Religion & Spirituality - 29 December 2006

I mean, honestly, give it up. I'll give you the Crusades, I'll give you the Muslim expansion, the reclaimation of Spain...heck, I'll even give you Israel's march into Canaan, the English Civil War and the Wars of Reformation. But let's see...what else is there?
The Peloponesian Wars
The Greco-Persian War
The conquests of Alexander the Great
The conquests of Julius Caesar
The expansion of the Roman Empire
The Ruso-Japanese war
The Sino-Japanese wars
The conquests of Genghis Khan
The conquests of Attila the Hun
The conquests of Napoleon
The Boer War
The War for American Independence
The War of 1812
The Civil War
The Mexican-American War
The Spanish-American War
World War I
World War II
The Korean War
The Vietnam War
Not to mention the numerous wars from cultures I haven't studied in depth.
And they want religious people to get their facts straight...geez...

True Christians have a peace deep inside of them that passes all comprehension. I wonder, where does your peace of mind come from? Also, in times of utter despare ( we all feel it at times) who do you turn to?

If you are going to cite a Biblical text, please use a formal equivalence translation - one that tries to match the original text word for word, and indicate the version you got it from.

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

how would the holyspirit testify of Jesus?
John 15:26
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me

Is this the way you practice your own religion? Or are you seeking out the truth but just won't hear it? What's up with that?

anger on a personal level, can destroy our relationships with the people we value the most, and keeps our mind bound in spirals of misery.
As powerful the negative state of anger is, it lacks any material substance whatsoever. When we look into our own minds & hearts and under
stand this disturbing mental/emotional state better, we will realize angers unrealistic projec
tion and thus will not buy into its story so readily.
We will gradually be able to distance ourselves
from this distructive Painful mental/emotional state Without suppressing, repressing, or
expressing it. We will replace it with much more
Wholesome and Beneficial states of mind, and
in this way, Patience, tolerance, love, and
compassion will grow within us. We also culti
vate a deep sense of who we really are !!

"Working with Anger" By Thubten Chodron is written in a friendly, and most encouraging way
which all people can benefit from, whether for themselves or to help others !!

Okay, I believe in God because of the overpowering experiences Ive felt of his presence and work in my life. My question is, don't people of all religions have these experiences too, which is the cause of thier belief? If so, how do any of us know if our God, or religious experience is correct, and if there is no God what are these feelings?

...everyone alive on earth is decended from a naked couple living in a garden somewhere in the Middle East 6,000-10,000 years ago? We should just let go of all the scientific findings that have come about over the years and teach that...just because it appeases what you were taught in Sunday School when you were a kid?

Come on.

I cannot believe this....I had been deeply involved with a man who I believed was single. He told me that he was divorced, and had 2 kids. I found out that he has been deceiving me and dumped him. But then I also found out that he is a the head Pastor at a huge Evangelical Christian Church.

Should I expose him for the sake of his congregation or let him continue to live this lie?

Is it pretty much how a Jew would view him only without God involved? Do they at least acknowledge his existence?

There are so many religions out there... how do you know which god is true?

There was jesus, but that was too long ago for me to believe it was true. Everyone says you have to have faith, well there are sure alot of people today that don't have faith and if God really existed and wanted us to believe, he would do something about it.

If they belive in Satan, they would assume in Hell and that there soul may dwell there eternally. If they are seeking a better life in giving in to Satan, then why aren't they all millionaires? I was thinking of what the reason for worshipping Satan could be. Can someone tell me? And I'll admit, I'm humble enough to say I never looked into the benefits of devil worship, as I enjoy experiencing Love much more. Thanks,
