Do you go to church every Sunday? Or at least once a week?

smints8985 @smints8985 (1594) • United States 31 Jan 07

I'm just curious on how much people still see to it that they go to church and hear mass or hear the pastor preach every Sunday. Or any day of the day, depends on what day the service is held in your church. I am continously...

Courtney79 I go to Church on Sunday, Sunday night and Wednesday night. I find it needful to help me make it through the week. Without God and the Church I would never make it through some of the things that come up in my life.

finlander60 @finlander60 (1804) • United States 31 Jan 07

I am sure lots of people like to take a bath. There are probably lots of folks that would prefer a shower. Which type are you? Why do you prefer one over the other? Personally, I prefer a shower, my reason is that I don't see...

Courtney79 I have always preferred a bath because I love to soak in the warm water and relax. But now that you have mentioned the dirt (which I have never really thought about!) I might have to start taking showers. You really have a point there!

Do you have to be baptized to be saved?

jojopuff @jojopuff (520) • United States 15 Jan 07

According to Christianity, do you have to be baptized to go to Heaven? This is something that has always been unclear to me. I have never been baptized, but as an infant I was "dedicated." I really don't know the difference, is...

Courtney79 No, you do not have to be baptized to be saved. You believe and have faith, then you repent and ask forgiveness and ask Christ into your heart as your Saviour. But you cannot do this on your own. God has to touch your heart and show you that you are...

Courtney79 NO! God did not create homosexuals. Man chooses to be this way and to be disobedient to God. Romans 1:26-27 shows that it is forbidden as well as 1 Timothy 1:10. God created man for woman and woman for man and it SHOULD NOT be any other way.

Courtney79 I was saved by the grace of God as a very little girl. I was around 5 or 6 years old. It was at a Christmas play at my Church. They went through the scene of Jesus being crucified and hanging on the cross. It was very real to a little girl of my age. It...

Do you believe in the power of prayer?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 30 Jan 07

I can without a doubt answer yes. I've been privy to its powers and while sometimes I've doubted God listened, I later realized just because I ask doesn't mean he provides. God is not "Santa Claus"... someone to go to and...

Courtney79 I definetly believe in the power of prayer. I do know however that God answers our prayers in the way he feels that they should be answered, not the way we think that they should. And even if it's not the way we want it always works out for the better. And...
