Religion & Spirituality - 20 January 2007

For one thing theyre jumping the gun here, they refuse to look at thier own history and refuse to take other peoples bad experiences at face value when they make such streotypical statements such as "if you arent christian you hate Jesus", that wasnt the case for Ghandi and it isnt the case for me.

I've heard from different sources that Shia law has been used both to justify women's rights to voting and education and to justify denying women access to voting and education.

It has been called both merciful because to prove a sex crime, you must have 3 eye witnesses, and cruel, because sex crimes carry a death penalty.

Is Shia law interpreted in such different ways that the term has essentially become almost meaningless? Is there some core that is true no matter where Shia is practiced?

Is there any literature, books or studies; that have traced the bloodline of Jesus' brothers and sisters who were born after Jesus between Mary and Joseph? Is this possible? I ask this not for PROOF of MY LORD's EXISTENCE, bc I already believe beyond any conceivable doubt by FAITH and a life spent knowing GOD more. Im just curious if there are people walking the earth today that are decendents of Mary and Joseph?

Like say for instanst, I want to stand on the side of the road or on the street corner to yell out "JESUS LOVES YOU!!" or hold up a big sign that says "GOD IS REAL AND HE CARES". What will I legally have to do in order for me to do that type of thing?

You lost your virginity before marriage but didn't feel guilty nor convicted about it?

Could it be that you weren't close to God when you commited that sin?

is really a War against Islam? The Muslims want to convert our law into Shia law. We need to fight for the freedoms, liberties, and government that we know and love.

O thus be it ever when free-men shall stand
Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust!”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

-The Star-Spangled Banner

In the Gosples, Mark stands for a Lion, Matthew stands for a an angle(or a man), Luke stands for a Bull, and John stands for an eagle.My question is why are those people represented like that? Did Mark have the qualites of a lion so he can be symbolized that way? Thanks so much!

Sadam ordered to kill all those who plotted to kill him during his war time with Iran and dubbed them as Traitors.But 1400 years before the same story happened.Jews cheated Holy Prophet Mohamud(PBUH) during his battle with Kafir of Mecca.Latter, when He got victory he ordered to kill all young male Jews.So what Sadam did was in accordance to the Sunna of Holy Prophet Mohamud(PBUH) then WHY he was hanged for following the foot step of Holy Prophet(PBUH).

I received an email from a major web site telling me that I was violating their rules, but they wouldn't tell me what rule I was violating? They threatened to terminate my account. How do you correct something wrong without knowing what to correct? I just think they dont like me for some reason. Maybe it's because I'm a Christian and its making unbelievers angry becasue they don't want to hear the Gospel of Christ. You can't control people for that reason. That's discrimination. It's also denial of freedom of speech.

Persecution of religious groups

I was dealing specifically with this subject when someone complained about it. Some people not only want to persecute religious groups, they want to avoid any just consequences by squelching any just response. NOW do you see?

I'm sorry to say the only way I can be specific is to un-violate the violation against religious groups (as per this specific instance), such that the question is reposted. Any explanation here would be exactly the same as posting the question again.

PS. I KNOW who the complainer is. Many times I have correctly predicted the behaviour of people by understanding their particular psychology. It is particularly easy when dealing with bigots. On occasion, I have engineered the behaviour of others, and there is no better example then THIS INSTANCE.



Please! Complain! I would love responders to reaffirm their prejudice, making it obvious to all users.

What does the term "self-righteous" means when applied to certain Christians?

How does it or does it not apply?

When nonbelievers observe self-righteous words and behaviors, it may contribute to their rejection of Christianity.

What can be done if your behavior is blocking their view of your God?

When individuals are persuaded to view themselves as inferior, they can be directed into the purchase of any product or brand that promises fulfillment and human completeness. Consumption will supposedly bring ever elusive perfection. Advertiser promises of course, remain eternally unfulfilled, and the individual gradually submerges into a fantasy of consumption as an end in itself.

Much of mass communication industry depends on the explotiation and manipulation of human weakness.
The one consistent theme permeating virtually all advertising is consumer inferiority. By unconcious comparison, the consumer has to be a loser, deficient and ordinary.

And please, don't confuse the religion itself with muhammad(pbuh) or ones that are in the religion. There is a difference between them. Just as there is a difference between religion and culture. Explain why does one who believes islam is a false religion think it to be false or a fallible religion? Keep in mind, the religion is the religion. Muhammad(pbuh) is a man. A prophet. He is not islam.

"THE PHYSICAL" VS "THE SPIRITUAL"...............Who WINS?


Our purpose in this life is to progress using the tools provided.
What has been more important to you?
How do you create this balance in your life?
You’re spiritually rich but PHYSICALLY POOR…or vice versa? Has all this spiritual soul seeking been just a waste of time and energy? Should we only care on things of the world since being spiritual doesn’t pay the bills?

when it comes to faith in tithing and giving oblations and offerings, there is a complete history of honoring GOD with the best you have. Remember ABLE.
when god asks us to tithe, how many people realize that tithing the very breath you breath might be an obligation. ?
