If you do not mind could you say a brief summary that defines your faith? How about I give you links to my religion's website, and let you explore? This page explains our Seven Principles and the spiritual sources for our faith: What Unitarian Universalists Believe And here's a link that will give you some idea of our view regarding sacred texts: Sacred Texts in Unitarian Universalism Here, I'll also throw in an overview of our religious history: Our Historic Faith |

what kind of Govt./faith/religion do you think is prophesied when Yahshua comes back and sets up rule for 1000 years? that is if you believe in the 1000 year rule when Yahshua comes back. No, we don't believe in that. |

I think it would be interesting to live in Scotland, say maybe Edinburgh. Or in Toronto, Ontario, as it's one of my favorite cities. Not so much in midwinter, though, LOL.
Then there's the south of France, and a whole bunch of other places I think I'd like. |

If a person had to save up enough money to be able to support two adults for a year with neither of them working, marriage would be reserved only for the very wealthy because nobody else would be able to afford it. So that's pretty unrealistic right there. Also, women these days aren't regarded as the property of their fathers, so that business about a man going to the father of the woman he wants to marry... uh, no. We women are perfectly capable of handling our own decisions about marriage, thank you. These customs are old and outmoded for some very good reasons. Can you prove your position from the Bible? No, and fortunately there's no need for me to do so. You prove to non believers your faith does not really mean that much. scripture says to study to show YOURSELF approved. why? That you may give EVEYONE an answer of the Glory of your faith Miles, two problems: I think you're a bit confused about my faith. We don't use "scripture" the same way you do, and we regard the bible very differently from the way you seem to. Secondly, I know of NO ONE, not even in the most stringently devout fundamentalist Christian household, who believes a married couple needs to be able to afford a year without work in order to get married. If you had to afford that, could YOU ever get married? My answers and opinions are based on what's realistic in the world we live in. My faith's "glory" is in the fact that it is realistically applicable in today's modern world. |

Disappointed Sorry to hear that. Something to make you feel better? I'm feeling stuck... as in, I kind of wish this chapter would just take over and write itself already. |
