Religion & Spirituality - 22 July 2006

No matter how hard you try you never make a dent.......They are a one track mind that will never listen to any reason, and are setting back science in the classroom and in the medical field. Why is bush you shepherd and not Jesus



Bush is my shepherd; I dwell in want.
He maketh logs to be cut down in national forests.
He leadeth trucks into the still wilderness.
He restoreth my fears.
He leadeth me in the paths of international disgrace
for his ego's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of pollution and
war, I will find no exit, for thou art in office.
Thy lies and thy wars they comfort me all the days of my life.
Thou preparest an agenda of deception, in the presence
of thy religion.
Thou anointest my head with foreign oil.
My health insurance runneth out.
Surely megalomania and false patriotism shall follow
me all the days of thy term.
And my jobless child shall dwell in my basement forever

When I was a Christian we believed that we and God's kingdom were not of this world. We believed in rendering unto Caesar what was Caesar's and unto God what was God's. We preached daily on the streets to save the lost because we Knew Jesus was coming soon and the time was short. We fed street people and held FREE Jesus Rock Concerts. It wasn't about the money back then. I know that was 20 years ago, but I don't even recognize today's materialistic power hungry church as the same one we had and that ACTS talks about. It's like the church is turning into the Roman Catholicism all over again. Will we have to have another Reformation in a few hundred years to get back to basics?

Ive been going through a lot. I havnt met such good guys, all they did was hurt me. I found out my boyfriend of 3 years has been cheating behind my back. He was never like this, he was a Christian, but since hes been hanging with Non Christians, hes strayed. He has a dirty mouth now, and says he used me for sex, but the thing is he never got it, cause Im waiting for marriage. I have such negative thoughts now when i see men. when i see them, i think, "hes not a virgin." "he cares about sex in a bad way." and so on. I have never thought like this, but I feel like all men care about sex as something used, not beautiful when married.I never was tempted in the Area of Sex. I am just not confident in this area, i feel like all men arent pure and care about sex.

Will some believers/christians help me with this, as in verses/scriptures. I dont want any mean or wise comments, I want nice ones, ive been through alot. I need help to fight the negative thoughts towards men, HOPE i need.thx

And if you say Sola Scriptura, please explain to me how 'Scripture' and denomational translation of the Bible is distinguishable from tradition. Afterall, the cannon was established the same as the other traditions in the Catholic church in the early centuries CE.

The farther away from the source the more distorted the message.
The game is usualy played in a group, one person says something like peter piper pick a peck of peppers, or something like that and whisper it into the ear of the person next to them and that persons repeats what they think they heard to the next and so on. It usually ends up something like "purple monkey dishwasher" or some nosense like that.
anyhow on to my question, although most of you will not read this far, do you think something has been lost in translation with the bible?

For anyone who has read the Da Vinci Code and hated it because of the way it portrayed Jesus:

Supposing that the book is 100% factual, how does the message of Jesus change? Does Jesus being married and having children change his ultimate message or the message of Christianity in general.

Serious answers only please. Only people that have read the book or seen the movie please.

I dont get how you can claim to be exclusive from everyone else. Sounds a bit pompous to me. That would be like you saying " I and only I have the cure for HIV NOOO one else" when just across the room a guy has the same cure, but in your own mind you are the ONLY one with the cure. You would be considered a fool and a crazy person because everyone else can see someone else has the SAME thing you do but doesn’t claim it as their own. so how can you go around saying JESUS is the ONLY way. For all you know that guy never was around. And where i live all you see is Christians saying its only him its only him...you never see a Muslim or anyone else do that. So please STOP thumping because not everyone wants to hear lies like you have been fed.

hello, I am a man getting rid of my impure acts and thoughts, and I am succeeding to become pure. Is there men that completly ignore temptation, and don't dwell on sex as a tool, or have dirty thoughts. Is there men that think Sex is for marriage, and that they can wait, and that when their married it will be beautiful? I would love to know from a christian man.

why do christians hate gays? i grew up in a baptist home. I love and respect God but Im gay. I know that homosexuality is a sin and im ok with that. God knows no one is perfect. But other christians are another story...i see all the time, "your going to hell because you're queer" "god hates gays" and all I can say is "what hypocrites you are" You pick and choose which of the rights and laws God has written to what fits you. You raz on gays but are you not breaking one of the commandments? Thou shalt now judge!? I may be sinning but your breaking a commandment!! I guess im gonna see you in hell right alongside of me. : )

Is God's forgiveness for all, or for some? Is God's forgiveness contingent upon our own actions, or bestowed as a free gift to all?

For all here, what is your favorite (or top favorites) quote(s) with regards to your beliefs? What resonates with you, where you read it and go, "Yes, that's what it's about?" Whether it's a passage from your faith's Holy Book, a quote from philosophy, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, the Rede, Liber AL, the Satanic Bible, Einstein's Theory of Relativity, something from Origin of the Species, etc. etc. etc.?

I'm truly curious as to what folks will choose, it should be interesting and revealing. I'll add mine later.

Do you think this Spell stuff is really a chick thing?

You see, I picture women doing the spell stuff and guys doing alchemy,
like tinkering with chemicals and machinery which is what guys do anyways.
Maybe thats sexist?

Did you know that Sr. Isaac Newton was an alchemist?
When ever I see something about Alchemy, Its always a guy

this is not realy a source, but just an intersting site on Neton.

I wonder why God granted Einstein the genius mind to create E=MC*-I wonder why Dr. Livingston lived with the diseases he did to create cures among the people that did not believe in Christ and yet he saved them to live uponj this earth-I really don't wonder I know that no matter if all the christians in the world came together in one fantastic moment of glory and prayed that God wipe out Aids-that it would not go away until a realist-who dedicated himself to his studies and sacrificed hours upon hours of his time working with the sick and dying was able to alienate the cause and find the cure much like Vaccines have done for those of us here in America and education has done to keep us healthy-and yet you religious types will hang a vindictive title upon me that was created to cause discention and discrimination so that one being considered A or A would be cast out. Your religion is wicked in its own right and you support a God that admittedly "HAS HIS CHOSEN CHILDREN" prejudiced basta

So here it is: my husband and I are in a financial mess these days, as I am sure many of you are. More importanty, a very good friend of ours is currently battling cancer as a single father. I myself am being finally forced to trust completely in God as I should have been doing all along(lean not on my own understanding).

So I would like to ask for your prayers for my friend and my family, and I would also like to extend myself to you, if there is any request you would have me pray for. If I get reported or suspended, so be it; I just thought I'd give it a whirl.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundand through Christ."

- 2 Corinthians 1:3-5

God Bless!!

What are the conditions set aside(if any) that are required in becoming a Messenger for God?
Would a prophet need to have been of the same belief/religion beforehand?
What would happen if they took the job?
What would happen if they refused the job?
