Religion & Spirituality - 24 March 2007

My best friend, who is only 26, has been sick for over a year now. Last October she was deemed terminally ill and is in desperate of a new heart. The only catch is last Oct. after putting a pacemaker in, she ran away from the hospital. She was pregnant at the time, so it wasn't long before she was back. They found traces of drugs in her system and took her off of the heart transplant list.

Here we are in March, her kidneys and liver started failing in December. Her gall bladder just recently started to join that list. It's been a rough roller coaster over the past two months. she has an internal bleed tha doctor's say they can't fix. she tells me she wants to live. My heart says that she can make it if she fights hard enough. The logical part of me knows that she can't survive much longer without a new heart. How do I keep my faith?

Is this the sifting the shaft from the wheat, that the bible speaks of? It seems that they're more atheists than ever before.

It's a peaceful religion. Just because a few people might not make it peaceful, and the news brainwashes you people it doesn't make it bad.

"I don't care how holy somebody claims to be, if a person tells you it's My will that they kill someone, they're wrong. Got it? I don't care what religion you are, or who you think your enemy is, here it is one more time: No killing, in My name or anyone else's, ever again."

Like Joshua 11:20 in which he hardens the hearts of the enemies of Israel, and build hatred in their hearts so that they would attack Israel and be defeated.
Total set-up.
Is this a common scheme for god?

What were your dreams growing up? For me, the major thing was being a mommy. I don't know why, maybe it was what I learned, but being a mother was considered the greatest thing. Cute baby, cute clothing, happy children. Well, that dream came true and I have a 3 year old girl and a 1 year old boy, both of whom I dress up daily and for my 3 year old, I like to style her hair. What were you dreams and how have you pursued them?

Boukhari,Volume 4, Book 55, Number 641:

Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab:

Abu Huraira said, "I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'There is none born among the off-spring of Adam, but Satan touches it. A child therefore, cries loudly at the time of birth because of the touch of Satan, except Mary and her child." Then Abu Huraira recited: "And I seek refuge with You for her and for her offspring from the outcast Satan" (3.36)

Are celebrities like Nicole Kidman, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie etc... going to Hell forever if they don't repent the adultery that resulted in remarrying?

This whole 2012 armageddon thing--if they don't believe anything else Mayan, why are they stealing that date for their next End-of-the-world party? Will they ever stop ripping crap off from pagan religions? How can they say they don't edit or add to God's holey word, when they just added this right in front of us while we were all watching?

i've often pondered what exactly is god's plan. i always here people saying god has a special plan for all of us. but what exactly does that mean? let me elaborate. let's say god's plan for me today was to find a dollar on the ground. does that not mean it was also in his plan for someone else to lose a dollar? or, to take it a step further, let's say god's plan for me is to kill a murderer. wouldn't that mean that he already had planned for someone to be a murderer? that's sort of a messed up plan for one's life. any ideas on this?

A lot of people calling themselves Christians like to judge people and say who is going to hell and who is not. I consider myself a Christian and believe this is just wrong you can not judge only God can. If you believe all non Christians go to hell how do you explain people in other contries who are not Christian having a good experience. I think God is fair and rewards people who have lived a good life. The downfall of Christianity is going to be you people who judge people. Shame on you.

Do you feel WWIII brewing? Hostile countries everywhere, smaller US army that's spread too thin, alot of people blind because they're chasing the American Dream. Sounds like somebody's about to wake up to me.

Can you tell me how your belief is different from protestant Christianity? What brings you the most peace in your religion? Do you think the prophets come every lifetime? (I heard that from a Rastafari man before).

They removed an answer I placed simply because I mentioned exodus international, an organization of ex gays. Whether you disagree with me or not, deleting the answer was censorship. Chrsitians are insulted freely on this site, but when a person speaks truth, yahoo folds to the PC crowd. Very sad, but not unexpected.
