Religion & Spirituality - 3 November 2006

For my 13th b-day my gradma gave me this book called The voice of the martyrs & will anyway I never read it intill today I'm 14 now, & I was very bored & had nothing to do so I decied to read it & I have so far just read about one story,it's actually pretty interesting..but will my question is this : How did the Christans "martyrs" become so disillusioned, their minds twisted, and so unenlightened that they were willing to be killed. Also why didn't "God" protect them from this?

I didnt believe-and justified my sin-some say God cant help me chose not to sin-some here say that -it hurts my heart "In marriage the bed is undefiled" Hebrews 13

yes there is pleasure in sin for a season, then we reap what we sowed."

deamons controlled my thinking living in sin-and I decieved myself to saying I was happy& hated those that believed in Jesus and living for him.

the day came I had everything in life as a Jew but I couldnt reject the prophecies of him-or find true inner peace and joy within.

700 bce Isaiah predicted Jesus to die for our sins-"He will be exaulted. First he will be marred more than any man. All we like sheep have gone astray, and our sins will be put on him. He will lay down his life and make an atonement for our sins." Isaiah 52vs13-53vs12
then I found his promise from heaven "Behold I love you, and knock on your heart door to come in deliver from sin and become your friend." Revelation 3vs19&20 and prayed and let him in to save me!
U?

Based on the question I asked before (Now that Ted Haggard has been caught would you say that all Evangelical leaders are gay dopeheads?) why do some people insist on saying that all priests are child molesters.

Notice that I said some people...I realize that there are many out there that do not judge others and that is wonderful, but there are many who do.

Just an observation.

God bless,

Where the whale came from?

Charles Darwin, always ready to come up with a theory about everything, explains how the "monstrous whale" originated:

"In North America the black bear was seen by Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."—*Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species (1859 and 1984 editions), p. 184.

Thats what Darwin thought, So that bear was swimming around out in the ocean all that time, till the change came? Can anyone please answer me this, I can’t seem to figure it out?

"As one creationist pamphlet put it, ‘A frog turning instantaneously into a prince is called a fairy tale, but if you add a few million years, it’s called evolutionary science.’ "—*Op. cit., p. 399.

I am a christian, however, I dont feel like it is right to base our countries foundation on one religion, or one groups beliefs. I personally don't agree with abortion, stem cell (when creating embryos for this purpose, but ok to use embryos that will be destroyed anyway) or assisted suicide (for terminally ill patients); but I also am against forcing religion on others too. Jesus never forced anyone to do or abide by anything.

Jesus said in MATTHEW 24:4 "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you." Jesus was talking about the end times, He was warning us about a great deception thats going to take place. He also mentions that MATTHEW 24:24 "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect." So even the elect shall be decieved, meaning that even His great followers like priests, pastors etc shall be decieved. Then in REVELATION 13:3 "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast." He says that the whole world will follow the beast. In Matthew Jesus talks about a way that seems right to His children, but that way leads to destruction.
My question is this: Is it possible that the whole world is decieved in believing something that is not true, like a false christianity?

The purporters of the principle that every Muslim must intellectually prove Allah's existence to himself (such as Hizb ut Tahrir) often compare the belief of the person born into a muslim family, with the belief of the people of Ibraaheem alaihis salaam who rejected the call of Ibraaheem because they blindly adhered to the religon of their forefathers : " When he (Ibraaheem) said to his father and his people: What are these images to which you are devoted? They said : We found our fathers worshipping them." [ al Anbiyah 21:52-53] Thus they argue, just as the people of Ibraaheem believed in idolatry, blindly, without question, many of us too do not have intellectual but blind and emotional faith in Allah. To support this idea, they will often quote the following verse in soorah Muhammad : " Know that laa ilaaha illallaah" [47:19]. From this verse they deduce that Allah is telling mankind to know ( i.e prove to yourself, rather than just trust in your inherent belief) that Allah exists.

Yes or No, Simple question.
You either believe He can ( Creationist )
or you believe He can't or wouldn't like He said He did in His Words ( Evolutionists ).

Another like question: Can God create a full grown Tree, by merely speaking it into existence, Yes or No

If He can, then why don't you believe Him when He clearly tells us how He created the Earth and everything on it.
If you think He can't, well your just WRONG, its that simple.

In His Holy and Precious Name, Jesus Christ

Here are the two premises on which various theories of evolution are based.

1 - The evolutionary formula for making a universe:
Nothing + nothing = two elements + time = 92 natural elements + time = all physical laws and a completely structured universe of galaxies, systems, stars, planets, and moons orbiting in perfect balance and order.

2 - The evolutionary formula for making life:
Dirt + water + time = living creatures.

Evolutionists theorize that the above two formulas can enable everything about us to make itself—with the exception of man-made things, such as automobiles or buildings. Complicated things, such as wooden boxes with nails in them, require thought, intelligence, and careful workmanship. But everything else about us in nature (such as hummingbirds and the human eye) is declared to be the result of accidental mishaps, random confusion, and time. You will not even need raw materials to begin with. They make themselves too.

Am I correct in stating the above? Is it logical? Are these theories truly scientific keeping in mind that for a scientific theory to be proven it must be observed, tested and possible to recreate? If evolutionists believe in such theories, isn’t evolution classified as a religion?

Because There Is So Much Sin In Our Would We Sometimes Asume That Since God Has Total Control On Everything That Happens On Earth, God Is Bad, Or Really Dosn't Exist. We Think Things Like: Is God Capable Of Ridding Evil And Dosn't Want To, Or Does He Want To But Can't, Or Did He Die A Long Time Ago And Left Behind A Disgusting World Of Sin, Hate, And Evil. But The Truth Is, God IS REAL! We Can't Say That He Is Good Or Bad. Bad Is When You Beak A Rule, And Good Is When You Follow One. But God Has No Laws To Follow Because He Is At The Top Of Everything That Exists. If A House Has Termites, Does It Mean It Had No Architect. If Earth Has Sin Does It Mean It Has No God. After Reading This Tell Me What You Thought Of All Of It All And I'll Give You Ten Points!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could God be adressing his people metaphorically so that everyonne would interpret it differently and if God is adressing us literally then the Bible seems full of disasters and catastrophies as the "parted sea" and the sun shining from the west instead of the east or the day becoming dark...etc.
