Could Deepak Chopra convince anyone earlier that we can live forever ? So much for "AGELESS Body, TIMELESS Mind". Can he live forever or is he facing his own mortality ? Is that why he's now reinvented himself as an authority on "Life after DEATH". Where is this all leading for a few gullibles that listen to him ?

According to Deepak Chopra, “we are divinity in disguise, and the gods and goddesses in embryo that are contained within us seek to be fully materialized. ..."

In the beginning, a false spirit told us the same, holding out the same reward of eternal life through the "divinity" within.

Genesis 3:4 Satan said to the woman, 'You will certainly NOT DIE!
Really, God knows that on the day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be LIKE GOD, knowing good and evil.'

Ages have passed and we still DIE.

On the other hand, Chopra is invoking the language of sophistry in order to make his old ideas appear scientific. Unfortunately, this is the stuff of pseudoscience precisely because it is not related to the methods, experiments, or findings of traditional science. Similar to his metaphysical claims, Chopra offers no real definitions, reasons, or elaborations for his physical claims. Instead, he throws a scientific term around here and there, and it lies there isolated, vague, and virtually meaningless... other than the fact that it creates a thin air of scientific connotation which would only convince the least learned of science and its method. Would anyone is his RIGHT mind believe his claims ?

Do you feel that loved ones stay near us and try to comfort us for a time after their death? And also how do you know when a spirit is a good spirit and not an evil one impersonating good? Do you just feel the difference? I am curious and will not mock or insult.

Why did God go though all that trouble just to repent for your sins?I don't understand why God had to make himself into human form and come to earth as Jesus, and punish himself for the sins of his OWN creation, and take up as the Holy Ghost? This makes no sense what so ever. Why couldn't God just stay in heaven and wait until Judgement Day to punish or reward people instead of punishing himself? This is like saying my Mom should punish herself for all the worng thnigs I've done. That's just crazy. Why does God have to hold reponsible for the sins of the filty human beings as us, his own creation. It's not like one day God had an ephiphiny to create humans commiting sins so he can punish himself for us just for the heck of it? It makes no sense.

Matthew 27:9
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

I'm looking through Jeremiah, but I can't find anything like it.


I did find something like it in Zechariah

11:12-13
So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.

Is Predestination compatible with Magick ? What do practitioners think about destiny ?

Friends

I believe in all events being predestined and am a believer in astrology however I have two issues to resolve -

1) People talk about evil magick.If everything is predestined then how can any individual affect us negatively ?

2) We are suggested certain 'solutions' to our problems by astrologers, again if everything is predestined then how can this medicines influence the outcome ?

Not only that it is the fastest growing religion in the USA.

Don't believe it? Check out, KEEP IN MIND that muslims DON'T run CNN and BBC.

Those who are going to claim that it is because of population growth are ignorant, because they should just look at the number of Americans who become Muslims every year, which is on the rise after 9/11 (because Americans read the Qur'an).

Those who say that its because Muslim countries don't accomodate other faiths are also ignorant, if muslis had done so in the past there would be no Coptic (Arabic speaking) Christians in the middle east who pronounce God as Allah. In the present age, Egypt has got coptic christians as well as other muslims countries in the middle east.

Alia Ansari, a Muslim mother, was gunned down last week in Fremont, California, as she walked with her 3-year-old. While on her way to the elementary school to pick up her other children, a man stepped out of his car and shot her in the head. Alia Ansari died on the sidewalk still clutching the hand of her daughter.

There appears to be no apparent motive for this crime, except for the fact that she was a Muslim woman wearing the traditional hijab (scarf) on her head.

The Afghani Taliban subordinates women to men.
There apostates from religion may be killed.
They do not allow music, theater or art and do not tolerate them for others.
Talibani must pray.

isn't God who has the power of forgiviness, God already can forgive in the old testimony without no one getting killed or sacrificing himself. and bad people are not equal to good people.

and if people still have to repent and ask for forgiviness, then what was the point of jesus death?

From what i read in the bible, the only 'proof' that Adam loved Eve was that he ate from the tree too. Kinda thin proof in my eyes.

The proof that they didn't is in my eyes much larger. The problems their kids had between eachother, is usually a sign of a not so loving family.

Did he truly love Eve, or was it just love by default? If you never have been in love how can you measure it? What did Adam compare love too?

I have asked questions on several screen names about God, his message,his existance, I have many time encountered so many
people trying to convert me into their religion so that I won't burn in hell. I am sorry but I do not think God's message was supposed to be of FEAR but LOVE.So why so many Christians and people of ISLAMIC faith keep giving this distorted message? I believe there is a God and I behave trying to be the best human being I can just becasue I do not have the same set of believes that some religion wants to impose to me I should burn in hell? It just makes no sense.
