Religion & Spirituality - 10 September 2006

Why can't the non-believers just say ...Ok God I don't believe and go on to other things. There are plenty of other things to do on the net if you don't believe in God. Instead of downing everyone who does believe.

And all of their religious leaders preach you must have faith in their God. I have no problem with that I think it is good to have faith in God. But when leaders use that faith in their God as a way to kill people and project them into a higher postion of power. Do you think this is the work of the devil?

There is no biblical teaching at all that states we are to pray to those who once were alive on earth and are now in heaven. Revelation, the same book used by them to justify their position says the following:

"And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, "Do not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy," (Rev. 19:10).

John wants to bow the knee and worship the angel. But the angel tells him not to do that because he is a fellow creature. If the angel says that he is a fellow creature like John, and that John is not to bow to him, then neither should anyone else bow to an angel, or any creature so as to offer worship. Worship includes prayer. Therefore, no one should pray to any created thing.
Biblically, prayer is always offered to God, and is a form of worship. All religions view prayer as an act of worship to their gods since they contain petitions, confession of sin, requests of intercession, etc., things which are received and answered by God, not by created things. Also, prayer is not the same thing as talking to someone face-to-face. Prayer is a humble petition to the Lord in and not to a friend who's in the same room with you or on the other end of the phone -- or in heaven. Prayer is offered to God, never to any created thing. To do so is to offer worship that should only be directed to God, which is idolatry. Prayer should be offered only to God and the Roman Catholic Church needs to repent of its false and idolatrous practice of praying to the saints.

I mean, think about it. Before Jesus came to this world, people would sin and have to lead pious lives to the best of their ability, and when they died, god would judge them and they'd either go to heaven or to hell. In present times, we still sin and we are expected to live pious lives to the best of our abilities, and when we die, god judges us and we go to either heaven or hell. So what has changed? Absolutely nothing. Jesus came and did nothing. According to the old testament, God forgave those that turned away from their wicked ways. I don't see how Jesus did anything for us.

Two things here. Firstly, surely God won't have favourites? And secondly, if Israel is the promised land why is it such a barren place? Wouldn't it have been better if God gave the Jews .... say .... the south of France and a little bit of northern Italy? Better climate, easier farming, but best of all no Arabs.

Let's play BIG WHAT IF. What if the END OF TIMES comes JUST as the BIBLE says, with fire and brimstone and 4 horsemen and YOU end up before God and St. Peter and YOUR NAME IS in the book of life, would you go through the door to heaven or would you go back to the Earth with rivers of Fire and lakes of Fire?

How deep does your belief system go!

It happens.

Exactly as the Bible says.

And YOU are told, for some strange reason, you GET IN!

What do you do?

Door number 1 or Door number 2?

Satan is God's arch enemy, not humans. Why didn't God just wipe out Satan and his demons so that He can take all of us to heaven? Is He afraid of Satan?

I have been on Y answers for just a short time now and I have noticed that only one thing seems to be consistent. People attacking other people's beliefs. I just want to know, why? This question if for anyone. Atheists, why do you feel the need to attack christians and call them stupid? Christians, why do you feel the need to attack others to justify your beliefs? I am truly curious. No one is accomplishing anything exept to argue pointlessly. WHY?

Don't you love him? Why wouldn't you pay for your own sins, why lay it on such a good guy like Jesus? Would you pay for your own sins if you could?

The creator said I change not. He does not break his own laws.
The Jews as they are called were taught by the Levites. The Levites are not here just to teach the Jews, but all of mankind to repent for the kingdom of heaven is near at hand. Remember John the immerser? He baptized all who repented of thier sins. Where does it say they were all Jews? Read more closely. When Paul had the vision with the sheet and the animals this had nothing to do with food. It was about going to teach all mankind and that they to could be forgiven if they would turn from sin.

Could it be possible they wouldn't be reported as the people back then wouldn't know what vampires were? Would someone have contacted a priest
or one of the apostles? Could vampires have survived during that era when everybody was old (probably with tired blood).

This is not what most people are looking for in Questions, but I needed to use it for good. God knows who she is. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Remember the woman with the issue of blood. By faith she touched the hem of Jesus's garment and was made whole. thanks
