the ten commandments say thou shalt not kill, but God said also help lead His people into and through wars with others as well. i had this question come up at a bible study and am still confused about the answer.

For example, Islam's emphasis on pilgrimage to Mecca as one of the five pillars of Islam make it unwieldly for Muslims on distant planets as does the need to pray toward Mecca. You'd need to build your mosques on other planets on giant turntables.

If we are limited to sublight speeds, eventually Catholism will have problems, as the fringes of human colonization get farther and farther away from the Pope.

How will Neo-Paganism do on other worlds? Judaism? Buddhism? Protestantism?

That there are people who can contact beings of a different frequency and get direction into manifesting their creations? That the responsibilty that would come from that knowledge would be very intense. Does this responsibility frighten people? Would stray thoughts become dangerous at higher levels of this truth? Do people understand this concept and contact beings of a negative nature? Why would they do so? Was prayer a watered down version of this concept? Is this a way to contact other life in this universe? Are we the vehicles for inter-planetery travel? Is the beginning of time(?) a circle with a hint of imperfection that was supposed to cause our curiosity to form? Does music change some sort of frequency inside us to synchronize with the artist? Do shared experiences bring freindships to levels of like vibrations? Is our cells in our bodies like friends to us? Are WE the one song that is talked about in the bible? I've been told of what I am capable of, but I need like minds.

It says no where in the bible that michael the archangel became Jesus! Where'd they get that from?! And Jesus wasnt created, he is almighty god! Dont give me any quotes from the JW version, that perverts the gospel and attacks christ, saying that hes "a god". He is THE GOD! Praise Jesus Christ!!!!!!!

When does a person get a soul?
Do other living beings have a soul? How about non-living material?

I am not a religous man, I am not offended by anyone's beliefs. But why do I see all of these people disrespecting Christians for their views on here. Christians do not declare "Jihads" (holy wars) or kill in the name of their God. So, why the attacks on people of Christian faith. If Atheists do not believe in a higher power and want to persecute religion, why not attack Muslims who kill many innocent people everyday with suicide bombings and other means?

How do you know this? Is there a "bible Mark 3" or "bible bibliography" or something that the rest of the planet doesn't know about?

How can christians be so arrogant as to say the word of god is not really meant that way? Who gives you this authority?

Most of you claimed souls don't really exists, but how do you explain to me evil possessions, exorcisms?

Even Wiccans believe in spirits. Props to them.

How do you explain to me the people who have been in Satanic Churches who see demons and spirits?

Also Spiritualists (Espiritistas) and Mediums the ones who contact the spirits of dead people.

I am not Wiccan nor Spiritualist and believe that they DO contact spirits, demons, souls and I don't agree with their believes.

There are also other beliefs that believe in good spirits, evil spirits, souls.

What do you think about that?

Looking at the common sense side of view. In Jesus day or even unto the last 40 to 50 years, most people that are comatose would have died anyway. We put tubes in their arms and feed them to keep them alive when in fact they would have gone to see the Lord long before. It is our technology that merely keeps the body (a mere shell that houses the soul) Alive. Again, in Jesus day all the way up to the last 45 to 50 years they would have died anyway. Was it a sin or an injustice to put them on a machine?

Another Christian scientist said, "Creationism is an incredible pain in the neck, neither honest nor useful, and the people who advocate it have no idea how much damage they are doing to the credibility of belief." [quoted in Easterbrook, 1997, p. 891]
