ok listen you are not perfect in this area. i just cuss because thats the way i talk. look i wouldnt have bothered to bring it up if it wasnt important. dont take offense at this, actually try examining yourself. you are self righteous in that you view yourself as better than people who are not christians, and if not then your demeanor makes it seem that way. you know this is a wrong thing to do, but youve justified yourself into thinking that you dont do it, but im telling you, you are, okay? im trying to help you because you obviously want to win people to the lord, and you're comng off as condescending which is the last thing you want to do there. now stop being so proud and accept advice from somebody that knows what they're talking about! later, good luck. w/b --AK (consider me your guardian angel) (link)

listen i wasn't being self-righteous, self rightesous is defined as being Righteous in one's own esteem, quite frankly i have a low self esteem. i wasn't trying to win him over. He asked why people think it is wrong, i gave him verses that show why this is wrong. Most people don't under stand scripture. It was a simple question, it would make sencse if he created 2 of the same sex rather than a male and a female, that is ALL that i implyed (sp?) i don't think that i am better than anybody, i know that i am way down on the list of good people in the world. I respect those that arn't christians, i personally grew up in a christian home, i don't know what it is like to not know Christ, i respect those that are trying to learn it for them-selves even if the rest of their family isn't. i know that the way that i wrote back prolly sounded rude too, but now i understand that somethings your write may have 2 different meanings, some people persieve things differently than others, If you and i both read the same thing we could come up with 2 totally different meanings on the same sentance. im not trying to be proud, i took your advice i changed my answer taking off the adam and steve, thinking that may have gone to far. I respect you for trying to help and all, but i still think that it was answering his question.

I'm totally lost in the types of Christianity there are. I know I believe in God, and the fact that Jesus died for us to get into Heaven. But what I do not understand, is what exactly God did, and what exactly Jesus did to get crucified in the first place.
Also, I was wondering if someone could explain the differences in denominations for me, or give me a link to a site that can do so. Thanks so much. (link)
|
ok, God=creater of everything
Gen. 1:1 In the begining God created the heavens and the earth
Jesus=savior
Basically what Jesus did was he preached the Gospil. one of the kings (im sorry i don't remember which one) Didn't like that he was getting all of this attention, he was mad that people were worshiping his God rather than him. So this king took it before Pilate, he was going to let Jesus go, but the people would not let him. I would recomend John 18 It is about the sacrifice of the son of God. Maybe if you read that story then it will help you to understand. And about the denominations, im not really sure, sorry:(
If you are ever in the Arkansas/Missouri region check into seeing The Passion Play, it is awsome and it is about the last 7 days of Jesus life (it may be in other places but i know that it is there for sure, you could prolly do a google search)

YOU need some straightening out, young lady! just because you are a christian does not give you an excuse to be so self-righteous! i read your "adam and steve" comment, what a fucking cocky response to somebody with a genuine question! u better examine yourself or your gonna start leading people away from the faith with your personal "holier than thou" motif. and yeah i read more of your page too, you do that alot. BE CAREFUL! God wants you to humble yourself before him. Be quiet in your mind! --AK (link)

ok, who said that i was being self-righteous. He asked if he was being out of the line, and why so many people were against it, i told him what most people tell me (i have also asked the same question it made sence to me) and i don't do that alot, most of the time i give scriputre, and my relation ship with God isn't really any of your business, I am very humble towards the God that i worship and that shouldn't consern you at all. I don't appriciate you comming in here and cussing at me, one i didn't do anything to you and 2 it was a question, i said the same things that the other people said, and 3 why do i have to explain my-self to you?

okay. i thought that this day, 6/6/06 was the day the anti-christ was supposed to be born. but everyone is saying we are all gonna die today, but the bible doesnt say anything about this. so what is actually happening today? (link)
| |
it is just another day it says in the bible that nobody other than the father knows the day that the revelation will hapen, Not even his own son Jesus Christ. All the people who say the world is going to end on such-n-such day just wants attention, to create a scare. may God Bless.

Let me start of by saying: I would not be asking this if I didnt already feel bad && want to change this. SO please, don't preach.
Down right to the point?
I stole my friend's new 300 dollar digital camera. (reminder: I know it was wrong, no lecturing)
While doing it, i KNEW it was wrong.
When she noticed it was gone, she cried.
It broke my heart.
I know God forgives, but my gut tells me..he won't.
I don't know, I want to send it back to her.
I think I will, as soon as I get her adress.
i CAN'T APOLOGIZE THOUGH. I CANT TELL HER.
I don't even know why I did it.
I love her. Im not jealous of her.
I don't need a digitial camera.
I don't want one.
But I did it anyway.
Just because I knew I could.
I knew I wouldn't get caught.
I'm evil. I'm a really bad person, I know.
Yet, I can't change it.
Here's where I need help.
- appologizing to God for this.
HOW? I knew it was wrong while doing it, I knew the devil was pushing me and God was telling me not to, yet I listened to the devil.
It's happened before. I never learn.
I'll always do the wrong thing.
So what? he's just going to keep forgiving me?
- how do I stop this
any ideas?
- this feeling
even if I give it back, I'll never forget what I did. seeing her cry. knowing how much it meant to her yet still taking it. how can i forgive myself for it? what should I do? I know myself very well. I wont change, I'll do it again. And I wont let myself forget it. I know I'll always feel bad because of this.
AHHH GOSSSHH just help me please, I feel awful.
what should I do? with everything?
this feeling is sick.
I want to die.

