Religion & Spirituality - 7 September 2006

The recent hatred toward Islam has caused me to ponder once again what my stance should be as a professed follower of Jesus Christ.

As a CHRISTian, may I say that there are many people who boast the name of Christ in their lives, while misrepresenting Him completely. God forgive them and forgive me if I should ever do the same.

Wearing the cloak of CHRISTianity as if it gives credence to your self-serving ideals is NOT CHRISTianity. It is merely another man-made religion that seeks to serve the man or men who created it.

To serve Christ and live by all He taught is to live a selfLESS life while making one's self a servant to all, including your enemies, including the Muslims who might seek to lop your very head off.

If you are going to wear the cloak of CHRISTianity, then at the very least know what that truly involves, or at the very least, call your man-made religion by some other name and leave Christ out of it.

My husband and I were both virgins at age 21 when we were married after dating two and one half years. We have never regreted saving ourselves for each other. Many people did in our day. We are 63. It is so sad that today young people just give themselves away. How much they cheat themselves from making what could be the most exciting night in their lives to just another sexual encounter.

That support the fact that God looks at all sin the same way and doesn't say one is worse than the other.

My husband and I are going through a rough time. He's always swearing at me (and infront of our children) and telling me lies. I don't think I can take it anymore. Please pray for us. Thanks (in advance).

Why do you answer questions from people that are specificaly NOT looking for your input?

and i would ask the same of my Pagan borthers and sisters,
if this question said NO PAGANS would you be looking at it
and answering or just leaving it alone?

this should be interresting.

beliving in you faith or proving your faith?
if you believe and i mean really believe then why is it so important to prove to everyone that you are right?
shouldn't you just be able to be happy knowing in your heart that you are right?

I'm referring to the questions that are posted as a statement to mock religion, people of faith, Jesus, or / and God.
Please tell me honestly how old you are, what you do for a living, and if you have a college degree?
I'm not being funny. I'm a 29 y.o with a BSN, and work as a reg. nurse. See I'm serious :-) Please be honest. Thanks.

Islam is a rising force and on a global scale , Muslims have flooded europe and through sheer numbers are able to influnce the political leaders and national leaders. Proof this summer France and Britian, countrys that once produced fearsome crusaders turned against Israel this summer why? not because Israel did anything wrong because they are flooded with Muslims. Muslims are trying so hard to shove Islam on everyone if not through lies then to fear. I say to any Muslim enjoy it while its lasts My purpose in life it to bring this religion of satan to an end and I trust that he will lead his true followers to unite with me. Paise be to GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hypothetically, lets say there are two people.

The first is a theist who believes in Jesus and God, yet spends his days sinning. He knows it's wrong, but can't resist temptation. As he approaches the end of his life, he is overcome with remorse for all he's done. He confesses all his sins, and vows to live the remainder of his life a devout and penitant man in the service of Christ. Unfortunately, he dies a week later.

The other man is an atheist, who aside from not believing in God, lives a pure and upstanding life. He devotes his days to helping the needy, giving to charity. He respects all the people he meets & all life he encounters. In other words, he follows exactly the kind of morally correct lifestyle that Christ instructed Christians to. He just refuses to believe in God, right up to, and through his final breath.

We all know there are many people like this. How can the first man be saved, while the second man is damned?

Isn't this the grand hypocrisy of Christianity?

I have seen people answer my question with
"Paul says in scripture...... “
Especially when I state that Jesus has said something that makes the old testament very important to follow. When people dispute it with saying to me that,”Paul says in scripture ........” Are they saying to listen to Paul and not Jesus?
Do you see why I find this not making sense? If you understand this explain. Preferably by scripture please

I find this disturbing that people place Paul’s words as more important than Jesus. Or state that what Jesus said doesn’t matter (not saying that exactly but emphasizing it) when they put Pauls message as a replacement for what Jesus said.
