Society & Culture - 22 August 2007

For all those who have been religious but turned away from their religious beliefs, what changed your mind? Muslims, Jews, Christians, etc., I'm curious about what it was that changed your mind.

I would be interested in reading comments from people of all religions, all across the political spectrum, from all over the world. In other words, people who are actual human beings and not evil monsters. Reading the story linked below made me both sad and angry. I don't understand how any real human being could feel otherwise. Is it realistic to hope that the world can be rid of such evil?

what about the curse of ham ? brown ppl are cursed

what about women ?

"The absence of either salvation or condemnation for women finds extensive support in the Word of God." He reported. "Jesus said that the sole reason God created women in the first place was to provide company and service to men (1 Corinthians 11:9), God determined that men would be lonely living alone, so he created women purely to keep men company and serve their needs (Genesis 2:18-22). Women are therefore completely subordinate to men (1 Corinthians 11:3). It stands to reason, though, that once men enter the Kingdom of Heaven, they will be one with God, and will no longer be lonely and in need of mortal companionship. Thus, the reason behind having women will no longer exist. Women, like the members of the animal kingdom, will fall by the wayside."

An otherwise pretty decent U.S. society is unfortunately infested with a relatively-small (fortunately!) percentage of buttinskyish and busybodyish losers having no lives of their own, who don't even hesitate to WHINE whenever *other* people...

-- Engage in unmarried (casual) sex.
-- Choose to have abortions.
-- Seek to marry a partner of the same sex.
-- Publish and sell legal pornography.

NONE of the above are the least bit harmful to others, and therefore are NO one else's business but that of those who consentingly participate in them.

When they are asked why, they usually say they oppose such behaviors because the Bible disagrees with them.

QUESTION -- Are those self-righteous whiners **really** so dumb as to think that they are in ANY way authorized by the Bible to act as **enforcers** of that which they perceive as its precepts? Because in reality, the Bible neither appoints nor authorizes any person or group to act as a GESTAPO in its behalf.

began telling me that he wants me to move to his city. We live only 30 min away from each other.I dont have my own apartment because I have to help my grandmother,she wants me here.He has been looking for apartments in his city for me.The rent is really high where he lives.Why does he want me to just pick up and move there to be with him.The only help that he has offered is to rent a car and help move my belongings from here to there.He said that I am always coming to his place and he doesnt want to come to mine because it is too far.Could he be abusive?
Is this a warning?
Should I be carefull?

Are any of you really excited about Jesus? Lately I am just so excited to know him, to love him, to learn about him. I can feel his love for me. Sometimes I just want to shout it out.

Eleizer Shulman in the Jerusalem Post did a tremendous article showing how in the book of Numbers, there was an error made by the Jewish scribes who kept the dates, and they are really at the same year we are now, if they corrected their calendar.

However the world does not blow up-Isaiah 45:17 and Ephesians 3:21.
Revelation 6:12
Satan is the prince of the power of the air, heavens Ephesians 2:2; so we wrestle against evil, wicked spirits, fallen angels, in high places,Bible teaches that some of these angels were bound in areas where they're going to be loosed for Armageddon. But the point is, Elijah was caught up by a whirlwind into heaven, and these were angels, good ones, coming after him in chariots of fire. Maybe that's what it's all about, angels traveling in the heavenlies.
So 2012 could be the start of Armageddon or the return of Jesus
Thoughts?

God is a magical being of infinite power...He is capable of creating and managing an infinite universe...He is frequently referenced as the explaination of where we, and everything else comes from...Wouldn't a being like that, either "popping into existance," or "having always been," LESS plausable than US AND THE UNIVERSE just "popping into existance," or "having always been?"
