If a Christian man is kissing his date and it gives him an erection (often just the possibility of a kiss can do this), is God or his date being honored?

Nigerian Mohammed Bello Abubakar, 84, has advised other men not to follow his example and marry 86 women.

The former teacher and Muslim preacher, who lives in Niger State with his wives and at least 170 children, says he is able to cope only with the help of God.

"A man with 10 wives would collapse and die, but my own power is given by Allah. That is why I have been able to control 86 of them," he told the BBC.

He says his wives have sought him out because of his reputation as a healer.

"I don't go looking for them, they come to me. I will consider the fact that God has asked me to do it and I will just marry them."

Nonbelievers: KJV says in ............................
Revelation21:8

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

And in Revelation20:10

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

I asked the question cause its funny on how they all go looking for questions like these so they can laugh.....they think that they are the ones that r getting a kick out of it, when infact Satan is loving their answers and loving the fact that I placed this out their for them to see....they saw, they can never say they didnt know and when they are with Satan then he will say................WELCOME HOME! When all we "me" as a Christian I just want to save some ones life from that.......but instead they moke us, when in the end it will be them that get moked

Thank you, Lord Jesus, that abstinence-only is taught at my public school!

1. I am given the only 100% effective way to keep myself free of AIDS and impregnating someone else. Condoms have an...11% failure rate, I believe? That's about 100,000 failures for every 1,000,000 condom uses!
2. I am WAY to young to be thinking about that kind of a relationship. I'm just a child, people!
3. I don't have to go through the embarrassment of my teacher showing us...those things...like that crazed teacher in the movie Juno..

(Apparently everyone who has never heard of Jesus: Children, babies, mentally handicapped, people on deserted islands, islamic countries all go to hell)

Why do some Christians think that those who have never heard the Gospel, still get into heaven?
Jesus said that He is the only way into heaven, and there is no other way.

So the question is asked sometimes, what about those who haven't heard? And Romans 1 answered the question, they're still guilty, and still deserving of eternal hell. There is no salvation outside of believing that Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross and rose again.

So why do some Christians think that there's some "exception" to this? If people are saved by not hearing, then we should shut down every Gospel preacher immediately, so that everyone goes to heaven.

Right?


The point is that such a false gospel as some Christians are teaching, is actually leading people to hell. The truth is that there is no way to heaven for anyone, outside of Jesus Christ, no matter whether they've heard or not.

[Will God hear the prayers of those that already are in heaven?
Unless God erases the memory of those in heaven, will they pray for the release of their loved relatives who are in hell?

Many families include believers and non-believers. It is only natural to assume the believers will never give up praying for their beloved family members who didn't believe and are in hell.]


Gyrine's answer:
You assume incorrectly. Those of us who go to heaven will have no memory of those in hell.

Some people probably mistakenly since they might not know better have been saying that the Church is bad and is run by Freemasons and Illuminati.

I am here to tell you that it is NOT TRUE. Jesus Christ who is the Son of God is the head of the Church and the Holy Spirit protects the Church from those who want to control it.

Every Easter on the Orthodox Easter, which is different than the Roman Catholic Easter, teh Holy Fire is emitted from the Holy Sepulchre with a hue completely different from that of natural light. It sparkles, it flashes like lightning, it flies like a dove around the tabernacle of the Holy Sepulchre, and lights up the unlit lamps of olive oil hanging in front of it. It whirls from one side of the church to the other. It enters some of the chapels inside the church, as for instance the chapel of the Calvery (at a higher level than the Holy Sepulchre) and lights up the little lamps. It lights up also the candles of certain pilgrims. In fact there are some very pious pilgrims who, every time they attended this ceremony, noticed that their candles lit up on their own accord!Marvel picture. For a few minutes after Holy Fire appearance, if it touches the face, or the mouth, or the hands, it does not burnhis divine light also presents some peculiarities: As soon as it appears it has a bluish hue and does not burn. At the first moments of its appearance, if it touches the face, or the mouth, or the hands, it does not burn. This is proof of its divine and supernatural origin. We must also take into consideration that the Holy Light appears only by the invocation of an Orthodox Archbishop.

The miracle does not occur for the Roman Catholic church.
The miracle does not occur for the Protestant church.
The miracle does not occur for the Mormon church.
The miracle does not occur for the Lutheran church.
The miracle does not occur for the Anglican church.
The miracle does not occur for the Fundamentalist church.
The miracle does not occur for any other denomination
but the miracle ONLY occurs for the Orthodox Church.

