Just a question for my brothers and sisters, and the children of the corn may also answer?

I feel that science is a natural path of our growth as human beings.  It helps us to grow and change and we need that.  Humans are not meant to be static!  I believe science and religion can coexist if people would seperate all the politcs from it.\n\nBlessed Be.

Have you never actually READ the Bible --Dude  ??\nDo you not see the consistant rage of war and pillage contained therein ??  A lot of it centering around the very thing you are asking here-- conflict over land ??\nWhat about a Christian ethic thing do you think saves a people from being sucked into conflict and resolution ??\nThe individual Christian is expected to show love and honor toward his or her neighbor and to be charitable  etc etc etc---but they are never expected to be sheep to the slaughter for the conflicts with nations and the well being of their families , friends and soveriegn rights !!!\nOn top of all of this---your description of the events here with Mexico is just simply off base 180 degrees from the facts (as explained by several of the respondants here)

Greek are you? I believe everyone, Christians included have become more and more of this world instead of trying to keep themselves in touch with God or their loved ones. How many of us only see our families (extended) once or twice a year. When I was a child my father and my uncle spent a great deal of time together and his 3 boys and I and my 2 sisters would play and have a great time. Today I live 30 miles from 1 sister and only see her a couple of times a year. I think God intended us to spend more time cultivating our relationship with Him and with our family and instead we cultivate our wallets. When do we take our families back and leave the worldly things to the world to handle?

Ha ha ahahahahahahahaha, oh man. That was funny. Just what I needed thanks. Christians really hate it when you feed them with their own spoon.

It actually depends on their diocese.  I know the bishop in ours offered a special dispensation that allows Catholics to eat corned beef on St. Patrick's Day.  Our Irish and Catholic population is pretty large, so it was a big deal.  I'm not Catholic and I don't really get it, but there you go.

Name of any Blessed God, why would anyone want to do that? They might be bread but they certainly don't make a decent sandwich...besides, it would be moraly wrong to do that to another Faith. No self-respecting Pagan would do such a thing, I will have you know. We're far more forgiving of others beliefs than the main-streamers are. Blessings.

The Israelites were born into their religion, but others could be proselytized in.  I think they had forgotten that they could be a good influence to other nations.  They were in a time of famine, and Naomi's family went to Moab to live.\n\nNaomi's sons and husband died, leaving her two daughters-in-law, Ruth and Orpah.  Naomi had nothing to offer them and tried to send them back to their families so that they could be cared for.  Orpah went, but Ruth, a Moabitess, took on the role of caring and providing for Naomi and vowed to follow her back to Naomi's native Israel.\n\nShe didn't expect to be taken care of.  She worked to provide for Naomi, who was (understandably) bitter from her losses.  \n\nThrough the providence of God, Ruth ends up working for Boaz, who is the sort of leader Jesus talks about in the NT, he clearly cares for his workers, and they respect and care about him.  He sees this foreign woman gleaning in his fields and instructs his workers to be respectful of her and to leave extra for her to gather.  He is impressed with her for working to support Naomi, whom he is distantly related to.\n\nIn the course of time, Naomi realized Boaz's interest in Ruth and sends her to him.  He vows to go to the nearest of kin - who has a right to redeem the family property and to marry Ruth and raise children in her husband's name - and see if he is willing to provide for her.  The next of kin is not, so Boaz takes on this responsibility and marries Ruth.\n\nIt's a glimpse into their life and culture and customs, but it also shows several important things about love, honor and grief.  Naomi is not so bitter in her loss that she stops looking out for Ruth's interests.  Ruth takes care of Naomi when she could have gone back to her family, remarried and had an easy life.  Boaz is kind to his workers and honorable in his dealings with his kinsman and Ruth.\n\nIt shows how God works in the lives of people in non-miraculous ways.  It also shows part of the lineage of Christ.  There is much that could be learned from the book, but the link to Christ is probably the most significant aspect of the book.

My friend, I agree with you, yet I also see a more pressing matter at hand. What about those persecutors and all the non-believers? If they die, they will not rejoice with all of us in heaven with the Lord God. I will pray for both the believers and the non-believers. There isn't much I can do from my present state but pray and preach the Word, since i'm not in a position to do anything but that. Email me if you have questions or are a fellow believer in Christ at questinchrist@yahoo.com. God bless

I would shine for Christ no matter what.  We were just talking about this in Church last night.  How sexual immorality is being more widely accepted and Christians are being more persecuted.  Like in schools, the government is teaching people that it is okay to be gay or that a boy may really be a girl.  But if you pray in school, you'll be suspended.  I really do not know why this suprises us as Christians, we were told that this would happen.  I have even heard about this night club in Mexcico (I think) that implants a chip in your hand and a mark on your arm that holds all your records.  They use it to tell your age and even holds your credit card info so you can use it to pay for stuff.  It is stated that this will happen in th book Revelation.  You see all the bad things that happen to our country just lately.  Since this country has turned away from God.  We have been attacked on our own soil, natural disasters are tearing away at our cities, and we are fighting amongst ourselves.  Back in 1776, when God was fully involved with the United States, before we turned away from him, He gave us everything we needed.  In Leviticus 26 it states what happens when people follow His commands, good crops, saftey from our enemies, etc.  We had all that.  God was with us when we fought for this land from England.  Now we are getting attacked on our own land.  I know the end is coming.  I don't know if it will be today or 2000 years from now.  But I intend for my heart to be prepared on the day of Rapture and my car will be unmanned.

soldier of GOD's account has now been suspended.\n\nI am sure any 'God(s)', if they exist,  would have better things to do, than make sure some people have lots of best answers. \n:).

Interesting.  The Lord has put many in my life. Right now, I have a group of late teens, early twenties... I am preparing them for college,  by training them in Christian apologetics. This will help them defend their faith against the worldliness of college. My ex-wife... without her I may not have gotten to know the Lord and not be doing what I am doing now.  I had a wonderful class a few years ago and was able to teach science from a Christian perspective. One of the students, Sarah died last week. I believe she is in Heaven. This is rough when you see this happen to a 16 year old. But I hope I was able to make some difference in her and her families life.

Mild answers are non-confrontational. Sorry, I'm not much of a bible guy, though turn the other cheek comes to mind.
