Religion & Spirituality - 30 March 2007

The earliest religion is SUN worship.

Jesus is the SON. He is pictured with a halo.

The SUN dies for three days on Dec 22 when it stops it's movement south (The Winter Solstice)

..to be "born again" on Dec 25th when it resumes it's movement south.

In some areas, the calendar began in the constellation, VIRGO - making the SUN being born of a VIRGIN.

the SUN is the light of the world, "cometh inthe clouds, every eye shall see him, "rising in the morning" - reflections of it "walk on water"

The SUN has 12 disciples - 12 months=12 signs of the zodiac through which the SUN must pass.

The sun at 12:00 noon is in the house, or temple - the SON begins his father's work at age 12.

The sun enters each sign of the zodiac at 30 degrees, hence, The SON began his ministry at age, 30.

The sun is "crucified" - passing through the equinoxes - the Vernal Equinox, being easter, at which time it is then resurrected.

The reason why the savior myths are so similar with a god-man who is crucified

Some guy in New York carved a statue of Jesus -- naked, 6 feet high -- out of chocolate, and titled it "My Sweet Lord" . It is scheduled to be displayed next week (Holy week). If you find this offensive, is it because he's naked, because he's made out of chocolate, or because of the title? The person who carved the statue declined to comment (in the article I read), so I have no idea if he meant to be offensive, or if he was trying to celebrate Jesus using his medium (he is an artist that works with food). Would it make a difference to your opinion either way?

When you read this article about athiests and the split in the athiest movement?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070330/ap_on_re_us/atheists_vs__atheists;_ylt=Am8jXqBcrM7bQ509lpLFcWk7Xs8F
And does this mean Christians can start calling certain athiests 'fundies'?

I was raised Catholic but was baptized Mormon when my husband joined it. I really loved their basic teachings and loved how family oriented they were. However, I just couldn't get used to the temple and paying tithing. Haven't been back there since my divorce but would really like to go back. Anyone else had a similar experience?

Pastor's Business Card

A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners. At one
house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer
came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a
business card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it
in the door.

When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that
his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message,
"Genesis 3:10."

Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales
of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door and
knock." Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I
was afraid for I was naked."

Remember when the funniest jokes were the clean ones? They still
are! "A cheerful heart is good medicine" (Prov. 17:22)

A bunch of people say that God will kill you if you do not follow His religion and while this is true....

Who said we had the right to life in the first place? If God giveth life then shouldn't He have the right to taketh it away?

I know there are a lot of different pagan "religions" and I have always been interested in them. What is the best way for me to find out which one is good for me? And how do I presue it?
Thanks

Personally, as far as I know, I have never seen a ghost before. The assumption is that a ghost is something ethereal and transparent- not solid, like a "real" person.

I haven't ever seen one, but I do believe that they exist. But what are they? Where do they come from?

What can explain their existence, especially if the spirits of the dead are supposed to end up in either heaven or hell? Does that mean that heaven and hell are all around us?

some one answered a question saying that the Bible came Before the Quran. The Torah came before the Bible. and the Quran historicaly shows where those that read the Torah and those That read the Quran crossed paths. so it is safe to say that the Bible did not come Before the Quran. And to draw attention to more facts, the Muslims are direct descendants of Ishmael the first son of Abraham. so it is possible that in Some Cases the Quran is more acurate then the Bible. why is it So bad for us Christians to get the part where we do not not know everything?

when He is punishing sinners. For example some people believed that Hurricane Katrina was done by God's hand to open America's eyes to what really was happening in those areas. I am wondering if in the Christian religion, is it written or said anywhere that a natural disaster can be done by Satan? Is Satan able to cause physical things to be done on earth or can he only influence the human mind?

I'd appreciate answers to be by Christians who study the Bible and know the doctrines. I am looking for real answers, not babble or rants from non-Christians. I'd appreciate that. Thanks!

because the Bible says so (II Peter 2:7). We also know for a fact that Lot got drunk, had sex with his own daughters (Genesis 19:31ff), and got them both pregnant.

If I did this to my daughters, would you tell people that I was a righteous man?

Do you believe that there's any Bible verse that applies to abortion? Which verse(s)? Do you believe that "abortion is murder?"

If so, would you kill a doctor who was about to perform an abortion, in order to defend the "life" of the fetus? Do you think that would be justifiable homicide? Do you believe there are any circumstances where abortion is permissible? What circumstances? Rape? Incest? To save the life of the mother? If abortion is murder, why would these special circumstances make any difference — why would they make it okay to kill a helpless fetus?

And please give a specific Bible verse to justify your position that abortion is permissible if it causes the death of an innocent baby who is the result of a rape.

From my understanding the word "pagan" used to mean someone who lived in the woods and was too far away from the city to attend church. By "used to mean" I'm talking about WAAAY back in the Middle Ages. I also understood that the Catholic Church twisted the word "pagan" to mean a heretic, a heathen, or otherwise anyone who was not a Christian and it became a negative descriptor.

Am I way off base? It seems nowadays that word is used to describe a "witch", Wiccans, etc. Is that correct? What exactly is a "pagan"?

Does this mean that those of us who simply always state that we are right instead of searching for answers should rethink our frame of mind?
