One thing I did learn I agree with........IS NEVER MIX RELIGION & POLITICS

BUt I will say this.......may the best men and women have won. Bless their journey for all concerned. I think it concerns all of us. Little, big and those in between. Bless every soul, may be all be a family with the best solution in mind.

I agree that it's very ahrd to find a church
at this moment I don't go to church
and I really don't know when I will
I think that I'm studying the bible fine now
and I think that everyone should really take some time to study the bible on their own, even if they DO go to church.
I don't like people telling me what the bible means, as I really do think everyone needs to read the bible in a sort of selfish way, by that i mean that they should find out how each and every line affects their lives and how it should influence their lives.

oh and a note about Halloween
Halloween is derived from All Hallows Eve as I'm sure you all know, so All Saints Eve, november 1st is All Saints Day. I think a lot a lot of people forget this. I think it depends on HOW you celebrate this holiday. I mean trick or treating with the kids?! what's bad about that, what is dark and sadistic? but say performing a pagan ritual, obviously no. ha ha ha
The church made All Saints Day to sort of cancel out the popular pagan holiday, and they celebrated All Saints (hallow) Day Eve, and they made it a religious Holiday. You can research this.

I see Santa Claus as a great way to help kids understand Jesus, he gives presents to ALL the girls and boys because he loves them so much. At a young age I think it's very hard for children to understand love, and who Jesus was and what his birth has done for us.

I do know that when I have kids I will have found a church, as I think they should learn about the bible with other kids, and then my soul reason for going to that church will be based on how they teach them, and making sure they make it fun.

Have any of you Christians attended the Walk to Emmaus or Cursillo?? It was such a fantastic experience and it really teaches you how much God truly loves us, not matter what.

YorkieRose · 11-08-2006, 02:47 PM

Kelly....I think I can answer this from life's experince..being 61 and a Christian for over 50 yrs...God always answers prayer..but the problem is, we can not tell Him how to answer the prayer. He is the Father and like a father, sometimes HE says yes, no, wait, later, soon, not today, in MY time I will answer your prayer with YOUR best interest at heart..just the way good "earthly" parents have our best interest at heart and tell us ..No, you can not eat cake for breakfast, yes, you can get a new dress, but must wait for your birthday, you will have to wait until the time is right..and as a parent they decide when it is right...

Please believe me, God ALWAYS has our best interest at heart..and that is where faith is so important..because there are times I am so sure my way is best..and then thank God over and over for not doing it my way..what a mess I would have been in if He had..LOL

No I have never heard of Hallows Eve? Ever as I remember. I can research it but could you tell me what you were taught or know as you know it?

Thank you very much for the information On Halloween. I never knew there was an All Saints and Souls day, I didnt find anything when I looked up Halloween but I did find articles about Saints day and its long history. I never even knew the correlation or the existence of Saint day. Now I know why I always felt it wasnt evil to me. I always celebrated it as a good day even in my ignorance. What a long interesting history.
I attached one article I found I could understand!.......lol......some were to indepth and I got lost.

I grew up Baptist but I saw alot of dividing in the church, people arguing or being gossipy, there were things I never agreed with even as a child, I felt like certain passages were taken and used for beleifs but others were denied. Alot of picking and chosing. Only certain sections of the BIble were used to live by. Finger pointing at other religions about how wrong they beleived. Im not saying all Baptist churches are like this, by any means but I attended 4 and it seemed the same in all. I just felt something was missing. It never felt right for me although I do beleive Jesus dying for our sins. My mother and father are very baptist. Please dont think IM bashing, it just never has fit for me.
Im looking for a church that beleives its okay to take your kids halloweening and it isnt evil.......for me its just a fun day for children to trick or treat and have a good time dressing in fun costumes such as fairies or superman, and its a time to spend together.
Same with Christmas, about Santa Claus, its a fun magical story that makes being a child fun. ANd its ok to participate and its not a sin in the churches beleives. But also the child knowing really why the day is celebrated, that is Jesuses birthday. Because I do beleive that.
Id like to attend a church where what you wear doesnt matter, its that you are there that counts.
I really dont agree with gay relationships, but then again I dont want to judge people. Im certainly not perfect. I have had gay friends and although I didnt beleive in it, I liked the person for many other reasons.
I would really like to find a church where my kids learn about God, Jesus, being good to others and helping. Giving them a good background and having like people to fill close too and congregate with. A place for support and meeting, and extended family.
ANyone have any idea of a church, religion to start? SOmewhere that they teach from the whole bible, a teaching, not just living by certain picked passages? I dont know where to start?

I go to a Bible Alliance church. It is very close to baptist. I think the difference might be that my church is very big into missions... ?

I took my kids out trick or treating... They believed in Santa, and as far as sexual preference is concerned... We are not to judge each other.
In my church it is all personal preference and your relationship with the Lord. Some people may not agree but the church doesn't rule over you on these things... I don't know if you will ever find a church where every one agrees on every thing but I don't think it is the churches place to dictate what holidays you enjoy. I haven't had any one say anything and my kids are grown now!!!

I found this information by researching myself
before I was even a Christian...
(I am constantly researching things like relgion and science and such)
yes all souls day is November 2nd I believe,
to honour the dead!
I kind of thought these were known but I guess not.

I also have an article on a list of 6 things that prove there is a God
it is SCIENTIFIC which is what drew me to it, and I definitly believe God brought that article to me because I prayed and prayed for him to help me, because I was having trouble being MYSELF (factual) and believing.

http://www.everystudent.com/features/isthere.html

I really encourage you to read this
I enjoy discussing things (my boyfriend says I like to argue, but I point out that there's a difference)
so I researched religion because I knew my family would fight me on this
and ask me why I wanted to believe

(of course my reply is "i don't WANT to believe, I DO believe" my entire family is agnostic or athiest, except for my aunt and her husband)

Miss_Sara · 11-08-2006, 11:58 PM

eek!
apparently that article is wron gabout one thing
my boyfriend just told me that Mars actually had an atmosphere AND water...

This makes me laugh. I have found the perfect match for Kissie, my female yorkie. And the male belongs also to a jewish family. I was thinking if I need a Rabbi for their wedding... I'm joking...
