Religion & Spirituality - 5 March 2007

Why would you even say this? We are christians, we believe in Jesus, Jesus even tells us that HE IS NOT GOD. Pretty much a cult is a group living as extremist under a leader, we are not extremist and we don't live under a leader. So how would you come about w/ the conclusion of this?
Even Jesus gave praise to Jehovah, so why would we (anyone) today give all praise to Jesus, when Jesus himself said that he is NOT the most high?
We do not have our own bible, you can take any scripture in the nwt and compare it w/ other bibles and it means the same exact thing, actually "christian" religions started taking out Jehovah's name to distract ones from the true God, and they replaced his name with God, and Lord. We replaced Gods name where it should have been, so in fact your bible has changed.

I am never going to completely believe something without hard proof. The best I can make is an assumption that it is true.

It all seems so improbable to me and there is no evidence for the existence of a father-like God or of people raising from the dead after being mangled beyond recognition.

The only reasons why I am considering Christianity is that I want it to be true and there is still a very small possibility that I might just be ignorant and it might be true.

Jesus said that if you have "faith as much as a mustard seed, you can move mountains".

...but will that mustard seed be enough to get me to see God and all the answers that can never be found in this life?

There seem to be quit a few literary depictions in bible that typically would be perceived as fictional. Do you feel the evidence in this "Docudrama" speaks to the dissolution of those stories? (Specifically the Resurrection). Does this also raise questions about the trinity after the death of Christ? Consequently does it matter to you if Jesus’' body had not ascended?

why did god make us when he new we would sin, suffer and die? the only way i can get my head around this is to think we need to suffer the consequences of sin, to learn from its fruit (tree of knowledge) .and be disgusted with it. to learn to hate it so we become loyal subjects to god. so we would become angels that unlike the original whom caused a war in heaven, when one third rebelled....we would be better subjects . tested down here on earth in a atmosphere where our own brain matter is hot wired to fiercely desire pleasures and to experience torturous pain and failures. and be eye witness to some unspeakable evils. this whole thing is set up as a test. that way heaven never has to endure evil rebellion, because its new subjects have been tested. it says we will even judge the angels, so is this because basically we will know better. the bible says that even angels are watching and learning.
what do you think of my observation. what biblical truths support or not this theory.

I hear people say things like " The Truth of Jesus Christ " and stuff like that all the time. But is it the Truth? Do they know it because they feel it? Do they feel it because they know it?

I tend to use the word Truth differantly.

I can have Faith that my car will get me to work today.
I can Believe that my car will get me to work today.
I will not KNOW that my car will get me to work today until it actually gets me to work.

And thats the Truth.

I mean, first of all, considering that probably half of Wiccans are high school kids who want to rebel from their Christian parents, do they REALLY think that their religion could be correct?

Wiccanism is based on paganism, which is pretty much people looking at the sun and saying "Oh, pretty! A god must be pulling it with a fiery chariot!

And Scientology is just a joke. The idea that aliens flew in DC-9's to Earth and dropped souls in Apes is just stupid.

At least Christianity has 1/3 of the WORLD on our side. If we are wrong, then everybody is wrong. But if Wiccan is wrong, 100 high school students are going to hell, and not much more. Also, if Scientology is wrong, about 200 rich people are going to hell, but that's about it.

At least my religion has a chance of being right.

Yes I know it's wrong. But what my real question is, what if I don't care and just do it, would God make me divorce my wife. But for a person who is already a non Christian to a Christian the person is adviced not to divorced his wife. But what if the person is a Christian and then marry a non Believer, then how? How big a sin is it to marry a non Christian? I haven't started dating the girl in specific though I love her so much and I know she likes me. I haven't started anything though tempted. I want answers from real Christians. Those that believe in the Holy Spirit for their guidance on Earth.

It's strange how so many close minded people would refuse to watch a documentary on the possibility the tomb of Jesus was found. Even at the very beginning (and end) of the program a statement was made to draw your own conclusions. Nowhere was the term FACT ever used.

Are people so afraid their faith being challenged that they would rather NOT watch another story about Jesus.

After all, the bible is FULL of just that, stories.

I would think watching such a program would strengthen ones religious preferences and it saddens me to know there are those who are a afraid enough of their own convictions to NOT watch as if somehow this would totally blow their belief....or am I missing something?

I'm reading bible last night and this thought come to my mind. Jesus knows that He will die in the cross and somebody (which is Judas) will betray Him. And it was said also that from the beginning that this is the destiny of Christ. I just thought that if this was planned by God then all of the people involve should not be blamed for what they have done coz its the will of God. Its like a script i which the actors are just following. Do you think when a baby was born that his/her destiny was written already in heaven. meaning if somebody kill himself, he is not liable to God because it is his destiny. Please enlightened me on this. I'm not being sarcastic...i'm just merely asking a question. Thank you!

Gary makes a statement about hearing the "Truth" upsetting the question's asker. This has me a bit confused. Should you be glad that the "Truth" upsets people? Shouldn't that be a bad thing? I guess if by being upset it makes you think about it, it could be a good thing, but I would just expect people to seek a different reaction.

I think it's the attitude here that bothers me. Thoughts?

(PS This statement specifically related to Christianity, but my question could apply to any "Truth".)

Its seems that whites always have to be in charge or they won't worship wiht any other race. People of color have always tried to worship with whites but are never treated as an equal. If we are called Christian why is there another name for each of us? When are Christians goint act like Christians and show the worl that Christ is real and His love is for all man kind Muslims and other groups will never come to the FAITH if we don't walk as Christians ought, being bretheren and not fake lovers of God.
