Religion & Spirituality - 18 May 2007

..when they are the ones piling into the religion and spirituality section, waiting to push Christian's buttons every time we ask a question? If God and religion really doesnt matter to you guys, I don't see the purpose of even coming on here. Let us believe what we want in peace.

Can I pick my own number?

Revelations 13:18
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding COUNT the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The number of MAN is 666, so why do most people assume it's the number of the beast?
Does anyone know the Count (the Number)?
What's the number and significance?
I would like esoteric, Masonic, and the like, type answers if some of you have any. Is the number of the beast really 666? Why do you believe so. What are your sources?
Thanks in advance.

And don't give me 'but Atheists attack Christians!' cause I don't buy into all that. Do we really know who cast the first stone? But anyway, it seems though that of the 6,560,000,000 people on Earth as of January 2007, 2.100 billion are Christian, with Buddhism coming in next at 1.465 billion. Islam with 1.320 billion, Hinduism at 910 million, other religions at 393 million, and Atheists falling in LAST of the top five at 372 million. (after the top five, the numbers of other religions drop to 25 mil and below, I won't bother to mention them.) But doesn't it seem that if Christian's goals are to preach the gospel to the world, that Buddhist's should be their top priority since they have the next to largest number? Why target the Atheists? Again, don't say cause they targeted you first. Don't you see how easy you are to goad? And I'm not siding with anyone.

Remember, no matter what you believe, real maturity comes when you can believe that you are right and not have to prove it

Also, what did he teach to his people in the Bible regarding our diets. Did he teach staying away from lamb and cow's as food?

My guess is that it has something to do with the fact that neither Matthew nor Luke claimed that Jesus was a god.

For real has anyone really said this to you?
If so, who, were, when?
I've heard so many on Yahoo Q/A say its been said to them.
In my whole adult life no ones ever said this to me, even before I was a Christan.
I can't understand how anyone could say such a thing or pass judgement on others like that.

What is the historical origin of having church services on Sunday? I dont think sunday is any different than any other day, and my bible says, "some dont esteem one day over another"... since everyday is God's day?

I know you don´t believe in the bible but read this of the book of Revelation 17:15-18: And he says to me: “The waters that you saw, where the harlot is sitting, mean peoples and crowds and nations and tongues. 16 And the ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire. 17 For God put [it] into their hearts to carry out his thought, even to carry out [their] one thought by giving their kingdom to the wild beast, until the words of God will have been accomplished. 18 And the woman whom you saw means the great city that has a kingdom over the kings of the earth.”

The Great harlot is the religious system all false religions sooner God will make that the "kings" or goverments removed for ever the control and power the religions has in the "water" or human race.
Keep reading chapter 18 explain that the Political and economical forces won´t help them.

I was rised with "If you can't say anything nice....don't say anything at all." Which I try to follow to the best of my ability.
Then as I grew, they told me "honesty is the best policy."
This is very important when it comes to courses envolving ethics in college.
So I developed an attitude that if someone asks me, I'm not going to lie to them.
On this forum, people constantly give me thumbs down, for answering honestly in a polite manner.

So why do they act as if we (the non-xians) are so immoral?
Is it because I don't bow to their beliefs of a cruel and vendictive father figure?

Really, would you rather be lied to...or told the truth?

Just wondering about different views of what a loaded question is.
Seems you cant ask too much of anything here without someone thinking it is "loaded"

The main reason I got from Christians was that there are different laws at the time. That eating pork or trimming your beard were social laws (and therefore are ok today), but being gay is a moral law.

Where in the bible does it specify which laws are which?
