Religion & Spirituality - 23 October 2006

There are times I come here and read statements and questions placed here regarding topics that should probably refer more universal love....but I leave feeling that I have been attacked by the cruelty of this group against that group. Do you ever feel that way?

How can you be a Jew if you reject Moses? Moses stated thus saith the Lord "The life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it upont the altar to make atonement for your souls." Leviticus 17vs11

The high priest had to bring the blood sacrifice on Yom Kippur and Passover for all our people-until it was fulfilled in Yeshua Jesus-once and for all.

Jeremiah predicted it 31vs31 and following "I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, not like the one I made with Moses, and you shall be my people and I will be your God."

that is personal-and true too-

If you reject Moses and Jeremiah -you can be whatever you desire to call yourself-but your no Jew-Rejection of the Jewish scriptures means your something apart from those Scriptures-

pray for my Jewish people to believe the truth and become true Jews and accept our Jewish Messiah Yeshua/Jesus

I finally believed Him Revelatiton 3vs19&20 "Behold I love you, and knock on your heart to deliverFromSin

After all, they are people, and I heard that God loves everyone. If thats true, why would God be such an idiot and love crazy people that saw eachother's heads off? In loving them does he condone their abberant behavior? Wait, maybe they are possessed by demons, at least thats what my Mother would say.

God burns a city to the ground and just because some women feels compasion for the people of the city he turn the woman into a pillar of salt

Why would a loving God kill every man, woman, child, animal on the planet in a gigantic flood? You think Hitler was evil and you justify this?

If there is an all powerful God, wouldn't it make more sense for him to just get 0rid of evil altogether. Or better yet, it would have made more sense to just start over.

ANYWAY

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Love them anyway!
If you do good, people will accuse you
of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway!
If you are successful, you will win
false friends and enemies.
Succeed anyway!
The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway!
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway!
What you spend years building may be
destroyed overnight.
Build anyway!
People really need help
but may attack you if you help them.
Help them anyway!
Give the world the best you have
and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway!

Written by: Mother Teresa

Personally I choose to follow it.

Time and again I read things such as
"The theories of evolution and the big bang CANNOT be proven! "
(THOUGH YOU NEVER SAY ACCORDING TO WHOM)

The bible says Jesus came to seek and save that which was lost.

As a Jew with no blood atonement as required by Moses, no temple, I couldnt be a Jew according to the Jewish bible and Moses- "The life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it upon the altar to make atonement for your soul."

then I found out God didnt lie to our Jewish people from Isaiah 700bce
"He will be exaulted. First He will be marred more than any man, and lay down his life to make atonement for our sins. All we like sheep hae gone astray and the Lord will make to light on him the iniquity of us all. He will be despised and rejected of men."

Why do fake Jewish people say that if you believe in a messiah and he is Yeshua-God is salvation-Jesus in english your not 'Jewish.' because some of my people abandoned Moses and made a new religion rejecting Moses and the call for atonement on Yom Kippur and Passover-because they had no other way to fulfill it except through the Messiah-that is careYES

Have you ever questioned what you believe in currently? Did this experience make you do more research on your religion, or did you just ignore your questions and stay the course? Did you ever believe in something different than you do now? what made you change your mind?

Okay, since you religious nut bars get offended by every single freaking question I ask, and get them deleted because apparently YA is run by religious nuts as nutty as you. I've decided to ask only non-offensive questions from now on. So, Who likes rainbows and sunbeams? Or ponies? Or ice cream?.... oops, would that offend lactose intolerant people?

My point is...if evolution is true, then why wouldn't it be feasible for mankind to turn into a murderous monster an a global scale?
Or, maybe we are meant to pollute or destroy the planet to usher in some new type of species that will thrive in that environment. Why aren't scientists celebrating the depletion of the ozone..."thanks to the pollution, that only we could create, the planet is finally on the way to destruction..."
I don't see any other "animal' on the planet "fixing or changing the direction" they are on! If scientists/individuals believe in evolution why are they deadset on creating cures for disease, etc.? More scientists are trying to save life than destroy it (who says we have to take care of it)...If the fittest survive, why are we imprisoning serial killers, murderers, etc? Shouldn't we be admiring them for their cunning, their advancement in culling the weaker of us "animals"?
It seems to me the evolutionists don't believe in what they have discovered...

With whatever religious beliefs you carry, are you completely happy in life? Is there something that you would like to do in life that your religion frowns upon?

This is in no way saying anything about any religion. I was just wondering if anyone feels this way.

Why don't people who don't beleive, well, don't beleive? The theories of evolution and the big bang CANNOT be proven! Scientists have their 5 year old text books and we have our 2000 year old Bible! Can scientists explain how so many religions, who are based on an Almighty Creator, exist so far from each other? Why is it that our galaxy was made just perfect enough to survive? Why is our world made so perfectly as to not burn or freeze? I just can't beleive that science is right, especially the fact that I, having such a distinct conscience, will just go POOF! And completely disappear when I die. It just isn't probable. So, Atheists and scientists, explain with the best of your ability why ALL of these things have science to defend it. Thanks.

the contradictions in their Biblical interpretations?

For example, Christ preached love and tolerance, yet so many ignore this favoring more judgmental passages. They call homosexuality abomination worth banning while they do not seek to ban adultery. Women were property of men in biblical times, yet most Christians would not want life to be that way today. servants and slaves were A-okay. Many more examples.

If Christians are so right, why don't they answer questions seeking explanation for the hypocrisy?
