Religion & Spirituality - 23 March 2007

I always carry a rosary and lately I have seen pictures of people who have been wearing them around their necks. I did some online research and discovered that there are even catholic stores online which sell rosaries with clasps so they can be worn around the neck. From what I understand, as long as it is not blessed, it is okay. I would like to always have my rosary so easily available, and it would be an expression of faith on my part. What are your thoughts, as a Catholic seeing this would you think it was sacreligious or an okay thing to do?

I mean, hey, if there is this god dude and devil dude, and the god dude sometimes lets the devil dude put demon dudes in some human dudes from time to time, how 'bout it?

I'd have the proof I'd need to believe in a god, and since I'd know that there's a god now for sure, I'd be able to believe in him and cast the demon back out once I was done having fun with it.

So, how 'bout it? How do you invite demons in? I've played with tarot cards and ouija boards, but I realized it was just psychological projection and ideomotor effect. I've drawn a pentagram of my own blood as a signature on a printed contract that claimed to sell my soul to the devil dude.

And yet, no demons. :(

So how do I get the whole pea-soup spitting, head spinning effect going on?

It's not. It's another word for messiah, which is a title. Messiah, in turn, is a Jewish word and concept that refers to a great HUMAN BEING (not a demi-god) like King David, who is expected to be a leader who rebuilds the temple. Jesus was Jesus of Nazareth.

move a lamp or something.

what sort of god would demand obedience, yet not make it clear and obvious to understand.

you can't just expect a child to behave how you want them to, unless you tell and teach them, it's a bit unrealistic and unfair.

what about people who don't have access to a bible, or missionary, are they heathens for not knowing about god

Is the story of an apostle writing a gospel about Jesus telling a parable in any way like a picture of a man painting a picture of a man painting a picture?

Stay with me on this:

1) If God doesn't believe in a HIGHER God, then he is an Atheist
2) God doesn't believe in a HIGHER God.
3) Therefore God is an Atheist.

Besides Judaism, Islam, or Buddhism? I know that I believe in a God, but I'm just not sure that believe in Christianity anymore. I just don't think that the idea of God can be summed up all in one book, and I think that anything that claims to be ruled by grace and law is a complete paradox and makes no sense. I also don't think that God would have to send a savior. He makes up the rules and is all powerful, so he could have easily said, "No blood sacrifice is required, I love all my children so therefore, you're all saved." I'm not saying that Jesus didn't have good things to say, but I don't think his death should have been necessary. And considering that is what the faith is based on, if I don't believe that part, how can I carry on the rest?

I believe that God can be more easily reached by experiencing the beauty of his creations and I don't think that the ideas of Christianity describe what God is really like. How can I begin my search into other faiths?

Is that what we are supposed to believe? Off the mark is so serious that we would supposedly go to hell?

Couldn't we just have asked for forgiveness because our aim was off a little? I mean, don't you still have to ask for forgiveness to be "saved"?

Everyone seems to disagree with the meaning of almost every part of it.... Yuo would think an all-powerful being could and would have made it pretty straight forward, since the message is supposed to be so simple.

Law - he's a Thief: Moses' Seat: Accusation-all.
Law - he's a Victim: Jesus' right Stand: Pity-all.
Solomon: "understanding" = "grace glory" crown.

God did not send his Son to condemn: John 3:17.
No accusation occurs from Christ John 5:45.
No condemnation from Christ John 8: 3-11.
Christ: is the end of the law: Romans 10:4
So what's with the law vs law sides war?

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to go into hell." Matthew 5:27-20

Put down your joysticks, all who read this, or pay for your wickedness in eternal damnation! Bless you.

Say that Jesus was born to a Virgin and that it was an Immaculate conception? I don't want you to list what you think are facts, Just answer the question. realistically How hard would it have been for them to add a twist of mythology to the story?

Click this link for all of them, but below are some to get you started:

1) Ask them why they are bitter against God.

2) Tell them that if there's no God, they might as well go out and kill people.

3) Ask them to pray with you.

4) Invite their children to go to church with you.

5) Insist that there is a God, and show them where in the Bible it says so.

6) Hide Chick tracts in clever places around their office.

7) Tell them that the universe is too complex to "just exist," and must have been created by a God who "just exists."

8) Make up statistics.

9) End a discussion with "Well, I know you're smarter than I am, but I know I'm right."

10) Accuse them of persecuting you.

11) Bring up arguments that make no sense whatsoever; criticze their response with "You're just not making sense."

12) Use multiple versions of Pascal's Wager as though you thought them up yourself.

The Miss R&S Regular pagent, they are all winners, they are all beautiful and intelligent, and we have come to look to their questions and answers to better our lives and our souls.

Thank you,
