Religion & Spirituality - 12 September 2006

I dunno. I sometimes think when I talk to some of the people at church, I feel that they are sometimes a bit extreme. Then I start to have doubts about myself. I never doubt God, but I wonder if some things that other Christians do are extreme.

You find error in Bible. You say that in Bible God told us that he created light before sun and moon. But you should no that scientists
were always wrong. They modified. Scientists believe that the sun revolves around the earth. Then they change their mind. Actually,
light created before sun and moon will be proved in future. we just lack the technology to prove that. So, every contradiction in Bible which is scientific in
nature is just apparent.

Classical Mechanics was faulty. So, they invented General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
It's faulty--so they invented String Theory which still is metaphysics.
The problem is their faulty assumptions. The scientists should study Bible first to construct real scientific theory. And also creat Biblical Mathematics. They were wrong when they believed in Darwin's theory. Now realizing that Biblical Creationist theory is the reality.
You say according to Bible--bat is a bird. Why bat is not a bird?
Modern Genetics will prove it.

You say acccording to Bible the earth is flat. But don't you see in your own eyes that is is actually flat. It's because of the optical abberation and lack of technology that our observations become erronuous
and earth seems round. We now know from Einstein theory that we live in flat space.

Please give me reasons to support your theory.

Here are mine:
God worte the Bile because why would man write a book about their own failures
.....because all the writers lift up God and draw the readers attention to hIm
......Becaus man cites His source (2 tim 3: 16) Man would not do this.

These are just a few of my thoughts. Now physically, man did write the bile. But just as a stenographer only writes what happens in the courtroom, man has done the same when it comes to God.

What do you think?

I HATE abortion. I LOATHE abortion. ABORTION is WRONG. I would NEVER have an abortion. But I AM PRO-CHOICE.

Abortion is a medical procedure ONLY to be discussed btwn the patient and the doctor. Would you want someone looking through YOUR medical records. If your doc told you that your baby was sick and going to die in your womb and you will also die, what would YOU do? Would you want anyone else dictating or telling you what to do during this difficult time?

When you don't offer woman a choice, you're telling her that she lacks capablity of making any decisions. You're basically telling her she's stupid and cannot make the right and moral choice for her.

AGAIN, I would NEVER have an abortion. IT is wrong. But AGAIN at the same time , no one has any right to tell me what to do with my body and go through my medical records. You're not GOD, you CANNOT judge. You dont KNOW my situation or anyone else's.

I'm 16 yrs old, so I still live with my parents. I really want to tell them because I feel as if I'm lying. However, I'm afraid that they may not accept it and that they may make my life hard for me if they knew. I've tried dropping hints to them, but I don't think they realize that I'm Pagan.

I've tried being Christian, but it never felt right to me. It seems that I've always had different beliefs than them and paganism just feels right. I'm not afraid to tell most people that I'm Pagan, but when it comes to my parents I'm just afraid of how they'll react.

If I don't tell them now, I plan on telling them after I've moved out. I just want to know if anyone has any advice to share.

Congress has passed the Real ID Act which in THREE YEARS TIME will require a national identification card for US citizens and anyone living and working in the USA. Could this be another step to the universal "Mark of the Beast"? Any interesting "opinions"???

Heaven or hell is where we will all live the rest of our existence. This is just a pin prick in all eternity and yet we concetrate mostly on the here and now. Sometimes, I just wish I knew more what to expect of the hereafter and what it will be like.

"By freewill we mean that man's will is not coerced. We mean that man is not forced by some external force greater than himself to do something he does not want to do. We mean that man is free to do what he wants to do within the limits of his ability."

– G.I. Williamson

If freewill exist then we should have no limits, but we do. Ignorance limits all. Freewill is an illusion. I can make a choice, but that choice was only determined by what life gave me.

Jesus was preaching all day and was tired and needed a place to stay but had no money. So he goes into the local inn, throws 3 nails on the counter, and asks, 'Can you put me up for the night?'

I watched the PBS Frontline special last night on 9/11. It was kind of a show about the World Trade center attack and how certain religious leaders or even regular folks thought about it. A priest commented that it made folks think more deeply about the afterlife. Made them less materialistic. Anyways, at the end of the show there were images of the people that were jumping to their death and holding hands and crying as they fell. One person commented that as he flew over in a helicopter and saw this he felt that God is a very indifferent God. He will not intervene in the events/ affairs of his creation. kind of like acknowledging that God exists but keeps a permanent distance. What do you think?

I asked a question about abiogenesis and the majority of the answers flat out rejected it without any thought, a few had open minds which was great, and one felt like slandering me instead of adressing the issue because I made slip up in a statement. I never even said that I was right, just asked if people had considered it. I'd go as far as to say the way the scientists demonstrated it (amino acids forming from non-organic matter) is definately not how life started, but could have played a part. All I was saying was that abiogenesis does have scientific backing and shouldn't be discredited. Obviously not many people want to consider things that conflict with their own views though.

Obviously to assume anything is true because that's all we know so far is ignorant, and that is actually a much bigger statement against religion than any theoretical science. So why is it so hard for some people to keep an open mind? Were you there when life started? Do you know what the Earth was like?

After worship little Johhny walked up to the song leader and said " I didn't know there was an angel named Hue." The song leader was baffled as to what little Johnny was talking about. He asked Johnny " where did you here that there is an angel named Hue?' To which Johhny replied "From you. You sang a song about him today." The song leader was even more baffled. He asked Johhny "What song did I sing about an angel named Hue." Johhny was getting a little impatient now so he looked the song leader right in the eyes and said " YOU REMEMBER. The song Our God, He Is Alive. You know. The part where we sang "He tinted skies with heavenly Hue!"
