Religion & Spirituality - 19 April 2007

...(Bruce Willis style) and during the inevitable press conference it was noted he wore a crucifix, would I be reading "He's a Christian" all over R&S?

It's just that it seems like the villain of the moment actually said he was a Christian, but I'm reading "he claimed to be Christian" "he probably wasn't really saved."

Just wondering.

Acording to Islam 'Jesus Crist' is "Esa Alayslam". When Jesus was beeing tourcharing, Allah took him to the sky & send another man looks like Jesus. Cristians thought that he is Jesus. So what does it Means? Cristianity Fake???? Because Islam has many things that proves its Truthfullness!

I fail to understand a culture that demands you go to church, and if you dont you are treated with deep suspicion, yet

They condone execution for example, how do they balance that with their god. Would Jesus have signed an execution paper or given the accused the chance to redeem themselves in prison?

I am not religious but am spiritual and and have empathy to my fellow man, and am staunchly against execution

And do you wonder how anyone can possibly think it's worthwhile or quality programming? There is nothing meaningful to be had here-it's all shallow, cheesy and incredibly bad tast. Chintzy looking gold chairs-men still wearing '70s-style leisure suits, and women with strangely colored hair so big it needs to have it's own zip code? It's like Jim and Tammy Faye-only twice as bad. I would think it would turn people away from Christianity altogether-it's quite obvious these people just want your cash.

In an answer to a previous question, a christian made the argument that guns are a tool from god that allows us to protect ourselves? Why would he need to give us tools to protect ourselves if he told us to turn the other cheek when struck?

How is "God's Plan" affected by free will? When Cho shoots someone, is that Cho's plan or God's plan? How can yo have God's Plan and free will at the same time? Yuo can't just say "God knew what he would choose." Knowing what Cho would choose and planning for him to do it are two different things.

When I first started coming to YA it was out of curiosity and to learn more about Islam. Then I started meeting people here and I made some wonderful friends. I have contributed in many different categories and believe I have actually been able to help a few people.

Unfortunately I have also seen how angry and intolerant some people are. I have seen what the media has done to sway people's opinions in many different areas. I have been cloned and attacked many times for supporting Islam and being happily married to a Musim man.

So, my question is this: Do you come here to help people? To learn? To spead your beliefs? Or, be honest, do you come here to argue with people you do not agree with? And, has your time spent on Yahoo Answers affected how you feel about certain issues?

The Dead Are Unconscious.

The condition of the dead is made clear at Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, where we read: “The dead know nothing . . . There is no pursuit, no plan, no knowledge or intelligence, within the grave.” (Moffatt) Death, therefore, is a state of nonexistence. The psalmist wrote that when a person dies, “he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.”—Psalm 146:4.So the dead are unconscious, inactive. When pronouncing sentence upon Adam, God stated: “Dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Genesis 3:19) Before God formed him from the dust of the ground and gave him life, Adam did not exist. When he died, Adam returned to that state.
There is hope for those who have died the bible promises. Almighty God has not only the power but also the desire to resurrect persons whom he chooses. Jesus Christ himself said: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.”—John 5:28, 29

We don't even know who wrote the book, and we cant even authenticate parts of it, and yet we attach ourselves to the book (some even take its words literally) that has little or no affiliation to god.

Yes, it talks about jesus, but could it just have been a madman's rantings about a martyr? Not only that but how do we even know if god would have wanted us to study this text (just because the bible says so is not an accurate enough source, don't forget it was wrought by human hands)

And finally, would god want us to do what we do because we take a book so literally?? (ie sins of sodom, yes i know there is a leviticus verse saying something along the lines "no man shall lie next to another like a woman" but how can we verify this is what god would have wanted??

that less people decided to keep weapons just in-case they need to defend themselves, then there would be less need to defend themselves.
like womd, gw bush decides its ok for his country to have them because hes 'trust worthy', but not others.
if he set an example for the world rather than be an antagonist, and a 'do as i say not as i do', less countries would be pisssed off with the usa.
if there were less guns there would be less chance of accidents involving children, less desensitisation to killing and so forth
its a domino effect, either way

australia has a strict gun ownership policy, and even though there may be still a few occurances of death and crime involving guns, i dread to think of what it would be like if it was a free for all.
i'd be terified to walk down the street if i knew most people had guns.
not saying all gun users are flipo's but some are.
i feel safer with a low tolerace of guns society, than a 'needing' to own a gun society

and there's nothing in between? You're either alive or dead.

God is of the living not of the dead. The demons in people pretend to be your souls but really are parsites that want to destory you and see you on judgement day to be annihilated with them. Before that, they pose as dead people.

there because she got a divorce from the guy she was previously married to. She said she divorced him because he was physically abusive and that he almost killed her.

Cain didin't give an excellent sacrifice, Able did. God respected Ables sacrifice.

Cho wrote a poem of death & addressed certain individuals in poem class (students didn't come to class then because they sensed he was a threat). The teacher didn't favor Cho's work, so Cho withdrew from the class (rather than doing good).

In Cain & Able, the LORD asked Cain why he was angry? If he did well, he would be accepted; and if he didn't do well, sin lies at the door. And the desire to do sin...and he needed to resist it.

Just like Cho wouldn't start writing better poems (though given an oportunity to), Cain didn't want to give his firstfruits (best) & instead the desire to kill ruled them.
