-- I almost spit out my Coke laughing when I read this, GZ. I made this VERY point as a seventh grader in Catholic school and was punished. Thankfully, they quit hitting us with the wooden rods after fifth grade. I pointed out that when you are attempting to contact a non-living being who is...

"are about to be..." "is about to be..." -- I have been hearing we are the very cusp of this since I became a Christian over 30 years ago. (Of course I was also told Christ would come back no later than 1986 because that was a generation after Israel was reborn, so.....) What specifically...

There he goes again, assuming that volume = value. lol Call me old fashioned, but when you get down on your knees, close you eyes, and fold your hands in order to speak to someone who is not a human being currently living here on earth, I would have to call that 'praying.' Especiall if you...

These questions are generally better accepted if the person making the query shares their answer to the question they ask first.

You are correct. CNN reported that several people who are not paying income taxes are receiving a "tax refund" from Uncle Sam. Anderson Cooper chuckled in wonder as he reported that people are "receiving a check called a 'refund' on money that they did not pay."

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. Mr. Obama is on record as supporting abortion up through partial-birth abortion, and three times as Senator voted against a law requiring doctors to provide medical aid to babies that survived botched abortions. He is on par with NARAL and NOW. The...

OH HOW MISLED REPUBLICAN'S CAN BE! Republicanism isn't the party of God. And...You've been fooled! The last time the Supreme Court voted on abortion, 3 of the 5 republican justices voted in favor to uphold abortion! -- lol Ease up on the drama. No one said the Republican part is the...

The selection of the Pope is definitely NOT divinely ensured. The book "The Bad Popes" by E.R. Chamberlin proves that in detail.

-- lol That reminds me of the phrase "Congratulations, you've just volunteered!"

My favorite Liberal canard is that the rich "Don't pay their fair share" of taxes. This may be true for corporations. General Electric paid ZERO dollars in taxes over the last several years. Strangely enough GE's CEO Jeff Emmelt sits on Obama's "Jobs Council." Apparently that "not paying...

-- But when we stand before God, we will be judged on what we did as individuals. The sacrifices we made ourselves, what was in our heart, the stewardship of the finances God entrusted us with personally, the efforts we made as individuals to serve those in need. He is not going to judge us...

Fasting, when done right, can bring amazing changes in your life and your relationship with Jesus. I believe God expects it and rewards the sincere sacrifice. Jesus didn't say "If you fast," he said "WHEN you fast...."

"What do you think of long hair and beards?" -- Seemed to work for Christ...

-- I gotta tell you Aspen, I don't know whether you skipped some meds or perhaps have low blood sugar or what, but there really is no connection between your questions and the discussion as to whether or not Jesus needs someone's prayers filtered through Mary first. And I hate to break it to...

Your rhetorical question was "Since when do human laws superceed God's laws for Christians?" - Aspen "For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and...

I don't make a lot of recommendations as far as books, but there is a book by Francis Chan called "Forgotten God: Reversing our tragic neglect of the Holy Spirit" and it is amazing. If you want to see the Holy Spirit in a new and deeper way beyond focusing on speaking in tongues, etc., I would...

-- If Scripture is to be believed and Jesus loves me intimately, loved me enough to die for me, longs to speak with me, and is sitting at the right hand of The Father as my intercessor, then why would I need to speak to Mary or 'the saints?' What exactly and specifically would they need to...

But what was that other thing you were mentioning? Oh yes....."God's law supercedes man's law." "For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day...

Foreigner said, -- Please note, Jesus calls you to sell YOUR OWN possessions. He doesn't call on you to coerce others to sell theirs. He also doesn't tell you to pass laws to force others to give more of thier possessions than they wish to. That is because when you stand before God, you will...

-- "Deeply offended?" I have never encountered any such thing. Every Christian you've known? Are you speaking specifically about Catholics (who are of course Christians). If you are, I must say that in the decades I was a Catholic, I never once heard this discussed or required. In the years...
