Society & Culture - 23 December 2007

Ok this si'nt loaded but lately I've been thinking about this
Most religions do have some very bad points but I've noticed the roman catholic church seems almost evil
It is so rich but doesn't share
You pay to save your soul!
it has only recently stopped discriminating people like the jews
It supported Hitler!
it causes overpopulation

However to be fair it has helped ppl

This for all the people who give up a certain percentage of their income to a religious institute.

I'm curious if you got a bonus this year, do you tithe a percentage of that too. How about interest gained, inheritance, or winnings from lottery?

I just did a google search on Hindu, the oldest religion, and realized I didn't know anything about it.
How come its never really talked about?

We are very close to the discovery of "String Theory", if the idea of multiple universes becomes fact, would that have a negative affect on your religious beliefs. Personaly for me I would still believe in God. What are your thoughts.

I have heard that the people in the Kingdom of Judah were considered Jews, BUT could the people of the Kingdom of Isreal have been Jews also? Because they also were descendents of Jacob?

There had to of been a blood( genetic) connection obviously!

Think about it before you answer. Would you let your child go up in a plane built by engineers with blueprints, testing and all of that or would you rather they went up on a plane built by a preacher with lots of faith but no technical training...

Now I ask again, which is best faith or science?

I have to admit, I have a lot of respect for people on this site that can reasonably defend and state facts concerning their beliefs. Regardless of your faith (or lack thereof) I would like to know how far would you go to defend those convictions? Would you turn the proverbial cheek, or be willing to die for what you believe in?

A man returned home from the night shift and went straight up to the bedroom. He found his wife with the sheet pulled over her head, fast asleep. Not to be denied, the horny husband crawled under the sheet and proceeded to make love to her. Afterward, as he hurried downstairs for something to eat, he was startled to find breakfast on the table and his wife pouring coffee.

"How'd you get down her so fast?" he asked. "We were just making love!"

"Oh my God," his wife gasped, "That's my mother up there! She came over early and had complained of having a headache. I told her to lie down for awhile."

Rushing upstairs, the wife ran to the bedroom. "Mother, I can't believe this happened. Why didn't you say something?"

The mother-in-law huffed, "I haven't spoken to that jerk for fifteen years, and I wasn't about to start now!"

Christ was NAILED to the cross. The nails did NOT go into his palms. They went into his wrists...which were considered part of the hand in that time/place...as most people consider their ankle to be part of their foot even today. Nails through the wrists-between the Radius, and Ulna-DO support the weight of the body, without ripping through the arm.

I got out of an 11 year relationship about 3-4 months ago and then got into a rebound relationship shortly after. Well it wasn't a rebound for me but he broke up w/ me so I guess it turned out that way. I still miss him and want him back but he doesn't seem to want anything to do w/ me or at least for right now.
Anyhow... I am really AFRAID of being alone. I am 26 years old and havn't been alone... really.... ever.
I feel that this is happening to make me stronger but at the same time I really don't feel like I can handle it right now. I get severe panic & anxiety. I don't like to be alone. I don't have friends and little contact w/ family. My ex-bf of 11 years and I are keeping contact and are best friends and he is the only glue holding me together right now. Things just did not work out w/ us.
So... I understand WHY God is handing this to me right now but I honestly don't feel equipped to handle it and often hav thoughts of suicide.... will God hand me something I can't handle?

...that Jesus' mother upon learning that the Jews were seeking to kill her son took Jesus and fled to the safety of Egypt. Egypt is not a safe place for a Jew today. The fact is his mother took him to Eqypt because she was the pharoah of Egypt. That wouyld mean Jesus was safe bevause he was not a Jew and was allowed to live in the pharoahs palace.
Proof: The pharoah's palace is where a pharoah's son lives.

BEFORE READING, RELIGIOUS PEOPLE BELIEVE HEAVEN COULD BE ANYTHING. I AM USING LOGIC FROM EARTH, yes i might never apply

Isn't good a offset of bad. Don't the other exist because of the other? To appreciate the good, and respect it don't you have to know about the bad. And if the people in heaven did know about hell. well loved ones would be greived, and fear would be created. Because without imagination, we are not human. And with my assumption with good, must be bad. and with the knowledge of hell and greif and imagination, naturally I find heaven is unprotected from fear, a tool of the devil, am i correct?
I am a decient knowledge of bible, through several years of churching and bible camp, I like enteraining the idea, but struggle with logical constraits as such.
THIS IS A PONDER, PLEASE DON"T BE OFFEND or HOSTILE.

The Bible is our guiding light.

What if we find on the day of judgement that the Bible was changed and manipulated by the Devil?
Are we then doomed to hell because of our mistaken faith?
Will our faith in Jesus be enough to save us?

And if it is our faith in Jesus saves us - do we need to give so much importance to the Bible?
