Religion & Spirituality - 3 June 2007

that it is true and uses something written by human beings as proof? I have yet to understand that. How do you know? How can any human being on this planet know absolutely for sure what is out there? And how in the world can someone "authorize" a religious book if they're a human being, king or no king? It's so confusing to me.

for example, “Six days you shall labor and so all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your god. On it you shall not do any work…” (Ex 20:9-10), and relate it saying that, Jewish rest on the Sabbath day

Which was basically meant to discuss things in a rational yet mature way of doing so instead of doing so in a way where everybody ends up ranting and raving and bashing one another which doesn't actually accomplish anything. Can we ever be able to do that on this section? Or will it be the same thing but a different day?

there were alot of guys named Jesus at that time in that area, then how do they know that all the stories in their book are about the same guy?

You never hear them debating this, and I had never heard of how popular the name was before they found his tomb.

It's proof that he lived, why are they so angry that his death doesn't match the myth?

Would there be all this questioning of Jesus, the Da Vinci Code, if the Holy Spirit had not arrived?

For the past few months, I began to notice certain things about the society and people in general. I began to realize the truth that this world holds. Certain actions, morals and ideals that I have noticed in the society are poignant, they make me feel sad, some make me mad, others make me confused and yet others make me want to change. I realized how insignificant certain things are and I saw the uttermost importance of other things. I am changing, and I am happy to be doing so. Certain things I look back at and I realize how cynical and insignificant they are.
I am also beginning to realize how corrupted this society is – the sad part: People do not see it. Most live their lives as if they are preprogrammed to do so, their lives are built on a fragile network of customs and “laws”. People live lives with their eyes closed to many truths that are obstructed by the “society”. Morbid.

HOW DO I GET ON A PATH TO ENLIGHTMENT? I WANT TO BE FREE OF INTERNAL BURDEN AND UNEASINESS.

My friend and I are emailing each other about religion. She's a Christian and I'm a pagan. She keeps saying stuff that I don't know a lot about. For instance: why do you ask saints and Mary to pray for you? According to her, you shouldn't because they are dead and they can't answer prayers.
I don't really know why she's talking to me about Catholics, I already told her that I'm not the best person to discuss that with . . . but anyway, if you can explain those things to me, please do.

-Why do you ask them to pray for you, even though they are dead?
-Aren't you, by communicating with the saints and Mary, communicating with the deceased? And how is that okay?
-How do you know that they can hear your prayers?
-Why do believe in Purgatory, even though it's not mentioned in the Bible?
Thank you in advance for your replies. : )

What Does This Scripture Mean?

Surah 3:55 Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee "superior" to those "who" reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection:

Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute."

I was overhearing a Jewish guy at the bank talking about what he was going to get his kids for Christmas. My sister said that Jewish people that celebrate Christmas like to be called completed Jews.

How is this for being Christ like?-...
From: myshieldisgod

Subject: hey pervert

Message: And what is your evidence that the creationist museums are ridiculous? What a bigotted snot you are. Do you always go about making fun of millions upon millions of Christians, and that includes little kids, and the best selling book in the world, and without bothering to use your lazy brain and fingers to type "evidence" and "bible" into a search engine?

What a stupid lazy arrogant idiot. Be ashamed of yourself. Or better yet, go about telling everyone there is no God and that its okay then to make up your own rules and rape kids.

anwersingenesis.org for your cocoon brain that wraps itself in stupid lies you don't bother to confirm as true. Can you browse that site moron? Doubtful since u are so wrapped up in moronic opinions.

Get killed sick pervert, stupid little girl never grew up.

Such as all the tar we have pour for highways? All the buildings we have built? 'Sin City? Abortions?
Those are just some examples that I mentioned..But, I do mean overall.
If I was God I know that I would be disappointed at some of the horrible things we have done to this planet! That is just my thoughts. What are yours?

Me and my wife have been together for 10 years, now here's our story: for our own reasons we went to hawaii and on the beach we exchanged vows and rings and our witness was the Lord. We have no marriage certificate. Our life together has been good. Someone brought it to our attention that we are not married because we do not have a certificate. How is this? If our vows were taken and spoken before the Lord who honors marriage then how can it be that what we have done is wrong? Does this mean we are not married and are committing adultry? Serious answers only please. God Bless.

I have been having some issues lately, I feel a disconnect between me and the Lord, I have repented of sins and maybe I'm unaware of other sin in my life. I was at church today and I had trouble worshipping the Lord. I feel so guilty! maybe I have been spending to much time on my own. I wonder if being lonely messes with my head b/c God said its not good for man to be alone. But I feel so guilty for feeling this way b/c I know others have it so much worse than me. Any advice on what I should do?

I am a decent chap, a fellow who was a child of a rape, whose teenage mother abandoned him at 2, who would make a golden life for himself in the classical theatre in New York, who is now 71, five times a grandfather, a taxpayer, an honest and truthful man, a nonbeliever in the god of Bronze Age desert nomads, and, if I may, please, I wish to speak to persons who think of themselves as Christian. Please read both the OT and the NT all the way through, make notes, if you do not understand a verse, give it a bit of research. Use your brains, they are the core of you as a human being. Think, see what you are reading, think not of the Bronze Age but of 2007. Please, dear hearts, think, think, think.
