I have no idea why they receive so much support while other pressing issues are shoved to the side.
What really complicates it is that Christians, Jew, and Muslims all claim a legitimate right to the land. I don't see why it shouldn't be Christian …

Isn't it dangerous for normal people (people that are not huge cantors and alhan experts) to be recording themselves as a source?

Interestingly enough, Oxford just came out with a study (I couldn't find many details on how it was conducted though) that shows that belief in the afterlife is not necessarily learned, but instinctive. That is, nature, not nurture.
NOW FROM AN EVO…
I definitely agree with you on the necessity of having knowledge on this. I've been pestering my church to teach us about it in our youth meetings and such for years now, but it's like I'm not even there sometimes. So I'm glad you're doing this, and…
Personally I've come to the conclusion that some (or, most) atheists just simply will not budge on the issue. No matter what you say to them, their evidence will always just trump ours, in their eyes.
MY biggest reason for believing in Him is becau…

With the edit of this title and the original post I sound like a jerk. You can't make one post, have people respond and then change it completely. . .

Yeah, this…
Thank you Geomike, your post was really comforting and helpful.
Yeah, that's a great point, Unworthy. That's something that often goes sort of forgotten.

It's ok if you don't know how to fully express what's in your heart while you're praying. When that's the case, pray anyway. Make sure that communication between y…

Ioannes, this thread is calling you.
Anyway, while the people who are doing this to you are commanded not to treat you the way they are, this fact isn't flashing across their mind as they are doing it. It's like any other sin- often, you just do it…
I once felt God directly answer me during a prayer. It was basically after a miserable day, and His answer was telling me why it had turned to be a miserable day. And I knew it was from Him because...I just felt it. This makes it sound like it was o…

If it's alright, I have a question on a somewhat related note and from skimming through the 13 pages of this thread it doesn't seem like it's been addressed.
In 1 Corinthians 14: 34-35 St. Paul writes, "Let your women keep silent in the churches, f…

I don't even think I can accept this as the general opinion among the Muslims, but the problem is they usually don't know better but to buy into stories like that.
Don't apologize for the lengthy reply; every little part of that was helpful.
"Missing the mark"- that's exactly how Abouna Anastasi from the California monastery defined it. But I never really got it until now. It makes sense. That was a great exp…
Thank you both for posting, you both offered very good advice.
Yes, the devil seems to be running rampant now. I will definitely keep you in my prayers.
