Religion & Spirituality - 30 January 2007

Isn't religion rather time and money consuming?

There's this girl in my class and since she's Muslim, she can't swim at the public pool (the lifeguard is a man).

My friend spends every sunday going to church and she always gets bored to tears.

Christmas has become a rather commercial holiday. Do you really have to spend a lot on your family and friends just to show you love them?

gone mad while walking around in circles in a square room, contemplating everything that has ever crossed your mind? I look at these walls and find my mind ripping itself apart, and shooting off in too many directions. I find myself trying to figure out what is going on; what 'god' is (or what that word even means); what should i do; what do i want to do; should i serve, or enjoy; and every other existential question that can be concieved... I've been a "seeker" since I was 10; now, 18 years later I find myself here and now - always in the place where I started - I know that there is some truth in that, and I have found many truths in my searching but I am not satisified, nor am I free from the desire to keep searching. Where does the searching end, or does it not end?

The army of god: this is the most powerful christian faction in the world and they have nuke weaponary but there most powerful weapon is brain washing

The muslims of power: this faction use stealth technology and hit and run tactics to fight there enemys. they have Bio weapon technology.

Jewish Path: this is the most powerful faction in the world , they have the best air units and have weapons that can attack from space.

The atheists truth: the non-religious faction trys to unbrain wash every body that is in a religion. they only control 10% of earth however they have the biggest navy in the world

The forgotten crist: this faction hides underground trying to destroy the army of god faction who say they are evil. this faction

Death army: this faction is unknow, all we know is that crazy people are in this army

What makes them spiritually (not religiously) so wonderful? Please let me know about someone you have personally met, not a celebrity, a God, or someone you'd like to meet.

I know the atheist science answer, but I want to know the truth. How old is the Earth?

And what caused Grand Canyon? Again, I know the atheist answer, but want to know the truth. Did Noah's Flood cause Grand Canyon?

The claim that the Holy Spirit is personified in Scripture, David Reed suggests pointing the interested
Jehovah’s Witness to an article that appeared in a 1973 issue of Awake! magazine
in which we read: “Is the Devil a personification or a person?...Can an
unintelligent ‘force’ carry on a conversation with a person?...only an intelligent
person could....‘Every quality, every action, which can indicate personality is
attributed to him in language which cannot be explained away.’”41
If such argumentation can be used to prove the Devil’s personhood, then it
can also be used (with much more substantiating evidence) to prove the Holy
Spirit’s personhood. For, indeed, the Holy Spirit can carry on a conversation with
others (Acts 8:29; 13:2), and the Holy Spirit has all the qualities of personality (see
1 Cor. 2:10; 12:11; Eph. 4:30) and performs all the actions of personality (see John
14:26; 15:26; Rom. 8:14; Acts 8:29). Clearly, personality is attributed to the Holy Spirit in language which cannot be explained away

why can a person not be saved unless he accepts jesus as his/her savior?

We constantly hear preaches say :" Make this pray (sinners prayer) and you will be saved". Where in the Bible say that we will be saved by praying the sinners prayer? Do you really believe that you will be in heaven forever that easily? You know that preachers make it that simple

that we all have soulmates and must find that missing link.

Meaning, when Adam's rib was taken out to form Eve who became his helpmate.

Now, my question is what if we don't find our soulmate, does that mean we have not prayed, or asked God for a soulmate into our lives?

I believe there's so much ignorance in those who don't know the difference between the two testaments!! as you see many of the things written in the old testament were strictly for a specific group of people but mostly Jews!!

I've been reading several comments about the Old testament, of course full of ignorance and misunderstanding!!

I encourage you to study both testaments.

The old testament is the key to understand the New testament and vice-verse.

some people make stupid questions about the bible - and FYI, if you want to understand the bible you must have the Holy Spirit in you. otherwise you will not understand it.

As Armagedon is apparently so near why does anyone bother to choose a partner when the Kingdom of God is so near that they will be able to choose a perfect partner.

We both couldn't keep our eyes off of each other until he invited me to his church (I am a Sikh).He asked me what I thought of Church, I nicely told him I learned things that are not part of my belief set.I had also gone to his church group because I am open to religions & believe that there is only one god.I told him I am not searching for a religion or an answer.Before he used to IM me for no reason, but last couple of days, he has ignored me like I never existed.That made one thing clear that he was interested in me, till he came to know my religious beliefs.But I feel it's immature of him to cut off because I am brought up with diff beliefs.My effort was to learn things that r important for him.But apprently he doesn't care to learn about my faith or even consider respecting.I know he has lost interest in me not coz of me,but my faith.I msgd him once and left him alone after that as I don't want to lose my worth over him.I am hoping he'll realize his immaturity & talk.Suggestions?

Is global warming part of armageddon? Does God say it is a sin to waste water? Does he say that we shouldn't touch the forrests? Did God provide planet Earth as a resource for us to use wisely?

I'm not trying to be a smart a** here either its a serious question.

In the bible people say they speak to God etc hear him, if someone in our day and age now said they were instructed to write a second bible, they'd be called crazy. No one would believe that new bible.

If someone came back to earth calling himself jesus, you wouldn't believe him! (on this police show, which is a reality show, this guy claimed to be jesus)

So how would these "crazy" people be any different to the ones hundreds of years ago?

We were both raised Catholics. Problem is he won't even walk into a church. He made that clear when we went out on a date. I'm not a practicing Catholic, but I am a spiritual person and believe in the teachings found in different religions. He is supportive of other religions, he's like it's fine with him if they believe in that stuff. I practice yoga, but that isn't a religion. He seems to be turned off by the spiritual aspect. But I find it hard that even if you didn't believe in anything that entering a church would still be a problem. Would this be a relationship headed for trouble?

Once, the pledge of allegiance did not have the "under God" part. Now it does.

It's not that I'm offended by it, but I have a lot of friends who feel uncomfortable about that part (some are even Christian). It sounds too heavy and ominous.
