Religion & Spirituality - 8 June 2007

Christians generally speak of love, peace, and salvation. For us all. When I've spoken to atheist they got bent out of shape. They keep arguing after I've said my piece. They even argue with themselves. They don't seem to have aversions to buddhism, taoism, the new age, satanism...etc. They don't even have this problem with islam. Some of it's prominent figures want to kill'em. No, just with the truth.

Christians believe in science. Been to school. Mixed chemicals. We just know that we are not here without purpose. Christians are actually very scientific indeed. This is why we see things the way we do. God's creation is all around us. Anything else is contradiction.

We also know that science can't explain spiritual things. It couldn't explain much until the last couple hundred years. Why did it take so long? The bible's always said that the earth was round. That there are water currents, air has weight etc. Evolutionists are STILL lookin for the missin link?...What's the issue

I don't understand if preaching about Jehovah is so important to your religion..Why don't they have any TV spots to teach what they want people to hear? This is the year 2007, and it seems like good common sense that to reach more people and to get more people to listen to your message that TV would be a better way to go than door to door. I know Jesus did that and you guys are trying to follow his example..but I think he would not mind if you used available resorces to teach about him. Your religion has the money..more than enough..research that for yourselves if you wonder about it. Just curious as to why that is not used as a way to reach more people. Thanks!

I mean you are either a god or you aren't right? And if those gods were around before god, then why does that make them false gods? They were there first. That's not very nice when you think about it.

can we face each other and know that we were meant t obe together as couples, families, singles? what ever turns you on within reason that is. If later on down the road you feel the need to be with someone that you didn't have a relationship with then it is up to you to make sure that that person is first your mother and your father.

Why doesnt anybody else use the name of their god in regular conversations but instead the non believers will use the name Jesus. They will even say "i swear to god," they will say "holysh**t" but never mention saitan or any of his evil deeds when they are doing evil and blame only god when things are not going their way...

I bet most non-believers ask themselves, "why do these Christians set here preaching at me and talking about the bible. They are just idiots, weak and judgemental". We relize that you are thinking this as you mock as, slam us, throw whatever scriptures you can twist into our face, and slander God for the entire (internet) world to see. But God never gave up on us. He courted us and sought each of us until we came to Him. Yes, some of us suffered and still suffer. Yes there is death, and disease and horrible things that happen in the world. Is it fair? No. God never said life would be fair. However, God did say He would never leave us. Even in the worse times HE beckons to us, loves us, forgives us. Life is unfair, but God is wonderful. Things happen. Their is a design and plan. We don't have to agree with it, just accept it.
I hope each of you now understand why we will always share our faith with you. God never gave up on us, and we shall never give up on you. We love you. God bless.

Here are the similarities between "The View of the Hebrews" and "The Book of Mormon"

extensive quotation from the prophecies of Isaiah in the Old Testament.

the Israelite origin of the American Indian

the future gathering of Israel and restoration of the Ten Lost Tribes

the peopling of the New World from the Old via a long journey northward which encountered "seas" of "many waters"

a religious motive for the migration

the division of the migrants into civilized and uncivilized groups with long wars between them and the eventual destruction of the civilized by the uncivilized

the assumption that all native peoples were descended from Israelites and their languages from Hebrew

the burial of a sacred book

the description of extensive military fortifications with military observatories or "watch towers" overlooking them

a change from monarchy to republican forms of government
the preaching of the gospel in ancient America

When I visited Jeff Lindsays website he basically just said how there are a lot of differences between the two books and the similarities are at best superficial, but of coarse there are differences between the two books, there not the same book. Why does that make it unlikely that it didn’t influence the theme of the Book of Mormon? Why does that make it unlikely that it was just one more of many things that influenced Joseph Smith? Why do Mormons claim the similarities are superficial and non important?

The word "witch" has always been with us. When a person in ruling power or a religionist came into power over a small village or a whole country and their popularity or power was a bit shakey they would want to make sure none stood above them in the eyes of those they ruled religiously or in every day life.
A healer or herbalist or midwife would be a challenge as the people would come to find while the ruler or the religionist took taxes and tithes and some times daughters and wives, the healer, herbalist, or midwife, ask for little. They brought health and new life to the community.
In time the healer, herbalist, or midwife began to be revered in the community. Judgements were asked of them rather than the person in ruling power or a religionist. Then the population would begin comparing the healer, herbalist, or midwife to the person in ruling power and the religionist.

Hey, I'd like to be omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, omnificent, omnipercipient, omniparient & every other omnicrap.


The third major characteristic of God - "infinitude" - is the catchall, the universal modifier of Christian theology. God is not merely a being; he is infinite being. God is not merely good; he is infinite goodness. God is not merely wise; he is infinite wisdom. And so on down the list. God is exaggeration run amuck.

Only good and holiness is contained in God, and his Son, and what they stand for. So why then is Christianity the most hated? What gets posted here, and Im sure even on this question will be disturbing, vile, and Evil.

Looks like Satans hold on this world is strong.

Apparently it's "good theology" to assume that there had been absolutely NO RAIN before the Great Flood. Is that true? If so, how do you suppose Yahweh prevent precipitation for so long and why?

Also... how did the plant life survive?
