Religion & Spirituality - 30 December 2006

I travel a lot and find many different places where people pray. What if my religion is different from the one that is practiced at that place. Is this rude or sinful?

me and my husband had a huge argument last night because his so called best friend is trying to hook him up with the daughter of a friend, and his best friend gave this woman my husband's cell number. Well one thing led to another and I threw a hanger at him that scratched him on the eye area and there was some blood. He got phyisical with me then packed up all his belongings and left. I think it has gotten way out of hand now. We have only been married for a month and we have all this negativity from outside sources because they see me as a threat to his relationship with them. We are both studying Jehovah Witness' and I feel horrible. If he knows the truth will he divorce me because of what went down. He doesn't want to give up his friends whom he says doesn't like me but yet in still he still hangs out with them. Did I mess up big time and lose my husband for good?

I read a newspaper article today about a man in tears because he was so happy that Saddam Hussein had been hanged. "I've been praying for this all my life." He said.

He PRAYED for someone to die. What the hell? He cried tears of joy when it happened. What is wrong with this man? What is wrong with the people of the Middle East? Why are so many of them so obsessed with bringing MORE death into the world.

Pray for justice, sure. Pray for peace. Pray for an end to the sectarian violence that has ripped the cradle of civilization and faith apart since World War One. But don't pray for people to be killed. Isn't the real message of the Quaran one of peace and tolerance?

How do we get that message back?

Would you worship out of doors or in doors?

What I am implying is would you rather be amongst nature and the 'natural' splendor or in a man-made establishment?

I do not care what your worship is focused towards...

A poster name iblis wrtoe this in response to a question:
"Clearly you don't know your history to well.Christians were killing people during the Crusades and then Inquisitions!"

Really what he should say is that humans have been fighting wars since the beginning of time,but that doesn't tell us who is right and who is wrong in each case.It is possible that they killed people and were right, why cannot he accept this possible reality?
This writer only adopts and rejects things as it is convenient for him not according to some honorable rule..
The fact that wars were fought and then just taking note of them does not tell us who was right and wrong in those wars. One cannot simply state see people fought and people died here,that doesnt tell us anything, without investigating the causes of war and reasons why. That is the same as not having a fair trial, they are just condemned , no trial , no jury, no defense allowed. This guy just condemns them.

I mean, I can understand how it wouldn't work as a way of life, but, if someone consistently and purposely hurts you, undermines you, lies about you? Spreads false rumors? Damages your property? Takes pleasure in causing you trouble? I mean, is there EVER a situation where a little retribution is fitting?

George W. Bush, in an airport lobby, noticed a man in a long flowing white robe with a long flowing white beard and flowing white hair. The man had a staff in one hand and some stone tablets under the other arm.

George W. approached the man and inquired, "Aren't you Moses?" The man ignored George W. and stared at the ceiling. George W. positioned himself more directly in the man's view and asked again, "Aren't you Moses?"

The man continued to peruse the ceiling. George W. tugged at the man's sleeve and asked once again, "Aren't you Moses?" The man finally responded in an irritated voice, "Yes I am".

George W. asked him why he was so unfriendly and Moses replied, "The last time I spoke to a Bush I had to spend forty years in the desert."

is the goal of islam to really take over the world? sure, its peaceful TO MUSLIMS, and sure it brings peace IF EVERYONE IS MUSLIM. but what about the jizya tax that they must impose on non-muslims to make the feel "subdued"? and what about all those verses talking about killing infidels? why are there so many islamic terror organisations? how many christian, jewish, hindu, and buddhist terror organisations were there, and how many people belonged to them? al-qaida itself probably has more members than all of those non-muslims groups put together, including even the now non-existent IRA (they surrendured). sure christians and jews did things, but that wasnt what their religion taught. when a muslim says islam is peaceful, he/she probably doesnt know his/her own religion.

When I went to Catholic school they told us that pagans who had never heard of Christ went to purgatory. Now that Catholics have closed down purgatory where did they put the souls? Also can anyone tell me the fate of pre Christian people who were not God's chosen people?

I. Jesus Christ Granted the Apostles His Authority to Forgive Sins
John 20:21 - before He grants them the authority to forgive sins, Jesus says to the apostles, "as the Father sent me, so I send you." As Christ was sent by the Father to forgive sins, so Christ sends the apostles and their successors forgive sins.

John 20:22 - the Lord "breathes" on the apostles, and then gives them the power to forgive and retain sins. The only other moment in Scripture where God breathes on man is in Gen. 2:7, when the Lord "breathes" divine life into man. When this happens, a significant transformation takes place.

John 20:23 - Jesus says, "If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven. If you retain the sins of any, they are retained." In order for the apostles to exercise this gift of forgiving sins, the penitents must orally confess their sins to them because the apostles are not mind readers. The text makes this very clear.
