Lavendyr 1. Crunches are OK, but it won't help you lose weight to work stomach muscles, it will only tone up those muscles. You can target muscle groups to tone and strengthen, but you cannot target specific areas to lose weight. The distribution of fat on our bodies,...

Christian: An Essential Definition.

tombiz @tombiz (2036) • Philippines 10 Jul 07

The word Christian means a person who is loyal and follows a great leader who is named Christ, hence the term. Meaning if you never followed the teachings and doctrines of Jesus Christ, you are never a Christian. This is in the...

Lavendyr I disagree very slightly with your definition of "Christian" because I don't feel it quite covers everything. The people who followed Jesus at the time he was alive were, typically, anything but loyal. Peter, one of Jesus's disciples, denied three times...

Why christians eat Pork, if the Bible prohibits the consumption of pork.

irkhan @irkhan (80) • India 15 Mar 07

See the verses of Bible below. The Christian is likely to be convinced by his religious scriptures. The Bible prohibits the consumption of pork, in the book of Leviticus “And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven...

How about you prove to us that God really doesn't exist?

driedmango @driedmango (356) • Philippines 5 Mar 07

I've been thinking about this for quite some time. How about those who don't believe in God prove that God really don't exist? What convinced you that God do not exist? How about the truths about palm prints, etc, how were you...

god do not exist

9 responses

Lavendyr It's not possible to prove whether God does or does not exist. Whether it ever will be possible to prove is up for question, but right now I don't think you'll find any clear proof one way or the other. I do very much think that people who say they believe...

Christianity

shilpa28k @shilpa28k (1737) • India 2 Feb 07

Is Christianity the only religion with a belief that people need to be saved?

christianity

3 responses

Lavendyr No, I don't believe it is. Judaism, for one example, teaches that people need to be saved. However, Christianity, as far as I know, is the only religion to teach that *we cannot save ourselves* and that only God can save humans. Other religions teach that...

What evidence do you have for existence of a supernatural god?

marzenna @marzenna (253) 26 Feb 07

This debate is not ment to insolt anybody. I am just curious why people choose to believe in something without searching to find out if this is the true.

3 responses

Lavendyr Your use of the word "evidence" suggests that you require proof in order to believe in something. This isn't true. In fact, to have concrete evidence that God exists would countermand faith, because if you have to have proof in order to believe in something,...

Why people who believe in God avoid discussion?

marzenna @marzenna (253) 24 Feb 07

We have some very interesting debates here. However I noticed that some of us drop their opinion and never respond if somebody try to discuss. It is not a debate if you say what you think and go. It is a monolog. I do believe in...

Lavendyr I think there are a lot of reasons why some people "drop" their opinion and never respond, but I don't think that it is simply to do with people who believe in God avoiding discussion. Many of us have very busy lives and cannot always be sitting at the...

What Bible do you use?

alantae @alantae (243) • United States 14 Feb 07

Lavendyr I have the NIrV Study Bible - the New International Reader's Version. It's basically even clearer English than the NIV. Sometimes it's a bit too simple, but I like it, and the notes at the sides and before each chapter are very helpful and informative.

Lavendyr There is always a risk. But these days there is a risk wherever you shop. A family member of mine recently had her credit card cloned while paying for petrol at a local petrol station. I think it's just as common to be defrauded while shopping "in real life",...

Ginger Soap- yea or nay?

LadyMagpie @LadyMagpie (236) • United States 23 Feb 07

So I know the popular opinion is that Ginger smells like old lady perfume. But after LAL's glowing gush about it, I had to get ahold of some before it was all gone, so I bought a bar with my most recent order. ...this does not...

Lavendyr I absolutely love Ginger. I don't think it smells "old lady" at all. I actually think it even has some very masculine hints to it (my OH likes it too!). It's a very complex and lovely smell. I have one bar left which I was given as a gift a few months ago and...

Would You Rather Work For What You Have Or Have It Handed To You?

biwasaki @biwasaki (1745) • United States 21 Feb 07
