Religion & Spirituality - 5 September 2006

1 Cor 3:18-20 reads:
Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness"; and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile."

I have heard these verses quoted as a reason for Christians not to study science, philosophy or other academic pursuits. It has also been quoted as a reason to not use real world managerial techniques and strategies in churches.

A) What are your thoughts on this?

B) Who makes the best spicy chicken sandwich?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Chicken!

Isaiah predicted 700 bce "He will be exaulted, but first marred more than any man, and he will say down his life despised, and make atonement for our sins." Isaiah 52 vs 13-53 vs 12

well actually how can you be Jewish and not believe in the Messiah Mochiach in Greek Cristos-the anointed one in english.

please fake muslims dont mock your fakeness and say you believe in Jesus too-didn he die for yous sins or was Isaiah a liar?

They actually found that it was ICE he was walking on

http://www.fsu.edu/news/2006/04/04/ice.walk/

"A frozen patch floating on the surface of the small lake would have been difficult to distinguish from the unfrozen water surrounding it. The unfrozen water was comprised of the plumes resulting from salty springs situated along the lake's western shore in Tabgha—an area where many archeological findings related to Jesus have been documented.

"As natural scientists, we simply explain that unique freezing processes probably happened in that region only a handful of times during the last 12,000 years," Nof said.


But don't let the word "SCIENCE" scare you

If I was sick and asked you for money, would you donate it?

Would you still donate money to me if I wasn't a Christian?

Would the amount be different?

How much "MORE" would it be if I told you I would convert if I raised enough money for my surgery?

Isn't that reason enough to have it taught in schools?

If not shall we start one?

I'm thinking we can organise anti religion protests to coincide with religous demonstrations.

Everytime the fundies (christian, muslim, hindu, whatever) decide to try and preach ignorance on a street corner, or use their growing political influence to have something they find offensive changed or removed, we can be there as the voice of reason undermining their efforts.

If you know of such an organisation please post their address.

Please Note: I'm agnostic and believe everyone has the right to have faith in whatever they want, but if they decide to preach it to the masses then they should atleast be challenged in a responsible manner.
