What is the definition of a Christian character?
One who believes in the Bible, God and Christ Jesus and complies with the teachings as much as possible.

There wont be slaves per se....but the Bible indicates two things One...there will be those who "inherit" the kingdom of God...ie have rulership with Christ Two...there will be those who "enter" the Kingdom of God...as people who enter a land to live in You can walk into a Hilton Hotel and stay in it...but you wont necessarily "inherit" it Thats my understanding anway. Obedience is the key.....study the scripture...
I am not sure how I believe on this issue. In the old testament it says, for a woman not to wear that which pertains to a man and if you do that it is an abomination unto the Lord. But the question is ... is the bible talking about pants. Any comments on this issue will be greatly appreciated.

What are some Christian words to comfort a mother who has lost her child?
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. == Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.... 4Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 5And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it... 8The grass withers, the flower fade: but the word of our God shall stand for ever... 10Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. 11He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young... 26Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth... 28Has thou not known? has thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases strength. 30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Pastors' salaries vary by denomination, education, and size of the church. Starting salaries in most churches would be $30,000-$40,000. The average pastor at the average church on the corner of your local town would probably make $50,000-$60,000. In the South where large churches are common, salaries are noticeably higher in the larger churches. For churches with 1000+ members, salaries would be $75,000-$100,000. In some affluent areas a pastor could get a package of $150,000. For Mega-churches there are no limits, especially if the pastor is writing books or producing educational material or has a television ministry. As a point of reference, the average salary of all United Methodist pastors in the United States is $60,000
What is the concept of the 'Oneness of God'?
I have been a Oneness Pentecostal minister for 26 years, and can assure you that most of the answers below are far-removed from the true Biblical definition of the Oneness of God. The SHORT answer is that God is a single, solitary Spirit known throughout the Old Testament as the Father. He was also known as the Holy Spirit, and in the New Testament as the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost conceived Jesus Christ in the womb of Mary, indicating that the Holy Ghost is also the Father. The Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost is the Spirit of Christ. ONE SPIRIT incarnate in ONE BODY - Jesus Christ. See: The Oneness of God at http://kenraggio.com/KR-Oneness.htm

For the Christian explanation of the Oneness of God, see link below.
Oneness
Means there is only one being here and every where...as you have done on to one you have done on to yourself
Answer
The Oneness of God refers to the fact that God is One and there is no other. The teaching on the Oneness of God developed during the time of the prophets as the Jews came to realise that there is only one God. (Strange as it may seem, Jews did not always believe this; several psalms refer to the gods of the heathens).
For Christians, this Oneness of God is maintained even though they believe in the Trinity because the Trinity is three Persons in one God not 3 gods. Although this was revealed by Jesus, it is not something to be explained as it is a mystery in much the same way that the Incarnation (Jesus being God-incarnate and thus fully human and fully divine) is a mystery.
Answer
"What is the Oneness of God?"
The oneness of his worship: God alone should be worshiped. No saint, angel, prophet, human, rock etc. should be prayed to only God.
The oneness of his lordship: Only God is lord over all. He has no helper or intercessor he alone rules all creation and forgives sins.
The oneness of his names and attributes: In Islam God has 99 names and attributes belonging only to him.
in the Quran Surah 112: 1-4: "Say: He is Allah, the One, Allah, the Self-Sufficient Master upon Whom all depend, He begets not, nor is He begotten, and there is none who is comparable unto Him."
In Islam, this is called Tawhid, and is one of the central beliefs of the Shahaddah, the declaration of faith made by all Muslims. Shirk is one of the greatest sins and includes worshipping idols etc. and anything else contradicting Tawhid.

