Religion & Spirituality - 1 February 2007

Okay so far my research suggests that those who believe in the rapture believe that Jesus will come and take them away. Meaning millions of people will physically die all at the same time or somewhere around the same time to go to Heaven.

Doesnt it ever occur to you that the anti-christ or someone else might try to pull this off?

How are you going to know Jesus will be the real Jesus?

Although not mentioned prominently, it is a known fact that many of today's athletes are Muslim. Anyone know why, are there certain powerful lines or surahs that cause for this conversion?

Assuming its not a fiction, and that God helped him gather al the animals in one place.... The Ark was the size of 20 standard basketball courts, about 94,000 square feet. Assuming food and stuff take up maybe 20% of the space, that about 75,000 square feet. If you allow, say, 6 square foot per animal, that allows for about 6,000 pairs of animals... but we know he had 7 each of the clean animals, so maybe he had room for 3 or 4,000 kinds of animals. Sound right? Is that all the kinds of animals we have ever had... ignoing the gallion kinds of insects?

But why do people lie and say he claims God is telling him what to do? President Bush has never said God speaks to him? Why then do people try to destroy the man with lies? He has enough going against him with the truth.

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt LOVE the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Matthew 22 vs 37
Love, love, love... Love, love, love... Love, love, love... Love, love, love... Love, love, love...Love, love, love...Love, love, love...Love, love, love...Love, love, love...Love, love, love...Love, love, love...

If there truly is an omniscient god, then shouldn't it already know what you want it to do?
I often hear of people praying for a sick relative to recover. But if your god is all-knowing then it would have known that you didn't want your relative to get sick. And once they got sick, your god should already know that you want them to recover. So doesn't prayer deny god's omniscience?

For to many years we let our own beliefs divide us...Bapists from Penocosal from Catholic from Judisam and from Quran
-We need to put our personal beliefs to ourselfs..and untite as one
-We all belive in the One true God,created Adam and Abramham and we belive in the same exact things....EXEPT for our personal beliefs that divide us..( Jesus wasnt the Messiah(judiasm)...or The Trinity(penocostal)..or Jesus was just a phophet but a great one(Quran)
-We need to keep them to ourselves for now(we're figure it out later)...and we need to come together as one because Thats what God wants
-We need to warn people that there is Judgement after death and God is real and the things they need to know............before its to late-its not up to us if they will belive but we must warn them
-We must do this to fullfill all phophecy..."that all of they can become one"-John 17:21...."and the gospel we be preached around the world" Matt. 24:14
-We must Become One

Clearly they are a part of the relationship with Christ that is a major part of the lives of some people in the Latino community. But why candles? And why, in particular, the picture that is on many of them? Is there a specific meaning of this symbol or this particular kind of candle?

Please, please, no racist answers and no anti-immigration answers. This is a question about religion, not politics.

O.K. for the people who haven't heard a couple in B.C had sextuplets, they were born at 25 weeks, which is about 6 months, and 2 of them have died. The doctors said they would need blood transfusions to survive, now being Jehovah Witnesses the parents don't believe in it, however the government of B.C. took control, and gave 3 of the 4 children blood transfusions, The parents are demanding an apology, now here is my question, and I just want to understand.
How can parents, especially a mother, knowing let their babies die because of their religious belief, if there was anything I could do for my child that would save their life I would do it no matter what, even if it meant for me to give up my life

Lets see--The radical side of "religion" goes out into the streets burning effigies, calling the destruction of a nation(s), forcing their female counterparts to wear burkas, forcing on their children "jihad" ethics to accomplish "martyrdome", killing in the name of 'allah" (which means God), killing their own because they will not "conform", crashing planes into buildings, blowing up passenger trains and busses crammed with people and countless other atrocities unmentioned, all in the name of an ideology. Hitler tried it--only thing is this has a religious twist to it. On the flip side-- There are those who say if you would like to have a >choice< to accept one's faith--you are free to do so, without any condemnation. You are free to ask questions and challange their faith--without worrying they'll take you out to the soccer field goal post and hang you for doing so. The question is--which one would you rather choose?

I hear angels love to help you find lost things. They say you should ask your angels to help you look for a lost item. I tried it and it worked. I lost a very special expensive earring. I put the back on wrong the night before and then left to go shopping all over town. When I got home I noticed it was gone. I paniced. My husband said he had vaccumed the house while I was gone. I told him I must have lost it around town. I did look in my bed and all over the house wih no luck.
I asked my angels for help. They somehow told my husband to look in the vacuum bag. He insisted on it and found the earring just like finding a needle in a haystack. The bag was full of debris.
Any stories?
