Religion & Spirituality - 14 June 2006

I live, i change, i develop myself into a better human being on a daily basis. I make errors and learn from them. It makes me grow into a better person. Worshipping myself is the greatest thing i can do.

I could also choose to worship a God that doesn't change, is always the same, and never fails. How boring is that ?

i'm of course referring to this ridiculous question:

I have read in history that the first war ever between prophet Muhammed and infidels (called Badr) was initiated by Muhammed's attempt to raid a caravan owned by Koraish (the infidels) and therefore Koraish had to defend their caravan.

Does not this clearly show that the infidels had nothing to do with Muhammed until he raided their caravan?
Can this be described as self-defence?

Sharing is Caring...Jesus is Alive!?
I would like to share my story with any Christian or non-Christian who is still struggling and faith is not all together there.

I hold G-- to the highest, and to lie would be not only against what I believe, but against G--'s laws. Nothing here is a lie, although it might seem like it. This is the reason I type this. G-- bless you all.

I am 30 years old. I am a mathematics teacher. Since the day I was born I was Catholic. I never practiced it, and Catholic was simply a family label. I considered myself Atheist for 30 years until that day in March, I believe. I was painting my Mom's house. The face of Jesus appeared before my Mom and I. She asked me, "what does this look like to you?" But, before she finished the question I KNEW IT WAS HIM. The long hair, the beard, mustash, garments. Similar to the "Jesus" from "passion of the christ," except the eyes. Those eyes cannot be described. They translated into love, love, and love. If I had to describe them, I would say that the closest to that has been Mother Teresa's eyes. Not to take anything from her, but still, only close.
I thought that had changed me, but it didn't. It did start me off though. But, now as I researched and spent countless hours learning more about him, I started hating Jews and easily angered at anyone who spoke against Jesus. It had actually made me a worse person.
As I stuggled one morning with Currency Trading, he appeared again on the cabinet drawers of my room. He faded and came back over and over until He appeared very clear and said to me: WHY DO YOU WORRY ABOUT THINGS FROM THIS WORLD?" I think he said it two or three times. I started crying, as am right now. This was the first time that Faith came into my heart.
My life started changing, slowly. Same struggles, but different attitude and determination. I prayed day and night and went to Church. But, the real test, is the acts. "YOU WILL BE JUDGED ACCORDING TO YOUR WORKS" is one of my favorites.
In one of the Churches he said to me: "YOU ARE MARKED WITH MY BLOOD." I told my Mom and tried to make sense of it.
The last thing that he told me was: "I AM NOT YOUR FATHER. I AM YOUR BROTHER. THE SON DOES NOT EXIST WITHOUT THE FATHER, BUT WITHOUT THE SON THE FATHER IS ALWAYS."
At moments I wonder if it was all just in my imagination. This is the mistake that I keep making for this is where my Faith is tested.
No matter what, I am a better person for it. I love G-- with all my heart now, and I could never go back. Nothing in this world could ever shake or disturb my Faith. Finding G-- will always be a win-win situation. Now, I live everyday to make G-- proud of me and in the process I fulfill my obligations as human and husband.
I know that I should be doing more for G--'s glory. I am shy, but will soon find the strength and power to glorify him more and more. I am still in my learning stages, but live everyday to follow Jesus Christ's footsteps.
"pourdawg" could not be altogether wrong. But, what I know for certain is that if we are all lost souls, then we need to find G-- so that we can find ourselves in H--
"marty" tells you not to rely on feelings for that is wrong. I say to you, the problem I always made was that I thought too much and searched for contradictions here and there so that I could justify myself. But, if you think with your heart the truth will always ccome to you.

~ADIOS~

I am not here to tell you to quit your religion for they all share the great love that Jesus proclaimed. Be just, compassionate, humble and love G-- with all your heart. Share his glory by doing and not saying. ~ADIOS~

My goal now is simply to share this over and over again. I know G-- will guide me to my next step. I will keep anyone who want posted. I feel so Alive!!! Yes, even in the worst of times.

After reading these questions and answers for several days, I have come to the conclusion that the intellectual capacity of most of the people participating here would be challenged reading a comic book. Why are most of you here, is it just for shock value? Why would anyone go out of his way to insult the Creator of the universe? Those of you here who are Bible believing Christians, God bless you, we need more of you here. But those of you here who give flippant, blasphemous questions and answers, my question to you is why? To my brother's and sister's in Christ, we have the opportunity here to spread the Good Word. Why not use that opportunity in well thought out, coherant statements?

Why are many religious people so concerned about making other people subject to their beliefs, values, laws? Why do they care if people buy alcohol on Sunday, or if two gays get married, or if multipe religions are taught in school? Can't they live their own lives the way they want to and let other people do what they want to do?! Whats their motivation of trying to force others to live like them?

why are some people enrolling in very fundamentalists and exterme religious movements such as scientology, islam, hare krishna, bagawan sects and even mormonism?
This is the answer that i got from a well educated person,

we inhabit a world where science and new knowledge has wiped out practically all our ancient religious beliefs, and some weak people just cant accept this fact. They have reached the point of hysteria and as a result think that when they join some extreme religious movement that it would in some way give them hope. but its falls hope. fundamentalists dont have to think.
we need to understand god in this modern world as a modern deity and let go of the old one.
this answer to me makes a lot of sense, dont you think so?

The other day my son used his left hand to make the sign of the cross. I corrected him and told him to use his right hand. He asked me was it because Jesus was right handed? I did not know why we use our right hand instead of the left hand.

i have real problem with judging people. i get i from my friends. its not harsh judging but things like 'i cant believe she going out with him cus he does look...' 'why does her hair look like that'

no matter what we start talking about it always turns to judging and i know better but cant help it. i know what Jesus says about judging. does any one have any advice on how i can focus more on positve things and not critisize or judge others.

I mean come on just look around you there is no proof of god so he doesn't exist! So they just try to make up some proof which can very easily be disproved. Then they have the nerve to try and say evolution and the big band aren't real!! What planet are they on? The planet Stupid?

When he had said those things, I saw him seemingly being seized by them. And I said "What do I see, O Lord? That it is you yourself whom they take, and that you are grasping me? Or who is this one, glad and laughing on the tree? And is it another one whose feet and hands they are striking?"
The Savior said to me, "He whom you saw on the tree, glad and laughing, this is the living Jesus. But this one into whose hands and feet they drive the nails is his fleshly part, which is the substitute being put to shame, the one who came into being in his likeness. But look at him and me."

Give me your opinions please?
