Religion & Spirituality - 29 July 2006

I was just wondering that if the events in the New Testament concerning people accepting/refusing the mark of the beast does come to pass, and even though I am Pagan, refuse that mark because I know that it is evil and wrong, will I be accepted into the christian "heaven" or still face the purgatory that christians say we are headed to anyway?

( I do not mean no offense, this is a serious question)

`Uzair (Ezra) lived during the period around 450 B.C. The Jews regarded him with great reverence as the revivalist of their Scriptures which had been lost during their captivity in Babylon after the death of Prophet Solomon. So much so that they had lost all the knowledge of their Law, their traditions and of Hebrew, their national language. Then it was Ezra who re-wrote the Old Testament and revived the Law. That is why they used very exaggerated language in his reverence which misled some of the Jewish sects to make him 'the son of God'. The Quran, however, does not assert that all the Jews were unanimous in declaring Ezra as 'the son of God'. What it intends to say is that the perversion in the articles of faith of the Jews concerning Allah had degenerated to such an extent that there were some amongst them who considered Ezra as the
son of God.

If you don't believe that is ok, even if you hate the religion that is your choice. But why come on here and start bashing and judging? I may not like your religion or lack of religion, but I am not bashing you. If I have a question I will ask it in a respectful way. Do you people think your getting your point across by being so hateful?

I have heard many times people say that they wish religion was outlawed, or some people ask what would you do it religion was outlawed. So my question is the opposite. What would you do it having a religion was made the law. Doesn't matter what religion, you just have to have one. And if you followed the law, what religion would you choose and why?

I know it seems like a silly question but so is asking what would you do it religion was outlawed. I am not judging anyone, I just want to turn the tables here.

I'm on a religous topic binge today. And I was wondering what people of religions feel about the story behind the DaVinci Code, and the whole myth that Jesus had a child, and the family still exists.

I'm not going to argue any points, I would like clean, well thought and respectable answers.

I'm mostly just wondering what the big deal is.

One of the other agnostics who uses this website and I have been emailing about an interest in going to a Christian Church just to see what we see and try and get some spiritual fulfillment out of it. I don't intend to wear a sackcloth praising Jesus but it would be I feel interesting to have something more than just books and internet for spiritual fulfillment.

So who is interested, we could rotate the religious ceremonies we go to, call it religion of the month club, then correspond about how it worked out for us spirituially.

So this month a Luthern Church, maybe next week a neo-pagan ceremony.

So the question here on yahoo answers is, to agnostics or spiritual atheists, who wants to take the Pepsi challenge tomorrow morning and go to a Luthern Church and see what we see and see if there is any spiritual fulfillment.

the amazing complexity of our universe (nature)... shows just how magnificent God is. Ex. The big bang, relativity,evolution, etc.,...that is why I believe The Bible was written in a simple form...inorder for everyone to understand it (not just scientists)agree?>>>

"The Bible teaches how to go to heaven, not how the heavens go."

Or will they have to wait for Jesus to swing by on his way back to heaven?

Or will they simply be left behind for not living on the earth?

And what about the Christians living on the International Space Station? Will the Atheist living on the Space Station get a good view of the second coming?

Catholics have a good explanation for this, but the Protestant explanation is very weak and doesn't make sense.
