Religion & Spirituality - 25 September 2006

In my view I hear all those preachers, teachers, and Bible scholars saying God created in six [6] 24 hour days and rested on the 7th day. Where did they dream up this concept. There is absolutely no place in the first 4 chapters of Genesis that says that a day to God is 24 hours. The bible give diverse measurements for a day in its words and humankind knows a day is not exactly 24 hours.

In the Bible words time itself measured in a precise period or measured unit is not put in place until Genesis chapter 5. This time measure did not start until Mr Adam ate of the fruit and the pending death withing that day [1000 years or less]. If the Bible does not give a time, why do bible scholars, teachers, and preachers insist on putting time in placer in the first 4 chapters? Are they wiser than the Spirit of God? Are they designed to bring forth controversy? Are they in existence to create problems rather than solve them by not using the Bible words as a guide?

JUst a curious "NO"!

With the help of Genetic test an Individual can trace his Parents and close relatives.
Many people Bear the Genetic Signature of Gengis Khan even today.
What I Want to ask is these Christians are saying that Genetic testing also has flaws and mutations occur every few thousand years which change the Signature, is this true.

Some people feel that with the modernization of Christian music, songs are becoming less meaningless and more for listening to rather than praising the King of Glory, God. What's your stand on that?

Have you ever experienced someone’s thoughts manifest as emotions within yourself? For example, did you ever find yourself in a seemingly benign conversation, but afterwards feel that much more transpired subconsciously. Most often, intense feelings are impressed with no detailed memory whatsoever. However, sometimes, if the person is familiar, an image will be left behind.

What is this???? And what do you do if this image is intrusive and you haven't a clue what it's about?

Is there evil in the animal world?
What would be the basis of a standard of evil for animals?
Is not evil merely a creation of man to describe behaviors that are harmful to others?
Who believes that evil is palpable and personfied in devils and demons?

In my view guns don't kill. It is the people who do kill with guns. Likewise I see the Bible as an innocent Book that has its own story and its own purpose. However I also see in my view too many teachers and preachers with diverse opinions as to what it say and how it is to be understood. Is it these individuals who are really the ones who give the Bible a bad name?

Why do some non-Muslims at this site continue to claim The Koran encourages Muslims to kill non-believers?

Let us put this to rest. Can you share some verses that show that this is all nonsense?

Every Muslim I know is kind and filled with faith. It amazes me
that people who have not spent any time whatsoever learning about Islam or The Prophet find it acceptable to spread such ideas...

peace

My question is for muslim men (that look arab looking) from iran,iraq, eqypt, india, pakistan, etc, etc. & in appearance you sort of look like the muslim terrorists they show on TV.

Since 9/11 do you feel like people look at you in a concerned discriminatory fashion? I don't mean outright unlawful discrimination. I mean social discrimination. i.e., american women are less apt to date you, you have more difficulty making american friends, seem to have non-muslims be wary of you? Perhaps less potential in getting a job, being treated less worthy or suspicious by non-muslims in other places, from airports to doctor's office, etc. etc.

Do you feel the difference now after 9/11? Did u feel before? Now? Not before or after?

If you do, can you give some examples.

Also, have you ever considered changing your religion or facial features (plastic surgery for arab nose, making skin lighter) due to these affects? Are you ashamed to tell people you are muslim?

During the plague, the unscientific Christians thought that cats caused the plague. Actually, it was carried by rats. So when they killed cats, these ignorant clowns did the worst thing they could do. They also said their eyes looked like the Devil. And they tortured them for hours before killing.

Should a responsible and intelligent adult, teach young impressionable children to believe in a "devil"?

I mean think about it: A DEVIL. An invisible creature that nobody has ever seen. No photographs, no evidence, not one picture or 1 second of video footage.

Shouldn't we spend our time educating our children about real problems? Shouldn't we teach them that people are responsible for their own actions and that an invisible "devil" has nothing to do with the tragedy in the world?

Wouldn't it be better to TEACH our children to be kind and fair instead of scaring them into being kind and fair with an "invisible devil" that will torture them in a "hell" for millions and millions of years?

Whenever I pray or hear really moving spiritual music, I get tingling and goosebumps all over my body that sometimes give me a quick shiver. Are these symptoms of the power of the Holy Spirit moving through my body? It feels really uncomfortable but I still love when it happens because it makes me feel like I'm really close to God and like my prayers are much more powerful and effective during those moments. It even makes the hair on my arms stand straight up!

I know in the OT it says it's forbidden to eat pork, but I don't understand why Christians still eat it. Don't they adhere to the OT as part of the Bible? Does it say something in the NT about not having to eat a particular way anymore?
