Religion & Spirituality - 6 November 2006

I have realized recently the Buddhism is the way to self and spiritual enlightenment. I have very basic knowledge of meditation from a beginners class, but can any Buddhists share their techniques for deeper meditation? Where would you suggest I go on my quest to further my meditation.

Please, I ask no one that follows a different path to respond. Please be courteous. I do not need to know that you are not a Buddhist.

Are you telling me that a black angel named Lucifer was second in command in heaven, or was he white when he was good.

which happens to coincide with the very first year evolution was taught in schools? Only one logical explanation,people finally found a way to leave God out of the equation,meaning they could live their lives as they chose to with no answering to ( they think) to a Higher Being.

$5000 or 5000 prayers?

If you accept $5000 over 5000 prayers, you're not a true Christian and you have to burn the bible in front of millions to get the money

If you take the 5000 prayers, you get to go home broke but you get a certificate for being a true Christian

I've seen spirits several times. I've seen some dressed in all white, and some dressed in regular clothes, and some are in form of shadows. What does that mean?

Ok, so on my last Jesus question I recieved varying answers. I had heard of the trinity thing and it kind of does not make sense, explain please. So Jesus was God in a human form. Does that mean he pretended to die? and when he 'died' he was resurrected to...himself?

Matthew 3:16
As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him.
What does this verse mean? Jesus saw himself lighting upon himself?
Thanks

I under the process totally i speak in tongues my self i was just curious to see what people thought and i do believe that the church is dead without it i'm in a apostolic ministry as well for i know that its not wrong to speak in tongues and that every believer should for it edtifies the soul and is warfare against the enemy i also know that if your in church and the Pastor is preaching and someone to say gets up and interups the service by speaking in tongues better be able to interpert and if you can't or don'd have a prophet there to interpert it thats where believeres go wrong thats what Paul was indicating. Thats all.

Would it not make sense for everyone to practise the rituals of every religion in the world? We should all bow towards Mecca 5 times a day, celebrate mass, not offend fijjian Sea-monsters, pray to Odin and Thor and so on.

Surely that is the reductio ad absurdum of Pascals Wager, how can we know which religion is correct?

Christians dont give a damn about God(which is fake)

Their belief is completely selfishly motivated

Believe that atheists are devil-worshippers?
Nowhere is there a definition for atheism that says 'worships the devil'.
The only definition I am aware of is that atheists believe in no gods.
We don't even believe in the devil.
I have always thought that the belief in the devil would be called satanism.
Please correct me if I am mistaken.

My Catholic friend "Kelly", asked me this question, and I do NOT know how to get around it, for the life of me! I asked my pastor, and he couldn't answer either.

If the Bible is the sole source of authority for Christians, then where in the Bible is the list of the books/letters that are inspired?

She says (and I did research on it. It's true) that there were hundreds of documents written such as the Gospel of Peter, the letter of Clement, and so forth. The early Christians disputed about which books were inspired until the Catholic Church made an official canon of the Bible in 393 and 397 A.D. in the councils of Hippo and Carthage. She tells me, then, that the Catholic Church alone has the authority to interpret the Bible because the Bible is a Catholic book!

I could not believe my ears, so I researched it, and found her history accurate. I have always been taught that all we need to do is pray to the Holy Spirit to help us interpret the Bible. Help me!
