The Christians in Pakistan are about 2% of its population. The Christian youth needs help to learn job skills and educate themselves -- they need lot of information on the kind of education they should go for in order to excel in it. They need business education so that they could initiate their own businesses and find success in it. They need to learn internet and English to enhance their knowledge. There is a need to help male students to find better education and better job so that they could marry with the well literate Christian females, at present there is an unbalance among the sexes at that level which has created social problems . At present there is a need to motivate young people to take up their responsibilities and work hard at it. We would like to work for female youth empowerment and development as well. If the youth is not helped in their soical problems they will become further poor and also will be very depressed and will lose interest in the Church work %26amp; society.|||Take the help of Gen Musharraf but don't agree if he offers to open Madrassas for Christians in Pakistan or he'll turn them into Jehadis!|||Hello dear!
Very nice of you to wish to help the needy!
But, why only of one religion and not all children of "god"?
You can try your Christian Church!|||Go to Christian web sites and sign their guestbook with a link back to your site. You can also have banners on your site for people to put onto their's with links back to you. And you can try emailing, churches, ministries, and religious schools.|||What a question you ask! Let me say that if you promote the right kind of assitance, you will find that you are actually just relocating yourself to that area. You will never just send a box with 10 million dollars to them and expect anything to get done of course... But allow me to aid you here in your methodology.
You're dealing with Pakistan, soo... you must take a drastic advantage of this climate's business opportunities. You lack the ability to re-order complex markets and market advertising, so that is obviously out of the question in way of making large deals with big powers.
You must take your message to Pakistan at a very very weird level. You must start a business there as an extension of American capitalistic ideals and practices. This your Christian leaders really suck at so its perfectly okay to ask for help from someone that has some sympathies but maybe isnt inclined to help. There really are small and even a few large businesses that are outcropping their expansions into different insights of Pakistany culture. You must use what you know of their life to assist in the change where it works for you as a Christian follower. The irony here is that you must not make a church or anything, but it will act like a church to the extent that people will work for you like a business. Fund raising comes hand in hand with skills not learned in any type of education system we are privvy to. You must think inside the box, but bring an idea that is out of this world, and literally out of their world, and even out of the context of your bible. There is no definitive answer here, so allocate knowledge at every level, but doubt not the power of knowing what youre talking about here, about actually taking a vacation or something to Pakistan and organizing business meetings at levels that are not normally taken for granted. That is your gift of course, your complaceny to your innocent intentions. You shall find a way, faith as a grain of mustard seed my friend.

How to wish someone a happy christian russian orthodox christmas?
How to wish someone a happy christian russian orthodox christmas?
I just found out my recent good friend doesnt celebrate christmas, he specifically said ' my christmas is janurary 7th' So how does he celebrate and do i wish him a merry christmas that day or how do I do so? I havent had a chance to ask him. Thanks!|||He celebrates xmas on January 7th - its still xmas, but usually with st. nick instead of santa.
You would say, 'Merry xmas."
You wouldn't say, "Happy christian born again non-denominational protestant xmas" would you????
or, "Happy christian southern baptist protestant xmas" or "Happy christian roman catholic xmas"
Why does it matter exactly how he celebrates it - everyone celebrates xmas their own way, it's impossible to know exactly how. He probably goes to church and then comes home to a meal with family and friends.|||Wait until January 7 and say "merry christmas". It's the same holiday only on a different date. It has to do with the changing of the calendar.|||Same way basically.|||As someone already said, it is just because of using the old-church calendar as opposed to the revised julian (western) calendar. So - say Merry Christmas! and if you want - you could say "Christ is Born", after which he would say "Glorify Him!"|||When you talk to him on January 7, say "Christ is Born!" He will probably appreciate it more, though, if you say "Christos razdajetsja!" :)

