Religion & Spirituality - 28 January 2007

Take Genesis 3:22 "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us,..." which would indicate that there is more than one God. Exodus 20:3 "Thou shalt have no other gods before me.", with the pluralized "gods", hence more than one god.
Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness..."
Also in the original Bible, the fourth word is Elohim in Hebrew, which Elohim is Gods - note it is that plural. Hence "In the beginning Gods created the heaven and the earth." The word Elohim is used 2,570 times in the Old Testament, all times the usage is plural.

I see a lot of people that try to discredit the bible and think that they find clever verses concerning the old testament. Did you know that the Old Testament deals primarily with the nation Israel and alot of the ways God did things then and with the nation Israel are not to be applied to the believer in Christ nowadays. Over and over I see people using the few references to witches being burned and slavery and Hitler and murdering the innocent. Concerning hell, you have the choice in that matter, dont blame God. Please anyone please show me in the New Testament where the believer in Christ is told to act in that way, if no one can show me any proof of these things then you cannot condemn Christ for this or what the word of God teaches but it is in fact a sinful man with an evil heart acting this out. Any believer in Christ that has truly accepted Christ and is mature in his faith will not act out any of these wrong things. Please someone show me wrong, and not your opinion.

I will still go to Hell? My life of helping other people & making the world a better place will be rewarded with an eternity of pain and suffering simply because I don't have faith in a God who refuses to prove his existence to me?

Religion. One of the most debated topics in society today. Does the good outweigh the bad? Does the hope of salvation, belief in the soul and life after death justify countless deaths in the name of one God or another over the centuries?

Or would we be lost without it. Stuck in a meaningless existence with no sense of a higher purpose, no hope of higher meaning?

This isnt meant to be a religion bash. I'd just appreciate people's opinions.

What if we knew for certain this was He returned, and He was very dismayed at how we have used religion to beat one another with? Would the churches reject Him in favor of their own traditions?

Okay me and my family just recently moved into a new place last October. Anyways about two months ago we started to hear knocks on the wall when we were in bed. The sort of knocks that you don't know where they are coming from. Also one night I woke up to something that pinched my toe. A few nights later my wife got up from the couch to use the downstairs restroom and something pinched her butt. Quite funny until what happened today. My sister-in-law and family are visiting, well when she was upstairs she passed one of the childrens room and seen a shadowy figure moving in the room. Anyways I told her about previous things that happened. I am not shook up, but I am quite curious as to what might be going on. I really don't believe in ghosts. Any info besides sarcasm would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ever had sex? Seriously I'm not attacking you but
my freind Yu Hamagi told me that you folks don't have sex.
Atheists-because *supposedly* you guys hate babies.(I don't buy it) Muslims-You don't believe it (again sounds like b.s.)
Pagans- Your gods command you not to (again, probably b.s.)
Anyway since you don't believe in Hell are you promiscuous?

i never heard about that sort of thing in the UK
Christianity has been here hundreds of years longer, so if the Bible required people to tithe wouldn`t it seem likely that someone might have spotted it in the Bible like when they where translating the bible into English i know Christians are supposed to help people who need help but i thought church and money were supposed to be seperate and in the past Protestant clergy were expected to live on the very least possible

to make it clear
when you ask a question some times you got answers more convinced than what you got from your religion,but you wouldn't believe in it because it contradicts your believes.thats why some times people restricted in their behaviors just because thier religion told them to do so while they think it is ok to do the opposite which is forbidden for them.
if this happened to you what you will do and why?

Im not talking about just being gay, I'm talk about two women or two men raising an adopted child. This question isn't for people to rag on gays because they're people too and don't deserve to be treated like crap. I just want to know what God thinks about it.

total chaos and doomsday ??? It's depressing to know that our world is headed in the wrong direction and will just get worse. So, you kinda have to be in somewhat of a state of denial in order to try and live your life to the fullest and try to be happy....that is, if you believe all that the Bible predicts. I wonder if MAN just wrote what he wanted and misinterpreted some things they were supposed to write in the Bible. Who knows ? It's all kinda crazy to me. What do you have to say to make me gain a clearer perspective on why we were given this book of doomsday...when God is Creator and all-knowing and knew that this is the way the world would turn out...what's the point ? I know...to find out which ones will choose eternal life with God or that other road that leads to the devil, to hell. Please enlighten me...
