I really would like to beieve in god, i just cant seem to get it...I dont care about religion per say just God
You can believe in and have a relationship with God, without being religious. Faith encourages you to ask questions and to live outside the boundaries of religion. So take action, connect with God yourself and understand that your consciousness creates your reality.
My brain works faster than my mouth?
It's so annoying because my brain will be going really, really fast when I'm trying to talk - I'll even have the word or sentence in mind but my mouth can't seem to keep up. Get my words mixed up or I'll start stuttering like crazy or what comes out of my mouth will sound stupid - get my vocabulary jumbled and yet I read tons of books, write stories and English was my best subject in school. When I'm writing like this as I am now - on computer, or on a piece of paper or on the phone - it is so much easier for me to convey what I want to say than it is for me to verbally say it. I can take all the time I need and my fingers are a lot faster than my lips. I can put my thoughts in words like this without a hiccup but not so well when I actually have to speak. I've always figured it had to do with my anxiety but I've been worried that it's something more and I can't afford a visit to the doctor or a psychiatrist. I don't think I've got dyslexia - I've got moments of misspelling things or reading a word wrong but nothing too bad. I'm a speed reader but if I have to read aloud it's just horrible - words are jumbled, I read too fast, I stutter and it's just crappy. It goes to hell in a hand-basket when I'm nervous or anxious or excited. When I have to call someone on the phone my stomach knots with anxiety and I'll rehearse the conversation in my mind beforehand to make sure I don't stumble but I still have problems. What is this? Does anyone know?
Is eating pork, lobster and shrimp a sin equal to homosexuality?
"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination." (Leviticus 18:22) "But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you." (Leviticus 11:10) "They (shellfish) shall be an abomination to you; you shall not eat their flesh, but you shall regard their carcasses as an abomination." (Leviticus 11:11) "Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales; that shall be an abomination to you." (Leviticus 11:12) ______________ Now, Christians will point out "Oh these are old testament laws" they don't apply today. However alot of Christians are quick to choose the above leviticus verse to condemn homosexuals. These verses referring to shrimp and lobster, they don't seem like a law. They seem to me to be like an opinion, it didn't say "dont eat it" it said 'ITS AN ABOMINATION"
What are some characteristics of meth addicts?
Rather than the obvious signs of the homeless rock-bottom addict, perhaps it may be more useful to see some of the earlier subtle signs:-Weight loss despite junk food diet. They may appear pleasantly trim.-Bad skin-Very talkative, full of ideas. Can be intellectually interesting and engaging but at some point it feels they are talking at you more than with you.-No meaningful follow through on said big ideas.-Prone to irrational shifts into angry outbursts. These can be very quick and weird in normal conversation. -vanishing, unreliable to time commitments... Like not answering the phone all weekend, with vague explanations. In reality they were asleep for 3 days.-strange tooth decay, like along the sides of the front teeth. Teeth ground down.-hypersexual at times in risky ways-extremely clean house. Spotless bathrooms and kitchens. And yet there may be a nasty pile of junk hidden somewhere with piles of unfinished projects and found objects -spastic bird-like motions. If they are into dancing this might seem normal -rapid shifts in mood. They may go from sluggish and grumpy to quick and talkative after a short bathroom break.-weird hours in general. Like texting you at 5am with some sort of question -paranoid delusions. This doesn't have to be conspiracy theories and mind control, it could be extreme jealousy and accusations directed at you. Then it may get weirder with obsessions that various people or entities are watching them.-fascination with parts of objects.Contrary to expectations, there are severe meth addicts out there who hold down jobs and the appearance of normal life. In fact meth is a drug that can actually increase brain speed and productivity. Meth users are not stupid while high, but they end up irrational. They are dimwitted only when coming down. This makes the addiction very insidious as the addiction outsmarts the addict and the people around them in subtly sophisticated ways.
How can i get my love for God/Jesus back? ?
I have been extremely afraid for the last three years because I feel like I've lost my faith I God and anything faith based. I grew up in a Christian home and I've been saved since age 14. But for the last 3 years my faith has faded and I don't feel like I have love for them anymore. It scares me because I know the truth yet I can't help how I feel. I keep feeling like I'm going to go to hell when I die. I do believe what Jesus did on the cross and is the son of God but I no longer pray nor have any desire to. Please help me I don't want to feel like this and I don't want to go to hell. No atheist apply.
Should Christians call sodomy "love" if Jesus calls it "sexual immorality" and says it makes a man unclean?
Intentional use of the logical "fallacy of equivocation". The unrepentantly sexually immoral often use the word "love" to refer to sex in order to make an immoral sex act seem to be morally justifiable. It is an intentional equivocation. I've seen (here on Y!A) homosexuals equate homosexual sex with "love" *many* times. I've heard heterosexuals equate fornication and adultery - the sex acts - with "love" **very many** times. Simply: if you call an immoral sex act "love" it sounds a lot less immoral, and the people using the word "love" in this manner are well aware of that fact. - Jim, http://www.bible-reviews.com/
