Does anyone have any insight as to this? In short, it is a "church" that basically a chuch that preaches only liberalism. The acceptance of all religions. Pagans can worship next to Christians who can worship next to wiccans who can worship next to athiests or whatever. They claim to have Judeo-Christian roots, but really shy away from preaching anything Christian. As a matter of fact, when I sat in on a "service" they seems to bash the concepts within Christianity.

My ex-wife started taking my kids to this Church and I severely have my doubts whether this is a good thing for an 11 and 7 year old to be exposed to. If they were adults, with minds of their own, fine. But I do not think I want them exposed to the teachings of wiccanism or the thinking that things like that are OK (other than the fact that everyone has the right as adults to worship whatever they choose)...

Numbers 14:14
And they will tell the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you, O Lord, are in the midst of this people. For you, O Lord, are seen face to face.....
Deuteronomy 5:4
The Lord spoke with you face to face at the mountain, out of the midst of the fire,
Deuteronomy 34:10
And there has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,
Exodus 33:11
Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his assistant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.
Genesis 32:30
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, (Peniel acctualy means "FACE OF GOD") saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.”
*********
Now we see the reverse.

Exodus 33:20
But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.”(that's god speaking)

They both mean the same, I think, but "dieing" sounds more accurate.

My son is mad on Catholicism. He already has the Popes autograph, the last one not the new one, a signed copy of the Bible and even talks of becoming a Nun when he gets older. As a bithday treat I would love to get him something with the Turin shroud on it. Has anyone seen anything like this or will he have to settle for a visit to Rome again?

Genesis 6:6 And the Lord was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.

Its nice to know God has a heart.

I personally see things, like a sunset, beauty in nature or the birth of my son and I just feel like they are amazing gifts from GOD. Miracles if you will.

Have you ever witnessed something so amazing it really moved you or brought you to tears, if so what do you call it?

Genesis 6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort (2)into the ark to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female. 20 Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground, according to its kind, two of every sort shall come in to you to keep them alive. (2)


Next we see him being asked to bring a different number of "beasts" into the ark.


Genesis 7:2 Take with you seven pairs (14)of all clean animals, the male and his mate, and a pair (2)of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate, 3 and seven pairs (14) of the birds of the heavens also, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth.

First off, I am an atheist, so please do not reply with anti-Christian rhetoric. All I'm looking for is a little intellectual honesty. Let's say that there's a religion out there that seems to be inherently violent (i.e. not a week goes by without followers of this faith killing people in the name of thier faith). Let's say that I make a comment that associates that religion with violence, and the reaction of that religion's followers is violence! Would that fit the definition of irony? Can we still pretend that the religion is peaceful? Is calling that religion "peaceful" enough to create truth out thin air? Oh, I forgot to mention, a verse in this religion's holy book is "slay the unbelievers wherever ye shall find them." Also, the ill-informed followers of that religion, most of whom are peaceful people in blissful denial of the realities of their faith's teachings, like to perform mental gymnastics around the violence that is always peripheral to their faith.

The latest fossil finds in Africa adding to the weight of evidence in favor of evolution as opposed to "Intelligent Design"?
Why do they also believe more passionately about things where there is the least scientific evidence to back up up their arguments?

Please read "his" as "his/her" - limitations on number of characters required the abbreviation (my apologies).

This question is prompted by Benedict's demand that Canadian Catholic politicians vote according to church policy rather than according to the will of the people.

Is a politician who votes against his/her religious convictions worthy of trust?

Is a politician who votes against the will of the electorate worthy of trust?

Does either betrayal (religion or electorate) make a politician trustworthy?

It cleary states in Exodus 3:2 And the angel of the Lord appeared to him...

Exodus 3:4 When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.”
Exodus 3:6 And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
He already saw God, he saw the angel already in the previous verse. This being read correctly states that God is seen as an angel.
When I read this chapter in Exodus it led me on a venture, and made me want to search closely through the other scriptures to see where else God was mistaken as an angel.

I found many where man, and women mistake an angel as God.
Any good arguments on the subject are much apperciated.

Spiritually and physically/practically. I saw a very interesting documentary the other day which mentioned that some religions in India only burn their dead bodies, and that Jews and Muslims don't believe in embalming. I didn't know that. Is it really true?

In any case, it got me thinking and questioning, so I hope that people out there can enlighten me!!

So, what happens when someone of your religion dies?

What language do you speak
If you speak at all?
Are you some kind of freak
Who lives to raise the ones who fall?

Hey, could you tell me why
The cat fights the dog?
Do you go to the Mosque
Or the Synagogue?

And if our fates have all been wrapped around your finger
And if you wrote the script then why the troublemakers?

How do you do?
How does it feel to be so high
And are you happy?
Do you ever cry?

... I sometimes cry ...

You've made mistakes
Well that's OK 'cause we all have
But if I forgive yours
Will you forgive mine?

Hey, do you feel our pain
And walk in our shoes?
Have you ever felt starved
Or is your belly always full?

How many people die
And hurt in your name?
Hey, does that make you proud
Or does it bring you shame?

And if our fates have all been wrapped around your finger
And if you wrote the script then why the troublemakers?

How do you do?
How does it feel to be so high
And are you happy?
Do you ever cry?

Here is the question... If you do not believe in God, then that is your choice. But is it because of your arrogance and pride that you haunt the religion and spirituality boards rather than stick to your fairy tale part of the boards?

I was wondering... If an atheist were to fall in the forrest and there were no people there to hear him scream would he actually have fallen?