How many christians believe that christmas is not a true christian practice?
I'm just curious. Taking a survey. When I say not a true christian practice I mean that it didn't originate from christianity.|||I'm a Christian, and am fully aware that Christmas has pre-Christian (i.e., Pagan) origins. I don't have a problem with that. I've known this since childhood, and first learned about it in the Christian schools I grew up attending. It's not as if it's a secret.|||The way we celebrate Christmas is not Christian at all.|||ACtually 99.9% of all relgious practices in all faiths are not really part of that faith it is just a way and excuse for people to get together|||Well Christmas obviously originated from Christianity but the timing of the holiday and many of the customs originated before Christianity even existed..|||not in western culture. . . . it was never about staying home opening presents|||I am a Christian and I definely do not think it originated from Christianity.|||I don't, the fact it's called christ-mas speaks for itself really :P|||I celebrate Christmas everyday. The public christmas thing has nothing to do with Christ.|||it didn't. it originated from the pagan ways. some pagans decided to join the christian church and brought along Christmas with them. and btw Jesus was not born on Dec 25, he was born on Sept 11 believe it or not.|||Which Christmas are you talking about?
The one abouty Jesus' birth
Or the one about getting everything you want?|||I do not know about others but I celebrate Jesus' birth at Christmas
Some so called Christians have another Jesus and another gospel|||It is not. Christmas has nothing to do with Christianity. It is simply a product of Hallmark. Christmas was even banned in some of the States in U.S. until the 1930's. Christmas was just a Pagan pratice to celebrate winter.|||I've heard some preachers on TV say that the Bible doesn't instruct believers to celebrate the birth so they say it shouldn't be celebrated regardless of the day. These preachers say Good Friday is the only holiday instructed in the Bible.|||I believe that. I did some research before this season got here. Carolling and a lot of other so-called Christians practices actually come from a pagan celebration of the sun god. His birthday was on Christmas day, not Jesus'. The trees come from worshipping the tree god, but believers put them up because of the light symbolizing the Light of Christ. There's a ton of information on the origin of Christmas on wikipedia. That's where I started.
We exchange gifts only because our family will come unglued if we don't. We do a tree because of the lights and the angel. Santa doesn't bring gifts for our daughter. We don't gorge ourselves on feast and we don't drink. We don't fight in the aisles over the "perfect" toy or gift.|||I know many true Christians who practice Christmas. You can't take the Christ out of Christmans, even if you write Xmas. Because 'X' is the first Greek letter for the word Christ %26amp; so 'X' is symbolic of 'Christ'.
Really, there are many packages we just haven't opened yet. Because we don't trust the gift giver enough. How can we trust the gift is from our Lord? Shall we just look at the gift %26amp; not open it up. Wait a while %26amp; see if it blows up or something?
Personally, I more than practice opening Christmas gifts. Because the gift has the name on it who it is from. And so if you know the gift giver, then you know you can receive the gift.
Every good %26amp; perfect gift comes down from the Father of Lights!
Christmas timing originated in the future. The time the Star of Bethlehem stopped (not called Christmas Eve yet being BC) was the night before Christmas. And the Magi found Jesus as a toddler in a house. And they brought the young King of Israel gifts.
But the conception (life starts at conception) is believed to have happened in September ?11th (constellation Rev.12) %26amp; the birth in June (bright %26amp; glorious day). I believe the star appeared to move the whole time until it stopped above the house Jesus was in. And Jesus was old enough to receive the gifts %26amp; realize how nice they were.
Also, God wrote Christmas in the stars. And the future came first before the past. God gives us memories of the future. And so, the devil has copy cats of Gods Holy Days. But Gods Christmas came first. And I don't think it is any coincidence that when the star stopped it was the Night before Christmas.|||It just so happens to be Jesus' b-day. But the Christmas was not named for Christ but rather Christianity. There was a lot of Irish and Pagan influences when the English Christians took over for a while. Mostly a winter celebration that took place in December. There is controversy and history rewritten so we may never know where all the hub bub came from. I celebrate the birth of Christ on Christmas and as the wise men came bearing gifts, so do I. Soooo Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays for all the others.|||Christmas was never a true Christian practice. Still isn't. Virtually all of its traditions are of pagan origins, including the time of year it is observed. The Bible has little to say about the exact time of Christ's birth other than indicate it was probably during the fall - and quite possibly (likely) on one of the annual Holy Days of the Fall Festivals. There is also no scriptural instruction or examples (outside of the original event) to observe it, unlike His instruction to His followers to observe the memorial of His death with the NT Passover/Lord's Supper.
Christians tend to overlook the fact that God had instructed his people in the past not to worship Him using the methods of the pagans (Deut 12:30-31). In the NT, an important principle is stated in 2 Co 6:14) "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?"
I would suggest that marrying false pagan traditions and methods with the worship of Christ is simply not worshiping God in truth, despite our good and sincere intentions. We are forcing together two opposite ways that God did not desire to have mixed when it comes to worship of Him.
Originally, the real "reason for the season" had nothing to do with Christ. As it turns out, the way it's observed today is probably not that far from its original purpose. |||No, Christmas is not a true Christian practice. It predates Jesus Christ's birth by many, many years.|||NO. Christmas is not a true Christian practice. It was syncretised into Catholicism from the Satunalia, Brumalia pagan practices of the Romans.
Holidays or Holy Days 鈥?Does it really matter which days we keep?
United Church of God
http://www.ucg.org.au/
God lists His True Holy Days in Leviticus 23.
|||Christmas clearly does NOT come from the Bible. There just is no date given or even hinted at for Jesus' birth. And the appearance of the "Wise men" isn't even connected with the time of Jesus' birth. Nowhere in the Word of God is the birth of anyone annually celebrated (except Herod).
Christmas is clearly of heathen origin. And God's Word also clearly commands that what the heathen do to worship their gods, Christians are not to do in worship of the one true God.
So, yes, Christmas did not originate from Christianity; and no, I do not celebrate it. Obedience to God is greater praise than any amount of ungodly celebration.
What's amazing with all the people who know that Christmas is pagan in origin, but say "They are not bothered by that," is that they do not at all seem concerned that God is bothered by it.

