Religion & Spirituality - 14 August 2006

In the first chapter of genesis it describes how god made the world in 6 days ( days in old hebrew meant periods of time so therefore the world was created in 6 periods of time). What i want to find out is if these sequence of events correspond to the scientific thinking about what came first and after ( i.e the sequence of events to the creation of our universe according to scientific theory). Does the science match the theory. Day 6 ( the sixth period of time ) show that animals were created before humans and humans came after. This would be quite true as humans split from the "ape" family and evolved on their own to present day to be in likeness to gods spirit. Do the first 5 periods of time agree with the scientific truth like day 6 ( the sixth period of time) does? SO maybe the big bang theory would be correct as this was gods way of making the universe... And maybe the sequence of events that follow were allowed happen in their own good time until it came to our existence??

Is it like climbing a mountain? Is it a fantasy or a nightmare? Or is it a vocation that you feel called to live? If it is more than one of these how do you see it today? For me it is a calling and an adventure. I see my lifes vocation as one to love and serve God through my fellow man. If I have made even one person a bit happier then I consider today a day well spent.
Peace Be With You,
Debra

If Islam is the peaceful religion that is often claimed, why is it that clerics from mainstream Islam do not come out publically to condemn the terrorists and encourage other ways of fighting injustices?

Please don't merely point the finger back as some other group...this is a serious question and the answer you give may further the cause of mutual respect and understanding or enlarge the chasm between us all.

If clerics have made public statements, please tell me where I may find these. I sincerely thank you for your answers.

many people find peace in practicing religion. Others find it just going for a walk in the woods. Still others find it doing good works for others. What brings you peace?

"Religion is an insult to human dignity. Without religion you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things, but for good people to do evil things it takes religion."

I agree. What do you think?

THAT JESUS IS COMING , JESUS IS COMING....
They say this over and over as if it were some future event.
I have even heard it preached to provoke fear.

Do we not realize that Jesus IS COME he is here now,
Do we not know who Jesus is, Do we also not know that
God is dwelling in flesh and that we are the members of the
body of chirst
1Jo 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

If the difference in beliefs has become a serious issue, but the marriage is worth the effort, which one needs to compromise his/her beliefs: the believer or the non-believer?

I've been reading Churchill's "The Birth of the Britain" and came across a passage on John Wyclif and the Lollards (the first British heresy). Cross-checking "Lollards" with the Catholic Encyclopaedia I came across a statement that in 1401 England passed a law granting the church the power to identify heretics, who were to be handed over to the state to be burned at the stake. The CE claimed this was "merely the application to England of the common law of Christendom."

In the case of the Lollards, they were burned for claiming the Eucharist was nothing more than "a mouthful of bread".

That got me wondering about today's christianity.

Given the power the church had over the state, and through the state: the people, to terrorize people into supporting the state and church through the threat of the stake, why would you favour an end to the division between church and state? Who would you wish to see burned: Unbelievers? Heretics? And who should judge them on Earth?

I have a friend whose husband is a total non-believer in any God at all, personal or otherwise and needs proof. It upsets her because she is a believer, but she loves him. She cannot discuss this, nor feel close to him, because of his non-belief. She does not know what to do, and does not push it on him, but she is feels a real void in their marriage. . Is there any hope . .?
