Religion & Spirituality - 28 January 2007

Can we keep the God discussion in here? I've noticed a lot of people posting things that say "pray to God" when nobody's asking for religion. I understand that you are very set in your beliefs, and I know people believe that praying is the answer to everything, but there's a reason we have a religion section. It's so that non-religious people don't have to listen to us talk about God. So, let's try to keep it here, where we're expecting to hear about God, ok? Please?

Who here says Magic and Who actually says Magick. I already know the answer to this one but to test peoples knowledge, for people who said Magic, give me a reason why. What is the difference between them just in case I know who knows how it is pronounced and the reason for it. Confused.... 1.)How you spell Magic or Magick. 2.)If you pick Magic what makes you say that? Do you know the difference in between them? Have fun

Rev.12:1-12; Here, Satan and unholy angels are to be cast out of heaven. WHEN?

Does any one go to heaven before Satan is cast out?

Michael of Jude 9; and Dan.12:1-13 end times with holy angels, do cast Satan down.
IS IT END TIME AS SATAN HAS A SHORT TIME?

IS IT END TIMES BECAUSE AT John 6:39,40,44 JESUS SAYS RAISED UP AT LAST DAY?

IS IT END TIMES BECAUSE Rom.16:20 APOSTLES EXPECT SATAN TO BE UNDERFOOT?

Who is responsible for the innocent children born with horrible diseases? If the religious people say don't blame God for all your troubles, then are these children responsible for their disease? How do people explain this?

You've heard the story about the "Mark of the Beast" right? And that it was wrote about in about 95 A.D. If this happens as the bible says so, would it make you wonder if there is some truth to the bible? and that their could be a God?
I don't mean no disrespect, just wondering

For instance... I live in a (non-american) socielty where there are many diverse relgious beliefs....

Muslims in my country are classified as "black muslims" "indian muslims" "middle eastern muslims"

Then there are the catholics who assume that all caucasians are catholics (if you are caucasian and non-catholic then you are not part of their circle)

No hindu can be seen as anthing other than indian

The buddhists are of asian origins

The baptists are african...

etc ....etc....

So does that say anything about religion and race ????

Why do people insist that pure blind belief is all you need to prove the existance of anything that may or may not have occurred thousands of years ago?

Throughout history, anything that has been recorded has always had a biased slant to it. Egyptians for example on many occasions would deface any carvings that they found scandalous or embarrassing to their legacy, so it's no surprise that the written word on parchment would be the same.

Mat 6:6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Jesus tells us not to pray in public, but if I'm not mistaken, isn't that what churches are for? I mean, I've never been inside a church, but that's the impression I get...

Skeptics have criticized Christianity for seeking to persuade people into accepting its authority through simple fear of punishment or hope of reward after death, rather than through rational argumentation or empirical evidenceTraditional Christian doctrine assumes that, without faith in God, one is subject to eternal hellfire. The Epistle of James states that even mere belief is insufficient for salvation, for "the devils believe and also tremble" (James 2:19). Saint Paul also states in Romans that confession of the Lord as your savior entails you will be saved and "He that doubted is damned" (Romans 14:23). Not only is doubt detrimental to salvation, but mere hope to Saint Paul is an unacceptable sign of uncertainty, "For hope that is seen is not hope: for what man sees, why does he yet hope for? (Romans 8:24)" Not only must one have unwavering belief and faith to receive salvation, but according to Saint Augustine, one of the church's prime theologians throughout the medieval

I understand that the official viewpoint is that euthanasia/suicide is wrong, but what if the person who assists with the euthanasia was sent by God to ease the sick person's suffering? Just as the doctor who cures a person's illness is sent by God...?

According to Wikipedia, the holy anointing oil described in Exodus 30:22-25 was created from 500 shekels (about 6 kg) of myrrh, half as much (about 3 kg) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels (about 3 kg) of fragrant cane (kanabos, variously translated as calamus or cannabis), 500 shekels (about 6kg) of cassia, and a hin (about 4 L) of olive oil.

Other religions are tolerant of people's beliefs. Some moreso than others. Why does Christianity think they are better than everyone else in that respect?
