Religion & Spirituality - 21 September 2006

Did you ever read the Bible, did you ever read how Mosses commands tons of people to get stoned (beated with blood pooring because of stones), and mosses commands children (their just kids) to be killed with a bloody stoning.

Is this the God we know, and worship or is this BS?

If a good loves to torture and kill people why should I worship a god of fear?

Shouldn't we worship a god that has overcomes hate, jelousy, war, and other negaitive emotions, and has unconditional love?

Have you also Embraced by the Light Book?
Have you noticed it conflicts with the Bible.

In that book it says when you die angel/s will greet you and when you go to the light then Jesus will greet you, then instead of the whole God will kill you, torture you, and punish you for your Sins,
Instead you get a life review where you will feel what you did to somebody, and feel what others felt. She feels god is a loving man that forgives.

So do you think god is forgiving God?

Sawm:
Abstaining each day during Ramadan, the 9th Muslim month.

"Sawm is usually described as fasting, but it actually involves abstaining from all bodily pleasures between dawn and sunset. Not only is food forbidden, but also things like smoking, chewing gum, and any sexual activity.
Muslims must also make sure that they do not do or think, anything evil.
Sawm helps Muslims develop self-control, gain a better understanding of God's gifts and greater compassion towards the deprived."

WHY WOULD GOD BE HAPPY WITH THIS?
Let me first say that I am a Christian but I do not agree with the concepts of organized religion. I believe that the worship of God should be of the utmost importance AT ALL TIMES and not just when we want to, or during a certain period of time such as lent or sawm. I believe that if we are worshipping God and feel that these things associated with sawm or lent make God happy then they should be done at all times and not just a period of time that man wants.

Is the Modern understanding of the Trinity different than the Older Concept? Do we understand it differently than they did in 300A.D.?

Not Solomon, he had kingdom stripped and his temple was destroyed. Not Jesus, he never sinned like this son does.

And that means in accordance to the Word of God that the Birthday of Jesus Christ is only a few more days away.
September 29th.
If you did not know this, do a little reading of the Word.
If you were told that His birthday was on December 25th and never checked it out for yourself then now is the time to read it for yourself.
Don't believe what the churches are telling you without verifing it first in the Word of God. Let's all stop this churchanity madness right now. People, we are only a short way away from the second coming of Jesus Christ. Be a Watchman and be ready. Remember the 10 virgins that waited at the midnight hour for their betroth. Only 5 had enough wisdom to go with Jesus into the marriage feast. Don't be the 5 that did not read to gain the wisdom.><>

Seriously.

I think Christians as a whole are arrogant as all hell. And i would say that only a small portion of them are "Christ" like. Im ashamed to call myself Christian.. even if it is a Cult.

I'm bored and could use a laugh. Take your best shot.

Most over the top bout of thinly veiled hatred gets 10 points (be original though, no points for saying you love me, and you're praying for my soul).

Go on, get it out of your system, you know you want to.

I can’t think of any other explanation for it.

¨Mental disorders are health conditions that are characterized by alterations in thinking, mood or behavior (or some combination thereof) associated with distress and/or impaired functioning.¨

It appears to be hereditary.

There is an ulterior motive to the question. I believe in, have seen the evidence of, the power of genuine prayer. Those of you who do, in fact, pray when you say you will; please, please pray for me. God will know what the struggle is. For those of you who do not pray for others when you say you will, is it that you intend to and don't or that "I'll pray for you," is sort of like the well meaning but empty, "How are you?" I really want to know, so please, no Mahamad or Usama, (or the American Osama), or athiest, or unbelieving crap that mocks the question... PLEASE

Where's the proof.
Right..................
The virgin birth - NOT, buddha did that.
the resurrection, NOT.
the walking on the water, NOT.
Where's the proof and don't say: Where's your faith. Faith is what you have when you don't have to proof. Can you finally grasp that, religious believers. NOT. GOD help those in religions, please. Let's all pray, Dear Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be the name........................
please give your children in religion in spiritual insight to get out of their religion, for we know that they will not return to You by being in a religion. Only by creating a private, personal, direct, divine relationship with You, then will we be truly bless and return home with You, Father. Bless the religious people, especially their leaders, give them the spiritual intelligence to overcome their ignorant beliefs and instill in them the correct spiritual knowledge to allow them to know the difference between the Truth and their religious lies.
