Question For You God People...

[flora]

No wonder I didn't stick with it!

Not so much on the short shorts and tank tops.... I think that's a Baptist thing

If short shorts were taboo then John Stockton would have been run out of Salt Lake City on a rail.

and I'm pretty sure that all of the religions of the God of Abraham frown on masturbation...too bad for them!

lol the tank tops and the short shorts are a newer thing--something about dressing....er unrevealingly? lol i don't know.

i was mormon "briefly" while i had a mormon boyfriend. funny how that happens, eh? i never abided by the tank top rule (i adore tank tops)....and they made a joke one time about how the rule is for girls....and older guys who wear those short shorts I guess the rule is that shorts should be at the knee or lower. o_O


as for the masturbation rules....what's up with that?

 

[Beelzebubba]

I know to most mainstream Christians, Latter Day Saints are weird: I mean LDS believe that Jesus Christ visited the Mayans and Aztecs (based on John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. .) They back this up with the fact that many Native cultures upon meeting European explorers thought them to be "The Second Coming of the Great White God".



I know, it sounds silly.

But nothing is quite as crazy as a Pentacostal or Charismatic Christian Church.

When they stand on the "Word of God" they literally stand on their Bibles.
They take the Bible verbatim, letter of the law
And when the Holy Spirit comes over them, LOOK OUT!, rolling and lurching about, speaking in tongues...etc...

It's a freak show!

man, i've seen people start rolling around on the ground and speaking in tongues.....it wasn't encouraging me to go to their church. I just came for the Easter play......which I though was going to be about the Easter Bunny. lol.

i studied w/ a guy, spent alot of time searching for religions....went to a few of those churches where they do their holy spirit dance, scream and shout, then slap your forhead and heal you.....

he said they called him on stage one time, did a bunch of mumbo jumbo, then hit him in the forhead....he just stood there for a second while everyone on stage stared at him....he finally felt so embarassed that he just decided to fall over like everyone else...and the crowd went wild

 

[neoc03]

Heres the deal. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW OLD THE EARTH IS. The real idea behind true Christianity is: To believe that Christ died for your sins, repent for your sins, accept Christ into your heart, change your ways to live a more Godly life and honor him. That's all that matters. Not when dinosaurs died, not what types of animals were on the Ark. Nothing else matters but the simple basis of your relationship with Christ, trying to live WWJD (as tacky as that sounds its a real simple way to live a Christian life), and your desire to see other people come (not forced or badgered into it) to Christ. Allot of "Christians" miss this point and get caught up in religion (rules the Church has decided are fact) and push allot of potential Christians away. Don't be fooled by these TV preachers allot of the are scam artists and they do great damage to true Christianity.

 

[Rand0m]

i think people ask WWJD as long as it fits into their lifestyle....

jesus spent the time after his baptism PREACHING, nonstop, about gods coming kingdom....how many "christians" do that?

 

[Akiahara96]

if everyone who called themselves a christian preached all the time... i'd lock myself in the house and never speak to anyone. that would be crazy, imo.

omFG! lol. i giggled hella loudly at this. lol.

 

[Rand0m]

haha....it was funny hearing him tell the story...the look on his face was hilarious

 

[Jimmy2times]

hahah thats great. my mom goes to an assembly of god church penecostal church. i can appreciate some of the holy spirit business, but i think that it becomes overdone and part of a show. speaking in tongues is biblical, but i think that a lot of people just do it to fit in and feel entitled.

idk. i shouldn't judge i guess.

 

[$lick Rick]

jesus saves, but ludicrous withdraws ?

 

[Beelzebubba]

Jesus doesn't save!

Jesus is always short of cash.

I know this because some preacher on TV, at any given hour of the day, is always trying to hustle some cash for Jesus.

 

[dank24]

we are all going to die anyway. Bush is threating WW III on iran

 

[Jimmy2times]

actually, dank for bush to threaten world war III, it would require the world to be behind either him or iran...


hence, "world war."


and i wouldn't worry about us all dying because of a massive war. i think thats an outdated outlook on the apocolypse. lol. the whole world ending from nukes theory was big in the 70's i think that the hot thing these days is pandemic or worldspread economic recession.


crazy kids

I Love My Honda.......... How Bout U?

i was actually gonna say something along thosse lines a little bit ago.

and BIZ, u make a good point. lol

 

[Beelzebubba]

"God made weed, Man made alcohol. Who you trust?"

Actually, God made alcohol.

Bees would abandon a hive. The honey would ferment. Cavemen would find the naturally occuring Mead and get mad shithammered drunk. Cavemen started to migrate to find more booze.

I think the search for some Barenjager was the actual reason homo habilis left Africa.
