Society & Culture - 5 November 2007

There are so many religions in the world today. I'm just wondering what you believe in and a short explanation as to why you believe that. I'm open to everything, so don't be afraid of offending me :)

Here in the US at least there are censorship laws that regulate the showing of nudity in the media. Wouldn't nudity perhaps be less taboo and less titillating if children were regularly exposed to it from an early age? Of course, many associate nudity with sexuality, but it doesn't have to be that way. After all, people do all sorts of other things (sleeping, showering, etc.) in the nude.

How are we saved or justified with God? Is it by a mere legal act by which God declares the sinner to be meriting heaven even though he remains in fact unjust and sinful?

Is it a real eradication of sin, or just a covering or non-imputation? Is it an inner renewal and a real sanctification or only an external application of Christ’s righteousness?

Please state your church and teaching.

I feel that we are not honest with our selves when we hide in our styles.

First off I don't mean to sound ignorant. I'm not sure if baptism is the right word for this religion but I've been invited to one by a good friend. I'm not religious and haven't been to a church service in about 10 years so I have no idea what to expect. I know there is a lot of standing and sitting and making cross's with my hand on my forehead and chest (or am I thinking of a different religion). I want to try my best out of respect so can some one give me a play by play of what happens.

Also what kind of gifts do people normally give at a baptism?

I have not watched TBN in several years. I was watching today and saw Pastor Paul Crouch looking a bit fragile. Does anyone know how he is doing health wise? How about his wife, Pastor Jan. Thanks!

I mean God is what He is, right? If He describes Himself the way He does in the Bible, He can't also be like the descriptions of Shiva. He can't simultaneously be satan's brother/created (like in Mormon theology) and having no beginning and no end like in the Bible. Outside of outright polytheism, how can something like this be a logical statement?

Either grass is green or it isn't. It isn't made green because you believe it is. So I'm curious, lay out for me what the logical argument would be for 'all paths lead to the same place' or 'just find what works for you'?

Before anyone asks...No, I didn't do anything so awful.

This was a very thought-provoking question that we recently brought up with our Rabbi at a Torah study, and it brought out some very interesting answers, so I thought I would see what the Yahoo Answers audience has to say.

Although this was brought up in a Jewish context, please comment from your own religious (or non-religious, as the case may be) point of view.

This certainly begs the follow-up question...could there be ex-murderers in heaven?

Thanks! d=)
