The practicality of what Jesus supposedly said, has no bearing on Jesus Christ being a real historical figure.

Whether Jesus was a historical figure or not matters not
by venus inwhen i suffered some loss what jesus said came to my mind: โif anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also.โ (mathew 5:40) principle behind this statement made flash to me: โhere shirt is only a symbol of material things/comfort.
if you suffer a loss, have the mind-set that i have no problem even if i suffer some greater loss,โ and my worry immediately disappeared.
whether jesus was a historical figure or not matters not if what he (supposedly) said happens to be of great practical help..

Where do I go now?
by Libby inso i thought my purpose was to serve jehovah and get baptised.
where do i go now to get baptised?
is baptism even a requirement for serving god or was that just for the disciples and people of that time.

I don't pray, neither do my friends, mostly.
Praying is so old school, nowadays most people have iPods, play video games or enjoy other forms of technology and forget all the Jesus stuff.
I'd suggest you keep researching. Good luck.

How can angels be sexually attracted to women?
by Island Man inthe nephilim account in genesis is utterly ridiculous when you consider that angels are sex-less beings and would therefore lack sex-drive and romantic attraction.
think of how difficult it is for humans with a sex drive to be sexually attracted to animals.
now take away that sex drive and it becomes literally impossible.

It's as if that bible account were completely made up, by a group of ignorant and morally repugnant men. -

Breaking News, London: Van Ploughs into Pedestrians
by Simon in3 male passengers then get out and start stabbing / shooting people according to early reports.. but it could have been anyone for any reason, who knows, possibly jehovahs witnesses or amish.. maybe we'll never know the reason but i'm sure there will be people praying for those involved and hashtags.. thus solving the problem once and for all.. just "life in a big city" according to the muslim mayor of london, sadiq khan..

We just need to embrace diversity and become a more tolerant society..... but first, rid the world of Islam.

Only mentioned Jesus once so far. During talk about protecting kids. Used it as an example how Jah protected his kid Jesus.
How can a father who nominates his son for a brutal execution, set an expample of protecting kids?...
Religion, I guess.

How do I get you to Visit my house
by I have question inokay simply put i am not of your faith however my faith allows me to learn and study other people's beliefs and faith's.
now i believe at least from what i have seen that you people are humble and respectful, when interacting with me.
and that watchtower book thing u hand out has actually helped me in the past.... taught me that resentment only hurts me and not the person i resented, that was really needed at the time.

Talk to my Dad about beards.
by LovingLifeNow inso i spoke to my elder dad the other day, and he asked if i still am sporting a beard.
i said yes, then i said, "i thought the society said its ok to have a neat trimmed beard now?
" he said "no, no, no..if you read the article , it says in countries where it is accepted" so my response was "ummm, its pretty accepted here in america"..which he says "it reflects your spirituality" "if another wittness saw you, they would know you are weak"...i was like, "ok, i don't get it, and i follow christ/god, not men..." then he said in his hall" if a brother came in with a beard , he would not have privelages" then i just gave up, and tried to change the subject..ugggggggggg if these people would just listen to themselves , they would see the sillyness of there teachings...

CNN sucks. I like Fox News best, I also find SpongeBob SquarePants reliable and informing. -
