Interesting topic. I was talking with someone the other night about the pharaoh and they thought what he had done was evil, to fight against Moses, I was quick to point out he had done just what God had wanted him to do. God said "I have hardened his heart". So does this mean he did good or bad? Also God said "I will have mercy on who I will have mercy", so if you are made into a bad example do...

Absolutely, whatever you sow is what you reap and even if it doesn't come directly to you than it might come to someone who you love and care about. But I also believe that sometimes bad things happen so better things can come our way or because there is a lesson we need to learn.

I'm Christian and I don't have any pictures of Jesus (which wouldn't be anything what he looked like anyways) and I don't have any crosses or crucifixions hanging on any of the walls either. To me its Idolatry I can't say if its right for anyone else but for me it just does not feel like the right thing to do. As far as prayers I keep that between me and God.

I think its a good thing that Christians can at least agree on a few things. Sometimes Christians can be most critical of each other by separation of denomination. Many times I have heard of one side condemning the other side its sad.

I am christian but not of catholic denomination. I believe Christ was the son of God in spirit and that his spirit existed before the flesh he took on in this world. I don't believe he is the same as God and it doesn't say that anywhere in the bible that they are the same person, to me saying I and my father are one only means in will and purpose not as one being, as the prayer he said for the ...

Well looking at the other posts I would have to disagree at a few points. I am not so sure the world is getting better true violent crimes may be down compared to what they were but the world in general isn't more peaceful not just with the two wars that the US is involved in but look at Africa and some of the atrocities that still goes on. It seems that our so called civilized societies are co...

Yes they happen and some of the ones I had came true. Either it was my subconscious trying to tell me things my conscious mind wasn't seeing or it was true vision but it doesn't matter to me. That debate don't really matter because all that really matters is that it happened, in my opinion. Maybe you just have to be more open to your surroundings or the deeper things in life, the 9-5 life isn't...

You are correct, as I read your post several verses came to mind: 1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar. I must admit there was times when I have had a hard time swallowing this. James 1:27 Pure, unstained religion, according to God our Father, is to take care of orphans and widows when they suffer and to remain uncorrupted by this world. There are man...

Jesus preached the resurrection, he also said its not a question of heaven and hell but of life or death. The only time he talked about suffering was in a parable. So you think you die and go straight to heaven and hell? How can this be when Jesus said no one has ascended except he who descended and even he must be lifted up as the snake in the wilderness? If the dead in Christ shall rise first...
