Religion & Spirituality - 5 September 2006

My fiance and I have decided to accept God into our hearts recently. I have no problem with just having faith in something, however, he is having a difficult time because he was raised to think very logically and scientifically and he's having a hard time just believing in something with no proof or reason. I was wondering if there's any advice any one has that could help me comfort him. Is there anyone else out there who also thinks logically and scientifically, but has a strong faith in God? If so, how do you believe? I want us to be on the same level about our faith and I need some help doing that.

I would very much like to live forever in heaven and all that, and have a jolly nice time. However I find impossible to believe that god came to a small outpost in the Romam empire so that he could die and wash away the effects of original sin, but afterwards we are all still sinners. I love god and all that, it is just the premise of christianity is too much for me, it is just too silly. If i love god and am a good person, but my rational brain tells me that he wouldn't waste his time posing as a human just to get killed when he is omnipitant and great anway, will god still let me into heaven?

does your coven or group ever do thing that make you uncomfortable and does your family or elders ever look down on you for not doing them?
in the roedan or rede they aren't supposed to harm...but in my opnion what they are asking/ demanding is harmful to me and the other they asked. My mom said that she did it and i know i did it a few times when I was younger but now being older i think it may have been inapproate. I don't go anymore because of it and i've given up the belief completely. my parents are always mad or upset about it. my feeling is that this coven my family follows is a cult--A cult by definition is a group of people who blindly follow one leader.
Our high priest is followed without question and some of the things i have been asked to do are illegal in my state. So how should i approach this with my wiccan family?

This time it's out of PURE CURIOSTY!! Don't worry. For those who saw my rude questions before, let me say now I will not pass judgement this time... so, anyway, my question is: do Atheists say things like, "Oh my God, what's wrong?" I mean, after all, they don't believe in there being a God; do they still mention him that way though? In everyday language?

Thank you for answers... I truly am just curious this time. : )

A lot of end times writers believe the USA is the whore of Babylon in Revelation. And lately, I'm starting to believe it.

What do you think?

Look at why we should show why some religions are not Christian:

Jesus said these words to church of His:

Revelation 2:2 "I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

Mark 13:22 "For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect."

John said:

1John 4:1 "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. "

Characteristics of false teachers:
2Ti 3:7 "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."

Any real Christian will tell you that there are many religions that claim to be "Christian" but are not!

The definition of a Christian of many popular dictionaries differ much from a Jesus version of who a "Christian" is.

These self-proclaimed individuals no more represent the Master than Pee Wee Herman represents Pope!

These are "men of mammon" more than they ever were men of God.

No one is as shameless as the Hairspray addict, the guy with the King of Kings Coiffure, that Palestinian Pentecostal Preacher, BENNY HIN ... now there's a trickster... !!!

He made $32,000 disappear for his Hotel Bill during his one week "Crusade" in London..."$32,000.00" USD !!!!!

On the Bill of fare:
The Royal Westminster Enclave 9 Room Suite, Bodyguards, his entourage of 23 including Hairdresser and cases of hairspray all occuping Jr. Suites on the same floor!

One wonders how many little old ladies shave off 10% or more of their miserable monthly Social Security check to pay for Benny's Suite(s) and Private Leer-Jet...one can only wonder.

Jesus never tricked anyone, but these Wolves in Sheep's clothing are doing a good job!

What say you Christian?

Religions born out of revelations of God through Prophets and doctrines seemed to be concentrated around the middle easter region.
Whereas religions that are born out of incarnations or enlightenment are mostly from south and eastern asia.
Why are religions of each of the regions so distintive?
Is it something to do with the cultural, social background of the people of these regions?
Does that mean religions have a boundary of relevance?

This question relates to the 'evil eye' and why and how someone’s jealousy can have an effect on our lives. Why is it that when something good happens in your life and you tell someone, then sometimes you can loose that thing you want the most?? If God is so great and above all things, then surely he controls all things and surely someone’s jealousy and 'evil eye' should not be able to affect our lives at all?? If God only wants good for his followers and believers then why does he allow someone’s jealousy have a negative effect on our lives?? I was always told as a child, that if you wish something bad for someone, God will never grant that wish to come true, because God is merciful and only wants the best for his follower. If this is true then why does God allow someone's 'nazar' to affect your life??!!

I happened to come across this Catholic web-site and the pictures on the website confirm one thing, Catholism glorifies Mary more than Jesus Christ...The pictures often show Mary carrying Jesus as a baby but hardly do we see Jesus on the Cross...Jesus on the cross means deliverance for many people, therefore Satan wants to make people to remember his birth more than His death.Jesus Christ never commanded us to remember His birth but to remember His death. With His birth, Satan knows that Mary would be deitified(made like God).

I don't hate Catholics but we should not allow false worship to God. Any false worship is demonic, whether involved people are aware of it or not.

The bible says, "therefore since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perserverance the race that is set before us."

Can we pray to the saints?
Do they see our entire lives?

The verse is comforting.

Paul's blasphemous statement:

Let us read what Paul said in the corrupted Bible:

"For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength. (From the NIV Bible, 1 Corinthians 1:25)"

Let us analyze this foolish and blasphemous verse from Paul:

1-Regardless of how smart and stupid GOD and us humans are,our intelligence will never reach even the stupidity of GOD!

2-GOD is a fool.

3-GOD is weak.

4-Man is more foolish and weaker than GOD.

5-The comparison itself is very insulting and degrading to GOD Almighty.It is also limiting to Him since our finite and limited intelligence and strength were compared to His infinite Attributes.
