Religion & Spirituality - 19 June 2006

Long through my life I've been interested in what you might call mythology of all religions. Ancient Greek, Shinto, Christian, what have you.
I--as anyone else--have come across names such as Satan, Lucifer, Belial, Leviathan, and many other names that according to some sources are all identifiable with the same character in Judeo-Christian dogma. I've also come across some sources who claim they are all very different characters. The latter sources, however, have always refrained from explaining the differences.
My question, could someone please explain to me the difference between Satan and Lucifer? And if you're familiar with the other names (as well as any i haven't named) would you please explain them too?

I'm reading the Da Vinci Code currently. Yet for some reason, I feel guilty about it. Is it a sin?

check out this link to a fundamentalist site. Wow, and I thought McDonalds was bad. These wackos are trying to get kids to believe dinosaurs are still alive today to disprove those nasty evolutionists.

Matthew and Mark say that the last words of Christ were, in Hebrew, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" This has traditionally been translated as, "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" However, a more accurate translation would be, "My El, My El, why has thou forsaken me?" El is the name of a specific pagan god. Why would Jesus call out to a pagan god at the moment of his death?
If it was foretold that Jesus was to be crucified, and if he knew this, and if he was the son of God, why did he do everything he could to avoid being crucified? (See, for instance, Matthew 26:39).
If Judas was willing to go to Hell for humanity (see #31), didn't he make more of a sacrifice than Jesus, who spent only three hours in pain? Shouldn't you then be worshipping Judas?
If God had wanted to save us, couldn’t He have done that without sacrificing Jesus?

In the bible,God had a chosen people-The Israelites,so whatever the Gentiles did it wouldn't really matter because He had His heart set on the Israelites.Saying that - Is man pre-destined? Does God know who is going to be saved? Can He not save those who are not His favorites but are good enough and wants to be saved? Does He really play favoritism?

For people who are believers/christians. From what the bible says...do you think its coming to the end of the days. When christ returns?

look at this

(2 Timothy 3:1-7) 3 But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. 6 For from these arise those men who slyly work their way into households and lead as their captives weak women loaded down with sins, led by various desires, 7 always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth.
