Answer to:
How did Jesus pay for people's sins? Did he use a credit card, a check, or did he pull out his Holy Wallet?
He paid for peoples sins by taking it upon himself to take the punishment for our sins. He paid in blood and pain so that you may not have to do so. The punishment for sin is death. He died so that you may live with him. He substituted himself for you. And in doing so gives you the opportunity to live forever.

Ultimately you don't want anyone or anything to tell you what is right and that you are wrong. Wrong morally, wrong sexually, wrong in your beliefs and disbeliefs.

I know that the command fix bayonets is used to attach the bayonet to the rifle. I believe that charge bayonet is the act of leveling the bayonet at the enemy and...

I have owned a raven in the past. I do not consider it a safe weapon to carry with a round in the chamber. It is striker fired and pressure on the safety could cause an accidental discharge. When I had an FFL in the 1980's they were wholesale priced at 37.50 each. You got what you paid for. I would much prefer carrying a nice used steel revolver or small frame automatic. Even a grendel in...

I just bought an xd-9 subcompact. I went to the range with my brother and his girlfriend. It worked flawlessly after 150 dirt cheap rounds but when my brothers girlfriend went to fire it, for some reason an empty shell got lodged in the ejection area.
The two answers about not holding the gun tightly are most probably correct. You need to give the gun a stable platform to work from. She was probably too afraid of the weapon to grip it tightly.

If God is within us, are we not defiling our bodies by eating meat?
No.
In Matthew 6:25 Jesus said "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?"
So don't worry about what kind of things you eat. It isn't what you put in your mouth that defiles you, but what comes out of your heart.

How can a person with biblical training and education with(assuming part of their training,) a knowledge of greek and hebrew and the proper exegesis of the two, knowingly condone homosexual behaviour amongst members and, in somecases, clergy?
Quite frankly they can only do so as heretics.
Both old and new testament clearly describe in no uncertain terms the sinful nature of homosexuality. Those who choose to ignore those proscriptions, and not only condone but celebrate that practice place themselves in direct opposition to both Christ and scripture. They are accurately described in Romans 1:32 as those “Who knowing the...

Answer to:
I don't believe in God yet I have a fascination with angels, esp. Archangels such as Raphael, Gabriel, Michael, Uriel etc. Does this mean that I believe in them?
The word angel derives from the word angelos, meaning messenger. If I were a commander on a field of battle and I wanted to send a message to the leader of the troops on my right flank, I would send an angelos, or an angel with the message. I find it curious that you are willing to consider the idea of messengers, but not the possibility of the originator of the message.

Moses was not baptized, Abraham was not baptized, Issac was not baptized, Jacob was not baptized. The thief on the cross next to Jesus was not baptized.

(8) As a non-profit Protestant Church are you free to hear sermons and pray about current political issues that call for decisions to be made? Please answer yes, no, uncertain, or don’t know.
If your church is organized as a 501 c 3 non profit corporation then they do not have the legal ability to endorse or condemn any particular candidate or political party. Thank you for that Lyndon b. Johnson.
501c3 tax status allows for contributions and operations on a non taxable format. You can give reciepts that would be tax deductable for your contributors.

Answer to:
True or False: anti-semitism is christain-derived?
False.
Jesus was a Jew. His mother was a Jew. His apostles were Jews. For true Christians to be anti Semitic would be to hate Christ himself. Therefore anti Semitism is not derived from Christianity.
However persons making the claim that they are Christians can be anti-Semitic. Just as persons making the claim that they are Christians can be adulterers or thieves or homosexuals....

Answer to:
Xians why camel or goat not work for blood sacrifice why did god have to sacrifice only son?
I suppose the fact that you cannot even bring yourself to type the word Christ may be an indication of where you are at. Still let's examine the question.
Why was the blood sacrifice of a came or goat insufficent? Why did god have to sacrifice his only son?
Is a camel or a goat worth the same as a man? Certainly not. The idea that animal sacrifice will cover the sins of man is a...

Answer to:
If God created man in His image, why are we not sin free?
In the original creation, man was made free of sin. In the Garden of Eden both man and woman were made without sin. When eve was decieved by the serpent, she brought sin into her life. When adam, who was not decieved by the serpent, voluntarily ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, in order to share eve's fate, he brought sin into his life.
In this way we are all heirs of...

Answer to:
Ew I hate sex! How do I satisfy my horny wife? What are some ways to satisfy her besides sex or anything of a sexual nature? How do I get her to understand that I married for love, not lust and that marriage isn't about sex? Why does she get horny anyway?
Well if sex has become a "job" for you then here is one alternative.
You can outsource or put more men on the job.
And no I am not volunteering for the position.
On a more serious note. Lack of a sex drive could be an indication of other more serious health issues. I'm not talking just mental health either. Go to your doctor and get a full check up. You may have...

