Religion & Spirituality - 15 January 2007

I don't think it's a big deal as long as you do it safely and not to get drunk. I like to have a Cosmo or something when we eat out, but my husband makes me feel horrible about it and so I never drink anymore. Not because I think it's horribly wrong, but because I don't want it to cause a fight between my husband and I. We're only 24 and we just had a little boy and I will never have alcohol in the house or be drunk in front of him, but I don't see anything wrong with going out every once in a while and having a drink with our friends. He refuses, though and makes a big scene and it just bothers me. I'm very responsible and I'm a SAHM and I just need to get out and have fun sometimes. (leaving my son with a responsible adult that is) I don't know. I think it has to do with the fact that is dad is a preacher and he wants me to be perfect and not do anything his dad would deem unacceptable..but shouldn't I live by my own standards and not his or his fathers?

What does it mean to sacrafice for others because we love them? I know we are supposed to because Christ did it for us and we did not deserve it. So that means we should love and sacrafice for people that don't deserve it. In what practical every day ways can we as christians carry this out?

or one side is correct and should control religion? Do you think your respective religious group should tell you how to vote?

Yes, Christians like to complain about others mocking them. But do they not mock others? Do they not mock the faith of the Buddhist by telling him that his religion is a cult and that God ignores his prayers? Do they not mock the Jew by telling him that he will suffer in hell for all eternity unless he renounces Judaism and becomes a Christian? Do they not mock non-Christians all over the world by saying that their religion is a cult, that God ignores their prayers, and that they're going to suffer in hell for all eternity?

I am stunned that a group of people that profess the infallibilty of the bible give it's followers a teaching that is at complete odds with fundamental teaching that animates the faith of God. The claim that the soul dies untill resurrection on the last day. The bible does not teach that physical death cause the death of the soul. A soul may be dead spiritually due to lack of the knowledge of God but it's reality is still alive.

I have been feeling like a roller coaster, up a moment and down the next. I have been praying for an answer for my career for more than a year. Things don't seem to be progressing despite much effort and no break through, but many hard knocks and obstacles. It's frustrating not knowing where this will lead and the period of waiting for God's answer is unbearable. Often times, I wonder whether this profession is really my calling (though I wanted to succeed very much),or should I just throw in the towel and call it quits and find other prospects. Well, just need some encouragement from Christians ! Thank You !

And what is its purpose?
Why are you questioning each other?
Try and question the question!
Try and question what the question is
Maybe there is no question
But just what you cannot see?

Or do you think the modern English translations are better?

The Bible has been used for centuries to support slavery, racism, bigotry and unjust wars. How is this work perfect if it can be misinterpreted?

"Should we choose to merge completely with the light of God, we will never again be able to choose, on our own decision, to return to physical life. The decision to merge in the light is the best decision. "

People with near death experiences reported having the choice to merge with the light or be reincarnated. What would you decide to pick in the end?

This would be a tough choice for me, I would choose to see a sample of what happens when I merge with the light before I decide what to do.

When i was talking to a few religious people today i came to the sudden realization that the only real reason they believed in God and did the right thing and behaved in society was for the sake of getting in through the gateway of heaven, or better said, the fear of going to hell!

Now i contemplated this realization and wondered, do most of you religious people only do the right thing in society simply because it is just a charade, not because you care about your fellow man, but because there is this eye in the sky keeping a scoreboard? Do you also keep a personal scoreboard each time you write that $1 check for those starving people on tv so that when god reveals your score you can say not so fast bub, remember that time i wrote that $1 check cuz that is worth an extra few points?

It just seems to me that the only reason one desires to be religious is out of selfish necessity, not because of a genuine concern for the fellow man.
