Religion & Spirituality - 10 January 2007

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.

Acts 20:24

23I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

25Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.

1 Corinthians 9:23-25

6For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. 7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

2 Timothy 4:6-8

just a bit ago i asked a question about that equation which i did not understand its relation to Jesus. thats all. i understand math. and i believe in Jesus with all my heart and know he wasnt gay. but so many of you fellow Christians jumped on my case and rudely answered me. and but only one of you actually understood what i was asking.

some of you thought that i was bashing Jesus, which i wasnt. but regardless didnt Jesus teach us to love others no matter what they say or think, and to always show them kindness and respect?

and not only this but in all things that Christians do that is not pleasing to God. how does that make us look to the world?

(I think it's one of the best rebuttals to christianity that I've ever seen)

In Vancouver, BC, a woman has given birth to sextuplets. She and her husband are Jehovah's Witnesses, and the question has arisen as to what will happen if the babies require blood transfusions, as is often necessary with premature neonates. Please read the article at the above link, and let me know your thoughts.

Jesus taught in the Bible that when a man curses or uses profanity it is a sign of evil that was in that man's heart. It is popular today for both men and women to curse. They never think of it as an evil condition in their heart, but rather a small thing that everyone does. These small words of cursing the Bible says, will defile the whole man if they are not repented of and stopped. Cussing and using the name of the Lord in vain causes one to become defiled.

So why do you swear ?

God Bless You

then how come Jesus gave his disciples the "Our Father" prayer?

note: if anyone denies that Jesus taught that prayer, then that person doesn't have any idea what he/she is following and what he/she is preaching.

Where is God? What is he doing? Does he exist?

Now, I want to say!! Why do you want to know? Did you know that if you think a lot about this issue, you will become crazy? Accept your own religion and follow it. You will be in heaven soon. We no nothing about this complex world. Keep silent and go straight ahead.

You can be as brief or lengthy as you want. For me, it was learning Greek so I can see if what the Bible truly said was different than what translators say it says.

Back in the day, when a catastrophe hits, people said it is God punishing the wicked. Nowadays, after Katrina and other disasters, we say its global warming. Is the Mother Earth the new god?

I'm just trying to understand why there is so much judgement about what is right for a person by another's standard. Each walk with a person's own spiritual path or religion is their own. Butting in on it is kind of like rude. unless they're invited in. So why? if you've done it yourself.

All the denials by creationists/IDers over evolution, in the face of enormous scientific evidence to the contrary is because a part of Genesis says God created life as we see it today. Why are creationists so fixated by this flaw in the Bible. Evolution doesn't invalidate the rest of the 'good book'.

I mean why have kids, why go to school, why do anything if your just gonna die in the end for pretty much no reason. If there's no purpose to the world then there's no purpose in me, and that just don't sound right through these ears. If my mom says be nice to that old man, why? Why can't i be mean and take his money.
