Society & Culture - 27 November 2006

I have observed with great interest the continuing debate between the disparate religious groups on here. To take one example:
The Christians and the Muslims. Mutual apostasy, blasphemy whatever you like to call it. The various arguments/threats from either camp seems incapable of placating or convincing the other. Surely this is an impossibly unbearable situation for both. I have read that in both your scriptures that it is valid, obligatory, (demanded even!) of you that you be prepared to literally fight and die to defend YOUR beliefs against unbelievers. Christianity has a long and honourable tradition of martyrdom and persecution in the name of its faith. Islam is no stranger to fighting holy wars in defense of the Prophet (PBUH) (past and present). The logical answer to this intolerable situation is obviously to stop hiding behind placards or dissing each other in chatrooms, and get out there and fight the good fight for the right! No doubt GOD will be on the winning side!

Hey everyone, my friend Jessica and I were just talking about our church that we go to and about the different headcoverings that women wear. Some wear a hat, others a bonnet, Jessica and I and some others wear what as known as a snood which covers our long hair. There are also women who wear a veiling over their hair and also there is two women who wear a veil over their head. Our church is against women wearing a female kippot or doily. Jessica and I wear these also sometimes when we are praying at home. Well, this lady came up to us in the assembly and said that we needed to cover our face as well. My husband says that as long as we cover our hair we are okay, but if we wanted to wear a complete veil we could. What should we do?

Okay, first off... I'm a very open minded person, I'm gay and I have boyfriend, and we've been dating for a three months and things are going great; Well we were at the Mall, and we kissed each other, and I didn't really care what other people thought as long as they minded their own business. So, this girl, that looks 25.. came up to us and said "That's ewww gross, you two need a room." I've said this to her "Well, there is no law against public kissing, and we can do whatever the hell we want, and I'm tired of this censorship crap... so mind your own damn business... okay?" She looks at us shocked, and she said "Well, it's a sin." I was like "Grow up, and get used to it you narrow minded idiot." She left nodding her head. God it makes me so mad, when people can't mind their own business, they have to tap you and say negative ****.

Has this happened to you? If so tell me about it.

I believe that animals go to heaven. The Noak's Ark is a prophetic picture with Noah's family and all the pairs of animals being saved from judgement that God will restore mankind and all his creation in the new heaven and new earth at the completion of the present age. God's Covenant with Noah is for mankind and all flesh that they will never suffer God's judgement for sins but be restored forever, The Ark is a picture of the body of Jesus in which all creation will be saved. John 3:16 says that God so love the world (the whole earth and not just mankind) that He sent His Son to save the world. The fact that 'world' is used and not a specific term referring to mankind alone shows that it is God's intention to save mankind and all his other creation, including animals. Love is an attribute of God that man has for God is love. If man can love animals would not God loves them more? I believe God loves us and all His creation which He has considered good and He will restore all..

Is it just me or is there an odd similarity between children believing in santa claus, and adults believing in a God? If you are good, santa will bring you presents (God will let you into heaven), if you are bad, you get coal in your stocking (you get sent to hell).
just a thought

I understand that the ultimate place for an LDS marriage is in one of your temples. A relative of mine is LDS and when they got married, they had a ring ceremony in their regular church after getting sealed in the temple.

Why could they not have a regular ceremony at the church (after the temple sealing)

Why could they not say vows to one another?

Why are the ceremonies in the temple so secretive to those who are not part of the LDS faith?

Well there is this guy and I really care about him and I haven't seen him in a while but he is SICK(he might have cancer). He is not in the WILL OF GOD. I can't seem to hear God speaking to me about this topic. This guy won't really talk to me and I feel that he is shuting the door to God, I'm not sure of his salvation God might be trying to get his attention but then I am he is out of the Will of God and God might be punishing him. I get the idea that he doesn't want to hurt me anymore and he doesn't want me to know about his sickness and that he is afraid. I can't really focus on anything. What should I do? Leave it alone? If you can't think of anything then PLEASE just PRAYER for me and him. THANK YOU

I mean it in the context of letting someone get the firm resolve that they should leave you perfectly alone, since you don't want anything to do with them.
I simply want to tell the person this, but she might find it too offensive.
Would you tell it to her straight, or would you try smaller things, like ignoring her, or excluding her from things?

The reason why I want to sever all connections with her, is because she is constantly making feeble attempts to compete with me, but is losing, and humiliating herself.
It's getting on my nerves, and I don't find it entertaining at all.
