Religion & Spirituality - 25 January 2007

The similarities are uncanny and I was hoping someone had some books to recommend. There are numerous websites concerning possible sources the Jesus story was modeled after but I would like to read some actual books.

My God is a merciful God. And He has given EVERYONE a chance to have an amazing relationship with Him (trust me, it's amazing), but if someone does not accept that mercy and grace, and become saved, then God punishes them. If someone lives a life of sin, then they cannot be rewarded. Not to mention Hell is mentioned numerous time in the Bible. So why do "christians" still not believe? Well hate to burst your bubble, but if you don't believe the Bible is the truth, that means believing EVERY aspect, then you are NOT a christian

Don't you feel george Bush got elected because of his morality issues? He stated he was pro life and against stem cell research if it meant using aborted babies. Are you also pro life and against stem cell research, if it means using stem cells from aborted babies? There are other alternatives for stem cell research, don't you agree?

The media plays a very significant role in our American society today. Do you think that it speaks for the majority of the people in current issues? Whether it be politcs or views on moral issues?

Are we that different? Do you not go on a killling spree only because god told you not to or because you'll be punished? Or do you not do it because you think it's wrong to randomly kill other people?

If you think it's only because you've been "born again" - did you think murder was a good thing before you were saved?

I'm sincerely interested.

I am agnostic but, I have a question. On so many of these q's and a things so many people say "glorify god" and blah blah blah. But, if "God" was so good and humble, why would he want you to Glorify him so much? Isn't it enough to just believe in him and do what you think is right and good? Instead of going by his word ALL THE TIME? There are still so many good ppl. out there who don't Glorify God all the time but do what they believe is right. I guess my question is, why do we have to Glorify God?

I assume you have been bombarded with "proof" of God.

Do you think I'm trying to prove anything?

If any of you have studied the Bible, you would know that "proving God" can only be done by God. I just tell them what Jesus has done for me.

I ask of you:

Stop mocking me. I don't mock you.

I asked a reasonable question.

You overestimate who I am.

My intention is not to prove anything.

Take it for what it is, and answer my questions.

If you don't want to believe, that's cool.

Just don't call me a "moron" and tell me to "get a grip".

Do you think you over-generalize "Christian"?

Don't you know we are all individuals?

Don't let one person ruin a label.

ok a lot of answers regarding my last question stated to jail them and never let them out. which is essentially a slow killing process. you dont let them out to live, but u dont kill them immediatley either. instead you put them in a room with free food, and free clothing. who would have to pay for this? and what would we do when the jails start overflowing? people are cosntantly being let out as others come in. should we make much much larger prisons? or much more prisons to contain people for a lifetime in a little room?

why should society have to pay for their mistakes? why should they tax my hard earned cash so that they can feed a rapists whos rotting in a jail cell?

(whos really being punished? the guy sitting in his room with free housing, food, and clothing, or the guy whos working hard as a member of society and getting his money taken to feed the one in jail?)

Last night a co-worker asked me "wasn't there a guy in the old testament who lived to be, like a thousand years old or something?' And indeed there is a story of one whose age approached this number. Do you believe this really happened? And then there was Job, who also lived very long for a human. Do you take that story literally?
The conversation with my co-worker got me thinking about the idea that Genesis and other stories in the Bible could be seen as allegorical, and are not to be taken literally. I think that is a view shared by many Christians these days. But then, I also have a big problem with that too. If you believe in Christ's virgin birth, His physical resurrection, and His performing of miracles (including making a dead person come back to life), which I do, then I ask you, what is so unbelievable about a person living more than 900 years? Compared to Christ's life and miracles, that's nothing!
Do you take the Bible literally? Or not? What do you think?

If you believe that people can be born homosexual and cannot change it...

It it the same for pedophiles?

If a child and adult love each other, is it OK then?

How about people attracted to animals?
Child pornagraphy? Is that wrong? What age makes it wrong?

Is it OK if no one knows?

Where do we draw the line for morals in this world?

Thanks.
