Religion & Spirituality - 22 February 2007

of Gods Redeeming Grace (Through faith in Jesus Christ and that He shed His own blood for the remission of their sins and raised from the dead.); that if they reject God's love & God's Truth, that they won't go to heaven.

Even if they never hear of it, yet never truly searched for God's Truth that their sins aren't covered. That they won't go to heaven?

Do they realize that when they murder for the cause of the Islam Allah, they will go to hell?

and I thought, gee whiz, what an amazing coincidence. It takes man thousands of years, tons of intelligent thinking/science, and many tragic deaths to achieve flight, but over millions of years, random chance mutations have resulted in it happening all naturally? What an amazing feat of nature!

Then I snapped out of it, and then reconfirmed to myself that there is a creator, nature declares it!

You guess really believe evolution is true? Phew, that takes a lot of faith! I would think the more you study biology, the more you see the hand of a creator in his creation.

That's all...

I found that the Jewish religion eats apple fritters. But I am having a problem as to why they eat they and for which holiday and what the significance behind it is... I ordered three dozen of the fritters for my class and now I need an explanation to why I am giving them to the class. Anyone have the slightest idea??

Do you think that Autism is the next form of evolution?
I think if science can come up with a cure for some of
their behavior without taking away their brilliance,
we may have our next leap in all types of discoveries.
Also God and evolution can co-exist as one in the same.
Match up all of the evidence with the Bible and everything
we've learnd so far, to me it pans out. This is only my thought
To Autistic people all over the world this is not a ploy to bring you down or talk about your "handicap" if you allow people to say that you are slow then thats on you. I've seen some amazing stories about Autism and I didn't think that Autism was something to laugh at. So read, watch, learn of others who have Autism and maybe you'll open your eyes to what I see.

Also to people who say that God and Evolution cannot co-exist you are the dumbest persons I've ever encountered on this site. The Bible (God/Gods) and Science existed together since man. Or did the Greeks, Romans, Egypti

The Bible, believe in it or not, is stories told by humans of a God, and how he wants you to live your life. The main goal of life seems to be praising him. He created us, and gave us free will so we would come to him and love him without being forced into it, making it real love.

Loving him was being one with God, but everytime we did something God didn't like, we would grow farther apart from him. This is known as sin. The first humans did it, the last humans probably will.

He sees this constant sinning and isn't pleased, he kills his creation almost in its entirety at one point due to how far away from him they were living.

God then shows himself in the human form in a man we know as Jesus Christ. He shows how to be one with God, and one with his Glory.

Jesus Christ, however, was not born with this free will as He was God. He is God in the human form, therefore he was God. Without free will, you become a sheep.

Jesus was a sheep.

You're trying to be a sheep.

If there are times when it is godly to show anger, please give examples.

"The wrath of man doesn't accomplish the righteousness of God."

If God only beckons certain people, and someone wasn't beckoned by him and became a Christian anyway, since they weren't intended to spent eternity in Heaven, would they end up in Hell?

Egyptian blogger Kareem was just sentenced to 3 years in prison for speaking against radical Islam. Is Islam that against freedom of speech that one can't even examine or criticize it?

I mean he goes through all this trouble to make sure those who choose get saved by him to live in Heaven forever, but why go through all the trouble? Are humans the centre of his universe?

i'm a christian teenager (15 and pentecostal). i've been a christian my whole life ,raised in church, but lately its all been a routine. i go to church, i come home from church. blah, blah, blah. i want to go deeper with my relationship with god, but for some reason it's not working out. my youth pastor says that in order to start that hunger and need for more of god, i need to spend time with him everyday. i try, but reading the bible is just really boring and i can't figure out how it applys to me. i've tried the little teenage devotional books, they don't work either. praying is something i put off all day until i'm drifting off to sleep at night. i hate it. it's like a want to be a stronger christian, but i just don't want to put in the time and effort it takes to continue a relationship. any older christians with advice? thanks!!

I don't understand this theory at all.

If God is the perfect being then why would He feel the need to be worshipped? Surely He has complete inner contentment and would feel no urge to have people praise him or bow down to Him. Also, if he did make us why are we so flawed? God wouldn't make any mistakes or would foresee anything we could do wrong and put it right at the drawing board stage surely because He's perfect? The only other reason I can think of is that He made us for His own entertainment. But, again, does a perfect being get bored and need entertaining? I would have thought not.

i had this talk with someone close to me and he said that our world is decadin more and more..i sort of agree but we have to admit it's an excess of more than bad things..this world has passed from an age with no understandin of the people( like burned to the stake, gay men persecuted and banned, obscenity forbidden, virginity treasured..etc etc) around us to relative tolerance in some arias..i wonder just what is next for our ppl and the ones who will follow?more liberty or so much diversity it will confuse us so bad that we won't even have anythin national and original?

How do you teach anyone about Islam, without giving him the idea that we're trying to convert him?

How do you teach anyone about Christianity, without giving him the idea we're trying to convert him?

How do you teach anyone about Atheism, without giving him the idea we're trying to make him disbelieve God?



Basicly, as a Muslim, there has been a lot of misunderstanding about Islam. Whenever I *try* to clear things up, they think I'm trying to convert them and they ignore.

So how do you teach someone about a religion without making them think that we're trying to convert them into it?

This may seem like a silly question, but here goes. For a long time, since I was in high school, I've been praying for a life partner, but it still hasn't happened yet (I'm 26 now). I'm worried this might mean God doesn't have anyone planned for me to marry ever...do you think that's what it means? Or is it just not His timing yet? I'm so confused...I only want mature answers please. How do I know?

I am always rather perplexed and disheartened by the amount of rage expressed toward questioners, people of different faiths, atheists, agnostics....Does anyone else get disheartened when they come on this board no matter your beliefs?

I've polled our nonbelievers and haven't received one response that says that they haven't read/heard the gospel and understood it. My question to you is according to Mark 6:11 if we reject your message, you're to leave us and dust off your feet as a sign of warning to us. So, why are you still here?
I'm not advocating anyone leaving.. just curious as to why you continue to spread a message that we've all heard and rejected, when that's what your bible tells you to do.

I want real facts, not biased pages as to why or why it isn't true. I want to know the history of what they believe, why they believe what they do, who started it, all that good stuff. I don't want "it is true because..." I want facts supported by historical events. If anyone knows where I can find these answers, please let me know. It is very hard to find a web page without a biased tone behind it. I would like web pages, names of books, anything so that I may educate myself this world religion.

Why is it there will be no lunch breaks, no nap breaks, and no breaks if any kind? Why must this praising go on forever, and why does Jesus want to hear praises continually?

Don't you realize this doesn't make heaven sound interesting to most people? And where in the Bible are you getting your info?

If you came home 1 day and saw your mother who you love GREATLY" lieing in a pool of blood, and rite next to her layed the knife in which the criminal or murderer killed her with, would you pick it up and put it on a string and wear it round ur neck? And why would you not? So why then do people walk around with crosses when they should be obeying the most important request and commandment from Jesus at Matt:28:19,20 which says to preach the good news about the coming kingdom?
