I got an email from a guy who was upset with an answer I gave him on his question. After a while of emailing back and forth I made a comment of his muslim faith ( just to make him mad I don't really hate all muslims I have friends that r muslim ). He called me racist. I thought being racist was about skin colour not religon. Do u agree?

This is NOT preaching or evangelism. I am pasting this because I ran across it in my studies and found it absolutely fascinating.

-----------------
"Even I, who am unborn, imperishable, the Lord of all beings, controlling my own nature, take birth with the quality of human nature.

Whenever there is a decline of righteousness and spread of unrighteousness, I create myself.

I take birth in every era, to encourage good, to destroy evil, and to re-establish righteousness.

He who understands my divine birth and actions, and deny their selves, are able to reach me, and need not be born into the world again.

Those who are free from passion, fear and anger, and devote their lives to me and become full of me, purified by my spiritual wisdom, have attained my condition and become part of me again."
------------------

This is from the Hindu "Bible". How does the remarkable similarity between this passage and our understanding of Jesus's conception make you feel?

O.k so I wrote a sincere question..and some people are
accusing me, of needing medication, that I was ranting ( please note that not tell the end did I myself say I few words, the rest of my "rant" I was quoting Jesus from the Bible) & that I was insulting them!!! And all I was basically asking was : If those verses do apply to you, then why aren't you obeying them? And if you think that they don't apply to you then what exactly DOES APPLY TO YOU IN THE BIBLE??? ( becuase it dosn't seem like much!!)
Also note that some said yes & some said no..some "truth" their Bible is!! Oh and especially take note of what "Sernaah" & "Randy C" wrote!!!!!! Now can you see one reason why I'm an atheist?? Oh & also do you think I said anything rude?!!

Saved is a word ending an action.
like after a car accident, somebody get saved......
In Christianity , they claim that they are saved !!!
so all the people who don't accept Jesus as son of God are<..?...>
can this be possible even if they didn't die yet?
how about if he is saved and commit suicide then he is <...?...>

so saved is a term used for the day of judgement the last day not our days.

In Islam nobody claim that he is saved , and nobody can say that you are not.

u have a good friend who i have known for almost my whole life. when i was 12 he gave me my first kiss. since then we have just been great friends but have always loved each other, but maintained our obligations to our religion.

about a month or two ago he approached me with the idea of getting married. he didnt propose... he just asked me if how i felt about this idea. i told him i definitely wasnt opposed but since i am only 18 and he is only 20 we should think about it a little bit more first.

two weeks from that i found out he slept with a someone on one of his business trips. he recently smoked weed. and also, he says that he has come close to having sexual relations with another man.

he claims that he was in a state of depression (both of his parents passed away recently) and that is the only reason these things happened. he is very sorry and wants to make a life together and do right by me.

does anyone think there is anything left to salvage here?

I heard that we are not suposed to put someone in the front or a church who does not know or has no doctrine, but what does the bible say about that? is there a verse that tells us the preacher is suposed to have some tipe of school or knowledge? I would like to have scriptures that show me that going to school for ministry is the best way to go. Thank you

When we discuss about Karma and ask why we experience such and such sufferings in the present life, we'll always get the answer that it all has to do with our previous Karma. Good or bad our present life, it'll always be because of our past Karma and nothing else. We suffer in this present life because we created bad Karma in the past. If it's not our bad Karma, then it'll be the Karma of the land, country, etc that we're living on. Study buddhist teachings and that's all the answer you'll get. It sounds like we are the creator of Karma and nothing else. This gives rise to the delusion that creating good Karma will actually give us the immunity to all kinds of sufferings as long as we don't create bad Karma. Well, then what about the Karma that others beside us create? Doesn't the Karma that we experience in this life includes the Karma that's created by others as well? Now that's where the mistake of modern Buddhist teachings lie.

