Religion & Spirituality - 16 October 2006

What if you liked a guy, you ended up dating him, then getting engaged...but you don't have a specific religion, however you're still Christian, and he's a devout Pentecostal? Could marriage really be a reality when both partners want and have different Christian religions?Also, he wants to be a missonary, are there any careers that would go along well with his job so that I could travel with him?

First off - I'm not interested in bashing, or if this religion or that is right or wrong. I just want to know what the perspective is.

About a week ago a muslim on this board said they see Christianity much as Christains vew Judaism. (in that one religion replaced another).

I know Christians see many things in the Old Testament as being symbolic of Christ (the sacrifical lamb without blemish for example). I was just curious if Muslims find symbolism for their faith in the New Testiment. If so, can you give an example?

Thanks.

No christians quoting the bible or cursing. I want to hear real thoughts on the subject.

Is the age of christianity over? The christians have lost a lot of their power now. They can't go on crusades anymore, unless they wan't to start some big war. About 2/3 of the world don't believe in christianity, or something like that. So what are your thoughts on this?

Why we don’t understand our route from early knifes which we made from animal bone to today’s laser cutting? Why idiots believe in gods creation of the world in 6 days and leave a valuable theory like evolution? Why Christianity does seeking for uneducated rural tribesmen to spread their religion? Are they going back to the beginning of Christianity, Like the time when Jesus mock around with sheep’s and fishmongers? Do you think the people who are joining today have an idea about what is the actual plan of Vatican? Why the Hindu idiots can not care for all the humans equally? Why do the Governments do not take actions against this religious activities? US Protestant missionaries are converting low cast Hindu people in Asia. Why do they want to spread the virus? Why we follow stupid outdated religious books and ignore science gems like Charles Darwin. Why the Christian church is calling him as a idiot. Why chirch and muslim leaders dont switch on 2 National Geography channel and Nature

Promised rewards for obedience and damnation for disobedience. Righteous prophets and men of God using scare tactics to create a submissive state of mind into total compliance. For the Salvation you seek, the road is paved with bodies, running alongside a lake of blood. Dissent will throw you into burning pits where you will suffer for eternity, while like a sheep to a slaughter house you follow the bitter taste of salvation.

I have had some really interesting answers about missionaries recently, there is just one thing bothering me...

If someone has not heard about the "word of god", they automatically go to heaven, as it is not their fault, right? So why tell them, and risk their souls? Surely helping them, and keeping your beliefs to yourself would be much kinder?

To a child, telling them that if they sin and don't make up for it in the eyes of God they will burn in hell forever is metaphorical at all. It seems very real, and an extremely frightening prospect. Shouldn't children be left alone until they are of a certain age where they can think for themselves to decide which religious ideas best suit them or lack there of are best for them?

We are mini slow moving time machines. Time travel will always be impossible due to the paradox. We may be able to view the past but never go there. Recorded media will allow future viewers to see us. The future is happening one second at a time, and we are in its time machine. my toast was fine

Why do you atheists quote the Words of a God you don't believe in when trying to make a point.

If you don't believe God exists, then using His Word only makes you a hypocrite.

Why do you do it?

If you truly trust God why the need for prayer. (S)he already knows before you ask what it is that you want and need. Realizing this within myself has stopped many a prayer and substituted it with a spiritual knowing.

I am afraid of being made fun of by my co workers for having medievil supersticious beliefs.

But the Bible says that you should not deny Gods name.

I am reminded of the famous passage from the Book of Derek (from memory, forgive errors please):

"And the Romans cameth looking for the followers of Jesus, and Kevin of Tel Aviv, who was His disciple, said "I knoweth of no man named jesus, not around these parts anyhow. In Gallilee I kneweth of a Jessie, if that beith of any help."

And the Romans did not crucify kevin, although they kicked him in the shins and it hurt mightily.

God was angry, and he said unto Kevin "thou has denied my name. I cannot believe you can hurt me like this, after everything I have done for you guys, sending my son and whatnot. "

And God smote kevin on the head with a golf club. And then God smote kevin again with a polo mallet."

I dont want to be smitten. I know God is sensitive about people playing down their connections with Him.

What should I do?

a prayer request for my best friends father who can go at anytime. He has terminal cancer and everyone is just making him comfortable as they can. Maybe God isn't evil. Maybe he is there to help us through things like this. Thank you.
