And when I say read that does not include having individual segments read to you in church.

If you have, how can you possibly ignore the glaring contradictions and still claim that the Bible is the inerrant word of God?

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone knows some good exercises or meditation techniques for improving one's ability to sense and control the flow of Ki within and around them.

I already know about 5 different breathing exercises and a basic meditation technique, I'm just curious if anyone knows of any that are more beneficial than others.

Please don't give me links to google searches as I can do that on my own. I'm asking this question for people that have personal experience with developing the ability to sense and control the flows of Ki.

Thanks in advance.

Most people in the christian or catholic church are well aware of how they need to live their lives in order to receive God's gracious invitation into heaven, but what exactly does heaven consist of? The descriptions in the Bible portray heaven as an illustrious place with pearly white gates where your soul can live in peace forever. But that seems to be about it. What exactly do you do in heaven? Why does God send you there? If you "live" in heaven for an eternity, then surely God must have some use or purpose for you? Why would he create a place that collects a neverending supply of righteous souls that just sit around for an eternity?

I'm not approaching this topic with any sort of bias agenda. I'm very open minded and just curious about this topic.

(There isn't space to list all the texts, sorry.)

Are they subject to interpretation even when certain scriptures are claimed to be divinely inspired?

How do we know that the one who teaches us about those texts has the correct understanding?

How can any one be sure that they correctly understand the word of a human, much less the Word of God?

It's such a dangerous cult which brainwashes people, it should be illegal. Also, it shouldn't be called a religion since it isn't. And also, L Ron Hubbard frequently raped young boys.

Why am I posting this under religion?

I mean, it touches on all the bases: sacrifice, blood atonement, idol worship, divination, etc...

many Christians beleive in possesions, too... they just call it "the power of the spirit" or something like that... The whole thing reeks of paganism... it's only minor variations on the same old things done by indigenous tribes in Africa and South America and old Nordic and Greek and Roman Mythologies...

what makes Christianity so popular, so different (and supposedly so un-pagan) if it really is just the same old thing with a different cover?

I do not have the theological expertise to clarify my question further. However, that’s how I feel. Am I right?

Do you think it is fair to attack someones religious belief if it differs from your own? Is it out of frustration Or because people just don't understand the religion?

We have air, we all KNOW we have it, we breath it, and we cant "see' it, but its there.

Stop using air as an argument for God. "If we cant see air, but we know its there, then doesnt in stand that just cause you cant see God, he's there too"

No. No. No. Using Air to try to prove God exists, will get you NO where with Atheists. Why? We KNOW theres air, we are alive, we breath it, its there. We DO NOT know there is a God, that is based on faith alone. Who agrees with me?

(Im a Christian, no need to convince me. My point is the argument is redundant, so can we stop now?)

heard of that? I doubt it is in a loving way. they are my mates but always chat in a sexual way about young asian girls and how they would do them. On the same hand they hate their community. I am new to the area and I have met these mates at a local social club. I don't mind either way...White girls, black girls...any for me. But the way these racists talk ..they seem to want the girls in a different way..does anyone know what I mean? they do not talk about rape ...but they talk very aggressively about asain women in a sexualised way...some r very charming and on the few occasion when a young asain lass has been in...one or two are all over her. They always boast about the sex afterwards. I don;t understand it to be honest...on the one hand there is pure hate and the other they go after the women.....why? Anyone explain???? They hate the asain men round here but seem utterly charmed by the young girls who I must admit are pretty to look at, ust can't understand that view from racists

I work for a small company and the owner of the Company is probably a 7 figure type-guy and he will not lift the lid. This is unfathomable to me. Does anyone else out there have a similiar situation, or is this guy a whack job?

i heard this from an old christian heavy metal rock band, either styx or black sabbath, it was part of a documentary study about backward masking,this study state that most rock bands are diabolic in spirits. Now, this rock group say lambs were meant to be slaughtered, offered to sacrifices, their furs used,. In short, raise them for sustainability, not raising them so that they enjoy the green pastures, but to be used for consumption.They even refer it directly as what is happening to christiendom.
