Hi- I was reading Matthew the other night and got stumped by this: And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. -Matthew 1:16 Why am I stumped you ask? Well Joseph is not the biological father of Jesus, so this lineage presented to us in...

I've read a few posts here recently where a lot of people say that they don't believe the bible is all truth but some of it is. How can man pick and choose which parts to base their whole entire lives on? How can we worship something based on what human beings wrote?

Ramadan Mubarak for all the Muslims here! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Ok so maybe this hopefully won't be a contentious thread, God willing. :D What benefits do you feel you gain through fasting? One that was described to me was that in preventing myself from doing that which is not only permitted but prescribed for me...........I will be more strong when I...

Ok this is for the Christians to answer: 1) If Jesus = God, why did he pray to God to let the chalice pass from him in the garden of Gethsemane? 2) If Jesus = God, and he knew that he had to be the sacraficial lamb to save all sins, why did he have to be betrayed in order to do this? Why...

I've noticed that the majority of topics started in this section are not really giving a warm n fuzzy feeling towards Muslims. What's up with that? Why does it always have to be so full of anger? If you are truly trying to bring us over to Christianity, shouldn't your posts be full of love and...

so I'll say goodbye. :cry: :cry: I love all of you very much. You have been a big part of my life for well over a year now, but for reasons I don't want to talk about because it will start a HUGE debate here, I won't be able to post here soon. I'll still be posting in that "other...

So......tell me this: In a situation where the family consists of an ailing father, one son and two unwed sisters, is it really the responsibility of the only son, in a Muslim family, to take care of the sisters until they are married?:confused:

Ok stupid question and for some reason I can't look this up. Who are the 12 apostles and did they all attend the last supper? Also.....who was with Mary at the cross? Was it one of the apostles? Thanks!:wave:

I don't know if we've ever had a favorite recipe thread and I can't find a section in CF where there is one. I can cook, but I'm bored with my normal recipes and I want something good! Anyone?

http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_1985739,00.html The Pope said it's not good to work too hard. <bridget plops down on the couch, puts her feet up, grabs the clicker and begins to have some Pope-sanctioned relaxation!!!> :thumbsup:

I know this subject has been beated to death but I need links to modest clothing stores. I looked at some of the past threads on the topic but none of the stores really has anything I like........... I really want a long denim skirt and then I can put modest tunics with them and mix and...

So I'm kneeling saying my 10 Hail Mary's and offering them up for the souls of my family members who have departed and suddenly I"m like, "how did he come up with this penance???". I mean it's totally unrelated to the sin. As far as I can tell.:sorry: Sooooooooooooo.......for all of those...

Ok so I know that fortune tellers are not ok to go to, right? Well a long time ago, before I had my daughters, a friend of mine told me that if you take your necklace off and hold it above your stomach and just wait, it will make circles after it has come to a complete stop. One direction...

So I come home from work tonight, say hi to the cat, go in the kitchen, flick on the light and *POOF* I hear a big huge POP sound and sparks fly everywhere and the light goes off. :eek: The cat freaked out and tried to sniff the spark bits so I shooed her away and I went on doing my...

So who is going to see the World Trade Center? I may go this afternoon with a friend. I just feel like I'm drawn to it somehow. Maybe it is because it is so near the anniversary. I'm actually suprised they didn't wait until 9/11 to show it.

:sorry: let the bashing begin. :sorry: What I'd like to know is what exactly does the church require in order to marry us? I'm not saying that it will absolutely happen but we are talking about it since he believes in courting, not in dating and I have to look at all of the pros and cons...

Ok so I got this headset/microphone so I can chat with my friend online, right? Well...I was hoping to play my music on it so that he can hear it too.......but I don't know how to do that. The music only goes into my headphones now, not into the speaker so I'm not sure that the sound will be...

This is kind of an offshoot of a previous thread, but I have many questions regarding the issues behind a muslim man marrying a christian woman. I have read many horror stories about how things are just peachy-keen during the courting phase, the man is understanding, is ok with the woman...
