Religion & Spirituality - 4 March 2007

Recently, it's on the news that three pastors of Prayer Palace in Canada lead lavish lives. Between them, the pastors have amassed a real estate fortune worth about $12 million. Each owns a multi-million-dollar country estate ( worth as much as $5.5 million), one mansion has a home cinema, five-car garage, seven bathrooms and seven bedrooms. They share a Florida vacation villa, and the pastors and their wives drive luxurious cars – among them a Porsche Cayenne SUV, a Lexus RX 330 SUV and a Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 convertible, an Audi A6S sedan, BMW 7 Series and 3 Series sedans, a Lincoln LS and Towncar, and a red, oversized Dodge pickup. However, a continuing investigation into Canadian charities has found the church devotes little money to charitable work. In fact, the church's most recent financial statements show that only $9,443 was spent on "benevolent and charity" activities in 2005. The church's annual "missions" fluctuate between $500 and $36,704 in the past few years.

Everywhere "LORD", "GOD" and "Jehovah" appears is where the name of YHWH (Yahwah) has been removed from the Old Testament (KJV) about 6,828 times. This can be PROVEN without a shadow of doubt to ANYONE who would seriously study. In fact, the name of "Jesus" does NOT appear in the original 1611 KJV in the New Testament. The name that appears is: "Iesus" and Iesus is the son of Zeus, a mythological character!
The name of the Messiah that SHOULD have come over to the New Testament according to Bible prophecy was in fact YHWH & NEVER Jesus, Iesus, Yeshua, Yahshua, etc. Phillip was told by the Messiah when asked the question: "Show us the FATHER",
"....he that hath seen me hath SEEN the Father." Zech.14:1-9, Is. 43:10-11, Is. 7:14, Is. 9:6, Joel 2:31-32 among MANY other passages bear witness of who will return to Mt. Olivet, who the virgin born child was and who to call upon in the last days, respectively. Thus Messiah was crucified because He called Himself "I am"John 8:58. TRUTH

Okay I have a question (obviously)... Do nonBiblical believing/following people use the standard wedding vows or different ones? The standard ones come from the Bible. I am just curious. I also am wondering if they get married by a "justice of the peace" or what type of official?

PAKISTAN
Ex-policeman from Punjab kills Muslim “infidel”
by Qaiser Felix
Riaz Gondal, a retired assistant police sub-inspector, shot Muhammad Ashraf point-blank. Ashraf, a member of the Ahmadi community, was accused of trying to convert good Muslims. A spokesman for the minority denounced the lack of government support. Mandi Bahauddin (AsiaNews) – A “heretic” of Islam has been killed by a retired Muslim policeman who accused him of being “infidel and of making people infidel”. The perpetrator most probably will not even be tried for the murder. On 1 March, Riaz Gondal, a retired assistant sub-inspector of the Punjab police, shot Muhammad Ashraf point-blank and killed him instantly. Ashraf was a member of the Ahmadi minority. Before firing, Gondal shouted: “You are an infidel, and are making people infidel”.

I don't believe in aliens from outer-space, but several of my friends do. In fact, my atheist friend insists that aliens do exist. When he tries to engage me in argument about the issue, I point out to him that his believing in aliens ( no proof of their existence, by the way) but not God is contradictory but amusing, I drop it at that point. I simply don't let him draw me into a debate over something I do not believe in the existence of.

Ever notice how so many people are experts...full-fledged experts on Satan. How many times have you heard "Well, Satan works like..." or "Satan doesnt work like that, hes a deciever, what he does is..".

I mean, no hedging or humility at all. I dont even think I have ever heard someone say "Well, I think Satan works by doing X buts its hard to say". NO! Everyones an expert using conclusory "expert" language.

I guess Satan is not so smart after all, because it appears that the most igorant people in our culture have him all figured out. If I was God, I would fire him and get someone smarter.

"You can't find it by seeking, but only seekers find it."

I've heard this quote before but I'm having trouble finding out who wrote it. I wish to include it in a book that i'm writing and i would appreciate any help that you could offer. Much love and thanks.

How many of you are so blinded by what your religion says that you look down on other people who may be great loving people just because they don't believe the same thing?

How many of you assume that your religious bad guy is working in their lives to make them horrible people?

How many of you judge other people that way?

And finally, does your religion condone looking at people that way at all? Does it make you feel good or "better" than them to do so?

We listen to many dedicated religious people here; do we practically have some plans to contribute for the betterment of something or someone?

Share your views.
Thanks.

"Those who go to hell deserve their eternal super torture".

Ok, then that means Satan merely does the hard work of punishing the wrong doers. If Judges (who sentence) and Officer deserve respect, then Satan does to.

So why does Satan get sucha bad rap, I mean, think of how hard the work is. In fact, Satan should be the most respect angel of all because he does all the heavy lifting nd doesnt get to enjoy the heavenly party like everyone else.

Satan is kinda like the house slave who never gets to eat any of the table scraps.

The Hebrew Scriptures tell us that time is very short.
Do not let some religion deceive you in to believing you will have years to live out a life of sin.

When they're beatified for their exemplary goodness here on earth, do you think they're rewarded with some level of omnipotence in heaven?

I was taught of their intercession for our prayers to be answered, but many people devote their lives to saints. (?)

Are you tired of people disrespecting God by asking questions that are contradictory to His teachings? I am sick and tired of atheists and other people who think that they now it all and that we Christians are just stupid or smoking something. It frustrates me when people ask questions that are saying that we are crazy and retarded. I wish that people would respect other people. I wish that people would just give Jesus a chance to change their lives for the better. Don't you wish that too?

On the contrary, American muslims sympathize with the extremists and hate America. So I ask, WHY ARE MUSLIMS IN AMIERICA if they hate us and will not speak out against terrorists?

Is there anyone that puts God before their kids?
Can you say to them that they're not as important as God right into their faces?
Would you kill your family and yourself for God/do anything for God?
That's what terrorists do. They're brain washed and give up all of their free will. Is what you think similar to that of the terrorists?