It's teachings of Karma indirectly create the notion that we're some sort of the center of the universe, that all the Karma we ever experienced and will experience were, are and will always be from our own doing and no one else's other than our own. It dismisses the fact that all this while we also experienced Karma created by others. Now just because a person never create bad Karma doesn't mean he/she will never experience bad Karma by others. What is Karma, really? Karma is simply cause and effect. But buddhist teachings taught about good and bad Karma. Now where do good and bad Karma dwell if not in our mind? Good and bad, right and wrong, tall and short, beautiful and ugly, etc are existent only in our mind and this world of dualistic nature is no other than our own self/mind-projected world. There is Karma of cause and effect but there's no good or bad Karma. Consider this, you slap a person and Karma is created. But what's the effect? Your hand feeling pain after the slapping is the immediate effect. On the other hand, you may see the other person getting angry and slap you back as the real Karmic effect. But what if this person forgives and ignores you? Then you'll bother yourself by thinking that this person will one day return to you in your next life and return the bad favor. And I'll say that's just your biased imagination. When you slapped that person, your hand will feel pain and Karma is done. If that person slaps you back, Karma is also done. If he/she forgives and ignores you, Karma is also done. But the immediate Karmic effect will still be your hand feeling pain.

Karma isn't like bank account where we will have good Karma when there's surplus and bad Karma when there's deficit and everything is still about the past, even when the future comes. The real Karma doesn't accumulate. It comes and goes purely and naturally just like that without discrimination. What's effect from a cause is also a cause to another. Only the good and bad Karma that exist in our self/mind-projected world can accumulate and discriminate. They accumulate and discriminate because of our anger, hatred, attachment, desire, etc. If a person slaps us and we ignore it, Karma is done and it's that simple. But usually that's not the case. Instead we become angry and feel vengeful and keep on reminding ourselves to pay back the favor. While that slapping Karma cause-and-effect was long gone, our vengeful nature cause us to "carry" forward and create another new set of Karma by slapping that person "back" when the opportunity comes in the future. And if that person is also as vengeful as us, then a long string of conflict will take hold until one of us stop this slapping silliness. All in all, in other words just because we never create bad Karma doesn't mean we'll have the immunity to any sort of sufferings or bad Karma created by others. When we understand this very well, we'll be able to understand why some times good deeds were repaid with bad outcomes.

Then you might ask if that's really true, then doesn't that mean creating evil (murdering, cheating, stealing, etc) will not get us into bad Karma as long as we're smart enough to recognize and find ways to avoid it? Honestly, I'll say yes. And honestly, I'll also say that those who truly understand what I've written thus far will start to see a big part of Reality and instead of committing evil, they'll commit good as a new way of life for different reason. Why? That is because everyone is inherently good in nature. A person may steal/kill/rape/etc because he ignorantly believes that stealing/killing/raping/etc is the only way of getting the good that he wants. That's why he did evil, or else he won't. No wise person will commit evil when he clearly know that's evil. Only the ignoramus and the foolish will, but only because they are ignoramus and foolish. When we realize these well, only then will we finally be able to take control of our life and destiny un-encumbered by external influences. Before this, we'll do good when we're happy, satisfied, contented, peace, etc. And we'll do bad when we're sad, dissatisfied, discontented, chaos, etc. But only after realizing the real truth and nature of what Karma really is, will we be able to take control of our life and destiny. And our life and destiny will revolve around goodness, the true and honest goodness that will continue to prevail even in the midst of happiness and sadness, light and darkness, peace and chaos.

A person by the name Kent M. Keith developed a very powerful commandments that I believe is blessed by God. And his commandments go like this...
1. People're illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
2. If you do good, people'll accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway.
3. If you're successful, you'll win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.
4. The good that you do today'll be forgiven tomorrow. Do good anyway.
5. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.
6. ... (until no. 10.)

And I believe his commandments are the closest to the goodness that I've mentioned, a goodness that is the real function of life regardless of how our life turns out and most importantly, regardless of how our Karma turns out. With that realization in mind, we'll finally be the Master of our own destiny. And this is wisdom.

This is not a question and if you've read this far, I say thank you to you.

the reason behind this question is that I think according to Revelation of Jonh or Daniel or Ezekiel that the Jews will inherit will come back to Israel and Israel is will be a nation before the coming of Christ is that right I need to look up the verses but Israel became a nation in May of 1948 and gained control in1967 then Christ should be coming soon right
