Religion & Spirituality - 19 September 2006

I have heard some reasons, but I want to know why are people afraid of the truth. (Regardless of any negative answers I may receive,"One day every tongue will confess and every knee will bow" Does that scare anyone? Why not seek the truth, do the research as you would for a school paper if you don't believe. The bible isn't bad it is a manuel on how to live a fulfilled life. How scary is it to know you have all the material here to find the truth, only to wait to late to spend it in hell for all eternity. I hope I do not but if I recieve a negative answer, know that I am already praying for you. God Bless
Hoping to see you all in Heaven on day

I 'd like to know more about Mormom. Is it true that the context of the Book of Mormon copies from a fiction? Then, there were people sued Mormon (the copyright problem). Mormon lost in the court case. Please be open to discuss.

The best defense for the existence of God is that the universe itself exists, and matter needs a point of origin. Atheists would then ask “Who created God?”. When we respond “God always was.”, they come back and say “Why can’t we say that the universe always was?” Here’s my rebuttal: Consider the chair that you’re sitting on. It’s mass needed a point of origin, but what about the concept, or the ‘form’ of the chair? Before the first chair was built, you still had the possibility, or the form of the chair. The form always was, and always will be, but not the physical actuality. Of all the infinite forms, Good and Evil are the most significant. God IS good, and the Devil IS evil. They were the two original minds/beings, and they needed this universe and people to make choices, so they cooperated. A few moments later … BANG … there we were. God and the Devil were the totality of the forms/concepts of Good and Evil, so they don’t need a point of origin, unlike physical reality.

This is what she said on the view:

ABC's Rosie O'Donnell told a nationwide audience this week that "radical Christians" are the same as radical Muslims who piloted hijacked jetliners into New York's Twin Towers, who chop off the heads of individuals and who bomb innocent children in suicide attacks. O'Donnell made her comments as host of ABC's "The View."

Has she lost her mind?

(Educated answers please)

There is so much debate on whether to teach about God and the creation of Earth in the classroom. Why don't they just make two seperate classes? Of course they will be optional and you can take whichever class you want to learn about. That way everyone is happy. Why don't they just do this?

At the urging of the religious radicals, the House of
Representatives is poised to vote on the Public Expression of
Religion Act (PERA) this week; a bill that would weaken our
nation's commitment to religious freedoms
The Constitution ensures that there is no establishment of a
state-sponsored religion - something religious radicals have
long sought to overturn. This whole thing stinks of the "burning times" and other religious oppressions in history
So do you value your religious freedoms?.. if thats a yes?... lett'em KNOW! PROTECT YOUR RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS and demand your Representative put freedom above the religious radicalism and vote NO on this bill:

This was a few years back. Someone in the Southern Baptist Convention got the idea that every year they would "declare spiritual war" on a different religion--Hindus, Jews, Muslims etc. No one really paid attention til they went after the Catholics. Guess no one told them Catholics are Christians too. My whole family is fanatically devout Southern Baptist, so I got to hear all about it. Just wondering if anyone else remembers that.

I did many months ago, during school. Even though I'm a Christian, I found it to be a very entertaining story. Of course, I didn't read the whole thing. Did any of you? If so, what did you get out of it? Did you have any favorite stories?

i was wondering if the backmasked stuff really contain some recoganize ble, comprehensible stuff like what it claims. any tape backmask debungking links are most welcome.

i really doubted this thing now because when i saw an episode in a reality show (im not sure if it was rescue 911), you can actually understand and hear that this histerical woman(subtitled) is saying when she actually was saying the subtitle was changed and you can hear a different statement although it was the same audio sample.

is it like the brain is fooling us to understan stuff that arent actually real? or bluntly said, "making sounds speak what we are predisposed to hearing"?

i think christians can find the words "jesus is lord, or jesus saves" in a song from system of a down..

I mean, who was managing the affairs of the universe and all that is in existence while He was busy talking and lecturing to mankind on this Earth?

Isn't God much greater, more superior, and above all that? Wouldn't He have chosen to send a human being, whose body apparatus is capable of living in Earth's environment (breathing, eating...etc), to communicate His message to similar beings?

Please don't tell me He sent His son...that just the same as saying he came down himself...sorry.
