Religion & Spirituality - 5 January 2007

I know I'll get lots of the standard grief with this question and thats ok... But I am really interested in some thoughtful responses too.

1 Thessalonians 5:2 tells us that the day of the Lords return will come like a thief in the night, meaning that no one knows when that will be...

We know that when Jesus returns the world will have already experienced the seven years of tribulation. Again, no one knows when that will be, presumably even satan. Does that mean that there has been an anti-christ in every generation waiting to be empowered by satan to ravage the world?

If so... does he know who he is???

I always say it politely, but I continue to say it. Of course, I also love to argue about religion, but my underlying attitude is that religion is a farcical, bizarre, outmoded and illogical way of thinking.

is it because its the easiest thing for them to blame? its as if the quran were to clearly and specifically write that any country that is called "America" is the great satan and all problems that muslims face are caused by it. if their wives divorce them, america's fault. if their french made car breaks down in the egyptian desert, america's fault.
and why is it that muslims guys can have relationships with non-muslims girls, but if any non-muslims guy wants to have a relationship with a muslim girl then its strictly forbidden? tolerance and equality, eh? princess diana is an example of the former. give me one example of a muslim woman with a non-muslim male.

Does this Movie promote HOMOSEXUALITY? And Doesn't this go directly against Christian Beliefs?

Happily N'Ever After uses the phrase "On the Down Low". A quick search on the internet shows all the negative meanings this phrase has.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/downlo...

Is this appropriate for Christian children?

Divine birth, my foot! Mary wasn't a virgin.
"Daddy... uh... an -angel- made me pregnant." Sure, sweetie. If only we had fathers that naive today.

I mean, come on. We all know ancient society was far too misogynistic for that, don't we?

For example, is it possible people can finally do things they've always wanted. And do you really see your relatives and friends who passed away earlier. Are they even real or is the afterlife just a hallucination, something that you wish for.

Heaven is a place without sin? a place without sadness? a place where we will worship god?

thus concluding there is no free will?

so with this we are being made to worship god, the very same god who sent our family and loved ones to a place to be tourtured for all of eternity.

so why would anyone really want to go to heaven anyway?

not to mention the god we are worshipping is murderous (evidence found anywhere in the OT)

And you go before the throne to be Judged. And he asks you,

Why didn't you keep MY laws and MY commandments and statutes ALL of them?

What will you say?

The Bible uses the word "antichrist" only five times:

1-2. Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. - 1 John 2.18

3. Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son. - 1 John 2.22

4. but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. - 1 John 4.3

5. Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. - 2 John 7

There is absolutely NO MENTION of any antichrist in the book of Revelation, yet many Christians insist that he is spoken of there.

that you would be damned to an eternity of misery because you did not accept God's prohpet even though you had never heard of this prophet in all your years on this planet?

(Hopefully, you people do realize that there are people in this world who live their entire lives without hearing one word about Jesus Christ?)

Joseph interpreted the Pharoah's dreams meaning there was going to be a famine. That was God's way of warning them to prepare for it. Do you think God still speaks to us in our dreams and we need to find ways to interpret them to find meaning?

Here is my answer:


What I like best about Islam is the nature of its prayers. In Christianity prayers are said in order to ask for worldly blessings such as wealth, position and honour from Allahu ta'ala through Issa a.s.. Muslims, in contrast, express their gratitude to Allahu ta'ala and they know that as long as they abide by their religion and obey the commandments of Allahu ta'ala, Allahu ta'ala will give them whatever they need without them asking for it.

what ur's??

Will God allow your anti-temptation muscles to atrophy by not allowing temptation to exist in heaven?

How will God know that you will not succumb to sins if God does not test you from time to time?

Will someone of the millions of saved souls in heaven eventually get sicks and tired of being good then they will investigate another one of God's planets and just for fun see if they can get the inhabitants to eat an apple?

"Proof is in the eye of the beholder. And one cannot prove anything to someone who doesn't want to be convinced that his or her own ideas are wrong."

Do you guys agree with this statement? It seems ALOT of people come on here asking for proof that something does or does not exist, but they actually have zero intent on believing the answers if it disagree with their beliefs. Whats the point of even asking a question if you're biased and won't listen? Are you just trying to find some people to agree with you so that you can justify whatever it is you believe in?

should i do a protection ritual before using my ouija?
last night i was using it because i kept feeling like someone was watching me, and I was the only one in the house. So i grabbed my ouija and started asking questions. It didn't do anything at first, I was about to put it up.
suddenly when i was about to move it to goodbye.
it went to each corner of the board.
and started spelling stuff out that made no sense.
Should i use protection spells before using the ouija?
like the lesser banishing ritual or something.
