Religion & Spirituality - 20 October 2006

In my life I have seen and experienced things, that were so unfair and cruel that made me completelly reject the notion that a caring supreme being is watching over us. And these bad things happened to people who went to church and sincerely believed.

I don't doubt the existance of God as a higher force of the universe, something like a ballancing factor, but God with a human face is something I can never believe in, not like I could when I was a child.
sad.

Did yahoo answers send Jesus of Nazareth notice violations for "Private Correspondance"; or "Adult Content"; or some other sort of violations for the questions he was asking?

Did Jesus of Nazareth cross the line and break too many of the Yahoo Answers Community Guidelines, is that why he was crucified?

Does this mean the Bible does not teach about sanctification?

Clearly, I am referrencing the silly argument about the Trinity not being mentioned in the Bible.

Do you think it's fair for someone to raise their children to believe in a certain religion? Don't you think it would be better to let them decide what they want to study and believe?

How can we be saved from the wrath of God. The new testament really contradicts the old

2 The LORD is a jealous and avenging God;
the LORD takes vengeance and is filled with wrath.
The LORD takes vengeance on his foes
and maintains his wrath against his enemies.
3 The LORD is slow to anger and great in power;
the LORD will not leave the guilty unpunished.
His way is in the whirlwind and the storm,
and clouds are the dust of his feet.

I think, ironically, that the only person who would be offended would be Jesus Christ (possibly - I'm sure he'd rise above it really). Just imagine if it was his second coming and he was greeted by loads of people holding up crosses. He probably wouldn't want to be reminded of it.

I find it strange that God was a trinity but didnt tell any of his Prophets. If you say he did then why didnt they tell their followers? Every jew says the God of the Torah, The god of Moses, David, Joseph is not a trinitarian God.

Not janoh and the whale, but jonah and a fish

Jonah 2:10
10 And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

How did the fish get close enough to dry land to accomplish this?

Muslims make up 3% of Britain's population, yet because a small handful of the more crackpot ones have said we should have Islamic law in the UK, some people are hysterical about the threat of Sharia Law being instituted here. Yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt!

Why the hysteria? Anyone would think the Martians had just landed!

I spent a lot of time praying and praying for my husband because he had been spending a lot of time going out and being not-so-nice to me...so...then I found out he cheated on me and he got thrown in jail and my life was completely shattered. I haven't wanted to pray since.
Has anyone else experienced this?

25 words or less for each instance cited.

Example for JWs and others:
I once thought G-ds name was _________but now I know it is really ___________. It wasn't translated properly. See.it can be done.

Hell, even quint in the movie JAWS could barely get a scream out. this is what was said, inside the fish mind you:

Jonah's Prayer
1 From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God. 2 He said:
"In my distress I called to the LORD,
and he answered me.
From the depths of the grave [a] I called for help,
and you listened to my cry.
3 You hurled me into the deep,
into the very heart of the seas,
and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves and breakers
swept over me.

4 I said, 'I have been banished
from your sight;
yet I will look again
toward your holy temple.'

5 The engulfing waters threatened me, [b]
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.

6 To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you brought my life up from the pit,
O LORD my God.

7 "When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered you, LORD,
and my prayer rose to you,
to your holy temple.

8 "Those who cling to worthless idols
forfeit the grace that could be theirs.

9 But I, with a song of thanksgiving,
will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
Salvation comes from the LORD."

10 And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land
