Statistically speaking here, what reason would there be for the Christian to "label" and use a "stat?" Wouldn’t that be contradictory to their beliefs about Science?
The same reason any superstitious person would, say, use a computer, or live in a house, or wear clothes.
People are willing to accept that the world works through natural laws, and reap the benefit of the study of those laws, until such a time as that method imposes on their preconceived notions.
Addendum: And even *then*, people are still more than happy to reap scientific benefits, even if they deny the validity of the method by which those benefits were produced.
I mean, you think Creationists don’t get flu shots?

Are they both harassing or do you think the other is trying to help the other? Should the atheist leave the Christian alone and why? Should the Christian leave the atheist alone and why? Why would each consider it harassment?
Yes yes and yes.
People should rightfully respect each other – in a perfect world, but alas we don’t live in a perfect world.
Too many nasty people in the world unfortunately.

Dear Christian Monotheists could you please tell me what are the purposes of overseas mission, Culture exchange or to obtained knowledge from overseas churches (some information Please)? Who is/are funding the costs of overseas mission? Thanks.
a lot of the missions i am aware of go to countries to help educate children, build schools, provide medical care, show them how to sterilize water for drinking, show them how to grow crops in drought conditions, and yes, teach them about Christianity.
they are funded by churches and other organizations which rely on private contributions.

I’ve heard Christian, married, women on occasion say that their husbands provide a spiritual covering for them. I’ve always wondered what exactly that means. Any thoughts or insights?
I have heard this as well and not sure what they mean, none have explained to my satisfaction…my husband is a good man but not a Godly man…
1 Corinthians 11: 3-5
[3] But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
[4] Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
{"who is the mans head? verse 3 said its Christ…the man must not cover his head(Christ) while praying or prophesying or he will dishonor Christ"…}
[5] But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
{"who is the woman’s head? verse 3 said its the man…the woman must cover her head(man)while praying or prophesying or she will dishonor man…}
{a man praying or prophesying covering Christ is trying to get to the Father without the Son…a woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered is putting her husband(head) before or trying to go through her head/husband to get to Christ…}
1 Corinthians 7:12-15
[12] But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
[13] And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
[14] For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
[15] But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
{ I think sanctified and covered are the same or close to the same…we can not give our husband or wife salvation…we can be a tool, for Christ to use in their life to draw them close or to show them the way, thus helping Christ bring them into the flock…women are the weaker of the sexes that is shown throughout the scripture and in our lives as well…men are stronger and more able to make decision not based on emotion, we women tined to be lead by emotion…there are times we need our husbands strength and there are times our husband needs our softness, see we balance each other, just as God intended…}
always nosnod
if you see it in a different light please let me know, I am always open to learning what my Lord has in store for me…

you don’t HAVE to pray, go to church, ask to be forgiven every two seconds, read the bible or meet with other christians etc.
so what do you have to do that is compulsory to be live as a christian?
can you just become a christian and not do all those other things if you wanted?
nothing.

I plan to be a writer for my career, and I am in the process of writing a book that I would like to have published eventually, so I was wondering, does anyone know of any good Christian book publishing companies? The best I know of would be Thomas Nelson and any associated publishers. Does anyone know of any better ones or have any suggestions? Thanks.
Note: I don’t want any type of self-publisher. I want publishers that are good at marketing books and will make good book covers to attract consumers.

What is Christian Missions?
How does God intend Christian Missions to fulfill the Great Commission?
Christian missions is following Christ’s call: sharing the Gospel with the lost world through God’s wisdom and strength.
Christian missions is obeying Christ
After Christ’s death and resurrection, He commanded the disciples to share the Gospel, the message of His redemption. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:19-20).
This Great Commission applies to Christians today. Rather than a burden, obeying His call brings joy and reward in heaven. We should fulfill our mission not out of duty but love: “For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died; and He died for all, that they who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf. . . . Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:14-21).
God could convert everyone using a blinding light and the voice of Christ as He did with the apostle Paul. Instead, He gives Christians the mission of reconciliation (Acts 1:8-9). He works through us, calling sinners to turn to Christ in repentance and faith.
Christian missions is sharing Christ
Our mission is proclaiming Christ as the only way to abundant, eternal life. Whom do we tell? Jesus made it clear that Christians are to reach out to “all the nations” (Matthew 28:19). Instead of countries, he was referring to people groups, those ethnic cultures without a Gospel witness.
Christian missions, however, is not limited to overseas ministry. While believers should faithfully support those who go to the unreached, all Christians have the mission to share Christ on the home field with family, friends, coworkers, and the community.
The Christian mission of sharing Christ does not end with a sinner’s salvation. The commission was to make disciples – not immature believers. Thus, Christian missions involves not only evangelism but also discipleship.
Christian missions is relying on Christ
Sharing the Gospel humbly, boldly, and passionately is our Christian mission. But we cannot do it alone. While our mission is sharing Christ, the power and results come from the Lord. He gives us the wisdom, strength, and desire to witness! Through our witness, He works repentance and faith in the sinner’s heart (2 Corinthians 5:20-21).
Although it is God’s work, Christians are responsible to understand the Gospel and have a strong relationship with Christ. Such a relationship guards them from hypocrisy. “But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence; and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. (1 Peter 3:15-16). Jesus assured that suffering would accompany missions, but God uses it for good.
In sum, Christian missions is obeying Christ, sharing Christ, and relying on Christ. Specifically, God sends missionaries through the support of the church to the unreached. All Christians, however, have the mission of reconciliation. The Lord works through them to rescue the lost. What greater mission can one answer?
