Religion & Spirituality - 27 August 2006

There was recently a woman who saw the virgin Mary in some chocolate, this along with Jesus cheese sandwiches and pancakes got me thinking.

Maybe God is trying to communicate with us through food, but we keep eating it.

I don't know about you, but I promise to study my food much more carefully from now on.

** if you want to say Holy spirit please first read the whole text

It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12:
"And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned."
Does it ring a bell???

***********************
OR
1-John chapter 14 verse 16:
"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever."

2-Gospel of John chapter 15 verse 26:
"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which
proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me"

3-Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 7:
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not
come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you".

**Some Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realise
that the prophecy clearly says that only if Jesus (pbuh) departs will the Comforter come. The Bible states that the
Holy Spirit was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus (pbuh), in the womb of Elizabeth, and again when Jesus (pbuh) was being baptised, etc.
whereas the Bible says "....for if I go not away, the Comforter will not" so the comforter WILL NOT COME even just temporarily when Jesus is on earth
So according to 3-Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 7, the comforter cant be Holy Spirit .
***********************
Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 12-14:
"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is
come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me".

then why is he spiteful? in the bible he murders out thousands of people just because they didn't obey him. If he's so powerful, isn't that like punching a two year old in the face for not obeying you?

And, if he's real, why doesn't he smite people, like he supposedly did thousands of years ago, today? What made him stop?

When I was about eight years old, after my communion and everything I denoucned my faith with the catholic church. I told my mom that I was having trouble with my beliefs and that I no longer want to be apart of it. My mother was probably the least religious in the family and accepted it. My aunt and uncle (God parents) are the strictest and were upset with me. Ever since though, my family hasn't been going (unless it's a holiday, go figure.)

For a while now I have been learning about Islam and I plan to convert someday in the future. It's the only religion that I feel close to and that makes me feel good. When I was about 13 I told myself to find faith in something, for living a life without something to follow would only lead me to destruction.

ANYWAYS, Why do people in most other religions praise Jesus, when it was God who created us? Does anyone else consider jesus' death (in the bible) more of a sucide than anything? Aren't I responsible for my own actions/sins?

Is there any evidence you can think of, that, if you saw it, would convince you God does not exist?

If the Christian God is supposed to be loving and forgiving why are we always told we must be Godfearing?

Any ideas?

2006-08-27 20:36:18 · 21 answers · asked by Ken 2

for example:

"God only accepts ugly people, regular boring people, and old-farts only, but beautiful bright goes to hell"

"you have to be fat and ugly in order to go to heaven that is less bright than we've expect"

"only white people can go to heaven, black people go to hell"

It’s Allah who creates the Muslims at his will and he also creates the non-Muslims at his will too. The minority of Muslims who are waging a jihad against the non-Muslims should realize that the non-Muslims are simply following a religion given to them by Allah.

*plz dont define jihad bcoz i know what jihad actually is. i m talking abt so called ,,jihad, the term used by terrorists.

Again, just something to provoke thought. God created man in his own image? Or does man create God in his? What purpose does an all-knowing, all-powerful being have for creating? What purpose(s) can creation serve, aside from overcoming limitation and satisfying curiosity? Psychologically, what creates the desire to project one’s views as an objective standard, and essentially project oneself, hypothetically, on an infinite and immortal scale?

I stood up for Jesus because I was tired of seeing all the ignorant questions about Christianity. I hope that others who are Christians feel the same way, that you get tired of the blasphemy. Those who need answers look no further than Job chp 38. Peace.

according to the laws of science ( to the best of our knowldge ). So isnt science the only way to understand the mysteries of the universe ? When all experience could be reduced to processes of nurophysiology, why do mystic experience deserve a special place in philosopy ?

I've read and heard that people in America and around the world fault Muslims for not enough outcries against the terrorists. I think those who say this feel their perceived silence from us means we are supporting terrorists. Well that is not true. We do speak out against the terrorists, but we are not given the same airtime to shout loud enough to the terrorist to stop! But I feel that is partially my fault. So what would you like me to do to shout louder so that we can be heard? Is public access TV a good route? Should we buy space in the New York or LA Times or Washington Post? Go to Congress or get on Larry King? What do we need to do... would you please let us know? Help us out so we can make things right. Thank you in advance.

P.S. One thing I will not do is use violence, so no point in suggesting it.