Quote# 44563

A Christian registrar who refused to perform same-sex civil partnership unions because she believes that gay marriage is "sinful" has won her claim for discrimination, testing the boundaries of the fledgling religious discrimination law.

"I am delighted at this decision," Ms Ladele said. "It is a victory for religious liberty, not just for myself but for others in a similar position. Gay rights should not be used as an excuse to bully and harass people over their religious beliefs."

The case was financed by the Christian Institute, a charity that has also filed a lawsuit against the internet seach engine Google for blocking an anti-abortion online advertisement.

Mike Judge, the institute's head of communications, said: "This important ruling confirms that gay rights should not be treated as trumping religious rights. The law clearly recognises this. If we really believe in equality before the law, that means respecting people who have sincerely held religious beliefs on sexual ethics. The witch-hunt against those who disagree with homosexual practice has to stop."

There is a woman in my playgroup who frequently cooks for the rest of us while our kids play together. Last week, she made these really yummy Indian "dosas" (crepes) with some kind of mango sauce. Anyway, today she was explaining another Indian recipe to some other women (she's not Indian, BTW). It sounded great, so I asked her where she gets all these recipes. She told me she studies Ayurvedic cooking. I knew that was a Hindu term, but I wasn't sure what it meant, and there was no time to get into it (my little guy was tired and ready to go home). I found a website explaining it here: http://www.sanatansociety.org/indian...ic_cooking.htm
This practice is deeply rooted in Hinduism, and the cooking of this type of food is a means of worship.

My question/dilemma is, should I now avoid this food since I know that it is essentially a sacrifice to idols? It would be easy to pass on the food (it wouldn't make a scene) but I'm not sure if it is necessary. I almost feel like I shouldn't touch it since I know what is behind it, KWIM?

I'd love some feedback on this

BTW, this woman also is very into Eckhart Tolle's book. So I know that she takes this stuff seriously.

According to science's PROOF, if you dumped some 1 cell creatures(amoeba) on the planet and came back 4 billions years later, athiests would say there would probably be a lot of life in the planet like there is now. But that is the theory of evolution. The proof of evolution would show that there would be a bunch of 1 cell creatures (amoeba) all over the planet. They would have a little bit of difference for the different type of enviorements, but that is it. That is all science can prove. And yet athiests put all of their trust into this. It is a terrible shame.

IMHO, I think the trumpet used to glorify and call up the saints will be unlike any other trumpet. It is a heavenly trumpet, meaning it will have no imperfections and will be tuned to a degree we are probably unaware exists. Also, I believe it's going to be supernaturally LOUD and come from high above! All believers anywhere on the planet will have no illusions about what it is.

The first time we hear the Lord's voice will be stunning. Immediately following the trumpet blast we will hear His voice hit our ears: "COME UP HERE!!!" This command i believe will be very similar to the one used to summon Lazarus from the dead in it's tone and authority. All the dead in Christ will streak skyward to our visible eyes perhaps if we are outside at the time. not even a millisecond later, we will follow them up as cloud and blue streak past us in blinding ferocity. We will be changed on the way up: from weak, frail, sin capable, but forgiven, mortals to: sinless, strong, refined, immortals. We probably won't feel immortal, but we will simply know that it is impossible for us to die. IMHO we will hear our names called and that trumpet blast will be very loud, and sound unlike any earthly trumpet in tune and pitch.

How should I go about saving the child of my atheist neighbor?
He is 12 years old and DOES NOT BELIEVE IN JESUS!
I have tried inviting him to church but he makes excuses as to why he can't go. I think his atheist parents are coercing him to stay away from God.

He is into video games so for his birthday I bought him the "Left Behind" game so that hopefully he will understand what will happen to this world soon and be willing to accept Jesus into his heart. I have also considered reading bible passages aloud in my backyard when he is outside in his backyard.

What else can I do to get him to understand the fate that awaits him if he fails to accept Jesus?

I need some help regarding this blasphemous movie. The link to the movie is below, but ,please, DO NOT watch it unless you are absolutely strong in your Christian walk, and only then after praying for discernment.

A friend of my DH's sent this to him, and is this friend is being greatly influenced by it. If someone here has some argument against it please give it, because the film is rather convincing. There are lot's of holes, like December 25th and the three kings, which aren't mentioned in the Bible at all, but as far as some other comments I don't know what to say. I did not watch the entire thing, only the first few minutes, since that all I could stomach.

