Answer to If (there is a) God loves us why would he/she make us suffer ? Why would he make loved ones die and wars kill millions !

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:01:19 -0800

If (there is a) God loves us why would he/she make us suffer ? Why would he make loved ones die and wars kill millions !

Who "makes us suffer", HannaH.?. And who makes war? We, human beings, give each other pain and cause each other suffering and pain. Yes, I know there are illnesses that are hard to explain, but, this world was not created as a "replica" of Heaven or whatever you conceive of a perfect world....

Answer to Antitheists are always asking for proof there is no God. Can any one prove without a doubt (using facts) there is no God? Absolute proof.

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 07:52:33 -0800

Antitheists are always asking for proof there is no God. Can any one prove without a doubt (using facts) there is no God? Absolute proof.

No, of course not. Nor can the existence of God be "proven" scientifically. The "facts" presented by one can always be denied as irrelevant by another. It comes down in the end to individual belief and choice. "Proof" such as Paul and others have been given, individually, can always be called...

Answer to In Islam, was Jesus put on the cross but Allah took him away before he died. He was not technically 'crucified'. Who was put on the cross?

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 02:37:35 -0800

In Islam, was Jesus put on the cross but Allah took him away before he died. He was not technically 'crucified'. Who was put on the cross?

Islam is "mistaken" in this. It was certainly Jesus who was crucified. And he endured it to the end. His last spoken words, "It is finished", indicates this. The spear in the heart by the Roman soldier was simply to ascertain death, as the bodies had to be removed before the beginning of the...

It is difficult, TINKERBELLE, I don't know why some people go into the health care professions. Many do not belong there. I suppose it is much the same question as why some people go into teaching...when they obviously do not belong there. I don't know what the answer is. There is such a...

Fri, 25 Dec 2009 16:51:32 -0800

When you hang out with friends, do you tend to see each person individually, or it it typically more a group setting?

Both. I have several friends that I see in group settings...and a few that I usually hang with on an individual basis, like fishing trips, etc., or concerts by certain groups. It isn't that I "like" any one more or less. It depends on what we are interested in.

Oh, yeah. It was popular in my town when I was a kid. Some churches still do it, but it is getting rare. Most just go to certain homes of other church members instead of covering whole neighborhoods, now. Sad, in a way. It was fun. But you can probably guess all the reasons why they...

Answer to Women complain about being charged more for haircuts and underwear but do men complain about not getting in free on "Ladies Night"?

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 23:43:18 -0800

Women complain about being charged more for haircuts and underwear but do men complain about not getting in free on "Ladies Night"?

Well, men are now charged as much for "haircuts" as women now. I will agree that our underwear is still cheaper...and lasts longer. But, if women would only buy Hanes cotton drawers, theirs would be cheaper, too. And no, I don't mind Ladies' Night, as long as they keep my "Happy Hour". (lol)

What is the definition of a right-hand ring?

It may or may not "mean" anything. We usually wear our school class rings on our right hand. I have an Air Force service ring that I also wear on my right ring finger, but not all the time. The ancient Romans wore a "signet ring" on their right hand. They used it to 'stamp' their name and...

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 19:29:42 -0800

when will the Jesus Christ will returns as we have been waiting for 2000 years?

No one knows. "When will these things come to pass, Lord?" "Only the Father knows". Jesus was not "omniscient" when he was among us as a man. He was given knowledge when He needed it. That is why I look askance at anyone who say they know when the "time" will come. If Jesus did not know,...

My dad brought back a Japanese "Rising Sun" flag from WWII. I just keep it folded and with some other momentos, like a Japanese officer's sword. No big deal. He didn't make a big deal of them either. My uncle, however, did bring back a .38 Luger from Europe. He got it off an officer he had...

Jonas is the Latinized form of the Hebrew 'Jonah', which means 'dove' (the bird, not diving into the sea, smile). The story of the prophet Jonah is pretty well known. His name, meaning, the dove, has been pondered. It may have nothing to do with the story, except that Jonah did try to "fly"...

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 07:55:39 -0800

Wouldn't Mexico be a better place if the Spanish hadn't come a long and messed it all up?

Hard to say. The Aztecs would probably have expanded their power all over the area and continued their enslavement of other tribes, using them as human sacrifices to their gods, several every day and 364 on the New Year "celebration". The blood stains can still be seen in the steps of one of...

Do you say 18 year old boy or 18 year old man?

Society still generally says, "boy", but the law and the military says, "man". It is greatly a matter of convenience. When they commit a crime, they are legal adults, and when they are needed for cannon fodder, they are "men". All other times, they are "boys", especially when they are looking...

Is drinking red wine dangerous? Does it destroy human brain cells,or could this be merely an old wives' tale|?

All alcoholic drinks will "destroy brain cells" if they are abused. Even the medical profession today says red wine in moderation is probably good for the heart and for digestion. The operative word is moderation, as with all alcohol.

Should Religious Leaders Be Able to Endorse Political Candidates?

Religious leaders or "spokespersons" certainly have no less right to publicly endorse a candidate for public office than any other spokesperson for any tax exempt organization or lobby group (which are legion). Saying they cannot would mean that religious people are second class citizens, but...

Christians, does this make sense? God has the power of creation & made us in it's image. Woman also have the power of creation, therefore God is a woman & it should be women who control the church not men.

Women "bear" children. They do not "create" them in the sense that God creates. At any rate, we don't "inherit" our immortal souls from our parents. That comes from God. And many women are in leadership roles in many churches. However, it is a misjudgement to think that being in a priestly...

In the past when literacy rates and educational standards in the general population were low I could understand that there was a need for the Bible to be read out loud. But what is the point of having Pastors / Priests / Vicars etc in these modern times?

All churches have the basic system of heirarchy, i.e., officials who oversee the organization, perform the ordinances, etc. And "reading" not necessarily mean understanding. So, there must always be teachers in the church. True, a well-read individual can have their own interpretation of...

It certainly is, Lealea. He betrayed your trust. And he betrayed his own office. So did his wife. I would "shake the dust of that place from my shoes and go my way". But, don't think all clergy or pastors or churches are like this, honey. They are not. I know you may be distrustful for a...

Who decides how much the pastor of a church gets paid? Some pastors make hundreds of thousands of $$$ per year plus perks.

The "deacons", I guess. I don't know about that stuff. Our priesthood is not paid. Only the missionaries and full time seventies, Apostles, and Presidency is salaried. We don't pay people to get up once a week and perform for us...or tell us what we want to hear.
