What does this mean?

2007-09-11 07:05:27 · 17 answers · asked by Anonymous in Religion & Spirituality

Both my parents are Anglians but don't go to church. My sister and her family are regular church goers and are active in the social side of it. She belongs to a Baptist church. I am agnostic and see organised religion as a repressive form of control. My husband is interested in Buddhism but was brought up in the Anglian church. [He was an alter boy].

My parents wanted me to make up my own mind about religion and I was never christened. When I was eleven my mother asked me to go a few times to church to see if I was interested but she left the decision whether to carry on going up to me. I didn't but my sister did and eventually got confirmed.

What is your religious/ideological background?

anyone else think religion is ridiculous?
all of them are the same story with different names for things...we're one planet out of billions so clearly theres other life out there that DONT have religions like us. This "god" everyone refers to is just an idea they have to keep themselves from falling apart. The "god" we all have is ourself's. The planet. We're all connected. Scientists say theres 22 genes in the human DNA- all extraterrestrial. Look at the pyramids...that right there should abolish any idea from your head that one day a half naked man will come down from the sky and save you from the earth's destruction and you'll all walk through pearly gates. Im not saying there isn't an afterlife- Im just saying its most likely nothing what we believe it is. Theres no heaven and hell- its just another realm that we could never imagine. The mind and body are two seperate things. Without the mind the body cannot live - even in christianity thats said. Inner spirituality & meditation.

I dreamed 3 years ago that I saw a person I once knew in my childhood he died of old age. He was more of a grandfather figure to me. I dreamed I seen him in a garden and people were working on it. I told him that place was cool and he told me I would be joinning him. I was not happy abt that news I asked him when and he told me when im 34. That was 3 years ago and I am now 28. Not saying I believe what I dream is going to happen or not but can you imagen the nervousness you might feel as you approch of age?! I am a mother of 3 children and no way in hell am I going anywhere so soon!

Okay we had Ted Haggard, then Florida Republican Rep. Mark Foley ' s preoccupation with teenage boys then Republican legislator Bob Allen getting arrested in a park restroom for soliciting oral sex from a police officer; then Southern Baptist Convention leader Lonnie Latham in Oklahoma City arrested on a lewdness complaint for propositioning a plainclothes policeman; and Indiana Young Republican National Federation leader Glenn Murphy resigning after police charged him with sexually assaulting a young man, then the downfall of closeted former Virginia GOP Congressman Ed Schrock and Larry Craig.

Latest news is Christopher Austin, an 'ex-gay' counselor in Irving, Texas, was convicted of sexually assaulting a young client who came to his gay therapy to be turned straight. Austin was sentenced to 10 years in prison, seven years probation and is now registered as a sex offender.

Do gay people who do not learn to accept themselves act out in unhealthy ways? When will this end?

Is Allah the Muslim translation name from YHWH? Because Jehovah is the English translation from YHWH. I am wondering about this for some time now. We all know that there is only one God, creator of heaven and earth and all living things. Creator of man and woman. Only one begotten Son, Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit. Is this also your beliefs too?

2007-09-11 06:58:49 · 10 answers · asked by Debs 5 in Religion & Spirituality

Yea or nay?

That’s not saying to treat individual Muslims in that way, just the miscreant religion of Islam itself... God loves the sinner, but hates the sin... and Islam is a great sinning man made organization! Islam has killed and maimed more Muslims than the whole coalition of forces has that is currently embattled with it.

It's one of my pet peeves, but I cannot abide people using the verb "Pop".
Why can't they just say put (or go))?
Women use it much more than men, to my hearing.
-I'll just pop into this shop-Pop it into the oven! etc.
Yes I know I'm an old moan, but I do believe other people must share my gripe.

then I am not free to choose otherwise. Therefore my life is predetermined and I don't have free will. Either God is omnicient or I have free will... both can not be true. Right?

NOTE: If you say "knowing how you will choose is not the same as making someone choose that way" didn't understand the question.

I have been studying for awhile whether or not God is one, or three in one.
It is my conclusion that God is one God, not three in one. What is my rationale?

In the OT the FIRST commandment given by God was,
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD. (Deut 6:4)
I then looked at the New Testament, and read when Jesus Re-itereated this statement.
"And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord"
(Mark 12:29)

Moreover, I then looked up the word one in both Hebrew and Greek.

Hebrew: 'echad: one (number)
a) one (number)
b) each, every
c) a certain
d) an (indefinite article)
e) only, once, once for all

The Greek: emphatically,
(a) a single ("one"), to the exclusion of others, e.g., Mat 21:24; Rom 3:10; 1Cr 9:24; 1Ti 2:5 (twice);
(b) "one, alone," e.g., Mar 2:7, RV (AV, "only")

My question then is, why would Jesus say one to the exlusion of others, and not include himself?
لااله الا الله

I mean.. It's hard!
I was born in Algeria. (I'm muslim)
I went to the US at the age of 2 and I speak english very clearly with good punctuation and spelling since I stayed there till the age of 13 and went to school there.
BUT. I really have a problem. I mean, Ofcourse, I'm not going to drink or do any drugs, but then again I can't pray because I don't know Arabic! And I personally believe in both Jesus & Mohamad! Is this okay? Will god accept me as a good human?

This is part of the reason I am against interracial marriage, I dont want this beauty to die. Its not just about "skin color" as you all will probably chime right before reporting me. Also, to address that point, there are more differences then physical ones, I just happen to think blond hair and blue/green eyes are really cool and it would be sad if they were bred out of existence because of all of the propaganda that subliminally influences european women to hate european men...... :(

TO JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ELDERS: BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS ARE BIBLICALLY SUPPORTED: Acts 15:20 says abstain from blood but 1 Samuel 14:32-5 says Saul's army ate unBLED meat to not starve and no verses show God not forgiving them. Christ says God also forgave David's eating temple holy bread to survive and that God wants Mercy Not Sacrifice. (Mt 12) The May 22, 1994 Awake tells of 26 Jehovah's Witness kids who died without transfusions, and by common sense in massive bleeding as in car wrecks blood expanders won't save lives http://www.ajwrb.org. About 3 Jehovah's Witnesses die daily earthwide from the unscriptural policy! (Blood On The Altar by David Reed) Yet most normal identical twins transfuse whole blood to each other through a shared placenta and childrens' whole blood is sometimes found in mothers years after birth-- the approved arrangement by God using nature. The book of Acts is about not using blood in all senses and contexts but in the sense of not using it anymore than strangled meat for temple sacrifices -- not in regard to transfusions. Please share copies of this with others to help save more lives.

So why do women complain about men so much when they go for the "bad boy". You know what makes him a bad boy. He is mysterious, keeps secrets, is emotionaly distant, and often cheats. That makes him unobtainable and therfor desirable. You want what you can't have and when you get it you expect to keep it all for yourself when that is clearly not the nature of a "bad boy". It doesn't make sense. Why do you want someone that plays hard to get or someone that plays games period?
