There is reasonable religious AND scientific evidence for some big change that is supposed to happen on 2012.
Christians have the Bible's revelations, the hindis have the end of the vedic calendar and the beginning of the satya-yuga, the mayans have the end of their calendar, Toaists speak of another great change occuring, etc. . .
Science has the theory that the sun aligns with the center of the solar system or something like that. It only happens approximately every 26,000 years, and there are supposed to be massive solar flares or something.
Science and religion have the theory that the rate of change is happening so fast and exponentially that 2012 is when it comes to a head everything is supposed to happen at once and time itself stops. Science and religion explain this theory in their respective ways.
Albert Einstein said something like "If time didn't exist everything would happen all at once".
2012? bologny or true revelation?

...you go to Hell? Automatically? That seems rather harsh and judgmental. What do you have to say?

1. I believe in God because when you think about the fact that we still follow our inate sense of morals even though we have the freedom of free will.
2.Free will its self, the ability to make choices that no other animal has been blessed or evolved to this level.
3. Science, yes I am not an uneducated boob, I really believe that the creation of such laws, an earth, such a thing that hangs in such a delicate balance leads me to believe its more than luck.
4. Evolution, omg I don't believe in creationsim am I starting to shatter your sterotypes? Yes the evidence seems to show that each evolutionary step is carefully selected by nature and once agian it leads me to believe its more than luck.
Those are a few of my reasons tell me what you want about it and present your arguments; I'd like to hear them.

I'm looking specifically for a Bible Study that will help me feel my commitment to my husband again. I would prefer if it was an actual book that I could order but I would be willing to do an online Bible study as well. Thanks

8 hours ago, I asked for a definition of "Spiritual" or "Spirituality."
I received 5 answers, and some sounded re-worded from a different source.
I would like you to tell me in your own words from your own mind, what is YOUR definition of either or both of those words.
I put this up again for (assuming) others to read and hopefully answer. Thanks.

she's a really sweet girl and i like her alot, but, at Thanksgiving she sat down at the table by herself before all of the food was ready and just started eating! i didn't say anything because i didn't want to embarrass her in front of the other guests, but i thought it was really rude. she's 20 yrs. old and was raised in a very disfunctional home, where table manners were not important, so maybe she just doesn't know any better, but, it's important to me, especially because i worked very hard to make everything really nice. should i say anything or just let it slide?

Do you think most Christians are saved or damned?

Mt 15:9-they worship Jesus, but they are not saved
Lk 11:39-on the outside they look righteous and holy
Lk 11:42-they tithe on everything
Lk 11:43-they sit in important places; people greet them
Lk 11:44-they do not appear to be unsaved;
men are not aware that they are unsaved;
men come to them;
they appear to be something they are not
Lk 11:45-they call Jesus, "Master";
they believe they are saved
Lk 11:52-they have a form of Bible knowledge, yet are not saved
Ro 10:2-they have zeal for God
Lk 13:24-they seek to enter heaven
Lk 13:25-they knock at God’s door;
they pray and call upon the name of the Lord
Lk 18:9-they trusted in themselves that they were righteous
Lk 18:11-they pray long prayers (Lk 20:47);
they give thanks to God;
outwardly, they appear to be sinless
1 Jn 2:9-they say they are in the light, yet are not saved

wouldnt it be worth the 5 minutes and 15 bucks to become an ordained priest on the internet, so if the world ever became invaded by vampires, you could vanquish them just by peeing on them.

Hello, all:

I was told that the first Christmas after my mother died would be the hardest. I didn't realize that this meant that things would start getting really rough around the 10th of December. :-(

I'm having a very hard time with memories cropping up while I'm trying to work; I find myself crying at odd moments. Does anyone have any spiritually (or generally) uplifting thoughts and/or quotes that they'd like to share that might help me get through this rough patch? When someone close to you has died, how do you cope with sudden waves of grief?

I'm Wiccan myself, so Pagan input would be in keeping with my religion, but anyone is welcome to offer any words of comfort they think might be helpful.

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to respond.

I had a really bad week.
On Monday, I got kicked out of hebrew school. It was a long time coming. My Rabbi, teacher, and principal all ganged up on me and told me (and some friends) to never come back. I thought this was a little harsh.
On tuesday, I found out i was failing Spanish Class.
On wendsay, I severly pissed off my spanish teacher. I pissed him off enough to give me afterschool detention. I told my father to pick me up at the local coffee house, because I didn't want to tell him. He says I lied.
On thursday, I failed to report to detetion because I couldnt find my teacher. I walked around the school for like 20 minutes, and couldnt find him. Finnally, I saw my math teacher, and he told me to just go home, so I did.
On friday, my parents, my divorced parents who hate eachother, and dread the very thought of being in the same room, three-way call me, and tag-team yell at me.
On top of all this, I think im having a Jewish identity crisis. Am I really a bad kid or Jew?

How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God ?
