Religion & Spirituality - 28 December 2006

I have some friends that don't believe in any religion, some that don't accept jesus as the lord and savior. I have some family and friends i know will go to hell. Eden, Heaven, is a perfect place right? It cannot be perfect without them in my eyes.

If they're in hell and I'm in heaven it's not a perfect place for me. Would God allow them to be in Heaven so it could be my Eden? In hell they could realize they're wrong and ask for forgiveness too right?

Cuz if you do, I got some bad news for ya! His standard has been set and it is perfection through Jesus Christ!

Being alive in 2006/2007 G-d has challenged you to be unique and sepertate from the standards set by television and pop culture. It's an honor how He thinks highly enough of you to survive such an age, no??

He doesnt say "lets make a deal" like the secular humanists do!

He says "this IS the deal" as a good parent does.

Thoughts?

Do you also suppose that every human being has one, and is this a form of connectivity to a Higher Power or a God of some sort?

I just could not understand the life, because I am working as a lecturer in a technical college, for the past 5 years, but my friends and relatives are into software/ Manufacturing Industry. I choose teaching because i got greats passion for teaching, communicating the ideas and so on and so many, but my salary is far low compared to my friends who are earning great money, also settling in abroad. Everyone around me, the family & friends and the soceity view me as a kind mad, lame person, because i am sticking to this teaching job. Even the Girls like to marry a person who has lot of money and wealth and not the character. Please someone out there help in finding the right answer

I read that there was this huge Christian conference of scientists, scholars, etc that compared different accounts of the gospel and said only 1/5 of Jesus' word could possible have been said by him due to so many contridictions. I was wondering if anyone knew which words they were? I'd like to learn more of what we know historically about Jesus.

Is anyone else wondering 'Why did an omnipotent god who could deliver his word instantenously to EVERY person directly by mouth, get a bunch of power hungry, 1st century men, who needed to unite an empire with a common belief, to write the bible?'


I'm sorry but I can't help but wonder that perhaps this bible isn't REALLY this omnipotent, super creating, all knowing being that have never been physically spotted, or observed with any of the five senses, or if so, at least not in a way where the spotter could prove he was anything more than a psychopathic schizophrenic: But MAYBE it was written by the power hungry first century men who needed to unite an empire with a common belief, to gain power and unite an empire with a common belief??


Does anyone else wonder if this is the case?

If we made robots that were human like and uploaded all known data how would they decide their morals? Every movie I see has directive 1,2,3....why do the ten commandments seem so strange to some people then? Is it not logical that a created being is subject to directives?

Alright, this question is for all the Catholics who believe whole-heartedly in the Bible. Do you think we should follow it exactly to the word? And if so, can u give me reasons as to why, and I'd like reasons speaking more to the scientific side of the question, and not just answers like "Yes because it's God". I must say that I am a catholic man, and I do think that the religion does have a lot of beautiful things to teach us, but that we as catholicists/christians must analyze ouselves more critically than to just say "It's my God so it's right". Although I am pro the religion, I am a little anit the church. Mainly because when my mom wanted to baptise me, the church we attended would not do it simply because she was not Italian, although i was 50% Italian because of my Father. Thus leads me to another question, should race/background come into play in the church?

would you make your own holy book with it's own set of laws. eg like the bible, torah and quran? also would you allow each human into heaven and destroy hell. basically if you were god, how would you act?

I ask because, for the most part, it seems to fit in pretty well with my beliefs. I will therefore also ask if there are any deists here at Yahoo answers. And if so, do you attend religious services? Or is your spiritual life fairly individualistic? To me, it seems that most deists would have a personal spiritual life as opposed to attending regular services. That's just based on what I have read about them, anyway.

Also, do Deists tend to believe in an afterlife?

Well, yeah, there's the whole doctrine that he "died for everyone's sins" and so forth, so the question is, why is that such a big deal? I mean if we look at things objectively, Christ suffered for a few days, though a not-all-that uncommon punishment of the day, and ultimately, after a short while back on earth, went back to being a third of a completely divine being, gaining omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience, and omnibenevolance forever. Now, really, going to that from fully human shell, doesn't seem like a horrible deal.

What alternative did he have but to die? If he was both fully human and fully divine, then the fully human part would be subject to death eventually, so then would the sacrifice of God sending his son to die being the time Jesus speant on earth?... Wouldn't it be in both God's and Jesus's best interest for him to die sooner?

I'm sure I can get some insightful response to this, as it never quite made sense to me why it was a big deal.
