Religion & Spirituality - 20 November 2006

Reasoning: if God has a male appendage then for what purpose is it used. If it is not used then why does he have it? On the other hand if God does not have a male appendage why does he not have it. Either he has been castrated - A Castrated God? or else he never had one to begin with so then why is he constantly referred to as "HE"? A male without a male appendage is not a male at all.

Any Intelligent answers to this question? Please don't cop out by saying God is not a human being, we already know that.

Jesus said, "When you are born of flesh, you are flesh. And when you are
born of spirit, you are spirit! Just like the wind blows, and you can hear it but not see it, and it goes where it wants to go!"
That describes no "Born Again" I know!
Don't get me wrong. If it gives you strength. MORE POWER TO IT!
But when will the church stop making a whole religion out of ONE verse? And
then shove it down our throats, like we HAVE to do it?
Don't they realize they turn more people away from God, than to Him that way?
Our spirits came from Heaven, and when we "die" they return to heaven. UNLESS, one rejects it!

I have had HORRIBLE experiences with church phonies that I just do not want to talk about.Please do not tell me to try another church, I have tried several and had problems at all of them from nosy people to people taking advantage of me or my family.

Isaiah predicted that he would come "Unto us a child is born, a son is given, and he will be the wonderful counselor, the Amighty God, the everlating father and the Prince of peace."

Isaiah 52 predicted he would also be a light to the gentiles.

the miracle came the way I see it in Acts 11:18 "Then hath Goid also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life."

well what is your opinion-I have come to know Messiah Jesus as a Jew as the God Almighty Isaiah predicted, and my best friend as he promised in Revelation 3vs19&20 "I LOVE YOU, AND ASK YOU TO REPENT AND TURN TO ME. BEHOLD I STAND AT YOUR HEART DOOR AND KNOCK TO COME IN, IF YOU ASK ME TO COME IN, I WILL BE YOUR FRIEND."

Muhammad was an illiterate trader that had a bad childhood and adulthood. He allegedly had "revelations" in a cave. He was later told by someone who wasn't there and did not hear the voice, that it must be the Angel Gabriel.

Years after the death of Muhammad, Uthman formed a committee to write a final version of the Quran. His committee destroyed any copies (even those written during the time of Muhammad - including allegedly Muhammad's wife's copy which is known as the Omar copy) that they disagreed with.

So all the world has left is what Uthman claims that Muhammad said - nothing else.

So are the Muslims honoring/worshipping the wrong person?

I can undertsand if people disagree with other religions, but to say that it's wrong? I feel that religion is a personal thing and you bashing it, when I'm pretty sure you probably know net to nothing about me or my religion of choice, isn't going to make me convert.

It's just so frustrating because people buy into these sweeping generalizations and stereotypes that just aren't all true.

I may not agree with some of your religions views either, but I respect them and the fact that they are different. I don't go down to that level of sorta having a 'religion superiority complex'. Sometimes I just don't understand people....

That the theory of intelligent design is a serious scientific alternative to the Darwinian theory of evolution is supported by 30.6 percent of professors at the community college teaching level.

Born-again Christians are not only to be found at religiously-affiliated institutions however, though they are present there in greater numbers. 17 percent of professors at secular schools describe themselves as born-again Christians, as compared to 29.6 percent at religiously-affiliated schools.

At elite doctoral institutions however, the numbers are significantly smaller

Professors who are born-again are extremely rare at elite doctoral institutions, composing only about one percent of professors at such institutions,

The study from which the above data was obtained was done by two sociologists, Neil Gross of Harvard University and Solon Simmons of George Mason University.

So going up an apparent quality scale of faculty at differing accademic levels of teaching institutions it appears that Christian Born Again Professors are employed substantially less and less the higher the school's accademic standards.

Is this anti Born Again secular predjudice or .....?

If they are paying their Tithes and using part of the money they receive to build the kingdom of God, feed the hungry, give children school supplies and to support missionaries, why can't they have nice houses and cars and clothes? Are Christians supposed to be poor?

To all catholics, its time to ask a question.
I ask sincerely, out of completely good intention.
Do priests/other catholics encourage you to read God's word?

Do you?

Did you do so fully?

Here is a life changing verse: John 3:16.

If this is bashing, then i dont know what isnt.

Before they even know about it? I've only seen 2% of the people talk about it that seem to know anything beyond the stuff told to them by their church. At least learn about it before you comment. (secofentrance.com)
