After-all, if god makes a tumor grow in someone doesn't he want it to stay there? What are your thoughts on this?

Why are there so many different denominations and sects in Christianity? Don't you think it would be better if we didn't have any of that?

Was it something you grew up with believing? was it a choice you made after investigating religions? tell me what religion you are and why and even a bit about the religion itself and what makes you stay with it.

The original hebrew of Psalms 83:18 contains gods name (הוהי (YHWH) in Hebrew letters. In English, the common rendering is “Jehovah.”)

Some bible translations replace this with GOD or LORD. Others render it as Jehovah.

How do you think this should be translated? Please tell me which one you think is correct, and your view as to why it is correct.

Also why do you think many translators have replaced 'Jehovah' with 'god' or 'lord' in nearly 7000 different places in the Hebrew scriptures?

Thanks.

Children aren't born "believing" anything. If, when you were a child, your parents told you that the things you didn't understand came from magic.....then gave you a book that said magic was true.....you wouldn't believe it, would you?

Why doesn't this skepticism extend to the bible?

Do you believe because your parents told you to? At some point that was probably the case....so what convinced you that they were right? A personal experience?

I have been wondering what the Church, individual preachers or ministers think of ghosts/hauntings with Christianity. I grew up in an Upstate New York house on a Native American burial ground (also next to a graveyard & old churchhouse) and experienced some very strange occurances. If there are any PREACHERS, CLERGY, or PASTORS that may like to shed their own views on this it would be much appreciated. (I am Nondenominational Christian and welcome to any other denominational answer.)

I have seen it written that people only come to religion through fear of the unknown ie Death. Is this always true? Can spirituality exist without fear?

I've heard some people say that everyone between Adam and Eve and Jesus salvation of people so they wouldn't die from sin ended up in Hell. Is that true? Is the only true way to heaven through Christ if those prior to Jesus got there just fine without him?

Just looked at the official Church of Scientology website. Aside from some wacky beliefs and practices (ie-silent birth & wierd e machine), are the theories (beliefs and practices) of Scientology really that unbelieveable? Many people belive really out-there things, so why do we find the ideas of scientology so wierd?

2006-08-10 05:32:21 · 15 answers · asked by Red 4 in Religion & Spirituality

I mean, if God made man in his image, why would there be men with different features? Furthermore, why would God even bother making so many different varieties of man, and even if he did, why would he separate them geographically for thousands of years. Wouldn't he mix us all together in the same communities?

Doesn't it make more sense that we evolved as humans according to the geographic regions in which we lived?

Since I have been 'attending' yahoo answers, I am amazed at how much Racism, Bigotry, Anger, Pro-war, Anti-peace and general dischord and indifference there is between humankind, and this is just a handful of people talking (for fun, I thought) on the internet.

It brings John Lennons 'Imagine' to mind. Am I the only person who thinks John got it all right with one song?

We know all our petrol, disel, cooking gas,coal etc are natural resources extracted from the earth without limits. If these resources are exhausted what can be thought of. Because other energy sources like solar electrical are negligible at present