I believe Jesus is God incarnate - Jesus is the fully revealed name of God. No longer do we have to call him by his titles but by the name revealed to us in the NT.
Answer
God never called Himself Allah - He called Himself EL or YHWH
Allah is the name of a Moon God which is not the God who created Adam and Eve
Elohim is a plurality associated with God. One God manifested in multiple ways.
Just like humans are multifaceted, we were created in the image and likenes of God.
We are one person, yet we have a spirit, soul and live in a body. That makes our nature 3 yet one person still.
Jesus is the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Jesus was fully divine and fully human.
Answer
The concept of the oneness of God to put it in a nutshell is Omnipotence that is, there is nothing outside God. God is everywhere at all time in the past the present and the future simultaneously. There is nothing out side of God. God is the creator.This bring us to the point that every thing is God because God is everything. (this is pantheism)
AnswerGod is Oneness, One without second, pure Being, not separate. God includes everything, and allows all to be. Without God, nothing exists, so all that exists is the Oneness. It's only an illusion of separation, an illusion of not Oneness, this is what is needed to be seen through. Through the illusion, this and that is seen, this and that is wanted or not wanted, but through Oneness, nothing is lacking.
Answer
Basically an elaboration of the answer above:
Many sources, including Ra, Edgar Cayce, and others, say that the Oneness essentially got lonely. It needed to do something. It needed to create.
So it conceptualized the idea of breaking Itself up into all these parts, knowing that the parts would be able to evolve by their own free will, making their own decisions. Things would happen that the Oneness was not yet able to understand or comprehend. The parts would have essentially their own creative ability. They would be Co-Creators.
The Great Plan was that at the end, after this entire cycle of universal evolution was complete, all of the parts that had evolved on their own would independently recognize their God Consciousness, renounce separation, embrace unity, and return to the totality of Oneness. The One Creator from that very fact would be highly enhanced, because all of this wonderful creative stuff had transpired in that transition from ''One'' to ''many'' and back to ''One.
So God is evolving, and not some static Being that just sits there and waits for everybody to catch up. God is experiencing our evolution with us.
It is too easy to separate ourselves from God. God is not evolving with us because we are God evolving, when that evolution ends all will be complete and realise all. This is a bit of a scary thought. It means that we are all the same individual and when this realisation is finally realised it means that individuality is the ultimate illusion. So, in other words, the human race is God.
Answer
The Oneness of God; God the Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit. Three who are the same God. We can't be expected to fully understand some concepts, much like the 'Oneness of God'. All we can really do is theroize from what we read or believe.
God is everywhere, He is in everything at all times in all times. That doesn't, however, mean that everything is God. Because, if everything were God, then everything would be perfect, or in perfection. As it is, we are definitely far from perfection.
Answer
The concept of unity has various names - in Hinduism, Advaita, in Christian mysticism Solipsism. Both mean "not two". People question whether God exists, without thinking whether the world exists, or they themselves exist. In terms of Advaita, unity means only one of these three can be real; the unknown " I " is real, and is another name for God, "you" and the world are shadows or dreams of this Essence or Self. It is as though (in the words of Spinoza) the world is the mere reflection of God that is a failed attempt of the mind to understand, or a reflection of an unseen in a mirror, or God seen through a kaleidocope called mind. Or that we can only see reality through cracked spectacles, with divisions that aren't really there. In reality there is only one drop in the ocean, without any qualifications (age, gender, colour, etc); so that what we see as 6 billion people is really God seen darkly. Without self-imposed limitations or boundaries, every drop is the whole Ocean. When the dreamer awakes, all the dreams vanish, since they never had a separate existence.
Answer
Oneness of God means to worship God alone; thiscis to believe that nobody is equal to God in terms of power or attributes. If someone says Sri Ram/Muhammad/Buddha/Saibaba is God, he is either telling a lie or denying Him altogether, because God alone can be God.
Answer
God by very name is all powerful, all pervading. He is beyond time and space but encompassing every thing including our time and space. He has no end and no beginning. He is beyond description as he is not discernible by our senses. This is the Hindu concept of God. Such being the case there cannot be separate Gods for Hindus and Christians. If we accept there are separate gods then both are not powerful Gods as there will be separate domains for them.
This is the Hindu concept of the oneness of God. Differences in religions are due to approaches in preaching, culture, practice and beliefs subservient to the main universal belief.
The concept of the oneness of God implies that there is only one God. This statement can be interpreted in two ways: "Therefore all gods except mine must be false", or "Therefore all religions differ only in scriptures, ceremonies, beliefs, and teachings; they may have been divinely inspired to suit people off different races and temperaments, and many may include misunderstandings and errors, but obviously they all worship one God under different names". The latter seems to me the more reasonable.
God is All-inclusive and nothing is 'other' than God. If an ocean is thought of as a collection of millions of drops, then the next stage is to imagine skins round each drop and differences between them. In reality, the ocean is real but the drops are a derivation; there is only one undivided drop. Just so, the universe is God seen, "sub species aeternitatis" as Spinoza puts it, by the mind. The mind is flawed, like a kaleidoscope; we pop the notion "God" into it, and it can't cope with such a vast unity. The best it can do is to produce a manyness, which we call the universe. Within this congeries we name imaginary 'parts' as good or evil, perfect and imperfect. But these are human concepts that totally distort the Reality, that is pure consciousness and has no such qualities itself. God is everything, but everything is not God. Since there is nothing but God, anything 'else' is a mental distortion that only appears to be real on account of having God as its source or essence. A single, undivided spirit. The universe does not in reality consist of even 1% physical matter, and 'we' are neither bodies made of chemicals nor minds made of thoughts. Only 'my' faulty consciousness confines 'me' as an individual to a single body. We don't 'have' spirits, spirit has us.

Answer
4. Consider, Brethren, this one thing, and see if even in multitude itself anything pleases, but this oneness. See how great a number, through God's mercy, you are: who could bear you, if you did not mind one thing? Whence in this many is this quiet? Give oneness, and it is a people; take oneness away, and it is a crowd. For what is a crowd, but a disordered multitude? But give ear to theApostle: Now I beseech you, brethren. He was speaking to a multitude; but he wished to make them all one. Now I beseech you, brethren, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that you be perfected in the same mind, and in the same knowledge. And in another place, That ye be of one mind, thinking one thing, doing nothing through strife or vainglory. And the Lord prays to the Father touching them that are His: that they may be one even as We are One. And in the Acts of the Apostles; And the multitude of them that believed were of one soul, and of one heart. Therefore, Magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His Name in one together. For one thing is necessary, that celestial Oneness, the Oneness in which the Father, and the Son, and Holy Spirit are One. See how the praise of Unity is commended to us. Undoubtedly our God is Trinity. The Father is not the Son the Son is not the Father, the Holy Spirit is neither the Father, nor the Son, but the Spirit of both; and yet these Three are not Three Gods, nor Three Almighties; but One God, Almighty, the whole Trinity is one God; because One thing is necessary. To this one thing nothing brings us, except being many we have one heart.
St Agustine's Sermon 53 on the New Testament
it means that there is only one god he is alone and has no one with him hope that helps in simple forms:)
