Religion & Spirituality - 9 October 2006

I have often wondered whether it is really neccesary to look for God in Churches . Why attend Churches . Why listen to Sermons that constantly deviate from the Historical truth of the Bible . So much confusion as to the role of a Human being versus the Bible . Why dont i just pray , honour God in my own way far from the meddling crowd ? Do i loose anything , that i am not losing at the Moment .

My school studies & grades are declining sharply yet I maintain the same study habits as last year which earned me a 4.0 gpa as a freshman in high school. Yet for some reason, my luck has been failing and I'm getting grades that are below 90-80's. I hate to see my parents disappointed because they had extremely high hopes for me. I also want to be the very best I can be... I've been praying to God to help me concentrate and focus on the task at hand... yet nothing seems to be getting better. I try to maintain a positive attitude, but it just won't last... Is God angry at me? Is this some sort of test that tests my faith? What is God's plan for me? What if I don't like it... What can I do to improve myself and draw a closer relationship with God. I can't seem to listen to him anymore through my ignorance and frustration. What do I do?

Hello, I have read about how to see auras and what wondering if I am seeing them correctly. Around the skin I usually see a clear-coloured aura and around the clothing I see an aura that is the same colour as the clothing. Why is that? am I not doing this right?

God sent His Son,
They called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died, to seal my pardon
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone.
Because I KNOW - who holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives

Will you trust Him too?

I'm 26 and in July our full term baby died at birth. I was fine for awhile but I guess that everything is just now hitting me and I am so desperate for help. I totally feel like God hates me. When I am having a decent day and everything seems to be going well, something TERRIBLE always happens. I'm tired of crying. I think that I am driving my fiance crazy and he just doesn't know what to do or say to make me feel better and he is just so frustrated. I want to get better and I want to feel love again and I just feel like I need God but it just seems like he hates me right now and I have so much anger inside of me that I feel like I'm going to explode. I really need help! My fiance travels a lot for work so being alone often definitely doesn't help!

instead of waiting for noah and abraham to come along, killing thousands more people, and starting over with people who had already been tainted for generations? He obviously had no problem with wiping us out, so why not do it when the problem first arose and get rid of sin altogether? Did he not know how to make us again? Was killing only two people too easy? Less fun? Was it because Barney Fife wasn't around to tell him to "nip it in the bud?" Why?

When I have dreams, sometimes there are people present that I don't ever remembering knowing/meeting/seeing. Are these people just figments of my imagination or have I seen these people before?

Somebody cleverly said that we have no time to read good books; we should read the best ones. The Gutenberg Project on the Internet introduces thousands of best books. I even face the problem of choosing the number one best among the best.
I choose the Kitab-i-Aqdas of Baha'u'llah among the Quran, the Bible, the Torah, and many other Books of various religions. And I think a big 'bang bang' would occur on this forum, if I announced that I have made the best choice! Thousands of Muslims would say it must be the Quran; the Christians the Bible, the Hindu the Bhagavad Gita...!
But it is a miraculously new thing that not all the Baha'is would agree in my pointing out that the Kitab-i-Aqdas is the best Baha'i Holy Book. Because Baha'u'llah has reavealed more than one hundred Books to show the way for building the world divine civilization. I have not read all of them, how can I say which is the number one best!
Perhaps, we should let each man to use his freedom to make the choice, right?

why isn't everyone Catholic?

I mean if you are going to choose a religion, wouldn't you choose the religion that was founded by Jesus Christ?

Like:

Jehovah's Witness-Charles Taze Russell
Protestant- Martin Luther
Catholicism- Jesus Christ

by a man... or by Jesus?

Some people often tell me what god's intentions are or they explain things in terms of god. Isn't this a good way to make a person ignorant to other possibilities? Sure the existence of god is possible but should you let that idea influence all your decisions and opinions. Like people who will not except evolution because their bible doesn't agree with it. Well maybe god created man through evolution or maybe god doesn't exist. Could you just consider it without referring to your bible or pastor?

Then why are so many Christians such narrow minded hate filled people,telling you all about all the people that are going to hell with that little gleam in their eye that says that they would love to be able to watch them suffer. Or that fine religious leader going around to soldiers funerals protesting and saying the soldiers are dying because America lets the fags live here and god hates fags, his words not mine. And is any church trying to stop him? No it took a bunch of bikers to keep this freak away from people funerals,he was even going to do the same thing at the funerals of those amish girls that got shot last week.
