Religion & Spirituality - 3 July 2006

We sang that song during worship yesterday, but I didn't feel like we were worshipping. To me, worship is proclaiming God's greatness not saying "I want" again and again. What do you think?

I ask this to see if people really know God or just believe that He is. Just looking for responses.
There is a difference. Do you believe in Him to the total dependency on Him or do you accept for what you read about Him?

is it ok for you to punish them to death? Well maybe if you are a Xtian!

t gets worse. Parents could legally kill stubborn and rebellious children, as well as children who merely cursed, disrespected or disobeyed them. (Exodus 21:17; Deuteronomy 21:18-21; Leviticus 20:9.)

Exodus 21:17 (New International Version)

17 "Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.

Should he be put to death? The Bible tells me so...

God ordered the death penalty for anyone engaged in homosexual acts. It also used ridiculing or hate language to describe homosexuality, including "perversion," "indecent," "unnatural" and "detestable." (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:26,27,32.) God also prohibited people from wearing clothes of the opposite sex, saying that the Lord "detests anyone who does this." (Deuteronomy 22:5.)

how many of you can say that? whether your tastes run from christian to buddhism to evolution, or even aliens. i'm not questioning anyone's beliefs. i consider myself pagan, but i can also admit that i might not be right in what i believe. we might all be way off. i'm curious to see who is open-minded(please list your religion as well). or are you so rigid in your choices that you'd rather fight?

do you think as a society we are becoming more open to different religions?
and
how many of you believe religion will contribute to the downfall of humanity?

ps-no screeching and no preaching.

My husband is an abusive alcoholic with no plans for change. What do I do??? I know that the Bible says there are 3 acceptable reasons for divorce:


The first reason is obvious—death of one of the individuals in the marriage. See Romans chapter 7, verse 2 (Romans 7:2).
The second reason is adultery or immorality on the part of one of the individuals (Matthew 5:31,32 19:9, and so forth).
The third reason appears in First Corinthians 7:12-16. Here Paul states that “if the unbeliever departs” the Christian is not “under bondage.”

As with all dictatorships, law and order in the Bible were indefensibly harsh. The Bible authorized that all the following people should be put to death:

* A rebellious and disrespectful son, or anyone who curses their parents. (Deuteronomy 21:18-21; Leviticus 20:9.)
* A bride who cannot prove that she is a virgin on her wedding night. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21)
* An adulterous wife and her lover (but not an adulterous husband). (Deuteronomy 22:22)
* Two lovers, if the woman was a virgin promised to be another man's wife. (Deuteronomy 22:23,24)
* A fighting man who accidentally kills a pregnant woman. (Exodus 21:22-24)
* Any Israelite who sells a fellow Israelite into slavery. (Deuteronomy 24:7)
* Sabbath-breakers (in this case, one collecting firewood on the Sabbath). (Numbers 15:32-36)
* Witches and spiritists. (Leviticus 20:27)
* Blasphemers of God. (Leviticus 24:16)
* Worshippers of other gods. (Deuteronomy 13:6-11)

And don't give those stupid arguments that men will rape them. They will soon get used to the sight. And don't claim you need clothes to be sexy. You can still put clothes back on when you want to appear sexy. Men and women deserve equal rights!!!!

The bible tells me so...

In the Old Testament: The Fourth Commandment itself acknowledges that people may own "manservants" and "maidservants." (Exodus 20:10.) Other laws state: "The slave is [the master's] property." (Exodus 21:20,21.) "If you buy a Hebrew servant..." (Exodus 21:2.)

In the New Testament: Paul commanded: "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear." (Ephesians 6:5, a command repeated in 1 Timothy 6:1, Colossians 3:22, Titus 2:9, and 1 Peter 2:18,21.) Remember that Paul lived under the Roman Empire, whose slave system was one of the most terrible in history.

In the Gospels: Even Jesus used the master/slave analogy to describe God’s relationship to his followers. He went so far as to compare God to a master rightfully beating and torturing his disobedient slaves. (Matthew 18:23-35, Matthew 24:50-51, Luke 12:47). This is not the language of someone who opposes slavery as a great evil.

why is the bible so full of hatred to women? Are all women going to hell?

The Bible’s treatment of women was abominable. Women not only had a submissive and inferior status to men, but they were considered chattel. (Genesis 3:16, Exodus 21:7-11, Numbers 30.) God set the monetary value of women at 50 to 66 percent of that of men. (Leviticus 27:3-7.) Women were to learn quietly and submissively from men, and were never to teach men or have authority over them. (1 Timothy 2:11,12.)

Double standards abounded. A wife found guilty of adultery was to be killed along with her lover. (Deuteronomy 22:22.) But, hypocritically, no law prevented a married man from carrying on with as many affairs as he pleased, as long as they were not with other men's wives. Likewise, prostitution was illegal for Jewish women. (Deuteronomy 23:17.) But there was no law forbidding foreign women to be prostitutes in Israel, or for Jewish men to frequent them — which was a common practice.

The apostle Paul said that Christians should let "the Mind of Christ be reflected in us" (you). So, when someone posts a question about evolution, or another religion, or homosexuality, why do christians tear those people apart. I read their posts, and the posts are full of RAGE and HATRED for anyone who doesn't believe exactly the same as they do. I call you people the "Ned Flanders uber-christians" because that's what you come off as. Now, I know not all christians do this, and I've seen some very good posts as evidence, so I don't want people to think I'm generalizing about Christians.

As Mahatma Ghandi said, "I like their Christ, but not their Christian."
