Religion & Spirituality - 7 December 2006

I don't know of anyone else that's attended regularly. I know NancyB posted a similar question, but I would love to hear more from regular attendees about what the events were like this summer. I will be going to the December events next week and wanted to catch up on past ones. Thanks!!!

Why do you believe on faith only, and make your decision based on one source, which is the Bible? To me, it's sort of like making a major purchase or investment. I certainly wouldn't buy a house without making sure I knew it from the inside and out, and if It had a shaky foundation I wouldn't buy it, nor would I invest in a market without getting several opinions from different sources. Why is something as important as your soul any different?

Why do you bother me with your religion...?

Why? I don't care to hear it, why do you insist? Do you think I am going to change my mind after you pester me non-stop?

I honestly respect all your beliefs, but YOU have to respect that I do not want to hear it.
Explain yourselves.

Muslims, I've heard that another prophet is coming that is the "Messiah"-type prophet & that he will reign for seven years. Is this something that is expected in Islamic teaching?

Like, if you never leave your small town for example, and only read a couple books, and have a group of family and friends that believe the exact way as yourself, will you just be that person?

Is the only way to gather and become more of yourself to face consequences or confrontations?

Do you still believe that black people are inferior because they did not side with Jesus when Elohim had a council to determine if Jesus or Lucifer would go down to redeem man? If not, when did that view change?

As a Muslim- I love Jesus. I think about Jesus, and I respect him as one of the greatest souls who was ever on the Earth. I believe him to be a miracle (birthed by no man)
Do Christians know how much we revere him? We do not worship him, but we believe in him and respect him.
Because I always hear Muslims are anti-christ. And in my heart I know that that is very wrong. What do you think?

lives on eternally if they exist through a certain brand of worship to one of numerous and differing gods and religious forms. Is your understanding we, as a species cannot get along otherwise?

I realize that Islam dosnt care what i feel but why would anyone want to be part of this religion. and why is there no clear consensus from the clerics what it means to truly follow islam.

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Residents of a southern Somalia town who do not pray five times a day will be beheaded, an Islamic courts official said Wednesday, adding the edict will be implemented in three days.

Public places such as shops and tea houses in Bulo Burto, about 124 miles northeast of the capital, Mogadishu, should be closed during prayer time and no one should be on the streets, said Sheik Hussein Barre Rage, the chairman of the town's Islamic court.

Those who do not follow this edict "will definitely be beheaded according to Islamic law," Rage told The Associated Press by phone. "As Muslims, we should practice Islam fully, not in part, and that is what our religion enjoins us to do."

Like, I don't want to be wrong about choosing the wrong religion, so I've developed, created if you will, alter egos, with different religious backwards. One favorite is Muhoud, who is a devout muslim, and then of course Henry, a devout Christian, and my eccentric Winterbranch, who is wiccan. I figure I'm covering all my bases with the different versions of Gods by doing this...

Good idea?

Please read

The Holy Quran : Chapter: 22 (Al-Hajj), Verse:18
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:18] As to those who believe, and the Jews and the Sabians, and the Christians, and the Magians and the idolaters; verily, Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Surely, Allah watches over all things.

The Holy Quran : Chapter: 2 (Al-Baqarah), Verse:63
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2:63] Surely, those who believe and the Jews and the Christians and the Sabians - whichever party from among these truly believes in Allah and the Last Day and does good deeds, shall have their reward with their Lord, and no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve.

Does your religion tell you others that do not have the same belief as yours can Enter heaven. These 2 verses should make you question your belief in islam and the Quran. Open your heart, read the Quran not to become muslim just to understand islam.

And in this verse you will see what you think about your holy books. Next time you Insult the prophet or the Quran think of these verse

The Holy Quran : Chapter: 3 (Al-`Imran), Verse:4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[3:4] He has sent down to thee the Book containing the truth and fulfilling that which precedes it; and He has sent down the Torah and the Gospel before this, as a guidance to the people; and He has sent down the Discrimination.

The Holy Quran : Chapter: 5 (Al-Ma'idah), Verse:45
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[5:45] Surely, We sent down the Torah wherein was guidance and light. By it did the Prophets, who were obedient to US, judge for the Jews, as did the godly people and those learned in the Law, because they were required to preserve the Book of Allah, and because they were guardians over it. Therefore fear not men but fear ME; and barter not My signs for a paltry price. And whoso judges not by that which Allah has sent down, these it is who are the disbelievers.

The Holy Quran : Chapter: 5 (Al-Ma'idah), Verse:47
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[5:47] And We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow in their footsteps, fulfilling that which was revealed before him in the Torah; and We gave him the Gospel which contained guidance and light, fulfilling that which was revealed before him in the Torah; and a guidance and an admonition for the God-fearing

Do you suppose that they DON'T KNOW THAT THEY CAN BE FORGIVEN?

(1Co 6:9) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

(1Co 6:10) Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

(1Corinthians 6:11) And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

(Hebrews 9:14) How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

GOD WAS SEEKING YOU, LONG BEFORE YOU LOOKED FOR HIM!

(Hos 10:12) Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

I am a Catholic. I would very much like to believe in the Rapture because I don't want to be around when the Tribulation hits town. I'm just asking my friends in the Protestant camp, can you pull out any Scriptures that establish the Rapture? I believe 100% in the Scriptures. I only want Protestants or Catholics (Orthodox are welcome as well!) to answer this question -- strictly no scoffers -- but I don't want to get into any kind of a debate about the rights and wrongs or truth or falsehood of my religion and fundamentalist Christianity. By the way, as it stands, I don't believe in the Rapture. I believe in the Warning and in the Sign in the sky. Can any of our "separated brethren" (!) convince me, with Scriptural evidence, to believe in a (pre-trib?) Rapture of just Christians?
