Religion & Spirituality - 16 February 2007

I figure basically that its the same as public school except they teach catholic religion as one of the subjects and the school the catholic school is crawling with multi cultured people but I'm still not completely sure whether It's permissible.

The bible is very clear that now is the time of salvation. Once you die there is no more offer to get right with God. You will be lost forever. Is this not worth serious thought? God so loved you that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him will not "perish" but have everlasting life. John 3:16. I challenge you because I care about you.

Ok, I will start off by saying that I am LDS.

As a personal matter of interest, I like looking at questions people have on my faith. Here are a few things I have noticed:

Mormons have a tendency to tell people they're IGNORANT (yes, in CAPS like that), that they're downright wrong, and that they should "get the facts straight" before asking questions.

First, aren't they trying to "get the facts straight" by asking their questions? At least try to be respectful and understand their point of view.

People have a view that we as Mormons are excluding of others, that we thing we are always right and everyone else is always wrong about what they think of us... by calling people ignorant and insulting their intelligence, you only propogate this myth. In other words, if you have insulted someone that asked a "mormon question", YOU are the reason people think we are a cult.

Why cant Christians just talk about their beliefs without freaking out when someone believes differently. The conversation was great while he was telling what he belive but as soon I as asked questions about my concerns he turned into a scary freak and started yelling in a bar. I get the feeling sometimes that Christians are great about talking about their religon but TERRIBLE about listening.

How would you react if one day, you dropped something, and someone you don't know at all was just walking by you and said, "Have a great day, Jesus loves you."?

hehe.

Sarcasm is welcome. I dish it out enough anyway.

Since God didn't create anything, where did it come from? If you say that there has always been something there can you prove that also?

( I am talking in regards to the creation of the universe )

though the Bible looks down on guile and exalts the one who has none; one must have at least some to make it in this world. The person who has no guile and no game suffers. Too much guile and/or game makes him or her look like a player, but just enough is a must.

OK, i was thinking about this for a while.... Do you think your life is a test by God, the whole thing, and every1 you meet, and your family, is just pawns God uses, and they don't really exist, like they do exist, but they are playing there own game, and they dont think in your game at all... and your entire existence, is just being a good person, and is a test to something greater, like heaven

Is there an official list of prophesies written by Joseph Smith that came to pass? If so, where does one find it?

A church group came to my campus this afternoon, I suppose to try to "recruit" people into their church. I couldn't help but notice that almost every single one of them was FAT. I'm not talking about a little healthy chub.. these people were quite obviously overweight if not obese. Why were they trying to convince other people that they will go to hell if they don't follow god's will, when gluttony is one of the 7 deadly sins?

And don't bother telling me that some people are "naturally fat" or "can't help it" because we all know that is BS and I don't think it's reasonable to assume that all 20 or so of them is predisposed to being overweight.

Do u agree?whats your opinion?
"You see, one thing is, I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're here... I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell. It doesn't frighten me."

I just want every American to pray to HUITZILOPOCHTLI, the Aztec God of war, What's wrong with that? We can sacrifice our enemies and display their heads as trophies at every school.

from him? What do you desire him to teach you? Please, do not say Church attendance as a means of getting to know him. Would you limit Jesus to teach you only what is written? Would you have any questions for him outside of what is written? Would you DESIRE to walk along beside him, and "chat" with him? Sit with him and discuss. . .? What does he Know - you would want to learn? How will you locate him to have those "chats?"

As your religion teaches the belief in the existence of more than one God, how do you explain following bible verses;

"I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God" Isaiah 45:5 and "There is no God apart from me, a righteous God and Saviour, there is none but me" Isaiah 45:21

The Bible clearly teaches in Genesis that God created the animals to reproduce after their kind (Gen. 1:24,25), that God formed Man out of the dust of the ground (Gen. 1:26). He formed the plants that yield seed according to their kind (Gen. 1:11,12). I know some believe it is possible that the days in which God created the world were actually 1000 years because of 2 Peter 3:8 which states, "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." When you look at Genesis however, we see that the evening and the morning dictated the length of the day (Gen. 1:5,8,13,19,23,31). According to this the day was a normal 12 hour period of time. If all this is true and evolution focuses on the earth forming of itself, then evolution catradicts the existance of God. The conclusion I come to is you can be a creationist or you can be a evolutionist but you cannot be a creationist and an evolutionist

"Now faith is the substance of things unseen, the evidence of things hoped for" If this is true by definition would'nt your agreement be by faith since you have faith in well guided assumptions made by scienntist? I also suggest that if you want to prove that God does not exist, conduct a scientific experiment to disprove him and see if you succeed, and then if you fail, pray sincerly and see if he answers. Will you?
please dont be rude.... Thank you!
