Religion & Spirituality - 13 February 2007

Just wondering, since so many christians always tell people left and right "I'll pray for you" do you remember to do that for every single person you promised? do you do it before bed or immediately after you say it, and how does the prayer go exactly. I'm not making fun I'm seriously asking.

The Bible was incorrectly translated from Hebrew to Greek. The word 'young woman' was changed to 'vigin' (as in the prophesy of the virgin birth in the OT):

From the mainstream British newspaper The Telegraph (link below):
"The doctrine of the miraculous conception and birth of a God-man was based on a remarkable mistranslation into Greek - wilful or otherwise - of Isaiah's original, quite specific Hebrew words."

From Translators Journal, a publication for professional translators (link below): "The Old Testament talks about almah 'young woman,' not bethulah 'virgin.' However, the scholars in the 3rd century BC translated the Hebrew almah as parthenos in Greek."

Humanity/civilization may very well go into a permanent regress.

Consider the following realities:

* Islamic countries have insignificant non-muslim populations ranging from 0-20% maximum (see CIA fact book online). Saudi Arabia for example, one of the largest chunks of real estate in the world, is 100% muslim in its citzenry. There are 51 Islamic countries in the world.

* Islamic populations within liberal western countries outbreed non-muslims by a wide margin.

* Islamic countries are largely sustained by oil revenue and because of this power can continue to feed the theocratic appartus that so successfully keeps the Muslim populus ignorant.

* Western countries have too much translaprency where Islamic countries have none, therefore western countries are easily villified while Islamic countries remain largely above the media fray.

Exponetially Higher breeding in non-muslim countries + total control of Muslim countries = Islam domination unless something changes.

We have seen huge changes in what is considered moral and or not in the last 200 years. Slavery was legal and had wide spread support when the United States was founded. Racism was an institution the south even 50 years ago. Animal cruelty was not considered a problem. Women were considered inferior and not allowed to vote when my grandmother was young. You get the idea.

Why has this happened? I dont think you can say the church as all of these things were considered just fine for almost 2,000 years.

acts 5:3,5
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things

In Acts 1:18 Judas is said to have, "purchased a field with the reward of iniquity." What reward of iniquity? In Matthew 27:5, he, "casts down the pieces of silver in the temple."

...When Christianity has not had an extremely good reputation either (does witchhunt, inquisition, genocide ring any bells?)

Besides, don't Christians and Muslims worship the same god?


Shame on you, Chef Bob :(

Many professed Christians proudly wear His name, but refuse to follow His teaching. Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments."

God knows all things, so do you think that when you are born God knows if you are going to go to heaven or hell.

I mean for people who aren't chrisitians or for that matter don't belive in GOd, what is your hope?

It's like your lives are completely over after you die. Isn't that a bit depressing? Without hope..what is there to you? Why were you born? To do what? Go to school. Get a job. HAve a family. then DIE?

Jesus is my Hope.
