We have a Heavenly Father who loves to give good gifts to His children. The best gift you could ever receive is yours for the asking - eternal life! We can't earn it, and none of us deserve it.

What a gift! If you want that kind of gift, here's how to get it:
- Pray this prayer (or one similar - it's not the words that matter, it's the sincerity of your heart). Dear Father, I'm sorry for trying to live my life my own way. I've been wrong. I'm sorry for my selfish lifestyle, and I confess my sins to You. Will You forgive my sins? II want to live for You, Jesus. I believe You died for my sins so I wouldn't have to. I also believe You conquered death and will someday judge the entire world. I accept Your forgiveness and Your gift of eternal life. I commit my whole life to You, Jesus. Please help me to grow spiritually and become a solid and strong Christian.
- Start living for Jesus. Decide to turn away from things that don't glorify Him. You'll still blow it from time to time. But when you do, stop and seek His forgiveness and continue living for Him. Before you turn on that TV, listen to that song, think about Phillipians 4:8. (NIV) Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. If you know in your heart those lyrics and that movie isn't appropriate, get rid of it. Of course, you will have temptation and sometimes you may fall. But, remember Jesus forgives you. (Of course, that doesn't mean go do whatever you want.)
- Get involved in a church. Ask your pastor to baptize you as a special testimony of your new life in Christ. (Note - Going to church doesn't make you a Christian)
- If you don't have a Bible that you understand, think about getting a student Bible - one with lots of graphics, helps and explanations. A NIV Bible might work. You can view the Bible online at places like Biblegateway.com. Remember, reading your Bible is your guidebook to life.
Becoming a Christian isn't all that very hard. Just pray and accept the invitation Jesus gave for you. Becoming a Christian is a very good thing to consider. go to:
John 8:32 NIV Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
Some believe there are several ways, like attending a local church or registering yourself to the church of England, and then being baptized. That is a way to join a church, but not to become a Christian. Even then, most pastors will ask if you have accepted Jesus as your Savior.

In practice all Christian religions to a greater or lesser degree follow Christ in relation to the following: faith and trust in God, prayer and self-denial, observance of the law which is written in Scripture and in the hearts of those who love the truth and offering sacrifice to God (various animal and bird offerings in the Old Testament, the Lamb of God in the New Testament, the sacrifice of the Mass in the Catholic Church, Communion in the Anglican Church).
What did Elizabeth I think about Catholic and protestant?
Queen Elizabeth took power away from the Roman Catholic Church and created a tolerable religious community for the most part. She was Protestant Christian but enacted the Act of Supremacy, and Act of Uniformity. This was done in order to clear the name of England for its infamous policy of religious intolerance left to her by her half sister Bloody Mary. Unfortunately, this did not stop her from wanting to persecute the once ruling Catholics. Especially in Ireland, which was under English control. Cromwell was the harshest of Queen Elizabeth's followers, who supposedly made a game of the Catholic rebellion by challenging his soldiers to see how many babies heads they could spear.
What are the similarities between Catholicism and Taoism?
Both religions teach high ethical standards. Catholicism teaches that when each person dies, his or her soul goes to heaven, to purgatory for the temporary punishment of sins, or to hell. Taoism teaches that when each person dies, his or her soul is reincarnated until the soul gains perfect spiritual knowledge and righteousness, after which it ascends to heaven.
Catholicism teaches the veneration of saints and provides statues and pictures so that parishioners can pray to the saint of their choice. There are special feast days for individual saints. Taoism teaches that the immortals can be worshipped or venerated in a similar way, and provides statues and pictures so that people can pray to the immortal of their choice. There are special feast days for individual immortals.
Taoism is an inclusive religion and does not reject the gods of other religion. It therefore accepts the probable divinity of the Abrahamic God and of Jesus, although recognising that they have no relevance in Taoism.

Desiderius Erasmus's position on church rituals was to get rid of some church rituals that he considered meaningless. Instead of rituals, he emphasized devotion to God and the teaching of Jesus.

Are there similarities between Christianity and Catholicism?
Actually there are more similarities among catholics and Muslims that one could think of. I would like to point out some:
1. Allah (God)
Most people think Allah is a completely different God from the one that catholics believe in. But it is the same God, just the name "Allah" is the Arabic word for "God" in English as it is "Dios" in spanish.
2. Jesus and the Virgin Mary
Muslims do believe in Jesus and in the Virgin Mary, the only difference is that for Muslims Jesus is not Gods son (God cannot be related with any human), he is a prophet.
3. Makkah and The Holy See
These are places where most of the members of these two religions attend with spiritual means.
I could mention many more, but to finish there is one, probably the most important one: We Muslims believe in One God as the catholics do.

What are all the singing ranges in order?
Five of six would be Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Barritone and Bass, Soprano being the highest female voice, and alto lower. Tenor is the higher male voice, with barritone and bass being sequentially lower. These ranges actually overlap, as I as a tenor can hit many notes in the alto and soprano range, even though I am male. I can also dive into the barritone and even a little of the bass. In barbershop chorus, there are four vocal ranges. Tenor (the highest, usually sung by a young boy) Lead (the melody) Barritone (counter melody, lower) and Bass (bass)
