from my previous question about if holyspirit already existed during Jesus time, most of you approved yes he did exist.


another comforter? someone new that still not known:
John 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

look carefuly at this verse, if i did not go then the comforeter will not come:
John 16:7
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

he is unknown yet:
John 14:17
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.


this is an evidence that Jesus here is talking about someone different than the holyspirit that many christians have been taught it's. Jesus here is talking about someone new will tesitfy of Jesus.

Non-Catholics often do not understand Rome's doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. They take the term to apply to the conception of Jesus, wherein the designation is appropriate; Jesus was immaculately conceived (Luke 1:28-35). But the Catholic doctrine refers, not to Jesus, but to Mary herself. Here is a comparison of Rome and the Bible on this subject.

What Rome say

(Ref C1) "The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin." [A: Page 124, #491.]


(Ref C2) "The only person preserved from original sin was the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ." [D: Page 70, #48]


So does this agree with the bible?

Our church has been looking for a worship leader off and on for several years. Other churches seem to have several very gifted singers. My church (150 people) only has 1 person (who is leaving the country for 6 months) who can stand up and lead a congregation in singing. Is this a problem for other churches?

My mother has been married to my step-father for 9 years and they have two children together. On February 10, they are to be married through the Greek church so they can be god-parents' to my step-father's cousin's baby. While meeting with the priest, he asked if her kids were baptized and she said no. They have us set-up to be baptized right before their "wedding" which is right before the baptizm of the baby. I'm not Greek and the only connection I have to it is my step-father. I don't know anything about the Greek Orthadox religion and the information I find online is confusing. Can someone please help?!

Since it is easily proven that the doctrines of Mary as Redemptrix (sic., female of Redeemer) and of Mary as 'Queen of Heaven' did not come from the Bible, the question arises, "Where did they come from?!" Indeed, where did such concepts first occur in recorded history? The answer is found in several historical documents, as described below.
BABYLON MYSTERY RELIGION. History shows that the concept of a 'mother of god,' the 'Queen of Heaven,' who 'dispenses all grace' first arose on the plain of Shinar (in modern-day Iraq), in the city of Babylon, built by Nimrod (Genesis 10:8-10) in direct disobedience to God's commands. There, in ancient Babylon, the mother-goddess Semaramis, pictured with an infant son at her breast, was called the "Queen of Heaven" and the "Mother of God." She also had the appellation "the hope of the whole world." Does any of this sound familiar? (Source: Dionusiaca, Lib. Xii, in Bryant, Vol iii, page 226).

I am experiencing what you call Laws of Attraction. So they tell
me. It is almost like whenever, I think of something, it happens.
And lately that has been the case. Especially in my present
relationships. Everywhere I go, I meet new women. And for
the most part, the response has been overwhelming. I even
have a few admirers for Valentines Day. Here is the catch.
Let's go back ten years ago. Spring of 1996, I had this strange
phenomenon happen. There I was sitting on a bench, downtown
at this resort area. My friend and I had numerous women
wanitng to sleep with us that night. Almost all who were out
there, treated us like movie stars. It was like we were famous.
It was a spring break fiasco, to say the least. Now. Is this what
I am experiencing again, in the year 2007 ? What do you think ?
Law of attraction at work. Best answer wins.

As of 01-01-07, I began a strict Kosher only diet. I researched how a Kosher priest cuts the fat as he blesses the food. I'm not sure if he is cutting fatty chunks off the meat or removing the fat out of eggs. Regardless, does the Kosher priest not realize he could be the next icon in the weight loss business? Does anyone know exactly what he does to reduce the fat & calorie content in the food he blesses?

I've noticed that certain universal truths permeate throughout all belief systems (religions, philosophies, sciences) in a certain shape or form. For instance, most belief systems share the view that what goes around comes around.

In Buddhism and Hinduism it's considered karma (more or less)

In Christianity it's called "what you sew is what you'll reap"

In Physics it's called "for every action there is a single and oposite reaction"

In Wicca it's called "what you do will return to you times three".

For this reason I consider the concept of reciprocity as a universal truth. My question to all of you is can share any others that permeated thru out all or most beliefs? I'd like to put together a list. You're help would be appreciated. Thank you.
