Society & Culture - 27 July 2007

This isn't to antagonize or upset anyone, but due to previous complications with a particular person on Yahoo!ANSWERS, I came to wonder:

Why is it so easy for many people to believe that God "always was and always will be" but it's much, much harder for these people to believe that the same could apply to the universe?

I just thought it was kind of funny that it's reasonable to beleive that God didn't have a creator and just "always is", but it's much harder to believe that the universe didn't have a creator and "always is".

Any suggestions? Explanations?

For a while, I've been religously confused...I was a Christian, but after watching all those people who are nuts about that, I didn't want to be anymore. I still don't want to be Christian. I tried Wicca, but I couldn't understand what I was doing. So now I say that I'm Pagan, because I love all religions no matter how bizzar. What exactly do I do? Please, don't say 'find Jesus', 'be Christian' or anything like that. Please, acctually help.

Hello everyone. This question invites both Christians and Atheists

Who is God, and why can’t we see this imaginary person who said to be the cause for all things?

I’ve mentioned that I’ve seen God to many people numerous times, and the Atheists said it was all in my mind and personal belief. I tried to explain how I came to see God, and they said they do not want to hear my mentally ill theories and madness. If you are an Atheist and an intellectual individual, I expect you to read my message in order to answer my question, which is “ Do you grasp my message?”

I know it's Christ, but i also noticed they first mentioned Christ by His name before they introduced the 'Slain Lamb'... so why refer to Christ as a Slain Lamb when they've already called Him Christ in the book? Also, why was the 'Slain Lamb' introduced in the first place? Wasnt' Chirst "always" around?

I also noticed "He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death" Rev 2:11, which can be interpreted different ways meaning Christ's ressurrection and then ascension, but i doubt it cause He wasn't slain, God 'lifted' Him up.

Personally, i believe the 'Lamb' that is 'Slain' is what triggers the Day of the Lord, that it is possibly the "second death" of Christ... meaning He'd have to be reborn into this world, but under a different name... which is the only reason why they'd refer to Him as the "Slain Lamb" instead of Christ.

But of course that goes against "teachings", but the beauty of that is, no one is God... so they dont' really know.

Just a possibility.

Jesus Christ is real and He is our God!! There is a heaven and a hell! satan is also real! Jesus loves you and cares! Jesus is the only way too heaven! Jesus is the way too everlasting life! love comes from Jesus and hate comes from satan! wake up people this world is not going to get better. life is short. its up to you were you end up in heaven or hell. By the life you live. live for Jesus and accept Him then you will go too heaven. Don't live for Jesus and don't accept Him. then there is only one place you will end up and thats hell. people make up there on minds too while they want to end up when they die. where they realize it or not. the person has no one to blame but them selfs. if they end up in hell. Jesus is the only way too heaven and everlasting life with Jesus Christ! praying for the lost souls. Jesus loves you all. some people can get upset and say ugly things to christians and Jesus. they are only hurting themselfs. also it will not change the truth about God!

You live in an apartment and you only have one parking spot. You get along with your neighbors when you first move in. Then one of them next door moves out and suddendly you find that the new neighbor has lots of friends. Now someone is often parked in your spot. You go to talk to them about it and they say,"oh yeah, I was going to apologize." Then someone else parks there and you ask the driver why he didn't notice the number that is painted on your spot. He gives you the dumbest response. Now you're afraid to even move your car just to make sure you don't lose your spot AGAIN when you get back. Do you buy a sawhorse and put a No Parking sign on it? Do you get revenge? Do you just keep complaining about it repeatedly? How do you keep from screaming at them? Right now, all I can think of to do is to park behind them or just sit there honking until someone comes out. This is not what I wanted. It's been going on since the day they moved in. What now?

See, Britney Spears can't do it. My elegant wife even can't do it right. I think the idea is to get out of the car without showing anyone your panties (or shaved beaver in Britney's case) so what's the proper way to do it.

After just reading this in a book, I'm curious how many here believe it correct. If you believe it possible and happening, do you do all you can to help it come to fruition? What measures will facilitate apprehension?

"The goal ahead is the consciousness of non-separateness, and the recognition of a universal inclusiveness; the secondary goal is the ability to reveal the nature of that reality, Unity; the third goal is the ability to take those measures in the three worlds, which will facilitate mankind's apprehension of these fundamentals."

that the things your children do, say or dont do doesnt hurt you anymore, or at least not as much?

Is it a sign of emotional immaturity to still be so hurt by them when you are 55 years old?

What are "normal" expectations of a mother - child relationship if you were very close when they were children, when the child becomes an adult? With a son? A daughter?

Are you now being faced with either choosing God's wisdom or persisting in rebellious independence? The problems which you may have created for yourself has the potential to destroy you. Don't ignore God's advice even if it is painful for the present. It will keep you from greater pain in the future.
