Religion & Spirituality - 1 September 2006

There's a passage in the Old Testament about an angel who delivers a message, but admits to being delayed due to a conflict/battle in a certain city. I can't remember where this was, but I'd be curious to find it again. Thanks.

UNLIKE OTHER RELIGIONS IN INDIA....ONLY MUSLIMS CAN HAVE THREE WIVES AT A TIME....MUSLIMS SAY ITS THEIR PERSONAL LAW..SO GOVT. RESTRAINS FROM CHANGING IT COZ OF VOTE BANK POLITICS...TO KEEP MUSLIMS HAPPY....

DOES THIS HAPPEN IN OTHER COUNTRIES ALSO??WHATS THE LAWS IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES ABOUT MARRIAGE??

I PERSONALLY THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE BANNED IMMEDIATELY....THIS LAW IS DEMINING TO MUSLIM WOMEN,VIOLATION OF THEIR RIGHTS....

With all the Back stabbing, lieing, deceit, hypocrisy and hate that flies around the christian communities, and with all the confusion with in the christian community itself as far as doctrine is concerned; would Jesus be ashamed to call himself a christian?

Would the Christian community even recognize such a humble being as one of their own? What if Christ didn't act the way the Christian Community project's he will? Will they then denigh that he is the Christ as the Jews did at his first advent?

What if Christ, on his second coming said to the world, that anyone who promoted slander against other faiths was not numbered amoung his people. Would you be scared at that point? Or would you still feel so comfortable.

This idea is no so far fetched, It's happened once before.

I'm 19- I'd like to have lots of premarital sex, lots of drunken antics, not giving a ****, etc and then BAM! when I'm 35 I'll become "born-again" like GW Bush, for example. This way, I can still have fun (using the "I don't know better, I'm ONLY 19" hehe!) and then I get to act morally superior still. this I feel is the best approach to life- correct me if I'm wrong

Moses had two( one a black woman)Caleb had 3 or 4 wives,Aaron too! Joshua had 4 wives by which were born the 12 tribes of Israel.And, of course there is the stud Solomon and his harem.

Further, NOWHERE in the NT is polygamy forbidden by either jesus or God( paul is neither). How could polygamy be unrighteous in the eyes of god?

Since a wife does not have to testify against her husband, will the law only allow one wife that right or all of them? If it allows all of them then will it be validating polygamy.

John 3:16 says For God so Loved the world he gave his only begotten that whosoever BELIEVETH on him shall not die but have eternal life, but do you believe the bible says in Mark 16:16 if you believe you will get baptized and speak with new tounges v.17,DO YOU BELIEVE?and John 7:38 says whosover believes out of there belly will flow rivers of living waters DO YOU BELIEVE? John 14:10 Let not your heart be troubled you believed in God also believe also in me DO YOU BELIEVE?

You say you believe, do you believe that God can keep you from sinning?

A dream that seems like it lasts for weeks and weeks in your mind is actually only a couple of milliseconds. The average brain takes about 6-7 minutes to actually lose its life force after death, Well 6-7 minutes in a Dream is an Eternity, You can do what you want when you dream, see what you want in a dream, actually its the old addage see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil, because these things you expose yourselves to here are going to be what you see in your dream world. Just consider what it means

Ever think about what the other guy is like in real life and wonder if, in reality, your impression is all wrong?

For example, what if I turned out to be a 350 pound transvetite?
Jim Darwin was actually a 19-year old female stripper?
and
Whynotaskdon turns out to be a grumpy, boring, ol man?

would that shock you?



Seriously, though... ever think about what the regulars here are like in real life?
How do you imagine them?

Remember the bible clearly atates that divorce in Gods eyes is only valid when either party has commited adultery. And futher more this was only permittable for the hardness of the person in questions' heart. Therefore, according to the bible, the partners are STILL MARRIED despite a piece of divorce paper. God is against divorce. I love you and must say, so am I against divorce. My moto is Vow unto God ie "FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE".
What is your experience and feeling?

it is true that i have debated the exsistance of god. i however have never said that i do not belive in something.
i have on more than one occasion stated that i am a pagan. and that i am a very spiritual person. my wife has level 3 cervical cancer and i was asking ALL faiths to send out a prayer or a good thought for her be it pagan or christian or muslim or whatever. if this is wrong than so be it. i will gladly pay the price for being wrong if only to help her and my two children. my motives on this are honest and simple. you on the other hand ...well i don't know.
you seem to be looking for a fight and today you WILL NOT find one with me. so peace to you and yours.

Leave the athesits alone! They won't want to join any church, because they're smart and know they're all lying!
And why are christians so afraid of the devil? Gods so great, but they're still terrifed of going to hell! Don't try to deny it, you are!
And there's nothing wrong with unmarried sex, gay people, or drug abusers(maybe) Gods great, he doesn't make flaws...

When I ask questions about god so many people assume (incorrectly) that it's the christian god. He's just one of the many bullies on the block.

The planet Earth is only so big.
Roughly 8000 miles in Diameter, 200 million sq. mi. total surface area 60 M sq. mi. land. That is about 100 people / sq. mi. of land

I have seen very nice farm land eaten up by suburbia.

The more people there are the more competition for the Earths limited resources.

There are several times in the past that the planet showed that there was a limit to what it could produce and if this was exceded there would be dire consequences. 1 example id Easter island where the poplation eventually colapsed due to it exceding what the island could provide.
There are many other examples where over population and mismanagement of the natural resources caused desertification & population colapse or war.

Many vocal religious (anticontraception / antiabortion) believe there is more than enough space for all.
If you are one of these people please explain where the food will be grown when farm land becomes suburbia to house all the extra people.

I'd continue but ..

Why do people get so angry at Christians, is it for what we believe? How are we harming anyone? Honestly....why do people get so incredibly angry? Is it hard to accept the fact, Jesus Christ lives?
