Religion & Spirituality - 16 November 2006

I heard it at a friends house today. She said it was about something in the Bible. What part? I don't remember reading about this.

Here's a few lyrics:

"The Clouds will part and the sky craps open and god will reach his ****ing arm down, just to hold you down. Back in the beginning, sinking, swimming."

thanks in advance.

i've often wondered, do you look at Germans differently? Do you wonder if it was HIM( who pushed your mother/sister into the chamber) who revealed you, who you could trust?
I have a German girlfreind who's uncle was shot by Russian troops. I know that doesn't make her evil... but aren't there those who lived through the war still likley to justify their thinking?
And if so, what about my great grandmother, who sent all 4 boys to war w/Canada, and all 4 came back?

Is anyone else tired of seeing simple questions answered with 4 pages of quotes from the bible or somewhere else. I maybe read the first paragraph and skip the rest. In my opinion, writing these long answers is a waste.

for my ancestral religious ceremonies? i am a navajo but i just heard on PBS about hogans for the first time :) how crazy is that.
i never did learn about my ancestars religions just about what i wanted to know about others religions but now i found out that wicca the religion i originally based my religoius beliefs on is quite similliar to navajo and i think i will base my religion on my ancestars religion :) i can honor them and have an ancient religion that is truley my own :) so do you think this is a good idea and also about the hogan? and i just want to clear something up i am only asking your oppinions about this, i do not need you to tell me what i can and connot do but what you have to say will sway my final choice either way but in the end it WILL be up to me. i just wanted to make that clear so that you wont have to tell me that it is up to me, because i already know:)

I was at a bible class and we were intructed to close our eyes and visualize walking up the hill during Jesus speaking the Sermon on the Mount.
We were to ask him any question we wanted when we reached the top of the hill.
When I did this I asked, as suggested by the instructor what He had to tell me.
my vision was that of Jesus turning His head on me.
he looked like He acknowledged me but didn't want to look at me.
Everyone else had tons of stuff Jesus told them.
I feel so strange about this .
please give input.
I would ask you to do the same meditation, but suspect you'd have better results.
ps I believe in Jesus, have faith and am for good.

The apostles were the first Bishops. 12 is a very important number because it represents the 12 tribes of Israel which Jesus said the 12 apostles will judge at the 2nd coming of Jesus.

If only 1 of the 12 Apostles had been a female, then the Pope would not have any problem with having female priests. But, guess what? Jesus (God Himself) only chose men for the appointment. The women were followers, but they were not the same as the apostles.

questions about bringing others to Christ or why people reject the word of God and Jesus that people that are not christians have to come on there and be rude and put down what we believe? I dont hear that coming out of a christian to a buddist or a musslem or something like that.

~I respect you and your beliefs. I dont nessarely beleive in them but I respect it. Why dont you respect mine too? What did I do? What did Jesus do? God? Other Christians?

Although what follows may fairly be interpreted to be a proof of the non-historicity of Jesus, it must be realized that the burden of proof does not rest upon the skeptic in this matter. As always is the case, the burden of proof weighs upon those who assert that some thing or some process exists. If someone claims that he never has to shave because every morning before he can get to the bathroom he is assaulted by a six-foot rabbit with extremely sharp teeth who trims his whiskers better than a razor - if someone makes such a claim, no skeptic need worry about constructing a disproof. Unless evidence for the claim is produced, the skeptic can treat the claim as false. This is nothing more than sane, every-day practice.

It may be conceded that it is not surprising that there are no coins surviving from the first century with the image of Jesus on them. Unlike Tiberius Cæsar and Augustus Cæsar who adopted him, Jesus is not thought to have had control over any mints. Even so, we must point out that we do have coins dating from the early first century that bear images of Tiberius that change with the age of their subject. We even have coins minted by his predecessor, Augustus Cæsar, that show Augustus on one side and his adopted son on the other. 1 Would Mr. Wright have us believe that these coins are figments of the imagination? Can we be dealing with fig-mints?

I don't want my daughter to end up being brainwashed by my husband, his church, or his family. I think I have her on the right track by encouraging reading and love of the outdoors. What else can I do to keep her mind curious for real answers?

Despite of because of we only have one place to stay that is earth and because of the Tower of Babel and all those religious opinions, is there any other suggestion?
(I purposely put only three criterias for such are the most general and they cover all.)

Yes I converted from Christianity to Paganism (I am using this as a blanket term not as the name of my religion), and I have herd this line more than once, and not just to my question, but also as an answer to other questions: "There is hope for you. You can be saved. Jesus died for your sins." or something to that effect. Why answer a question that is TOTALY not asking about that with kind of a statment? It just kind of eritates the asker and those who are genuinely trying to answer the question.

The Catholic Church will never have females for priests because Jesus showed by His example that the 12 Apostles (the first bishops) should be all male. And because Jesus is God, His wisdom is as far above ours as the heavens are above the earth. It also says in the bible that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

But, why do people single out the Catholic Church for this criticism when Muslims don't have female Muslim Clerics?

is it because jesus was nonviolent, nonresistant, compassionate, and lived simply; and the jews were looking for somone like king david, who fought in wars and killed and belived in an eye for an eye, and someone who was materially wealthy with a lot of political power.

please help me understand?
