Religion & Spirituality - 10 December 2006

You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep seated need to believe.

1 Timothy 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temtation and a snare. and into many foolish and hurtful lusts. and drown men in destruction and perdition.
Right above that it says with substance of covering you should be content with these things. While there is nothing wrong with having money it sounds like it would be harder to be a christian?
Isn't it harder on movie stars and captains of Industry or politicians to be a good Christian. Seems even religious leaders who are rich have a lot of trouble staying out of trouble or is it just me?

in science as solid factual truth? I could be wrong but it seems as if atheists base their beliefs on science in which is impossible to be ultimate truth. If you do in fact put your trust in science why? Everything that speaks of how the world began and even how long we've been here, and where we come from are "THEORIES" Why put so much trust in a theory?

I really want solid answers not ignorant response's

On their necklace or other jewelry, does that make them automatically christian or do some atheists/agnostics/etc wear it simply because it looks good?

Ok here goes... Ever since 2nd grade every 4 years I have a dream that tells me who's going to be the president of the US. I have deja- vu nearly every day at least twice a day. I can see angels, demons, and other spirits. I've been attacked by demons and/or evil spirits about three times. and I've seen a couple of miracles take place. Tell me... am I going crazy?? please help!!!

additional details:
I am 18, and a catholic (which could explain a lot). And some of this is realy starting to frighten me bc I'm not exactly sure what's happening and why it's happening to me.

If some good evidence for life after death were announced, I'd be eager to examine it; but it would have to be real scientific data, not mere anecdote....

My friend got caught up in the Wicca thing right after we graduated from high school. That was 8 years ago. He just recently accepted Jesus as his savior, but I have concerns he will still be influenced by his past associations (namely his wife). Is there a good book for a new Christian that will teach him where to start in the Bible and has practical guidance as well?

Is it really that hard for ya'll to understand the concept of faith?From some of the things I see ya'll say; it seems like faith is like calculus or triganometry to ya'll.It just goes completely over your heads.

Is it really that hard to grasp the concept of faith?

Hebrews 11:1-Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Now the word substance refers to what something is made up of; example:water,water is made up of 2 parts Hydrogen and 1 part Oxygen. In the same way substance of a prayer refers to everything you want,need,or hope to get from God."Evidence of things not yet seen.";although you dont see what you're praying for yet, you must continue to believe that God is going to fullfill your prayer/request.

Hebrews 11:6-But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Again, what's hard to uderstand about faith?

Remember, Islam was created during the 26 battles Muhammad fought in, and ever since those wars that created Islam, Islam has been at war. In fact, today, almost all conflict in the world is Islamic.

If we took a time machine back a into time, you would find people complaining about the Muslims at war everywhere in the world. Depending on the time period, the complaint would be about the Ottomans or the Ummayd or Abasyd, or the invading armies of Muhammad himself

Of course, the Quran is unparralled in savagery. Not only are there countless commands to murder hate and beleaguer unbelievers, the Quran doesnt even want Muslims to love anyone. Never is love, for any but Allah, ever mentioned or inferred.

So help me. Imagine the most savage warlord you can muster in your mind. Now, he makes up a religion. Contrast it, if you can, to Islam.

I've heard Assyrian, which is completly ridiculous because we were the first group of people to Christianity and are the most humble and religious people alive. What do you think?

I just bought a very expensive and nice copy of the Qu'ran for a friend. My question is can you wrap it in a box with wrapping paper? Or would it be best just to keep it stored and then give it to them without the wrapping? I don't want to disrespect the book or do anything that would offend someone as this is beyond sacred book!

It seems like the answers based on scripture and sound Christian doctrine get less thumbs up and the pagan ones always have their supporters giving props to their answers. Are the Christians too caught up in their own opinions to support someone else's answer?
