Religion & Spirituality - 22 February 2007

I have these quiet moments were I sit and think. I have visions of myself preaching and I often catch myself preaching to friends and family. I feel like I'm being call by God. Does anyone know if I am or not?

Islamic women while not forced are encouraged to wear head scarves. This concerns me too. Can Islamic women own a business?

I have heard some non-believers state that simply by stating what I believe that I'm "preaching" and forcing my beliefs on others. Furthermore, they say that it's unacceptable, and some even feel that it should be illegal. Another thing we Christians are often called is hypocrites. Whether we are or are not isn't the issue but some of you non-believers are hypocrites as well. I say this because I have often read sincere and honest questions on this site from Christians who are asking fellow Christians for help on an issue. Instead of butting out, some of you start preaching about how our religion (or all religion) is nothing but a fraud. You tell them that they should quit believing. By your own definition, you are forcing your beliefs onto others. Now here is my disclaimer: Certainly I realize that not all of you here fit into the group I have just described. Many of you who do not believe, don't rush in to try and convert a Christian to your way of thinking. That is how it should be.

The 22-year-old former law student, whose own father has disowned him and called for his execution under Islamic law, was sentenced to four years by a court in Alexandria.

Would you call for the execution of your own child if they spoke out against your beliefs?

I find this practice disturbing, disgusting, deprive!!!

"But you are not to be called rabbi (teacher), for you have one Teacher and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone [in the church] on earth father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. And you must not be called masters (leaders), for you have one Master (Leader), the Christ."

why don't you translate it yourself and stop using that as an excuse. It's not that difficult to research it without even buying a book. Check out Strongs concordance of koine greek. You will find out that semi-creepy stuff, where Jesus regulates the use of slavery, turns into exactly what it sounds like, in the original languages.

So what's stopping you?

Jesus said, "I AM the Way, Truth & Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.".

Wake up Muslims! Jesus is alerting you to Salvation by Grace of God and not by what Religious leaders have taught you.

I could pray for guidance and probably will eventuall, right now I am praying for guidance in other matters.

I have been told that God wants you to do what you do best, that he will bring out the best in you and that you should do that.

But what if you are good at everything you try? I am not a natural at everything I try, but I become very good at anything that I want.

So how do I know which of the things I am good at is what he wants me to do?

Supposedly there is a god that wants you to acknowledge and serve it.

However because of original sin humans are not worthy to be subservient to this god. Therefore if things remain unchanged god will torture you forever.

In order to fix this problem god decided to torture his son for a few hours by arranging to have him killed by crucifixion and then raised from the dead.

Since god has had his bloodlust sated he is now willing to not torture you forever provided you recognize that Jesus was tortured in your place. If you do this you get to spend all eternity bowed down groveling before this supposed god.

B) Would it make a good tract?

Why do you belive. Why do you care. Just think you use your whole life worshiping something why. Why just not care. I honestly do not care at all how I got here or what happends when I am dead. Life i think is about having fun not devoting yourself to something or someone. This is toward belivers and non belivers both try to get everyone to see it there way just stop. You will find out what happends to you when the time comes.