simply say lord, i know that i have sined, i know that i fall short of the glory of you, i fell really bad for what i have done and lord please forgive me for taking this camra. Yes he will forgive you, Why because he loves you. God will never give you more than you can handle so this is no reason to die. Are you a Christian like have you been babtized, and asked Jesus Christ into your heart and to be your lord and savior? if not it may be a calling from God, that he wants you to be his child again. You also need to ask your friend for forgivness. it is part of the process. Your friend may be mad for a while, but it is really something that you need to do. May God bless.

well ive been a christian since i was 7 but for the past year ive barely even prayed and i dont feel a connection with God..everytime i do pray i just ask for him to forgive my sins because im afraid if i died right now i'd go to hell..no matter what i do i cant seem to get it right and so lately ive just been putting it off but thats not right. how do i start to feel a connection to God again and stop feeling so empty spirutually? (link)
| |
Set aside a time everyday where you can God may connect. Start off by reading and meditating on his scriptures. then just start praying. Talk to him as if he were a normal person. The wonderful thing about having a friend like the father, is he is always there to listen. If you are having a bad day, talk to him like you would one of your friends. laugh with him, cry with him, connect with him. May God bless.

I write songs. And recently I've been going through a difficult time. My ex said he still loved me... he wouldn't say that if he didn't mean it...it took me a year to get over him...i was wrong...blah blah blah...so I'm in love and my mom says I'm not allowed to love him I'm only allowed to like him...but I love him and he loves me but she thinks I'm too young to date or something...i dont know anymore. So I'm writting a song about how I dont want to be told I'm too young and I don't want to be told how to feel, or think, etc. but I want it not only to be about love...like it can have more than one meaning...so if you know of a bible verse that relates to what I'm trying to say please let me know...example: 1 Timothy 4:12 Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
THANKYOU

while it is completly natural to question your parent authority on you you know that your parents were there for a reason.
In proverbs 22: 6 it says "train a child in the way he should go."
I know that you prolly don't want to hear this, but your mother is just training you the way she feels God wants you to be trained. Ask her why she dosn't want you to love this guy. Im not sure how old you are, but maybe you arn't old enough for a relationship.
First love God, ask him what to do, then love your mother, take in what she says, then if the love for you they also share in this man may it be.
The True love is from jesus to you as he shead his blood for you so that you may live. Keep this in mind. Not sure how it all relates together, but my fingers just started typing so maybe God is wanting you to hear some of this. Just keep it all in mind. May God Bless.

Okay I am 15 and I am very devout, although I'm catholic I follow the belifs in general of Chritianity. I have had a connection with God. This year it was on and off all the time. In may I went to Quebec and Saw the Basillica of Saint Anne de Beaupre(people claim its were heaven and earth meat) and upon entering the church, I felt something and upon entering the main part of the church I felt something and I felt a strong connection to god. Since tyhen the connection is lost. I feel empty now unless in a sancutary. Do any of you (christians only please) know how I can streghten my connection with god> (link)

But I will tell you what we have to do, my bretheran and sisters, we must:
A. ...fear God in our hearts,
B. ...lay aside our covetousness and our waywardness,
C. ...lay aside our self-will and foolishness of every kind,
D. ...humble ourselves before the Lord,
E. ...repenting of our sins,
F. ...preserve our bodies and spirits pure, that we may be fit receptables for the spirit of the living God,
G. ...be guided by him in all our labors both for the living and the dead,
H. ...our desires must be for God and his righteousness.
I as well am 15, but i was brought up in a christian home. I believe that God is trying to win over your heart. Try talking to him (praying) He is with you wherever you go, you don't just have to be in church, or in a church program. I talk to him while i am getting ready to go to bed, I sing his prases all day long, i even sing and talk to him in the shower. I made up my own crazy song while i was mowing the yard. i hope this helps if you have any more questions please email me helpfulhints09@yahoo.com

If god loves every one then why dose it seem that being gay is wrong. im a big gay rights person and i dont understand how in most religions its like one of the bigest sins (link)
|
man shall leave his father and mother, and be made one with his wife; and the two shall become one flesh
You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination
Also I have a question for you. If God wanted us to be gay, why did he make a male and a female, why not just make 2 guys or 2 girls? Not trying to be rude, just something to think about.

Does anyone know any bible verses about faith and doubt?? or just really good bible verses, i'd rather they were about faith and doubt tho. HURRY! (link)

You believe because you have seen, blesed are those who still believe but yet have not seen. (i know that it isn't exactly like that, and i don't remember where it was written. But it was when one of the deciples said i won't belive till i put my hand in his side and my finger in the holes where the nails were driven.)
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. (Mat 5:3-11)
Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me. (Mat 11:6)
I know that it is alot but maybe it will help you out with whatever you are needing.

General question. I would like to hear everyone's thoughts on the true nature of forgiveness:whether forgiveness is possible, or whether it is a man-made delusion. Any concrete examples are much appreciated. (link)
|
We often think of forgiveness as something that someone who has done us wrong must ask of US. There is always another way of looking at something. My thoughts on forgiveness suggest that you focus on offering forgiveness TO the person who has wronged you. To not forgive them is like taking the poison (continuing to suffer for what they did or didn't do to you) and expecting THEM to die!
Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself. It is not something you do FOR someone else. It is not complicated. It is simple. Simply identify the situation to be forgiven and ask yourself: "Am I willing to waste my energy further on this matter?" If the answer is "No," then that's it! All is forgiven. (i found this on the internet. I believe this and the following even more so than the first
Mat 6:12 (TEB) "Forgive us the wrongs that we have done, as we forgive the wrongs others have done us."
Luke 6:37 (NIV) "...Forgive, and you will be forgiven."
Mat 6:14-15 (NIV) "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But, if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."
