Religion & Spirituality - 17 March 2007

Would you please, accept my deepest apology, for the attitude I 'used' to have about Atheism and Evolution?

Some may be wondering: where did this sudden change come from?

Well, in all honestly from an article, which I literally finished reading; just before asking my question of Atheists and putting my request to Christians.

ALL CHRISTIANS ::: Please, do yourself a favor, read it.

Trust me, it will open your heart and mind to the pain that Atheists are made to go through everyday --- because of 'faith' being shoved down their throats!!

Why are churches doing this? Why are pastors, parents, grand-parents, other family and even friends "forcing Beliefs and Faith" on people? IF church members are responsible for driving people away, who do you think God 'should' hold accountable?

I noticed that Freemasons have to pay monthly dues and or annual dues to support their lodge. How much does it cost an average man annually to be a Freemason?

My shackles are gone, My spirit is free,
Oh praise the Lord - He lifted me -
My sins are forgiven - and now I am free!
Oh praise the Lord my shackles are gone
My spirit is free.

Are you still bound by sin and shameful ways?
You can be set free from the power of sin too!

I say no, because when those things took place America was not a nation that was fully organised in terms of politics, society, structure, economy, defence or socially. The america we see today was not the america that was 100 years ago. So how can america as a nation be held responsible for those dark chapters which took place 100 years ago?

by the way i am not an american , nor do i live in america

Church leader Archdeacon Ven Phillip Isaac of Trinidad & Tobago insists that the star's lifestyle does not conform to "biblical teaching" and wants him banned from the island, the fear is that the Tobago islanders may catch homosexuality from Elton if they see him perform at a concert about to be staged...?

How come the writer of Hebrews, employing Melchizedek as a type of Christ, refers to him as being "..without father, without mother, without genealogy, HAVING NEITHER BEGINNING OF DAYS NOR END OF LIFE, but MADE LIKE THE SON OF GOD, remains a priest continually." Hebrews 7:3 (caps for emphasis). Why would the writer use such a phrase as "having neither beginning of days" in reference to a type of Jesus ? If Jesus was created, wouldn't this be misleading ?

PS I'm familiar with WT theology. No long - winded arguments on John 1:1, etc. I would like you to address this particular passage, please.

Thanks in advance for all replies.

Most moslems dont know that the Koran has perveted the teachings of the Bible. When they get a real Bible, they find the truth.

I do believe in God as the reality of the Existence but i don't believe in a special religion ... i don't really understand why it is unbelievable that Jesus had gotten married since i have read in the new testament that Jesus promotes others to marry!

first of all i am a pakistani ex muslim ok. i am not a racist and i know that every human being is beautiful specially every lady ok. but i have to ask this,
i honestly have to say that anglo saxon , scandinavian and latino ladies hit the top list when it comes to beauty. as i said this is not a matter of racism and i once again say that women of all races are beautiful.
could anglo, scandinavian and latino female genes be the reason?

(now other ladies please dont be angry with me because once again i say you all are pretty. )

i am in a store. i went to the back corner. i find a black candle, but to get to this you have to go down this carpet, sort of red carpet kind of thing. but the cartpet is black. the set up of the carpet, the railings on each sides of the carpet, and the black candle at the end reminded me of a witch craft kind of altar. i walked half way down the carpet when i felt myself being sucked down by an unknown force. i screamed, father help me,save me. then i was lifted by a white figure and placed back ot the end of the carpet. what does this mean?

One Jesus might have been risky, disease or wars could have knocked him out of the running so maybe there were several Jesus's born as insurance...several young girls suddenly miraculously pregnant , maybe the other Jesus's didn't all make it but just maybe some did.
