Religion & Spirituality - 25 September 2006

If someone put a gun to my head and says i'm about to kill you, is it wrong to hope I will live? I learn that it is wrong to kill, is it wrong not to kill? If I learn that it is wrong to steal, is it wrong not to steal? If I learn it is wrong harm someone physiclly and emotionaly, is it wrong to do both? If I learn that it is wrong to take sex by force, is it wrong to rape? If I learn that my purpose in existance to help other as much as I can, is it wrong to do so? Now what if i learned all this in an old book called the Bible, is it wrong? What wrong with doing Good?

If Logic is a gift from God, and one thinks Logically about the existence of God, does God want you not to belive in him? Is this the divine truth? Are you closet to God if you belive there is no God? Can it not be a Logical thought to belive in both God and logic?

Are these people nuts???? Roman Catholicism was THE FIRST christian religion. All the other religions break off and change little things. First Lutheran broke off, etc. So if every christian religion broke away and changed something they didn't like does that mean NO ONE is going to heaven? Doesn't make any sense! Priests are the ones who perform exorcisms, hello?! How can people judge like that?

Muslim men, upon reaching heaven, are rewarded with 72 virgins (please correct me if I'm wrong). Are there any heavenly perks for Muslim women? Something to make there stay more enjoyable, perhaps.

Qur'an 4.140
You have been commanded in the Book that whenever you hear Verses of Allah denied, derided, ridiculed, or mocked [as is the only reasoned response], do not sit with them and engage them in this talk or you will be no different from them. Indeed, Allah will collect the Hypocrites and Infidels together and put them all in Hell.

Qur'an 33.36
It is not fitting for a Muslim man or woman to have any choice in their affairs when a matter has been decided for them by Allah and His Messenger. They have no option. If any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a wrong Path.

Please don't be quick to answer,please go through these:

1.How would anyone get AIDS if he obeyed this?

Mark 10:19 ...Do not commit adultery...

and Act 15:29 "That you abstain from... fornication(pre-marital sex): from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well...

We all know the spread of HIV is mainly through sex.

2. How would we have wars if we obeyed this?

Matthew 5:44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"

Prov 11:1 "A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just(fair) weight is his delight."

As we cant prove things abt religion scientifically or at least logically right. I sorta want to find out what it is exactly about religion that gives people such peace of mind. Can we prove some things abt humans and their spiritual needs like how humans behave, how their minds work, things like that?

Why is it that when i see any question that questions your beliefs,
morals, or the history of your religion. i can be guaranteed to see several posts that are not much more than 2 or 3 pages that are cut and pasted directly out of the bible?

Do you not actually have an answer, so you just type a few keywords into an electronic bible and post all responses?

do you have an answer but you believe that the bible will answer it better?

if this is the case why not put it onto your own words and give refrences?

more people will actually read what you have to say
if you say it in your words.

i am not trying to bash here, i really want to understand the philosophy of the "bible posters" why cut and paste 1000 words from the bible and say only 20 of your own?

My friends and I are having an exitstensial debate over perceptions of reality and the reality that is before us. If all is based on the prior, and the prior is based on the previous, is our reality predetermined? If everyones perception of reality is predetermined, where does the abyss of the eternal spiral take us? Do conclusions exist?

"paid the price"

the meaning I mean, is generally in the context of jesus and being crucified.

I get that theres this idea that sin is a debt or something,

but "paid the price" TO WHOM?

God? why would god require a payment in order to forgive?

what would be preventing god from forgiving... merely because he felt like it?

Late last year,I attended an Alpha course.This eventually led to me being baptised in June this year.I now realise that I have made a terrible mistake.Is it best to just stop going to church,or should I make an appearance and explain myself before they start bothering me and asking why I'm not going to church.I know they will do this,cos before I was baptised,I didn't go for a few weeks and the man who ran the Alpha course I was on phoned and asked(in a vaguely threatening manner)why I hadn't been to church lately.Has anyone out there had any similar experiences?If so,have you any suggestions that may help me?

Most of the time external environment covers THAT vision and sometimes the external environment itself removes that cover. something like one thorn removing another thorn. Are the religions removing thorn or covering thorn. When covered with ashes the Fire is not visible. but the blaze of wind remove the ashes. Are the religions the covering ashes or blazing winds? or do they do both... a plant requires protection from sheeps and cows when young, but once grown into bigger trees they can give shades to these very animals. but the very protection wall is under threat if the Plant is allowed to Grow into mammoth size. Can we assume religion has only the value of a protection wall for the tender plants. What are your takes on these matters?
