and children is the duty of a Christian, and it will gain them entrance into heaven? If you want to compare modern fundamentalist Islam to middle ages Christianity, fine, but admit that when you do so you are givi

Well since I put out quotes on the political why not from the Christians? Here goes: objectively speaking that is...... "If one takes a historically objective approach to the question, it is found that even secular history affirms that Jesus lived on earth and was worshiped as God. He founded a church that has worshiped Him for 1,900 years.

Have you ever heard the story of Fanny Crosby? She lived in the 1800's. It's a very inspirational story. She was blinded at six weeks by a man who treated her for an eye infection and instead burned her leaving ugly white scars on both eyes. Seven months later her father died leaving her 21 year old mother and she only 8 months old in poverty. When Fanny was eight she wrote this: Oh what a happy child I am, Although I

I just had some thoughts...getting into this without getting preachy would be hard for me so I'll just give you a few thoughts that come to mind as I think on this. No preaching. God sees our heartaches and takes seriously our loss. Every life is a complete life no matter how long it was God has a plan going on and a purpose that we cannot understand God may be protecting us (them) from something worse in life (I'm t

I think that fundamentalist Christians would turn in horror at some of the things she writes. A God of unconditional love, goodness and grace is incompatible with an exclusive Christian view. How so? I believe that God is a God of unconditional love, goodness and grace. I'm not "horrified" at what others believe. I used to believe that stuff t

Tova, What your brother is going through reminds me of what I just read recently. I read a book by David France. Think it's called "Faith of our Fathers." Anyhow he followed the whole abuse scandal of the CC in Boston and then all over the world. He started with the 1960's. Threre were thousands of boys (some girls) molested and most are now like your brother. Some have gone on to lead productive lives but many of them have spiraled d

well Ruby, Bobby said that most if not all birth control has the potential to not only stop fertilization but also has the potential to cause abortions to happen after they do. It's something he learned in Molecular Cell Bio and genetics. On the other hand I've known ladies to get pregnant while using some of these very contraceptives so you really have to do research and come to your own convictions and conclusions regarding this issue. <

I'll admit first hand that I don't know alot about Williamson. I saw her on Oprah a long time ago. At first I was very excited about her cuz she seemed spiritual and even led a prayer on TV!! Something unheard of on afternoon TV shows. Then later a lot of red flags went up all around her for me. Jesus said that the sheep will know his voice. The stuff she was saying wasn't sounding like him at all. It was very "new age" and something I

Reply to A religious question in Religion JoeUser Forums

The Jews today are being saved the same as they were back then. It wasn't the sacrifices that saved them, it was faith in God and his promises. The sacrifices were the outward show. Same today. Our works don't save us. It's our faith in God. They were saved looking forward to the cross just as we are looking back. The OT sacrifices were to point to the ultimate one that was to come. Jesus fulfilled that. He was the lamb of God. Nothing we do s

Lately I've taken up downhill skiing, cross country skiing and skating. I haven't skated since I was in my 20's and picked it up fairly well and downhill skiing?

What a night!! It was crisp and chilly but not bone chilling. The stars were out. A good thing too because I went on a sleigh ride tonight. It was alot of fun.

I take verses like these to mean hold to your OWN faith no matter what, not fight to make others change their's. Extremists could take these same verses to mean they should literally kill those who are not of their faith (sound familiar?) Yes, I actually agree here!!!

I think he's more than taking advantage of his freedom. He's despising it by disrespecting it. I'd love to offer him a one way ticket out of here. The stipulation? Never come back. I am actually very proud of the fact that we got a young HS teacher fired about 4 years ago for teaching improperly to our kids. My son had absolutely no English learning that year. He was telling the kids not to listen to their parents and as soon