Guess what, you don't HAVE to like it. Surely you don't think it matters to me whether you or anyone else likes it. I couldn't care less. The reason gay people feel persecuted and afraid is because everyone knows that shit is not right. Otherwise it would never be an issue and no one would be bitching and moaning because they didn't have the same rights as everyone else. And no honey, that's not a "fantasy world", that's being a Christian.

Quote# 44501

The functioning of parietal cells is vividly described in the Gospels, from the "Last Supper", through "Judas' kiss" to Pilate's hand washing.

...


The "Last" Supper: Jesus (water) brings food to the body's hungry cells.

The agony in the garden: Jesus (water) knows that his Father (you) will feel hungry and will eat food.

The three "authorities" initiate the parietal cell's unique process. (as mentioned by dvimus in prior post). They are the priests, the pharisees, and King Herod.

Jesus (water) is kissed by Judas (carbonic anhydrase). Carbon dioxide is present (product of combustion-torches).

Jesus (water) is changed by Judas' kiss and a "certain young man" enters the story. This young man is a proton removed from the water molecule. Judas' soldiers attempt to restrain the young man (proton) but only succeed in retaining his garment (single electron). The young man flees away. (to exit the parietal cell and join with the chloride ion to form HCL)

Jesus is now bicarbonate.

He is judged, finally, by Pilate (the chloride/bicarbonate exchanger) who, at the request of the Jews, releases Barabbas (chloride) into the cell and sends Jesus (bicarbonate) into the blood stream.

No more is said, in the Gospels, about the "certain young man", or Barabbas, which is fitting since they both disappear out of the parietal cell into the stomach.

Jesus' fate, as bicarbonate, is crucifixion between two thieves. Those thieves represent acid and base imbalance. When Jesus tastes the vinegar, he gives up his spirit. In other words, he (bicarbonate) neutalizes excess acidity in the blood. (a crucial function)

[Note for readers from a subsequent poster:
Parietal cells produce gastric acid in response to histamine, via H2 receptors, acetylcholine (M3 receptors) and gastrin (CCK2 receptors). The histamine receptors act by increasing intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate [cAMP], whereas the muscarinic and gastrin receptors increase intracellular Ca2+ levels. Both cAMP and Ca2+ acts via protein kinases to increase the transport of acid into the stomach.]

According to Darwin's law of survival of the fittest will atheists die out

because they don't reproduce. In order for any species, group or culture to live on they need to reproduce. Atheists might be able to survive as a group by passing on this belief system to those who are not their children but usually Christian families create Christian children and atheists much the same. There are always exceptions but I'm wondering if the lack of child-bearing will hurt their cause. In eastern Europe where Atheist communists killed off any religious belief they are losing population dramatically. Russia has a net loss of 800,000 a year. American and Western Eurpean atheists are much the same being way under the replacement level. Is this cultural suicide. The religious usually have way more children and teach them their traditions. Any thoughts?

Quote# 44529

A man knocks on your door. As soon as you answer, you recognize him from the posters around town. He’s a known thief and sexual predator of young girls who has just escaped from prison. He asks if he can go into your teens’ bedroom to hang out with them for a while. Of course you say, “No way!” so he asks if he can just come into your living room and hang out. You say, “Absolutely not!” So he finally just settles for hanging out with the whole family as you watch a litany of popular TV shows that night; as you spend “family time” together.

If we, under any circumstances, wouldn’t let that man into the rooms of our kids (whether male of female) why would we let a TV or computer reside in our kids’ bedrooms? These modern occupiers of time dispense a river of polluted entertainment riddled with the same values driving the visitor at your front door. Why would you let all those people into your house? Every time we let unsupervised media into our homes and into our kids’ minds, we have invited a terrorist into our home.

You may be surprised at how many “terrorists” there are in your home right now. Video games, computers, cell phones, teen magazines, music, TV, & movies: all of which fall under the umbrella of entertainment and all are likely perpetrators. But in particular, entertainment in the form of movies, television and music is what is shaping our young generation. Although we consider them entertainment, they are actually infotainment. They impart values and information about the world, maybe information about life, that your kids are not ready to process and absorb. The problem is that too many parents use these avenues to keep their kids occupied, allowing them to witness just a part of the “unavoidable” culture in which we live. For example, television, broadcasts some 20,000 sex scenes that the average young person will view by the time he or she graduates from high school!
