Religion & Spirituality - 12 January 2007

The Holy Spirit/ Comforter (aka Holy Ghost) that Jesus spoke about is clearly a SPIRIT. Why?

Firstly, this spirit abides FOREVER. Now, is Muhammad dead or alive?

John 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

Secondly, this Holy Spirit reminds the followers of Christ’s teachings. Which includes “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one goes to the Father, but through me”

John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Finally, anyone who receives the spirit speaks in tongues!

Acts 2:4
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

Suppose you are placed in the following hypothetical situation: You are kidnapped by some evil mastermind named Mr. Z. Mr. Z injects you with a poison that kills you in 1 hour. Nothing can stop you from dying.

Mr.Z introduces you to Vanessa. Vanessa trusts you and would follow any advice you give him. Mr.Z explains that you are to tell Vanessa not to follow your religion. It doesn't matter what options are open to Vanessa; you are to tell him that your religion is false and that Vanessa must never pursue that faith.

If you do that, Mr. Z frees Vanessa to continue life as usual, except that he is convinced your religion is false and will never convert to your religion. If you allow Vanessa one shred of belief in your religion, then Mr. Z tortures Vanessa for 45 minutes before killing him in front of your eyes. I know it's crazy rhetoric, but try to treat this as serious. Would you dissuade Vanessa from following your religion?

...in the subject of God?

Their attitude would not fly in a court or anywhere else. They would be summarily dismissed as admittedly ignorant in the subject matter.

Like they say, "people who gather honey don't kick beehives". If you want to serve your master and win people to him you should make us feel that we will belong to a decent lot. Some of Christians' answers to my polite and genuine questions have taken me a number of steps farther away from that religion. However, thanks to those who gave honest and rationale answers. You did your religion proud, I am not a Christian but have high respect for you! I'll keep on probing that religion and it's up to its followers to defend their faith. I will never bellitle it but on the same breath, I don't believe in it.

Just out of curiousity, I have a couple questions. No disrespect whatsoever...
-Growing up, were you raised with religion in your life, did you at any point in your life believe in God or a God, or were you raised as an atheist?

-What exactly was the turning point for you? What was it/is it that made/makes you believe in what you do?

-Honestly, do you ever quietly question to yourself "Is there a God?", do YOU ever have doubts in your beliefs? I know I do from time to time.
