Religion & Spirituality - 4 June 2007

If Christians can find an excuse not to follow these verses because they are “Pauls opinion” but the rest of the Bible is the “absolute word of God” then aren’t Christians just picking and choosing what their desires agree with ??

If someone says these are the opinions of one of the writers of the Bible then the Trinity can also be an opinion of men.

That means the Bible is not the “WORD OF GOD”, it is just a book written by men and Christians follow it because its all they have.

If somebody says they only follow the rules of the NT and Jesus saved them from the Law in the OT, then why don’t they follow these FEW rules as written below ?

Why should the “change of Times” affect the obedience to GODs Laws, unless the entire book is the word of Man which can change with the times.

"Any woman who prays with her head unveiled dishonors her head. It is the same as if her head were shaven, for if a woman will not veil herself then she should cut off her hair. But if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven , let her wear a veil. (1 Corenthians 11 :5).

Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her hath committed ADULTRY with HER already...-----(MATT 5:028)

To be discreet, chaste, keepers at HOME, good, OBEDIENT to their HUSBANDS... ------ (Timothy 2:005)

Likewise, ye wives, be in SUBJECTION to your own HUSBANDS. ----- (1PE 3:001)

Women should remain SILENT in the Church. They are NOT ALLOWED to speak, but must be in SUBMISSION, as the Law says. – (1 Corinthians 14:34)

"I permit NO woman to TEACH or have AUTHORITY over men". –( 1 Timothy 2:11-14)

14. Church leaders have been responsible for some of the greatest horrors in human history and are capable of doing it again. Why would you EVER think they spoke for God?
Now consider the word omniscience -- this word means all-knowing and is regularly applied to "God." Omniscience involves seeing all of time, including the future at once. Now consider the number of people who have been murdered, either directly or indirectly, as a result of Christian ideas: hundreds of thousands and, more likely, millions. Now ask yourself what sort of god would introduce such documents as the Old and New Testaments, knowing full well all the torture and horror that would be committed in their name?

15. Why would somebody as kind and great as Jesus be associated with a return accompanied by horrors, pestilence and earthquakes?

16. The idea of Jesus taking care of everything for you eliminates personal responsibility, so why bother with ethics?

11. The Jewish, Catholic and Protestant Bibles all consist of different books.

12. New Testament is obviously not divine inspiration because the accounts themselves contradict one another. IMPRESSIVE events are related in one, but not the other. The oldest manuscripts of “Mark” don’t even have the resurrection tale, nor final passages about spreading the word. With these problems exposed, why trust any of it?

13. Why trust the opinion of anyone beyond yourself? “Upon this rock” is supposed to mean Peter? Please. It’s an ambiguous statement.

This test is funny and cool. Apparently I'm a Virtuous Non-Believer, Heretics, Wrathful and Gloomy, Violent and Lustful.

What about you?

you guys ask atheists, "how can you be moral without god?"

well, we are every bit as moral as you guys.
but it seems you guys are admitting that at your root nature, you are immoral. and we are not.

so i have to conclude that atheists are >more< moral than christians, even without outside guidance to tell us what to do

thoughts?

4. The Old Testament makes no mention of New Testament events. Attempts to tie them have come later, often as ridiculous contrivances -- such as the virgin birth idea in Isaiah.

5. Scarcely any of the New Testament ideas are new. The Greeks, Egyptians, Norse and, especially, the Zoroastrians, already had beliefs in afterlifes and demigods that helped humanity (Prometheus) or were killed and resurrected (Persephone, Adonis, Mithra, Baldar, and Osiris.) Likewise, the eucharist, or eating of a god, was not new (Osiris and Meditteranean mystery religions.) The idea of an evil adversary was not new (Zoroastrianism). Mithra was eventually thought of as Ahura Mazda incarnate.

6. Why would an intelligent God speak out in only one small place, then depend on translations and tons of time when people can’t properly relate a story they heard or saw an hour ago?

I believe in God and have a very personal relationship with Him, but do not follow the teachings of any religion as I think they are all based on mostly man made traditions etc. This is the word I received from God. Most of the questions on R & S seem to focus on Christians or on atheists. Although I know that Jesus exists and that He is with God this very moment, I don't pretend to know why he came to earth or if his death had anything to do with forgiveness of sin...thus I can not be classified as a Christian. My God has only told me that He sent Jesus, that Jesus is with him now, and that Jesus is special to Him. God has also told me that each person is called by Him and that it is up to them to either ignore Him or answer. No doctrine or dogma involved...just the personal relationship...including the constant presence of God in ones life. I would not give it up to go back to being a "churchy person" Anyone else feel similarly?

it seems to me the old circular arguement will never fizzle.... why is it so hard for some to understand that if a person truly believes in something its true to them .... nothing wrong with it so why judge another? i see people on here over and over name calling and defensive over anothers truth....i just dont get how you cant get it..explain.... you can actaully say what you want without tearing apart anothers beliefs..its not hard

Looks as though GOD chose the Middle Easterns to always receive revelation and indirectly rule according to his Laws.....

I think we need to all have a deep breath and escape from the war raging between us and the athiests. Every day its "Why do christians think blah blah blah"? and likewise its "Why do athiests think blah blah"? It can get very heated in here and cause a lot of frustration. Let's think of this as a therapy session. What would you like to vent? This venting is a means of outlet so we may not say unkind things to others in our answers and that we may love and educate as Jesus did.

Strobel interviews a Christian named J.P. Moreland who says, "... I think people in heaven will realize that hell is a way of honoring people as being intrinsically valuable creatures made in God's image."and "Remember that hell will forever be a monument to human dignity and the value of human choice."

Do my fellow atheists feel as honored, dignified and valued as I do?

there is so much proof out there of possession, but everyone thinks its acting or that they have mental illnesses, would a mentally ill person be able to make the chair fly or all of a sudden have strength?? can a mentally ill person start talking different languages or a female starting to talk like a male?? dont think so! so why is it so hard for people to accept that there are demons there is a devil, and there for sure is a God?

How often have I seen "Show me the slightest credible evidence, and I'll believe" in their posts. Why does the same thing not apply to alien life? Not conjecture, not possibility, not "so many galaxies, so many planets, solar systems similar to ours, blue water based pearls with atmosphere in space, surely it's possible ". Proof to the same level as you ask for proof of the existence of a higher power, or say you don't believe, can't believe. Saying it's "so much more likely" than the existence of a higher power is not proof. That's fair, isn't it ?

My friends at R&S, I am feeling extremely confused!!!
I know this has nothing to do with religion but I'm posting this here anyways, coz I'm a regular in R&S and I have some wonderful friends here!!
My question to you is, how did you decide on what career you want and how long did it take you to get into this career?
I am 100% confused, I can't decide what career I want. There are so many different courses to choose from, I'm finding it quite impossible to decide!

Just so I don't get a violation for posting such a question in R&S, I will also ask you, what's your religion??
