I can't believe Bible quotes are actually considered valid arguments! 

Usually I don't particularly like living in Sweden, but reading some of the things some of you write... 

I mean, sure, there are a few fanatic priests here to, who refuses to marry same sex couples, but at least they're not majority. 

Honestly, don't you people have "freedom of religion" or whatever it might be called?? Then don't you understand that just one of those religions can't decide the laws for all the others? 

Laws should be based on the people who have to obey them, not some ancient book. 

Does anyone, or has anyone felt the same?  When he met me, I was fit and active, I was at my goal weight and very attractive even by MY standards, which says a lot.  But now I feel awful.  I can't even get socks on anymore, but he's still trying to convince me that I am sexy.  

Please share your feelings about this.  

Thanks  

I find the best form of meditation for me is not Yoga, but instead it is music, my first love! 

I guess I'll not try to do things that don't work for me just because they work for others.  Yoga is just not my style, but I meditate through music, : ) 

Not sure that I understand that (Christian tarot Reader). 

As far as the magi and shepherd interpretation I have to say that it is very interesting, and I will study that out, thankyou for that. 

There is one issue that I may disagree with. I am all for 'Love thy neighbors.." but, and I may be mis-interpreting, it seems that you are saying pagans are ok, christians are ok, whoever is ok with their beliefs. This is what we call 'Eastern thinking' where no one is wrong and everyone is right. The opposite end of course is what we call "Western thinking' where there is either right or wrong. If there are two different religious beliefs only one can be right. The Bible quotes Jesus as saying "I am the way the truth and the life. No man cometh unto the father but by me." To classify this, Jesus obviously believes in Western Thinking. 

So there are 2 possibilities: 

1) Jesus is right. He is the way and there is no other way (that would make all other religions and spiritual beliefs, including pagans and wiccans, wrong. 

2) Jesus is wrong. He is not the way and there is some other way. 

You see if you say that everyone is right then that makes Jesus right. If he is right then everyone else is wrong so, inevitably, Eastern Thinking is impossible. 

You can think what you want of Jesus and the Bible but there are only three possibilities. 

1) Lord: He is God. Obey the Bible 

2) Liar: If this is true then he was obviously not God, and not a prophet or a good man and his teachings should be disregarded and not equalled to muhammed or whomever. 

3) Lunatic: A crazy man, not a prophet. 

Only 3 choices, you pick! 

I think maybe there was a misunderstanding about the 3 choices comment I made. 

What I was saying is that there are 3 choices in respect to your view of Jesus Christ, not about religion. 

Hope that helps, and if you do discover more than three ways please let me know, I am very interested since I have only come up with three. 

I attended a Bible College (similar to a theological seminary but for both sexes) in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. 

It's called Northeast Christian College. It is a campus and is run by  the United Pentecostal Church International, Atlantic District, not a local church.
