Religion & Spirituality - 27 May 2007

Just because u were brought up Christian/Jewish/Muslim/Hindu/Tribal religeons.....etc etc (sorry but they are the first that came to mind), why does that make it the right one? Is it not a bit insular and closed minded not to look into others? I think so. I love thoughts and readings from other cultures, a lot of the time they open my eyes and mind more than ever.

In the Garden of Eden God warns Adam and Eve not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge because if they do surely they will die. The Serpent says surely you will not, die but you will become like God with the knowledge of good and evil. They eat the apple and lo and behold the Serpent was telling the truth and God it turns out was being dishonest. Even if the Bible is God's word doesn't he kind of blow it by lying in Chapter one? How can we trust him after that?

You agree that paranoia creates delusion so why if you're paranoid about ghosts and you see/feel one, it's not a delusion? Most of the time we just see what we expect to see and if you walk into an abandoned mental institution that's supposedly haunted, how can you not be paranoid? There are all sorts of probability errors.

Christians tell me that a just god does not allow sin to be in heaven and therefore cannot allow those who have not come to him to be in heaven. I just dont understand that. Is it because that concept is all you know or does your heart truly condone such an Idea. God says to not look to man but to him, and i can see why you would believe you pastors about hell. Yet there are other alternatives like universalism that uses scripture to justify its reasoning. Universalism is the belief that none should burn eternally in hell. Do you then still believe in your heart of hearts that an eternal punishment is just ? I challenge you to look at this site, a resource fighting in the name of universalism

The nation of the world was often portrayed in the Bible as beast. (Daniel 7) I notice, money conveys the mark of the beast (such as flag) name of the beast (such USA, Germany, Japan) or the number of his name (value of his currency?)

And that no man might BUY or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast or the number of his name. (Rev.13:17)

The Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of Buddhism. He was picked out for this role as a small child and groomed in Buddhist beliefs all his life.

Now from what I understand, he's also a deeply compassionate and forgiving person. He has been quoted as saying something like (paraphrased by me from memory): "(when China took over Tibet and caused him to have to flee for his life) I was in danger of failing to forgive the Chinese"

He worried about loving and forgiving the Chinese more than he worried about his own safety.

In other words he is forgiving and loving to a very high degree.

Now, assuming this is a Catholic/Christian universe, assuming all love has it's source from God, and assuming that his upbringing indoctrinated him quite firmly into Buddhism (and continues to do so), do you think that Jesus will have Mercy on him when he dies and allow him into Heaven?

Remember, this is a hypothetical question working under the assumption of a Catholic/Christian universe!

If the lake of fire is eternal where will it be in the new heaven and new earth...how could it possibly exist.

Revelation 21:1-8, "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away

Why do you always quote the bible, when trying to prove God's existence to athiests when you know that athiest think that the bible is full of ballony?

Why do you quote the bible, whenever you're trying to prove that Islam is a false religion when you know that the Muslims know that the bible has been changed time and time again?


It's no use trying to prove something when people dont believe your one and only source.

My Bible says:
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, THE MIGHTY GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. Lk. 1.32, 33 The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Who is this talking about other than the son of God

O Bible Believers, why not you reveal your god that Jesus has paid the price of your crimes and sins?
Most of culprits, sinners, alchohlic and adulterous Christians are being afflicted by God with STD (Sexually transmitted diseases) including AIDS, Hepatitis and painful torments. Why not you tell your god that Jesus has paid the price and do not afflict us due out sins, crimes and transgressions??? Or your sins, crimes and transgressions exceeded than price paid by Jesus?????

I know this for a fact. When I was at the vegetable market (popular in my city) and shopping with my daughter while pregnant with my son, I met this very elderly couple looking at the vegetable buckets. I forget how the conversation started, but they told me of how they were in Palestine in 1948 and were kicked from their homes seized by the Jewish. They told me of how the Jewish were destroying everything that was not owned by jews, and that was all not just muslims. How can people so blindly support them because a book says to? That same book also says it has been corrupted by the lying hands of the Jewish scribes. I'm not against Jews, but I do want to get the facts out. What justifies shooting a pregnant woman in the stomach, and the baby being born with a bullet in its back? NOTHING. I don't care what you say, nothing can justify shooting at a pregnant woman or child, or aiming at children hiding behind their mother. Need that exact verse? No problem!

Don't automatically assume that Novus Ordo Mass means a ton of liturgical abuses either. I mean a devoutly and correctly done Novus Ordo Mass.

It seems like every Catholic I speak to gushes on and on about Latin Mass... But I honestly like the Novus Ordo Mass more. (I'm not so keen on the Orans Position being used by the Laity during the Our Father...) But other than that I love the Novus Ordo Mass served at my Parish from beginning to end.

But don't assume I'm some sort of wishy washy cafeteria Catholic either. I'm definitely a Conservative, and devout Catholic. I follow profess the Church's Doctrines and Dogma full heartedly,

So am I really the only Novus Ordo Mass fan in the universe, because sometimes it seems that way!
