Religion & Spirituality - 4 September 2006

Eventually, time travel is invented and the year of which thout is 2170. It is not as flexible to travel back and forth as one would think though...a very difficult practice that involves a lot of government denarii and equipment and it is not possible to travel back to the future or to leap ahead (The process is called Concentrated Time Infringment Sequence ). I really do not expect you peoples to believe my words, Though, strangely you all believe a person by the name of Jesus Christ a flavour of saviour from the far past. I can not prove or disprove this but I can say this is viewed as utterly ridiculous in the 21's and this along with other radical opinions will and already has brought on a lot of distaste in this paticularly age. I can say September this year will be a month brought on by this strange religous fanatical movement of the time...If you want to e-mail me on September 12 with questions feel free. I'm sorry but my mission is not to prevent.

Home come christians completely disregard the fact that Jesus was jewish? The pastor in church quotes out of the old testament all the time, but I don't notice him not eating pork, or keeping to many of the jewish laws quoted in the old testament that Jesus actually followed. Jesus was a practising jew, and it is qouted many times that he followed those traditions spoke about in the old testament.

My questions is, how come christianity has picked and choosed what it would like to follow? If you're going to be dedicated and believe in Jesus as lord, why not follow the rules he followed?

It very specifically states these rules in the old testament, but I don't notice those passages ever been mentioned in church. Just wonder what your thoughts on this are.

An observation that I've made that I'd like to share & see what you think:


Much of the acrimony seen here on YA! and in society when it comes to religion seems to stem from some people's inability or refusal to separate two things (1) what is factual knowledge, and (2) what they believe to be true.

Factual knowledge involves some statement that is verifiably correct and doesn't require a given philosophical or religious belief system in order to accept.
Belief involves something that people can't prove, but still accept as true. (issues of morality, ethics, philosophy, etc)


I think that a lot of our problems here come from some people failing to make this important distinction.

If you confound fact and belief, arrogance of one's beliefs results. We come to believe that we are 100% correct and everyone else is wrong.
But if we are clear about what we believe (rather than factually know), then tolerance and open discussion becomes easier.

What do you think?

wrong! the word son in the Bible does not mean son as we understand today. the word son, sons, and children of God means an honor servents of God.

Adam the Son of God?
Luke 3:38
.......was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

Sollomon is the Son of God?
1 Chronicles 22:10
He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father......

David is the Son of God?
2 Samuel 7:14
I will be his father, and he shall be my son......

Psalms 89:27
"Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth"

Israel is the son of GOd?
Exodus 4: 22
"…Israel is my son, even my firstborn".

Jeremiah 31:9
"…For I (God) am a Father to Israel, and E’-phra-im is my firstborn."

sons of God?
Deuteronomy14:1
..they are the sons of God

son of God = an honor servent of God .

Matthew 27:46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?


Mark 10:17-18
As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
"Why do you call me good (agathos)?" Jesus answered. "No one is good (agathos)—except God alone.
(that's mean he is not related to trinity or even God)

Deuteronomy 6:4
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

John 12:49
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

Do christians believe in some verses and ignore others to fit their desire believe?

To me the search and expression of the Truth is an intensely spiritual experience. When one goes to church most often they congregate with a group of people who are injected with one particular ideology and the only way they interact is to affirm that particular ideology via song, responsive readings, etc. Dialectically coming to the truth via dialog is much more effective than the inductive approach.

I used to be a Christian and I really did believe in what the Bible says about Jesus and heaven, but now (for about 3 years) I just can't believe anymore.

Here's the question. How can people believe that Christianity is the one true religion when there are hundreds of world religions which also declare that their religion is the right one? It just seems illogical to me since if a person was born in India, they would most likely become a Hindu and think the same thing about Christians that Christians think about Hindus. This goes for lots of countries. And do the people in those countries go to Hell for not being Christians? I just think most Christians believe because they were brought up as little children to believe. I was too. My father is a preacher and a chaplain. I think if people would just be more thoughtfull and not always believe what they are told to believe then religions wouldn't have nearly as many followers. I'm eager to hear some answers. Thank you

"Is god willing to prevent evil but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him god?"

I’m going through bad time. I am suffering from guilt.
It was during my college days that I was addicted to
Smoking. My parents came to know about that. I promised
on god and that I will stop it. But I was again succumbed
to it a couple of times. Now I have quit it completely.
Its 2 years since I quit.

Now the things are not going fine with me. I am suffering from the
guilt that I succumbed to it even after promising. I am feeling that
I am getting the punishment for what I did. I am not able to focus
on anything. Will I ever be forgiven?

It's not that serious as to where you have to hate or dislike the people that are trying to spread God's word.

I'm sorry. I'm just asking. I get the impression that religious people get information about Evolution in a Sunday School, and they are told how it is wrong and how Darwin was a racist and all these sorts of things, and how they don't have to believe it cause the "truth" is right there in their Bible.

I base this on what I see here on yahoo answers and my real life. A woman I work with honestly said her son came home from school having learned about Evolution and she said we'll take care of that in Sunday School.

To be clear, I am all for you religious people having your own beliefs, no problem with that, don't want to believe in Evolution, no problem. Don't want your children to, no problem.

I just question, all beit I admit a stupid question, do you really know what it is your rejecting?

I have restled with this question for a long time. All I know is that my life completely changed the day I repented of all my sins and was lowered into the water. I was born again. I was blessed with a power that enabled me to overcome my greatest weaknesses. I had accepted Christ about a year before that point, but I was still to weak to refuse certain temptations in my life - sins that I had struggled with for a very long period of time. Peter said, "Repent and be baptized, eveyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:38). With all my heart, I believe I received the Holy Spirit on that day. The change in my life is evidence enough for me, but what about those who believe but are yet to repent of their sins and be baptized? Is faith alone enough for us to get into Heaven, or do you believe that we must depend on works as well?
