Religion & Spirituality - 10 June 2006

I'm a Christian, and there are approximately 5 - 6 different denominations located in my general area. However, I know there are alot more that "classify themselves" as "Christian"....

I say "classify themselves" because some that call themselves Christians aren't.

Anyway, help me brainstorm --- Tell me the names of the various 'Christian denominations' you can think of: Let's see how many we can come up with...

There's Roman Catholic, Anglican (Church of England), Methodist, Pentecostal, Salvation Army, Baptist, Lutheran, United...

Isn't it about time we gave in to the bible thumpers and just admit they were right all along. I mean folks it so obvious ! Of course the universe is only 6000 years old, in fairness it says so in the bible so it must be true. There is so much evidence creation and nothing for evolution. How silly we are with all our logic and empirical research. We should just shut up and believe what we are told. From now on I'm going to stop thinking for myself and and just believe what the bible thumpers tell me. After all I don't want to end up in hell. So atheists, join me ! I've seen the light !!

You are not saved just because you accepted Jesus as your savior. Jesus did not save us on the cross, but redeemed us so when can have a chance to be saved. We have to to earn the grace of God. We will only know if we are saved after death.

You cannot be saved if you continue commiting serious sin. The Bible does not teach "once saved always saved." :

Romans 6:15-16 says that sin leads to death

Matthew 5:27-30 Jesus does not discharge us from the moral law! There is consequence for sinning!

Matthew 10:22 "You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved."

Hebrews 12:1 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us."

If it was to the father, then the father and Jesus are not one, since one is worshipping the other, in other words, Jesus is the father's slave, since Only Slaves Worship and pray to God, don't you agree?

Afterall, 700 years ago people believed that the world was flat and any other belief was blasphemy period.I have not found where it says the world is flat in the Bible, but that is what they believed and any science that would prove otherwise was blasphemy.

In fact, most science then was considered sorcery and witchcraft and anyone found practicing science could be found guilty of such things and burned at the stake.Back then you did not question the church!

Why now is there a similiar problem with some on accepting at least some of the science involving evolution?Why are there those who refuse to educate themselves on biology, chemistry, carbon dating, geology, astrology, and all the other scientific and all the other evidential proof before making assumptions that suggest that science is wrong?

Just like when the world was believed to be flat, this is the same kind of argument.So where in the Bible does it say science is wrong?

evidence he had it was a vital step in human evolution as people where now wondering about the universe and our massive curiosity which separates us from most other animals, was born. The next step now that we face in human evolution is to abandon religion and concentrate what we know to be true and can prove with evidence and not to be held back by the fear of upsetting a god. So are you going to realise the truth and move onto the next step of human evolution or are you just going to be out competed and die off like the theists. It's survival of the fittest and we have the advantage as we have the facts so the time has come evolve and realise the truth or will you die off with the theists holding on to unprovable ridiculous beliefs in a world of facts?

We all live in sin. Yes? But we can be saved. I've heard over and over again that being gay is a sin. And gay's will go to hell. What about people who have commmited adultery? What about people who have lied? All of us has sinned and all of us have broken one of the 10 Commandments (don't even try to argue that you haven't).Adultery is a sin. Apparently being gay is a sin. If gays are going to hell, is wrong to assume that all adulterers and liars are going to hell along with anyone who has ever disobeyed there parents? If being gay is a "constant sin" than why isn't adultery. Or lying? Or watching television?

If an ant doesn't understand the universe, we say no wonder, it's just an ant. If a cow doesn't udderstand the universe, we say no wonder it's just a cow. If a Christian doesn't understand the universe, he is amazed and says that there must be a god, and that explains everything. Why can't he just realise that we are not very important creatures who don't understand much at all?

Every religious text must be interpreted by a humans. If God exists and there is an afterlife, only then can anyone be sure if he wrote any of the books and what his meaning was in the book.

Every religion has violent followers but not every religion has people who do violence from an interpretative belief that their religion requires them to do violence.

Today only Islam has example of people murdering as a direct consequence of a violent interrpretation of the Quran. We are all familiar with terrorist claims of authority to murder from various citations in the Quran but it you can also see the clear linkage by noting how much violence muslims do while yelling praises to their God (Alluah Akbar!!! booom).

I think it is just plain rude.

I don't go around telling people they believe in the wrong thing. So, they shouldn't try to force their beliefs on other people. I respect other people's right to believe in what they choose to believe.

So, why can't they do the same?

I'm not talking about everyone...just some people.

A book World Religions made Easy by Henderson Publishers makes reference that Muslims may outnumber Christians by the year 2010. What makes this religion appealing to people? Just curious. Since they have a Religion section on Yahoo questions this is the right place to ask.

The accident of destroying Sodom is known in the history.It,s mentioned in Koran at least.Koran said about them:When we ordered,we made it,s upside downside,and we sent rains of very hard stones.It,s marked by God ,and it,s not far from oppressors.Oppressors here means who do not follow teachings of God.Koran:11-82,83.Gays exist in other countries,but more than50% of US Lawmakers opposed ban of gay marriage .No other countries legalized that marriage.
