Religion & Spirituality - 15 December 2006

I am a Christian, but any Christmas theme relates to Christ and violates the seperation of chuch and state. I know that having a Christmas related item on display in a government building doesn't make that country only Christian, but, at the same time, its symbolic of that. Be a Christian, and be it loudly, but keep it out of the government or some one within that government will abuse the glory of Christ for their benefit by saying that everything they're doing is ordained by Christ. That's what happened in the Middle Ages. The Catholic church back then was a political institution, not a church. This is what I think, though. What about you?

This is a true story. I just got back from a business trip. On the way to my first destination the plane was delayed and pretty much everything went wrong. We ended up stuck in a holding pattern circling over a rather interesting looking power plant. I was getting tired and bored and the plane was very uncomfortable... I grew tired of looking at the power plant so i opened the book i had with me and started reading. I had only begun reading when all of a sudden the captain came on the intercom and told us that we were coming out of holding and would arive at our destination shortly....

What book do you think i started reading when just before this fortunate turn of events?

Does end of the law mean - to end the law, as in to end slavery. Or does it mean it is at the end of a list of laws, or what else could it mean?

"To have faith" - to have (exercise) faith in what? That Jesus is our saviour, or to have faith that Jesus' messages are true, surely this verse is referring to a specific thing or message to have faith in.

Of course it is good to have faith in both. But what does this verse mean when it says to have faith?

You scholars are exempt. but you are so rare. the rest of you are so pathetic when you babble with your rumors of "what it is all about." You are the victims of your Abrahamic false religions. You crave what you are taught to crave. So you are not hapby during you brief tenure on earth not like a dog or a shark. Just follow your bliss gentle soul.

Maybe I'm wrong on this, but in Canada they're taking down the Christmas in the City Hall because of complaints from other religions that goes against them.
I say, if you don't like the customs, don't come to the country.
Why should they be respected when these religions come to us and don't respect us?

I recently watched a spcial program that came up with that information based a a computer study. the year was off by 6 years and the only very bright star in the heavens at that time was the planet Saturn. Anybody else have anything to add to that statement, it did sound logical the way it was computed.

My answers to questions about Jehovah's Witnesses have been removed from this site, why? How does an opposing view threaten Jehovah's Witnesses? Do they have the truth so any other viewpoints must be deleted as false? Open forum questions can be answered by anyone, correct? Why then did my answer to a question "JWs Only" get removed? What exactly do they fear if they have the truth? Wouldn't a strong faith stand up to the test? Wouldn't opposing views be welcomed as the truth would always win? How does removing non-JW oriented answers prove their beliefs? Please help me understand how to get an answer removed just because I don't like it. is that correct procedure on this site? How do oppposing views violate Yahoo Terms? Or does Yahoo remove an answer just because it is flagged? Is this a self-policing forum like craigslist? I won't remove any answers I get to this question.

I am suffering greatly from a failing heart after a MASSIVE heart attack. it happened only cause a car struck me and I went into cardiac shock with heavy blood loss. Prior to that - I managed not badly - even with blocked arteries & heart irregularities. Now even if I did bypass ( I have no insurance) it costs $150K & I was told that even that will never bring back the dead heart muscle from the attack. So why Bother????

I want to ask any and all devout Christians - like myself -who love & serve Our Lord Jesus as King & God -to pray for me whatever that you are able to - ask Jesus to be merciful on me and improve my heart function. I don't want to live forever - only I beg a reprieve from Jesus to ease my symptoms which torment me. the doctors consider me in critical shape since the attack. I can barely walk or climb stairs anymore without gasping. Yet I managed well prior to the accident. Please pray for me - Our Lord permits Himself to be persuaded by prayers.!!! Thanks

God doubted his own existence and wanted to see himself, so he decided to create water to reflect his image. He created water and looked upon it, but he did not see anything. He said to water, ‘’Water, I’ve created you for the purpose of reflecting my image, don’t you know your purpose?’’ Water said it needs dust to reflect his image. Then he created dust and threw it into water. He looked at the water and did not see anything, so he said, ‘’Dust, I’ve created you for the purpose of combining with water and reflect my image, don’t you know your purpose? The dust said it’s not to be seen without light. So God created light and looked at the water, he still didn’t see anything, then he said, ‘’Light, I have created you for the purpose of shining upon water and dust to reflect my image,
