Religion & Spirituality - 2 September 2006

I've read a lot of comments from devout christians claiming that Jesus will return soon and there have been several events during the course of history that correspond to warnings and prophesies in the Bible. What exactly were these said events and how exactly are they linked to the "end of the world"?

There have been many conflicting and murky stories about Youth With A mission (YWAM).

Their rulling body is dynastically appointed by it's Founder(s). It appears to be a loosely bound organization yet firmly controlled from the Top.

The rising concerns stem from the fact that they are dealing with young adults at their most impressionable ages and some of the dogma inculcated is peculiar to that organization according to their version of "Phrophets" who espouse things like "Cultural Redemption" (?) and propagate and crusade for these concepts??.

They operate from "Bases around the world with little or no supervision from a Central source of accountablity.

The local Base Leadership can range from a rigid control type to a loose and relaxed environment.

Their "courses" i.e., on "Cultural Redemption" have been accused of being riddled with complete unverifable statements regarding Cultural Anthropology and Ancient History and the Bible.

Is YWAM on Cult status?

Why do some of you not consider that Mary is the mother of God.
Since if you do not you are actually denying the divinity of Jesus.

Islam as a religion puts women lower than men. Apart from the fact that this is total bull, what is the point? Is it to scare women into submission of power hungry men?

The Christian Bible is sexist too.
"But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." (I Corinthians 11:3)

"For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man." (I Corinthians 11:8-9)

What is with this?

Women are the ones who go through labour! They should get a bigger pat on the back!
