Religion & Spirituality - 11 May 2007

I'm basically surrounded by hypocricy, and I don't believe in the protestant doctrine of faith alone, but at the same time everyone I know that is Catholic doesn't take their faith seriously. If there is a Christian out there who actually aims to live up to what is said in 1 Timothy 6.11-16, I would be very glad to talk to you, as I need some guidance in my faith. Do let me know and we can contact each other, because genuine Christians are definately lacking in today's world...

Fellows,

Just a bit of a query to the believers out there- is there truth outside of the Bible or is the Bible the only truth?

You see, there are many who claim that nothing but the Bible can be used for fellowship, but is not ALL truth good- and is not ALL truth from and of God? If not ALL truth is of God, then some truth is wordly?

Please, no scripture references- I know them all. Just philosophize a bit with me.

Thanks for your time.

Is it possible that there's a being in existence that could be thought of as a Demon Christ? Let me elaborate. We have Christ on one side that is all holy and Satan on the other team who is everything evil. Why can't there be a middle man in this scale like a Demon Christ? He's not real good but he's not real bad either. He’s not delivering any miracles but he's not tempting you to eat any forbidden fruit.

I have a picture if anyone needs any visual stimulation to help understand the complexities of Demon Christ.


Let me add.
1.)Demon Christ is not a bad man so consequently he can't be the anti-christ.
2.)Demon Christ doesn't care that you people are none believers.
3.)Demon Christ is not planning on ending the word.
4.) Demon Christ enjoys the company of his friends.
5.) Occasionally experiences road rage.
6.) Never goes to church but does keep a Bible on his book shelf because he appreciates the character of the o

Considering the way YA lists the questions and answers, is there much value to taking time and writing a thought out answer knowing that most people would have already been through the question even before your answer gets posted?

The one line answers at the top are always the ones with the most thumbs up/down.

I'm still rather new here so I like to take the time and write something thoughtful and interesting, but is there a point if it doesn't get read?

Maybe it's the time of day, but I thought the question below would have had more activity.

Since the Lord Jesus actually died so many years after the foundation of the world.. how is it that John the baptist introduced the Lord in such a way? As the one slain FROM the foundation of the world! Even before man sinned the Lord Jesus as the Lamb was slain. This I find totally mind boggling and I believe it has much to do with the fact that the Lord Jesus died in three statuses.. As the Lamb of God.. As the Grain of wheat and as the Brass Serpent. The first to deal with our sins, the other to release His life as the grain of wheat to produce the many grains.. and as the Brass serpent in order to deal with the serpentine nature we inherited and we poisoned with because of the fall... What is your take on this matter.

There are Christians out there who do not support Bush. I don't believe he was sent by God. I think he was sent by Satan. I don't support anyone who starts wars with people who did not attack them.

Why do so many Christians think Bush was sent by God to run this country?
(If you are a Christian and do not believe Bush was sent by God, I am not referring to you.)

Since no peace will ever be possible with these barbarians because their holy books mandate eternal war with those who will not believe as they do (us). Why don't we just say look, these countries are yours, this is the boundary, and all these other countries are free. Cross this boundary and we fight.
Then we would have the muslim world and the sane world, well armed on both sides. Could this be where we are heading?

Things did notgo as planned as I thought they would and as a result I am dissapointed at God and feel he is not helping me. I lost my job and having a hell of a time trying to get another one and I am working so hard. I have been through a lot and I feel
hurt.

I dont expect life to be prefect or to get everything I want however I do feel that enough is enough and I need divine intervention?

Have any of you felt this way Have you ever been angry at God?
How did you overcome?

I don't go to "church" but I go by myself to pray, meditate, think, and stuff like that. Most times in the day it will be closed and at night it's a pretty much gaurantee. Wouldn't it be nice if the doors were open 24/7.

Do you trust your contacts, your guides absolutely?
Or do you use some discernment, some critical faculty?
Recently I have seem two cases where absolute trust has resulted in so much pain and suffering.
Those from other realms can also get it wrong.
I truly ask this out of compassion. . .
If you do place absolute trust in them, if you don't already use your faculty of discernment, of simple common sense - then please will you?

Evolution is NOT just a theory.
It does NOT say we evolved from monkeys.
It does NOT say we're all just one big accident.

Seriously... have you people who reject evolution researched it at all?

Why do non-christians, or even non-religious people, go out of there way to belittle peoples beliefs? If you don't want to listen to it, move on. No one is forcing you to listen. You have legs. You have the freedom of choice.

It does not. God does not put people in hell for His enjoyment or satisfaction. But having done all that there is possible for Him to do---in order to preserve His righteousness, and justice--He cannot compromise Who He is. He even paid the price of the cross.
So if someone is in hell, they are left without excuse--having rejected all that God has done for them, agree?

Before this period of time I discoverd a large Satanic cult in the town I lived in. I started to tell people what I discoverd, this is when I learned that this Secret Society was watching me. I began to receive verbal threats against myself and family memburs. I discoverd this cult is extreamly large, dangerouse, secretive, and spreading like a cancer threw society. To the best of my nowledge this organization tricks seduces and forces its victims to play occult games and practices causing the spirit of the Antichrist/Satan to enter the persons soul and enslaveing them/bondage to witch craft/Demonic forces. After this the ceremony Trancindental Meditaion, "down the rabit /Pie hole" assissted with witchcraft. Durring period when oil wells were lit ablaze I was attacked on three differn't occassions all at night by a scorpion Demon. The third time I was attacked this Demon took its tail placed it on my left hand and sent waves of fire threw my soul. Locust = Scorpion Demon & stings

God is eternal, therefore it makes no sense for God to limit Himself to the temporal condition. God sees you as you will one day be, perfected through the sacrifice of Christ, as His child forever in eternity.

First, I have to just really know, are you super religious, up to the point where you might be called a fanatical Christian? Do you take the bible literally, word for word, story for story? Secondly, what makes your religion so much better then everyone else's in this world that you make it YOUR mission to convert everyone, so they can be "saved"? Do you respect all religions in the world and acknowledge the good of each and every religion? If you do, then why are you trying to pry these people away from their religion and try to get them to believe in exactly what you believe, which is basically conforming them? What makes you think that YOUR religion is the only right one, while everyone else's isnt as good?
