Religion & Spirituality - 12 June 2007

After all to do so would limit him/her/it/them and thus they would no longer be infinite. Indeed to follow this line of thinking to the extreme it could be said that all religion is heresy. For all religions attempt to define God and in the process limit his/hers/its/their infinity. Thoughts.........

Mormon Inc' always made a big deal out of the fact that Joseph Smith ran for President. Well obviously he didn't win, not even close, but they make it sound like it was a big deal.. Probably more in the likes of Beau Grites.

So does your religion make you want to vote for a Mormon or do you think outside the box and vote for the person that you feel is best qualified?

...5.45 a.m. Wednesday morning U.S. Central Time. I'll be gone for two weeks. I thought now is as good a time as ever to say I'm really glad I met you all, especially but not limited to Teacher, Mark S, One Love, gratvol, Heron by the Sea, rocknrob, Lea, L'Chaim, Emet Ha'Agur, inat, allonyoav, Sawyer, Mozes, Lokasenna, and Susan. I know there are more (especially more atheists) but I cannot think of them right now. Some of you I know personally, some of you I have learned great things from and wish to thank you now and recognize you for the nice things you have done. I also wanted to ask you to pray for me (if you pray) or think of me on the plane...because I am really nervous about the flight and this is a way to calm myself down the night before. Haha! Just kidding. Honestly guys, I wanted to thank you. See you in two weeks and peace to you all :-)

Jesus called God Allaha (aramaic) (proof http://www.peshitta.org/cgi-bin/lexicon.cgi)


'And in their footsteps We sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had come before him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law that had come before him: a guidance and an admonition to those who fear Allah.' (Qur'an)

What everyone needs is love, right?

For religions people :
What if, an "unbeliever" saved your life, or that of your loved one. Would your attitude toward "unbelievers" be for the better afterward? - If so, why isn't it now? Aren't we all just humans that need love? Do you really need something that drastic to happen before you realize that?

For secular people :
What if, a very religious person saved your life, or that of your loved one. Would your attitude toward the religious be for the better afterward? - if so, why isn't now? Aren't we all just humans that need love? Do you really need something that drastic to happen before you realize that?

I was born and raised Mormon and am actually descended from six of the original twelve. I don't understand why so many people bring up that Brigham Young had so many wives. He was just a man like the rest of us so he can't be expected to act perfect all of the time.

The verse John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” …………….this verse was written by a jew named Philo Of Alexandria…even before Jesus. So this is not considered true…
Now even you think of it to be true it is written that
“the word was God” now if u replace the word “word ” with God “In the beginning was the GOD, and the GOD was with God, and the GOD was God” now will you say that there were 2 Gods no of course not ..God is the one and only.
The word God used here is the god(with small “g”) not capital “g”.god means a messenger and it is used in bible in Exodus chapter 7 verse 1” Then the LORD said to Moses, "See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet” now will you say that Moses was God no , the word god used here is Tonthios (small g).
The first time “GOD” is ,used as Hothios (capital g) which means God.the second time it is used as Tonthios (small g) meaning a messenger…