Answer to:
Believers in predestination: Do you not find it somewhat disturbing that God would know who was damned, yet allow billions to be born with no chance of any fate except eternal suffering?
Do I find it disturbing that God would know who was damned, yet allow billions to be born with no chance of any fate other than eternal suffering?
No, I do not find it disturbing.
My reasoning is thus.
One of the defining attributes of god is omniscience. God knows everything. He knows all that was, all that is, and all that will be. Does that means he loves us less, knowing we are...
Answer to:
Do you think that people who condone and support (verbally of monatarily) terrorism against the United States should be weeded out and either imprisoned or deported?
Anyone giving monetary or logistical support to terrorist should be imprisoned. Any US citizen carry out terrorist attacks or giving support (monetary, logistical, or moral) to terrorist should be tried for treason and hung from a lamp post as an example.
An example. Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi D-CA, after the 9-11 attacks held a news conference in which she announced that the...

Answer to:
Christians and religious right wingers, is it a sin to let the kids watch Sponge Bob with his showing of his underwear and even worse?
The answer is no. It is not inately sinful to watch sponge bob squarepants.
Now why is it I get the feeling that this question is phrased in something of a hostile manner? Somehow I don't think you were looking for an opinion on sin as much as a confrontation.

I am a protestant (never married) and my boyfriend and i plan on getting married, but, he is catholic. What do I have to do to convert? I was baptised as a baby, but I'm not too sure what else i have to do?
If you have questions about converting to the catholic faith, go ask a priest. He will be more than happy to answer all your questions in an authoritative way as to what the church requirements are.
Answer to:
If I am baptised Episcapol; can I be unbaptised? Just to end my part in being part of a religion I never had belief in. As Episcapols we can be baptised at any age, I did not make the choice as a one month old.
You can’t become unbaptized any more than you can unring a bell. But what you can do is to renounce your baptism. You can renounce being a Christian.
Jesus tells us that the only way to escape the punishment we deserve for the sins we have committed is to accept him and to invite him into our lives. Realize that if you reject Gods’ provision for the removal of the penalty of...

Do you believe it's a sin to support gay rights? (Serious question from one Christain to all of you, please no spam, or hate messages)
Do I believe it is a sin to support gay rights?
What does it mean to be gay? It means that you are engaged in committing acts that are defined in the bible as sexual sin. I could no more support gay rights than I could support adulterers’ rights, or child molesters’ rights. Or the rights of people that want to have sex with animals. All these are sexual sins. All these are...
Answer to:
Will pre-marital sex send me to hell?
Ok, lets break this down a bit.
Is premarital sex a sin? In the bible the technical term for this is either fornication or adultery. In both cases, yes, this is a sin.
What are the penalties for sinning? According to the bible the penalty for sin is death. An eternity separated from god, living forever in the lake of fire. This is the just payment for sin. Any sin, no matter how...
Answer to:
There are many 'taboos' in the Bible, regarding sexuality, that are now ignored. And yet, the Bible is spouted repeatedly against homosexual sex. How can someone use the Bible to say one thing is wrong while dismissing other wrongs listed in the Bible?
Well, this answer will not be popular with most of the people who have commented on this question, yet I feel I must make at least an attempt to answer the question.
You are quite correct when you say there are many “taboos” regarding sexual behavior in the bible. What you need to differentiate is the difference between what the bible teaches and what certain...
Answer to:
How many tribes of Israel are there?
The answer is that it depends. The tribe of Joseph was sometime divided into the tribe of Manasseh and Ephraim. There are times when the author wants to refer to the twelve tribes including Judah. Then reference is made to the tribe of Joseph. Some times the tribe of Judah is excluded, for instance to number the tribes for war. In that case then reference is made to the tribes of Manasseh...
Answer to:
Who were responsible,Biblically, for the first recorded POGROM in history ,and why did they do this?
I would say the first pogrom was initiated by Haman in Persian court of King Ahasuerus, who may also have been known as Xerxes. Please refer to the book of Esther for details.
Although a case could also be made that Lucifer has been trying to destroy the Jews since time immemorial.

Answer to:
Scrolls are known to vanish to history, like those in the old Library of Alexandria. There was a 400-year gap in the Bible, so do you suppose that some Bible books didn't make it? Might there have been books after Revelation as well?
Regarding the Old Testament. In about 270 BC the Hebrew bible was converted from the original Hebrew into Greek. This translation is known as the Septuagent. Septuagent means seventy, for it is said that seventy scholars made the translation. The Septuagent is the text that Jesus quoted from when speaking to the people. We can therefore verify that the old testament as being whole and...

Where does it say in the Bible that Jesus' was NAILED to the Cross? (If you have to google the answer that's fine, but don't try to pass it off as original, please)

How about John 20:25.
The other disciples therefore said unto him, we have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
And John 20:27
