I know having bulimia,anorixia or anything like that isnt pleasing to God...but is it considered a sin? (link)
| |
I consider it a sin. Our bodies are God's temples and we are supposed to take care of them. Having an eating disorder is not taking care of your body.

You first might want to learn to spell Buddhist right...my ex boyfriend was one and took it pretty personally...and second, Buddha did have a few good ideas but God has better ones. God tells us that we can't serve two masters. You have to either follow Buddha or God.

ok to day i went to a bible study at school, I used to go to church and youth group but the youth minister left the church and i havent been back since....but anyway today when i was there things where really emotional...people were crying and they asked us to bow our heads and asked who wanted to be saved...the asked us to raise our hands and then the leaders came over and prayed over them...But I felt scared to raise my hand....Im regreting it now....I want God in my life but I'm afraid Ive missed my chance.

You don't need to be at any special service for God to be in your life. You can ask him yourself. He can even hear you if you say it in your head. No one can stand between you and God. Don't worry. You will never miss your chance with God. He'll always be waiting for you.

I just recently moved out of my house and into my uncles house and he is a hardcore Christian man and believes that anything not christian is "of the devil", I myself am a follower of the old pagan type religions and he kind of found out and alwayz makes little jabs at me for not believing in god and tells me im going to hell and i dont know how to deal with it..if i tell him that i dont believe in god, he might kick me out of his house....what should i do...pretend not to believe what i do or tell him to stop?

Tell him if he's a real Christian he'll stop acting like that

my parents get mad at me whenever i say something about religion that doesnt agree with their views. they tell me im to young to have an opinion about that kind of stuff. and i do. and im not that good at communicating. so should i just tell them that i believe in god? even though i have doubts?
thanks. (link)

"He who is in you is strong than he who is in the world." Your parents may be against you but God has still got your back. Don't be afraid to tell your parents the truth about what you believe. There is never a wrong time to do what is right. "even when your mother and father forsake you, i will take care of you" sorry i dont have to referrences on these two verses.

I guess the subject line says it all. I constantly flip-flop between Christianity, Atheism and Buddhism. I like a little of all, and I can't seem to choose one faith. I always change my mind. Is there something wrong with me? Am I flaky? It's just that a faith is an important choice, and I'm afraid to make the wrong one.
I like all three, but I know I have to pick one.
What should I do? (link)

I know how you feel. I am a Christian but I question my faith quite often. I guess you could say, if it weren't for my common sense, I'd be an athiest. I don't mean that offensively. It's just my reasoning. Think about the three and see what seems the most practical to you. Take Atheism for example: If there is no creator of any sort, how did the world get here? Evolution? When discussing evolution, ask "where did that come from?" enough and eventually you'll find that you are stuck. The most important advice I can give you is, The truth can not always be proven but it can never be disproven. So do your best to disprove all three of these religions and then make your choice.

In the aftermath of the tsunami, the eternal theological question is again posed: what sort of God permits the slaughter of blameless humanity on such a scale?
On the abundant available evidence does it not seem that, if there is or was a God, it is now malevolent, mad or dead?
No, religious nutters please - this is a serious question I'm posing.

Have you ever stopped to think that maybe God doesn't make things happen nor does he stop things from happening? I'm clinically depressed and whenever things get really bad I always remember when my old youth pastor told me that God cried with me. God cried for the tsunami victims. He didn't kill them.

I give up. I dont deserve gods love. I am not worthy enough for it. He gives me a gift and i dont use it. I fail one class, i am a porn addict. I give up i dont deserve god anymore. I dont even deserve to live, i, i really dont care. i am not good enough. I am not as loyal to him as i should be. i dont deserve him at all. im done. Please give advice or a way to end it all (link)

NO ONE deserves God at all. Trust me. I know exactly how you feel! My parents are constantly telling me what a horrible person I am and I'm on so many medications that I shouldn't even be able to still think. No matter how you feel or what you deserve, God is going to love you anyway. It's unavoidable. I hope you don't mind but this will be a little long. Let me tell you a short story. I used to date this guy who is now a HUGE druggie, alcoholic, drug dealer and male prostitute. The last time I talked to him, he had a gun up his nose and he kept telling me that he doesn't deserve to be loved by me. He didn't understand that no matter how awful his lifestyle was, I was never going to stop loving him. There's plenty more I'd like to say but I'll spare you the reading time. My screen name is on my page if you'd like to talk. I'm always up for it.

Right I have a christian friend who is like really serious about it, and I some times feel like she is constantly trying to convert me when I've told her that I'm not like her i'm not like a church go-er and it's just i've been bruoght up in a different way to her. I don't want to offend her but can any one suggest ways of making it clear that i don't believe half of what she's saying. (Thanks alot, i rate high!) (link)

I'm a Christian and I've asked my nonChristian brother a few different times to come to church with me but he wont. Tell her that if she really respects you and if she truely respects Christ and his teachings, she will stop pestering you and just love you. Tell her that if she wants to pray for you that's fine but you're in God's hands now. You may not agree with what I'm saying but if she is a good Christian and you tell her this, she will most likely listen. Hope I could help.

First, let me preface this by saying that this is going to a bit long and that I'm not highly religious. I always believed that if you lived your life morally and right, God or the cosmos or what have you, would reward you in a way. You would be able to affect people's lives by the way that you live.
So I've lived my life well- I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, engage in pre-marital sex, am always kind, and work hard helping others, however, I'm losing my faith that its all meaningful. It seems to me that people in general are becoming too superficial. There is no more great search for knowledge and truth and TRUE beuty. People don't trust people anymore- always thinking the worst ulterior motive, even when there is none. I feel like I'm fighting a dying battle to keep a little bit of innocence and purity. Am I just being naive thinking that if I keep living my life the way I am, will "reward" me in the end? Am I the only one who feels like this? Am I the only one who thinks that we're not progressing but rather giving in to our most carnal urges? I'm losing faith and I know eventually all the people I help will feel it by the way I treat them. Your input would be appreciated. (link)

Personally, I believe God is trying to get your attention. He's trying to show you that there is more you must do than just be a good person. Unless you have given your life to Christ, all your good works are in vain. However, if you have given your life to Christ and you are going to Heaven when you die, have faith, God promises us rewards in that life. He's warned us that man in naturally evil so of course the world around you is going to be evil but don't give up. The greater evil you overcome, the greater your rewards will be in heaven.

I am jewish, people tell me all the time that in their religion there is a trinity of some sort. My question is how can Jesus, The Holy Ghost, and _________ make up G-d? I dont know the third one either.
I'm just a little confused.

Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit all make up the trinity. They are all God. I'm a Christian and I don't exactly understand how this works but I have faith that one day when I die, God will explain it to me in Heaven.

I give advice on this site, and yes, I'm also a Wiccan, almost on the verge of being an atheist and lately there has been someone harrassing me about my faith, she has left 2 messages so far in my inbox, about God, and I've given her actual proof about why I don't beleive in God like that. What I wanted to know is, have I been the only one getting messages like that? Thanks. (link)

I don't know the exact situation but I'd just like to apologize for what this person has been doing to you. I am a Christian and I don't believe in shoving Christianity down peoples throats. That's the totally wrong way to go about it. I'm sorry.
