Religion & Spirituality - 26 October 2006

I would like to know in a practical manner what I can do to actively seek the greater gifts of the Holy Spirit in a daily manner. I certainly have an eager desire for these gifts to be manifested in my ministry as I share the Gospel with the unreached, so that God can glorify Himself and confirm His word and son Jesus Christ. But, I just don't know how to practically go about seeking and receiving these gifts. I would be very grateful for any direction and assistance you could give me.

Very good analysis of the issues related to being dogmatic, either atheistic or theistic. If you do not like reason and logic, then do not read. I usually do not post links, but, could not do this justice without a link.

of their menfolk that they are pieces of meat who deserve to be raped if they do not?

This is what Australia's senior Muslim cleric had to say on the subject:
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20653032-601,00.html

These comments have just received the endorsement of the mufti's employer, the Lebanese Muslim Association, who refused to sack him for the comments. By way of background, several youths of Lebanese background received heavy prison sentences some time back for the organised gang rape of Australian girls.

It's time to liberate yourselves, Muslim women, and take yourselves out of the dark ages, and throw off the head to foot outfits, and campaign for an end to polygamy, while you are about it. Good luck.

I know they don't preach for their religion but if it was the clear truth people would convert to it.

"And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery...in the very act...the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?...He that is without sin, let him first cast a stone at her...being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one...Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?...No man, Lord...Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more...I am the light of the world: he that followth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life...Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man, And yet if I judge, my judgment is true..."
John 8:3-16

Who are you to condemn another for what he or she does?

Jews didn't follow His commands (didn't accept Jesus and Muhammad peace be upon them) and they worship Him.
Christians didn't follow his commands ( didn't accept Muhammed peace be upon him) and worship Jesus (peace be upon him) instead
Muslim surrender to His commands and worship Him alone.

I think god wants us too be happy, and I think it was us that messed it up pretty badly. We choice our owns actions not god, we choice to do evil and sinful things so that’s why were being punished. There is something called common sense, and not a lot of people have it. Sorry for the bad spelling.

Do you think you could possibly post on a less populated board? I'm sorry if I sound like I'm being intolerant, but some of the people in here (myself included) are actually trying to find out the deeper meaning of what people believe and why. I want to understand the way people and other cultures think

Man is the one that DEMANDS perfection, because he himself
cannot be perfect.
God judges the HEART!
It's the EXCUSES, the DOUBTING, the RIDICULE, the
HOLIER THAN THOU, the HATING, and the ARROGANCE
He doesn't like!

as we say Holidays instead of Christmas as we wouldn't want to offend heathens, what is a good politically correct and user friendly way to tell someone they are going to hell? we don't want of be offensive. Any ideas? How bout you are going to a very warm climate with a with alot of open minded tollerant people, lotsa diversity,and all. After all since hell doesn't sound very pleasant and might offend someone, what can one say to make it sound more appealing to everyone and all inclusive? Just a thought
