when we have finally stepped back and looked at all the services and deeds we have done at our congergation, and think that God is pleased and other Christians see us as something to live up to and we feel proud of ourselves and.......... well there is soo much more I could add here.......... Then we finally think we are good enough, and then some tragic sin happens, then we work our way back to good. Did Jesus die for this endless cycle of man-made doctrin performance?

Despite the fact there there is scant evidence for aliens, many, including the late Isaac Asimov, believed in aliens. What kind of rationale is behind this? Is is a suppressed spiritual longing not to be alone in the universe?

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week.

Larry LaPrise, the man that wrote "The Hokey Pokey" died
peacefully at the age of 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.

They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.

Shut up. You know it's funny.

I have seen a lot of religious people get annoyed when atheists etc reply to religious questions in the religion section of this website. They don’t think that they should as they do not share the same mindset as religious people.
If this is true, then should religious people be limited to the religion forum where they can indulge their fairy tales and leave the real questions to people who are able to think independently?

The question is:
Who is doing the experiencing?
Yesterday I thought this up and will try to explain it.
If "Now" can be considered eternal, is the state of "now" always where I am currently in?
Then if I remember yesterday, I bring it into the now.
So the life I had up until yesterday was just a story I told myself today.

The deep part of it-
If we are telling (or singing) our stories to god and god can absorb our entire knowledge and experience.

So am I currently existing as myself in my life experience or am I the re-enactment god is experiencing as we tell him the story?

So if we substitue the term god for myself in the now, and my previous knowledge and experience as yesterday, the growth creates a sense of time, although, I needed the sense of time, to measure the growth.

Makes me think of this song, please any help or comments, or anything. Even if you cannot answer the question, or need me to elaborate, I just want to know if this sounds ridiculous.

Recently a Jewish person posted an answer to a question, using Hebrew biblical sources for the reasons Jesus is not the messiah, including genealogies and prophecies. It was an amazing post --well researched and thought out -- and I cannot locate it now! Whoever you were, could you please repost or email it to me? Thank you!

Every word of The Bible is true. We know every word of The Bible is true...because The Bible says every word of The Bible is true.

How ridiculous.

Faith is believing in something without proof of it actually existing. Just because you give it a nice word to define it - you're still choosing to accept something that someone says, without questioning why. If you read a novel or a work of fiction, and someone then told you it was true - you wouldn't just believe it would you? Why are you selective in what you believe on blind faith?

If I invented a religion tomorrow (With the motive of making money and controlling less intelligent people with it) - and you waited a thousand years, would it be so indistinguishable and untraceable back in history that people would blindly believe that too?

Please grow up people.

An agnostic posted yesterday about how this was the best argument for Christianity he's ever heard of.

He pointed out how the disciples of Jesus were willing to give up everything they had in order to spread the message and truth they had witnessed. Most of them even eventually died for it.

He then rebuked it by saying many people die for their religion. But I think there is a key difference in this case. The disciples had NOTHING to gain from their sacrifice. They knew their salvation only came from the Lord and that there was no greater reward for them in Heaven because of their actions. So why did they go out to proclaim the gospel? These people actually witnessed the events then spent their lives suffering and dying so that others would know the truth. Why would anyone die for something they knew to be a lie?

Different from soldiers and suicide bombers for two reasons
They were there to witness the events so they would know if it was a lie.
No extra reward in heaven

Is it ok to call the leader of the Christian church a "Pastor" ?
Also, who in Christian church helps those in need? Say who do the member of the church need to approach in the event of the financial hardship?

(this is for my research)

In 1889 a schoolteacher told a ten-year-old boy, "You will never amount to very much." That boy was Albert Einstein. In 1954 a music manager told a young singer, "You ought to go back to driving a truck." That singer was Elvis Presley. In 1962 a record company told a group of singers, "We don’t like your sound. Groups with guitars are definitely on their way out." They said that to the Beatles. Man is prone to make mistakes. Those who reject the Bible should take the time to look at the evidence before they come to a verdict.

I am a christian, but i'd like to know do you think its right for parents that go to church or engage in religions where the females can't wear pants and stuff like that and the boys can't play sports to make their children adhere to those policies? Personally I think you don't let the kids express themselves and this may result in low self esteem amd may also cause them to turn away from religion when they grow older.

on yahoo answers i see some non muslims who keep apologising to islam and muslims. (now i dont know if these people are real muslims pretending to be non muslims, because the internet is taken over by liars)
anyway why should you want to go on apologising to islam ? are you afraid that if you hit back at islam that muslims will find you and kill you? by apologising to muslims you people are only encouraging them to even further brutalise non muslim women in islamic countries.
