Religion & Spirituality - 13 October 2006

It's clear that there was no Noah's ark, Moses did not live to be 900 years old, nor did he part the red sea. No one unless they were seriously doped up talked to a burning bush. The earth is more than 6000 years old, so with all those silly stories in your book that not even you believe why dont you realize the reast of the book is also just silly stories told by story tellers who traveled around telling stories for entertainment, kind of like the news today, and we know how much truth is in that.

If you can tell me why its existance is worth the deaths of hundreds of people that would be wonderful as well.

Also, please don't refuse to answer this question on the grounds that I might not have an open mind. No, I'm asking this question to enlighten myself... I wouldn't ask if I didn't want to know.

I just would like to put the communion thing out there.
1. The Roman Catholics believe that they are actually taking in the body and blood of Christ.
2. Several Protestant churches believe that it is just wine (juice) and crackers - and it is all symbolic
3. Some Protestants churches believe that the elements turn into the body and blood of Christ once you take of them.

Catholics - before you start saying 'Protesnats believe' get your facts straight or if you don't know - ask. That is how you learn.
I learned because I asked.

... when religions have proved to be wrong so many times when it challenged scientific knowledge? For instance:

- the earth is flat: WRONG!
- the earth is the centre of the universe: WRONG!
- the sun goes round the earth: WRONG!
...

How come religion hasn't lost all of its prestige yet, when it talks about science?

I only served to reinforce what I already believe. That there is no God, only people that wish there was.

i read in a book where an LDS leader preached that this was nto so. that mary and "god" made this baby together. i do have the speech and the leader who spoke this information.. i would glady give it to you if you ask. now, if this is taught by the LDS leaders, do the mormons actually belive it? most i have asked say no they do not. so then, how do you know everything else they teach is correct? do all mormons pick and choose what they believe? and yes some christians do as well, some christiasn will say well i dont follow that part in the bible, and that is wrong. the bible is the way of life and you belive it all or you dont. i do not condone christians saying that. but the same is tru with LDS, why dont you believe everything you are taught? is it because some things make sense and my "go along" with the bible and some things are just to insane to believe?

If jesus was not crusified .. all people would die and not rise up again (eternal death)

But now because he was crusified .. only very few people are going to heaven and almost all people will burn eternaly in Hell fire.

In the Book of Revelation, Jesus is referred to once, early on, as a "lion." After that, Jesus is continually referred to as a "lamb." It is Jesus the LAMB who gathers the 144,000; the LAMB on whom the armies of evil make war; the LAMB who marries and rules after the war. So why do Tim LaHaye and others insist that when Jesus returns, it will be as a warrior lion?

Someone once said that there's a verse somewhere in there (it sounds like something from Leviticus) that says that God will reward men who leave their wives. Is this true? If so, book and verse number, please. Thank you.

There are those rare times on here that you come across a person with qualities that are rare and unique to this world. And you love them as another human being. Not in a sexual way, but in a way that reassures you that the human race could actually survive and thrive if more people had the same views as this person? Is it possible to love the heart of a stranger (for what you know of them) and see that they are being real just thru having read their profile and a few of there questions and answers?

Especially Christian folk. Why is it that people can't except that some people believe in science and others in religion? And why is it that only christian people seem to interrupt, I have yet to see a person of another faith stepping in with a point on evolution or the big bang? I dont understand it.

I've also been told that I shouldn't pracice martial arts. In particular, kung-fu because certain forms are based on animal movements and so by doing them I am actually worshipping animals.

The word "for" can be taken two ways here.

His death could have RESULTED because we are sinful - meaning that only sinful humans would put him to death.

OR, the word "for" could mean that he died to make up for something. But that leaves me confused because I did not personally eat the fruit from the garden. I didn't have anything to do with that.

Why do you worship images if:

Lev 19:4. "'Do not turn to idols or make gods of cast metal for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.
NIV

Lev 26:1
26:1 "'Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the LORD your God.
NIV

Isa 45:20 Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood,
who pray to gods that cannot save.
NIV

Jer 10:3-5
For the customs of the peoples are worthless;
they cut a tree out of the forest,
and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.
4 They adorn it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so it will not totter.
5 Like a scarecrow in a melon patch,
their idols cannot speak;
they must be carried
because they cannot walk.
Do not fear them;
they can do no harm
nor can they do any good."
NIV

Ps 115:4-8
4 But their idols are silver and gold,
made by the hands of men.
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak,

Let's suppose Bob makes a moral judgment that you would argue is incorrect - What caused Bob to be 'wrong' and you to be 'right'? Why is Bob less fortunate than you (if you believe that making wrong moral judgments is disadvantageous to his spiritual wellbeing)? It's not good enough to just say 'free will' - I want to know why Bob's free will caused him to be wrong and your free will caused you to be right.

Please think before you answer...
