Religion & Spirituality - 30 June 2006

I'm don't know if this has already been asked, but here is the link:

http://articles.news.aol.com/news/_a/has-noahs-ark-been-found/20060629173309990001?ncid=NWS00010000000001

And here is a portion of that article to entice you to read it:
Texas archaeologists believe they may have located the remains of Noah's Ark in Iran's Elburz mountain range.
I can't imagine what it could be if it is not the Ark," said Arch Bonnema of the Bible Archaeology Search and Exploration (B.A.S.E) Institute, a Christian archeology organization dedicated to looking for biblical artifacts.
Bonnema and the other B.A.S.E. Institute members hiked for seven hours in the mountains northwest of Tehran, climbing 13,000 feet before making the apparent discovery.
"We got up to this object, nestled in the side of a hill," said Robert Cornuke, a member of the B.A.S.E. Institute. "We found something that has my heart skipping a beat."
At first, they didn't dare to hope it was the biblical boat.
"It wasn't impressive at first," Cornuke said. "Certainly didn't think it to be Noah's Ark. But when we got close, we were amazed. It looked similar to wood."
In addition, some B.A.SE. members say, their discovery didn't look very distinctive.
"It looked like the deck of any boat today," Bonnema said.

This question is mainly open to Roman Catholics but I'll accept answers from other branches of catholism as well. What's the single most important, valuable, interesting and / or touching thing you've ever learned or heard during a priest's sermon besides the greatest message of all which is that God loves you? Do you usually gain any life changing, inspirational or heart warming insight from the sermon?

I've been a Roman Catholic my whole life and I haven't visited too many churches besides the one I always go to and I'm wondering if its only my church (as far as Roman Catholic churches are concerned) that goes out of its way to deliver really thought provoking and heart warming sermons.

If you can, quotes from key points of the sermon would be desireable.

Some people assert that a bible's ten commandments provide the foundation of contemporary Western law. If this is so, then where is the prohibition of marijuana/cannabis specifically written?
And compare: A koran does specifically prohibit the use of alcohol, but does not condemn marijuana/cannabis.

This morning I saw a man working on a live electrical box (one that is connected and has electricity). He was obviously a well educated electrician, and he was just doing his job.

I saw another man walking up to him, bothering the electrician with all sorts of questions and warnings. The electrician was obviously so distracted from his work, that a dangerous situation could occur.

Should i tell the man to stop bothering electricians? The electricians are obviously educated well enough to think and act for themselves, right?

Just to name one, the book Misquoteing Jesus talks about all the different wording in the New Testement, many of which change meaning. This is not the work of Satan this is someone who has researched copies of the New Testement that have been made over the last 2000 years and there are differences.

If these differences are the work of Satan, then how do I know the Bible that got sent to me in the mail last week also isn't from Satan?

Theres different interpretations of scripture, including the Jesus, within Christianity. How can one trust anything other than their own heart and intellect, which has led me to differnet interpretation of John 3:16 then you?

If we do remember them and someone really important to us didn't make it, how can we be in absolutely blissfully happy knowing that they are suffering the worst imaginable torment? And is it not sad to think that we might not remember them? I mean, they can't all make can they?

Alot of the time you may see people posting questions about angels, saints, devils and demons (when, according to their faith they should only be paying attention only to God)... Yet these same people readily denounce evolution?

I asked about the man this morning that was in danger of electrocution, but I did not say that I went to advise him. I debated a while before going, but I was so afraid that I would see a big spark and he would be dead. I walked over there, (30 yards) and tried to talk to him. They were putting another wire in a 110 wired box to make it into 220 and they were pulling the wire with a piece of coathanger past the meter which is all connected and live.
I tried to talk to him and he ignored me, I stayed a little while but they both just ignored me, so I finally went back and just watched at a distance. They managed to get it done, but it was very dangerous, but they did not want to hear.
The question is should Christians tell atheists about hell and eternal salvation even if they don't want to hear. People condemned me when they thought that I didn't say anything. I felt obligated to advise them even if they didn't want to hear..
Should Christians tell?? or just be quiet??
