Religion & Spirituality - 26 February 2007

I was the type of person who grew up wanting the truth and analyzing people. I grew up catholic but until now i guess i never realized how everything people do "for jesus" is completely selfish. I thought during lent you should give up something that you love, like watching your fav tv show or drinking your fav soda... why does it now mean that you stop eating pizza because you wanted to lose 10 lbs anyways....

If all Christians stayed in one circle and all Muslims in their own circle.

Athiest's should keep to themselves as well. We should segregate as a human race.....???

Is this the plan of your God? Or non-God?? Or Gods??

It would cause no further harm if we could just agree to disagree and seperate into groups?

Or any of the Earth Religions? I see a lot of people talking about what they think it is. But how many really know for sure?

Pagans can skip the answer. I know that you understand.

My friend, remove the feelings you have about ALL religion, and everything you have ever been taught. Distance yourself from your ongoing thoughts about religion and truth, etc.

And then...ask yourself, WHAT IF...?

WHAT IF...you are being deceived by Satan?
WHAT IF...you are being lied to by Satan?
WHAT IF...Satan is cleverer than you and has blinded you by his lies?
WHAT IF...you are wrong?
WHAT IF...Jesus Christ IS really the way, the truth and the life?

Isn't it idolatry? First commandment fobids us to have other gods, and worshipping saints is like treating them like gods. Am I right?

Shut in with God in a secret place,
There in the Spirit beholding His Face
Gaining new power to run in the race,
I long to be shut in with God.

For years the Big Bang theory was considered rubbish because it appeared to be too much like creationism. But now it's generally accepted.

Are atheists bias against some ideas becasue religions thought of them first?

GE 9:22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness.
GE 19:4-8 A group of sexually depraved men demands that Lot turn over to them his two male visitors. Lot offers his two virgin daughters instead.
GE 19:30-38 Lot's daughters have sexual intercourse with him while he is drunk and both become pregnant by their father.
GE 24:2-9, 47:29 "... put your hand under my thigh, and I will make you swear by the Lord ...." (Note: This means "put your hand under my testicles," which is the manner in which oaths were taken at the time; "testament," "testify," and "testicle" have the same root.)

It has to be a judgment call....unless you can know for sure what the reactions of the other people involved will be?

I don't believe that every Wiccan has the ability to "read the future".

What is your opinion?

As that is what happens to people who have cancer.I will be seeing the face of the Lord sooner. I am now afraid to die as i know where I will be going. I will be gone home to Heaven before the rapture which will be awsome.. I cannot wait. The rapture many not happend for another 200 years or more. It may happen in 2o years. But whenever it happens I will already be home. Absent from the body is present with the Lord. I know before I go I have to have a right standing with God, and make sure all of my sins are forgiven and make sure I have forgiven those that have come against me, which will be hard. It is not easy to forgive those people that are rude to you.Bur soon I will be seeing Jesus face to face. Are you afraid of death, or how you are going to die?

Note: This is a true article that was printed in a newspaper

There was an atheist couple who had a child. The couple never told their daughter anything about the Lord. One night when the little girl was 5 years old, the parents fought with each other and the Dad shot the Mom, right in front of the child. Then, the dad shot himself! The little girl watched it all. She then was sent to a foster home. The foster mother was a Christian and took the child to church. On the first day of Sunday School, the foster mother told the teacher that the girl had never heard of Jesus, and to have patience with her. The teacher held up a picture of Jesus and said, "Does anyone know who this is?" The little girl said, "I do, that's the man who was holding me the night my parents died."
