In Luke 3:21-22 it says, "Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." It doesn't make any sense to me that Jesus when he was baptized descended from heaven upon himself in the form of a dove and then he threw his voice and announced from the heavens that he was pleased with himself. If Jesus is God then he evidently wanted to trick the people witnessing the baptism into thinking otherwise.

I believe God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost to be three seperate beings yet united and one in purpose.

If other Radically Religious people who are willing to die for their cause and do so are called a Martyr wouldn't that also make Jesus a Martyr?

Why dont most Americans see that there is good and bad in all religions and just because someone is Muslim or Islamic this does not mean that they are Terrorists or hate Americans. Some of the most gentle and good hearted people that I have met are of this faith. Thats like saying that all Catholic Priest are child molesters.Where it might be true that a large number of them may be, not all are.

"To realize that our knowledge is ignorance,
This is noble insight.
To regard our ignorance as knowledge,
This is Mental sickness.

Only when we are sick or our sickness
Shall we cease to be sick.
The sage is not sick, being sick of sickness;
This is the secret of health."
- Lao Tzu -

Thank you for your thoughts...

a witch or magician offered to cast a beneficial spell for you? Would you decline or accept?

(Note: My last question seems to have been eaten by the lag. I'd love for anyone to check it out, since it connects with this one: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Arq4qIhGUP2n071QfdJf5Hrsy6IX?qid=20061017084948AAvctK4

I'm genuine about this. Would it take some kind of scientific proof? A personal experience? Your holy book being proven to be contradictory? Or is there nothing in reality that would convince you that you have a wrong idea about this?

I think they were--

"Just knock off all the crap and get along with each other without me. Jesus Out."

So, Why can't everybody just do that and get along with each other?

I am scared because I have had recurring nightmares of my hurting the person who cleanses me. And then I went to a place where I was recommended to be cleansed by a woman, and it's the same lady from my dream. I don't know what to do, is this meant to be?

How do you come to conclusion about life?

1. Read the bible and go by that.
2. Reasoning.
3. Wisdom, with an unbiased mind, an empty mind.

But how do you acheive that state of mind? Definitely not by smoking pot, or not by dreaming, how do you acheive such a state where your mind is so clear of biases, and lies that you have come to believed, that you have the wisdom to see things for yourself? To see what's right and what's wrong, what should be done to acheve the peace of the mind in self and others.

I have a Muslim (male) 'friend' that told me it was wrong to have a holy book in a bathroom. I explained that I like to read my bible while soaking in a hot bath.... sometimes it's the only quiet place I can find. What's so wrong about it? and what are Muslim views on this?

I would prefer the person to be from the Corpus Christi area or surrounding towns (sorry San Antonio is way too far). If you would still like to give me advice or help I will gladly take it, please send me a message saying so. Thank you.

At the battle of armegedon as mentioned in the book of revelations in the Bible; will you side with the anti-christ and Satan?Or will you side with God and not give into the anti-christ?

Of course those of us that are already saved wont be at that battle, but those that become saved after the rapture are the ones that will be part of the battle. So who side will you be on?

Matthew 7:13-Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Matthew 7:14-Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

In the bible it tells of creation. How when on the sixth day he created man. But supposedly dinosaurs were around millions of years before man. If nothing was here millions of years before creation where did they fit in? Explain that?

I am responsible, the last thing I would like to hear from people is how I am screwing up my life (had a few comments like that from some odd religious people, and no I do not bash religions). I have been keeping track of the artwork and stories and predictions, so far most of the predictions have come true and the art is so pretty. Please somebody give me insight/advice. Also, by channeling I am talking about automatic writing, I really don't want to take a chance with letting them embody (would that be the word) me. I have had that (accidentaly) happen before.

We are all different. Some young, some old, some female and some male. So what's this "image" the quote refers to. I can only think of two things. First, the only common denominator is a brain. Our brains are all the same. Therefore God is a phenominal brain. Second, we all have a shaddow and cast a dark image on The Earth. So God could be its opposite, Light. I think this is probably the case. God would not want to have the image of my brain, since I keep following shaddows and bumping into things. What image of God, do you think we have, and consequently, what does God really look like?

Four nuns are standing in line at the gates of heaven. Peter asks the first if she has ever sinned.

"Well, once I looked at a man's penis," she said.

"Put some of this holy water on your eyes and you may enter heaven," Peter told her.

He then asked the second nun if she had ever sinned.

"Well, once I held a man's penis," she replied. "Put your hand in this holy water and you may enter heaven," he said.

Just then the fourth nun pushed ahead of the third nun.

"Why did you push ahead in line?" asked Peter.

"Because I want to gargle before she sits in it!" replied the nun.
