Religion & Spirituality - 29 August 2006

In fact, why would any kind, caring and loving deity allow any of the people they 'created' to die prematurely? If this supposedly almighty 'omnipotent' force is punishing the many for the sins of the few, why not just kill the sinners...?
And if people do still die why do christians still choose to follow this 'god'? Are they scared it could be them next?

And please dont start quoting the bible, try and use actual tangible facts for a change.....

I have been practicing Witchcraft for over 2 years now and have seen both bad (those that challenge the Gods and Goddesses) and good (persons who follow the 13 tenets and the Wiccan Law "Do as thy will lest harm not, including thyself). I am a healer and have helped many people in the last 2 years by following my Wiccan beliefs.

I don't knock people for believing in whatever religion they follow. I just don't understand how a person can actually beleive there is no God or intelligent force behind the creation of the universe, nature, people, and animals. All of this can't be an accident.

I wish everyone stop and think that God doesn't need anybody to defend him to this wicked world. He wants us to stay in peace with everyone, including our enemies and it's not the brothers and sisters that's been used by the evil spirits on the internet. Even if we feel hurt by what they said about our God in heaven and his reasons for sending his one only son to die for all, it's not for us to point at them but to pray for them that the light of God will shine thru any dark clouds among them. We too do wrong before God and we seem to keep it to ourselves but God Almighty knows everything, so I feel for you all to have to hear the things these people say about our God but let them because God didn't make us to defend him but to give Love for Love covers the multitude of sins. Please stand with me in prayers for those that hate our one and only true God. Every sins has it's own penalty the wicked will cry out for help once the devil comes steal, kills and destroy their souls.

Pro-choice and for gay marriage are both values that can be attained by holding onto the ultimate value that God gave us: Freedom.

Freedom to make our own decisions without having a government tell us what is right and what is wrong. The issue of gay marriage comes to mind while thinking of this.

I realize that there are plenty of people who believe life begins at conception, but, there are also people out there who do not hold that same value. Why should you be able to dictate to them what their values should be?

I believe it is not only feasible, but absolutely necessary to be both Christian and pro Freedom.

I'd love to hear other people's opinions on the matter. Please keep the insults to a minimum...or at least make the insults original.

If physical death is a symbolic representation of permanent separation, what is implied by the phrase, "spiritual death"?

Wasn't Jesus poor. Why don't you quit preaching and really follow your God by being like Mother Teresa for example.

The dog usually bites my leg and when I try to free myself from its jaws it bites onto my fingers. It will not let go and I usually then wake up wondering what on earth the dream was all about, if anything? I am not afraid of dogs at all but have had this dream twice recently now and in the past on other occasions.

....and that guy in the park pushing around a shopping cart having conversations with UFO's? He's just as convinced of the reality of his imaginary friends, and he's got just as much evidence that aliens from Planet X are broadcasting signals into his brain as you have that faith in Jesus guarantees eternal life (have you talked recently to anyone who's currently enjoying eternal life in heaven right now?) Do you understand how "having faith" or "just feeling" that something is right counts for less than nothing here in the Really-Real World?

At the end of most of his sermons, Pastor Chuck Smith sings a worship song thats starts off, "Lord bless me, and keep me.." Is this song a scripture found in the Bible? If so, where can I find it? If it is not a scripture, would you please tell me how the rest goes? Thanks!
