I have been on this site for 2 months now, and all I hear is people chastising other people for their faith. In todays world where it is so difficult to believe in anything, we have to judge what those beliefs are.?What does it matter? For as long as we can remember man has tried to define the characteristics of faith, but instead realized by faith it was he who was defined. Why cant we just accept that it is the same. Is it so difficult to believe that we all may possibly find salvation using different resources?And when I say salvation I am not talking about heaven or god, although heaven and god do exist subjectively for everyone from a matter of perception. We as spiritual creatures touch god everyday, without needing the conformity of religion. There is nothing wrong with religion, but when it invades on somone elses relationship with god, then it is no longer god like. This we have to remember.
The only way we are going to get there is together

i have read that the mormon teaching say that the fall of man in the garden of eden was an essintal step in life. i do not understand this because god made man perfect and wanted us perfect. he gave us ONE rule to follow. satan told adeam and eve otherwise and he lied and said god was wrong. we believed him and sinned. it was wrong. what do mormons really believe?

No matter what you say about this statement, He bled and was scourged and spit upon for you.He died and suffered an agonizing death on a wooden beam. This is true love that is eternal and never fails. No matter what you say in this statement, He will always love you.

I am wondering how many alternate egos are prowling around here, how many ghosts.. I think atleast 70% of people are impersinating someone else, hiding behind a mask.
What do you think?

I just can't understand why God has to torture his people for sins that he forgives us for. That's why so many doubt that God forgives them when God lets them suffer so much.
I understand that God wants to teach you a lesson to make you stronger, but sometimes the pain for disobedience lasts way too long that you want to give up.
For me, I just don't know how much more I have to suffer after God warns me many times to quit watching "pornography". Now I repent and wants him to just take me to heaven, but it seems like he's not listening to me. It's been 4 months since i quit, n i'm still suffering.
God doesn't play with sin.

People have used BC(before christ) and AD(anno dimini) for the timeline for up until a couple years ago because they are Christian. now for public schools they use BCE(before common era) and CE(common era). But why do people think that AD(anno domini, or year of the lord) means after death? In the bible, Jesus lived for 30 years after AD started. And please, I want answers that aren't sacreligious.

First of all, the word Christ is not a last name, like Bob Christ, or anything like that. It is the Greek translation of the word messiah, a title that means "annointed one."

And second, the word Jesus is a derivation of the Aramaic word Yeshua, which can be translated into the name Joseph... or just as easily be translated to mean "the deliverer" or "the saviour."

This means there is a valid argument that can be made that the biblical name Jesus Christ is referring to an unnamed person who was "The annointed saviour" or something to that effect.

To me this lends credence to the idea that there was no Jesus as a person, that he was a literary construct in the same vein as Hercules, Osiris, and Mithras. Or that the person to whom this title was given wasn't important as a mere man, so that aspect of his existence was glossed over and forgotten. It seems entirely possible since the New Testament was compiled centuries after the events that were portrayed in it.

I'd like to know, in your own words, if you are getting anything positive out of this forum, and if so, what would it be?

The same question applies to the negative aspects.

Elaborate if you will please. Thank you.

Religion couses so much controversy and unhappiness to people! it may also couse happiness but in general it doesn't. Surely we would live in better harmony if we were a religion-free world.

Dear God,
Thank you for allowing me to go through 18 surgeries, and be in the hosp[ital, 365 days before I was 11. I got to understand the will to live, of the sick.
Thank you for allowing my aunt to die. Without that pain, I wouldn't have understood others pain when they missed someone they loved. I would have never goten to meet the child rape-victim runaways, and learned how to listen to their cries. Would have never learned how they hurt, why they felt you weren't there, when all they had to do was call out to You. Thank you God. I learned what my flesh was, what it is to be human, to cry, and the pain Jesus felt when Lazarus died, and when He was hanging almost bloodless, on the cross. Thank you God, I got to feel someone's pain when his son committed suicide. I know now what rebellion of a son does to a father's heart. As much as I have hurt in the past Lord, I know you are there. You have shown me GREAT and MIGHTY things I know not!!

...because people say, "I can't think of any other way." How did we get here? "I can't think of any other way...God did it." Why do things happen? "I can't think of any other way...God did it"

How do you rationalize coming to a conclusion without investigation?

Intelligent answers only please

By wearing a veil you are cutting others of from interacting with you as facial expressions are an important part of being a human. You are preventing people from being able to relate to you, yet you seem surprised that people treat you differently, why the surprise? the hijab is also intrusive admitably it is not as bad as a veil, but it is still part of the same phenomenon. Please don't sat god wants it, if god wanted it he would have given you a veil by birth

Why do none believers get sent to hell. Surely there isn't enough evidence pointing towards the existence of God to expect everyone to be a believer. How do we know what the bible says is what God really wants? God did not dictate it and he has never made himself known to us.

People, most of your fanatical answers regarding God and religions sound like the maniacal confessions of a brainwashed mentally disturbed person. Are you ok? Don´t you think you take religion and Jesus too litereraly?
I am not trying to offend you, I am just weirded out.

that seems to be the creationist logic, since theories are not valid in their eyes.
P.S.
to those of you that argue that the theory of gravity isn't a theory ,keep in mind that there are clusters of stars in the universe that move in ways gravity can't explain.
