Religion & Spirituality - 20 September 2006

I have my own answers:

Who: Supreme Being not of flesh.

Where: Everywhere and Nowhere. Nowhere, since God can't be seen. Everywhere, in men's souls and hearts, and also all living creatures, great and small, and within the Universe which mankind has little knowlege of.

God observes from afar on what goes on. At times God will send representatives, and they may take the form of flesh.

Is God pleased with the world today?

Do you agree or disagree with my interpretation?

It seems it defines peace as a time when everyone submits willfully or otherwise to Islamic rule.

I need someone to have sufficient knowledge about both of these religions, so I need someone that can give me facts and clear understanding about the religions. So, please answer this question only if you know because I want to understand and not be ignorant.

What would you have done had you been in Europe during the Holocaust?

Imagine that you are in any of the countries Hitler invaded. Your best friends are Jews. They have asked you to hide them, to save them from extermination.

Would you do all that you could to save their lives, at great peril to your own?

Or would you hand them over to the Gestapo like Judas handed over Jesus?

What do you think Jesus would want you to do?

Lesson to be learned from typing the wrong email address:

A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel plans. So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day. The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the email.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My loving wife

Subject: I've arrived Date: April 6, 2006

I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then. Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

P.S. sure is freaking hot down here!!!!!

the medieval, mind-control crap big time here among the teen population. I have been to 3 schools and the only christians I can find are overwieght african-american girls...nothing against them. It's over. With the wide use of the internet so many teens are getting more than the biased 'believe or you go to hell option' and drawing their own, rational conclusions ....Sry. Your religion will be pretty close to dead in the next generation so have fun while you can.

So Evolutionist think we evolved from lower life forms. Big Bangers think we grew from premortal ooze. And Creationists think God made us in His image.
What if the Big Bang happened? What if the WAY in which God created the universe was by smashing two atoms into each other, thus creating the Big Bang? And from that collision was released energy which He compressed into mass which He formed into all the things of the universe. Perhaps some things were allowed to come together on their own and take their natural form in their own way, thus evolving from what they were into what they are. What if some of the first living things He created was the single cell organisims? Then He went on to create higher orders of animals, and finally man? And who's to say that evolution isn't God's way of changing creatures from an imperfect state into a more perfect state of existance?

Do you agree with me? If not, explain why.

Thanks.

(Just so you know, this is homework for my Bible study group)
1. In your opinion, who is God?
2. How did the world begin?
3. What is your purpose on earth?
4. What will happen to you after you die?

please answer all of the questions if you choose to answer at all, cause I need the responses to be complete. Thank you! : )

today. Its a christian run place, and they provide free tests. While there the lady asked me if she could share her views with me and I said of course, even though I am an atheist, I welcome other peoples views. At the end of her speel, she said,

"so basically people like me are going to heaven and people like you are going to hell."

I was a little shocked at how she phrased that, even though I understand it is what she believes, I think there was a better, more appropriate way to say it. What is your opinion?

Why is the book of Revelation incomprehensible if it is really "not sealed" (Rev 22:10)? Why are the prophecies in the book of Daniel actually easier to understand, if they are sealed (Daniel 12:9)?

of busy-body christian fanatics trying to convert the world? They talk about how bad Islam is at converting the masses, but they are doing the same fricken thing. Why can't we all just "discuss" religion? Why do we always have to be confronted by 500 words of scripture everytime anyone mentions it? I'm just here to discuss theories, when all I ever see is bible-thumpers telling us we're all going to hell! Screw them all!

Belief in the FSM and belief in jesus' rising from the dead both cannot be proven and are both fairly irrational. Except that the FSM has bigger balls than jesus' god! Why would you choose christianity?

Please cite sources.
Bible sources are not emprical, but annecdotal.
So please refrain from long winded cut and paste bible verse responses. thanks

I'm a Christian so I`d apreciate answers only from believers, thanks in advance.

So does God either know anything we will do, who will go to Heaven and who won't, or is there a little gap, room, for us to chose. Would that imply God is not omniscient ? Do the Scriptures even say that ? The question comes down to : how can an omniscient God that knows all exist with at the same time with "free-will" ?
