Religion & Spirituality - 25 December 2006

Do they believe that god is somehow weakened by disbelief and can't help us adequately unless the vast majority prays to him? It really seems like they do. People say god let's things happen because we've turned our backs on him. Recently the pope has pleaded that we turn away from technology and back to god. It seems that he insinuated that if we all turn back to god somehow starvation and war will be a thing of the past. This makes no sense to me, unless he things that god needs prayer as a sort of food to have strenth enough to battle the evils of this world... Is this what Christians believe?

On a realted note i guarantee that even if every man, woman, and child on this earth believed in god 100% and prayed to him atleast once daily we would still have all of the problems we have today.

We will all be around for an eternity, some in God's paradise, some in outer darkness. We have a promise of a new body and a perfect mind.

Revelation 21:3 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:

In a new body, you won't become fatigued. I can't understand people that say they will become bored. With new heavens, who knows what awaits us. There will be enought time to be everything you ever wanted, an Artist, Musician, Writer, you name it.

How would you become bored? Do you not enjoy life?

Jesus Christ said in the book of John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. kjv Holy Bible

Don't you want life, and have it more abundantly now and forever?

Ezekiel 13:18
Then it says: "And make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls" Then further down in verse 20 "Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly."
Could any church people explain this? Also, I appreciate replies from scholars.

(Please stick to the King James version, if possible, cause the other versions sometimes leave things out.)

Heaven&spirits are real. If u don't believe my story, I don't care! As long I no its true.

On 1-26-05, me & my family ere watchin the Village. I went to use the bathroom, and when I came back, Mom and my uncle Tony looked like they'd just seen a ghost. They told me they heard 3steps on the porch and a shadow linger on the porch bench fer a moment. I thot of burgulars and I was FREAKED out! (I was barely 11 @ the time) Tony went outside 2his trailer (in our backyard) to make me feel better. Well, then me, mom, and Phil (JR) and Sis (6)
(phil and sis didnt know anything) were watchin the scary movie. 10 minutes later, me & MOM HEARD 3 STEPS N KITCHEN! (chills) my only thot was "Phillip''. Me and mom knew but dint say nething. The next day, (1/27/06) Dad droped me back off at mom's. I was so stupid that I actually WENT IN (alone) & watched tv for 45 minutes! I got scared (felin watched) & ran outside2 Tony's.

Interesting programme on Channel 4 that states that Jesus had 4 brother and 2 sisters. The church mafia tried to rub out all mention of James and the Jesus family church. Also came up with a story that Mary was Joseph's second wife and remained a virgin all her life (yeah, right!) - the siblings were therefore half brothers and sisters. All sounds rather like the bible, made up and altered to suit the church as they went along. What is the opinion of the religious lot about this?

In other words, how do you put a face on something that is aware of everything and is everywhere at once?

I know JesusChrist is the same as Jesus Christ, right? But in spanish is a different story.

In spanish language, Jesus is, of cource, Jesús. And Jesus Christ is, in spanish, Jesucristo.

Anyways, I have someone telling me that people shouldn't be baptized in the name of Jesucristo (in spanish culture) because is missing an s.

Jesus Christ in spanish is missing an s.

Jesu_cristo . Do you see it?

What do you think about this? I know that in English is no problem but, unfortunately, in spanish it is a problem. Well, only to this person who told me. This person said that it is an error of the translators. That it shouldn't be Jesucristo but Jesús Cristo. So he believes that baptizms should only be in the name of Jesús not Jesucristo. But I am NOT saying that Jesus isn't the name to use for baptizms, but I believe people can be baptized in either name just as in English. Either in Jesus Christ or JesusChrist (obviously, in English is the same) What do you think?

Surely the non existence of a creator means everyone can create living beings if they tried hard enough.

This is a challenge for atheists.