Any suggestions for Christian music to be played during a wedding ceremony?
I am agnostic. Next year I am marrying a man who is Christian and comes from a very Christian family. This situation has been discussed openly with both my fiance and his family, and their attitude is one of acceptance of my viewpoint, even though I know they would like me to one day convert to Christianity. Anyway, I am completely unfamiliar with Christian music, but as a nod to my fiance's family, I would like some non-secular music to be playing during the wedding ceremony. Can anyone help me out with suggestions? The rest of the ceremony will be interspersed with secular classical music.|||you could use the music from different hymns, the music is recognizable, but you wouldn't need to use the words if you are looking for a strictly musical aspect.|||Are you looking for music with singing? For our ceremony we are going to have classical music for everything except for one song (my cousin wanted to sing a song during our ceremony - we haven't decided which one) and we are having our ceremony in a church.
How about Ode to Joy, or Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, or even Ave Maria for music without singing? Ave Maria can be sung too and it is so pretty! If you want singing, you can go to this website for inspiration: http://christianmusic.about.com/od/speci鈥?/a>
Good luck with your wedding!|||"When God made you" By Newsong is a great song for a wedding.

And i've never been so sure of anything in my life
Oh I wonder what God was thinking, when He created you.
I wonder if He knew everything I would need,
Because He made all my dreams come true.

Remember that there are a lot of pop songs that have Christianity incorporated into it. Amy Grant had a couple hits, "God Bless The Broke Road" by Rascal Flatts is a really nice song
Of course this is more reception I'm talking about.
For the ceremony, i'd avoid too much music anyways. 1 song to walk down the aisle and 1 song to walk back up it.(if you even want the 2nd one).
Don't over do the music.
And honestly, it's YOUR day, NOT theirs. I doubt they'd even know the difference between secular and non-secural classical music. Unless you really study the history of music, you don't know the difference. Could you tell me if Mozart wrote Christian music? probably not. lol.

Should Christian organizations raise a red flag that Liberty University is a waste of an investment?
I feel that the people most vulnerable to the seductive advertising by campuses like Liberty should be strongly warned that a degree there almost always does not lead to a career. This is an alum talking here by the way. This is a serious question, do Christian organizations have a serious moral responsibility to tell other Christians not to ATTEND LIBERTY?|||To be brutally honest, if you want an education, you go to a university which doesn't market itself primarily on it's religious affiliation, but on it's teaching and research accolades and the history of employment of it's graduates. Religion can have plenty of time devoted to it in a church of your choice and almost every university has religious services for every major religion and denomination thereof.
As a university capable student coming out of high-school, you should in principle be capable of finding this out by yourself because you really ought to not simply sign away several years of your life and a lot of money on a whim that you haven't researched in-depth.|||anybody dumb enough to enrol is unlikely to have found a worthwhile career anyway.
dont blame your failure on your dumb choice of 'university'.|||Any educational institution that guarantees you will find employment with their degree in that field should raise a red flag.|||If your College is a for profit institution or religious it is a waste, with the only notable exception being BYU which people can actually get a job after attending.|||Someone has sour grapes about their goddidit degree.

What's the difference between an Unitarian Christian and a Christian Universalist?
Oh, and an Unitarian Universalist Christian?|||Unitarian Christian = Christian who believes in one God, not one God with three manifestations. The Jehovah's Witnesses are the largest example I can think of. I'm not one. As I understand it, they believe Jesus was created, not born, but you should either ask one or hope one sees your question and gives a better answer than I did.
Christian Universalist = any Christian who believes in Universal salvation; everyone goes to heaven, even the Jews, Hindus, Baptists who drank and Episcopalians who used the wrong fork. (Those last two refer to an old joke.)
UU Christian = member of a UU congregation who believes Jesus was divinely inspired, if not divinely sired.

a "Christian Universalist" is a Christian who believes in universal salvation; and

How much attention is really given to the Christian derived New Years around the world?
We often hear the media and the common person make the statement that the world is celebrating the New Years. Is the celebration of New Years exaggerated? Do none Western, non-post colonial countries, and non-Christian countries participate in the celebration of New Years to the degree that the West does? I don't think too many native Mogolians celebrate the Christian influenced New Years.|||Many places around the world, for reasons illogical, celebrate the New Year's holiday. True Christians have nothing to do with it.|||All of the countries in the world celebrate New Year's and most of them go all-out for it just like here.
