Religion & Spirituality - 14 June 2007

No matter where I go, everyone is so closed minded about religion. If you say something that's not in the bible that has to do with religion, they get mad at you. Why do they make such a big deal out of it?

1 Corinthians 1:19
For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."

Spirituality is related to God, or the divinity, where as religion is manmade for the convenience of administration. Is it necessary to be a part of any religion to be spiritually enlightened? If then what are the religions of Buddha and Christ?

The person says, "I'm sorry. You chose the wrong religion. But if you can guess right now which is the correct one, no harm will come to you. You have one shot."

Which religion would you guess?

Please tell what your belief or non-belief is right now, and which one you would truly guess in this hypothetical situation.

I believe Acts is because it starts after Christ death. Any other opinions out there?

I can not find the sinners prayer anywhere in the bible. I do not put my faith in a prayer that is not my own words. If all it took was what someone else told you to say from words out of their heart, everyone would be saved. God wants to know if you will surrender your life to him. He wants you to tell Him from your heart how you feel. You have to live for God no matter what the cost. Do not be fooled Christians will suffer for the sake of Christ. I will gladly suffer for my Lord and my God. Will you! Jesus has to be you lord along with your God.

A younger monk asked an older monk "where is buddha?"

The older monk sticked out a finger, said "here", then the older monk asked him back "where is buddha?"

The younger monk sticked out one of his finger too, said "here", the older monk was furious, he cut off his finger.

Several months later, the older monk asked the younger monk again "where is buddah?" the younger monk wanted to stick out his finger again, but found he lost it, it was empty.

Suddenly, he was enlightened....later he became a famous master.

Question: What was he enlightened?....Does it mean Buddha is nowhere to be found, yet he's everywhere too?..everything is buddha?

From Mormon apostle Orson Pratt:

"Each God, through his wife or wives, raises up a numerous family of sons and daughters; indeed, there will be no end to the increase of his own children: for each father and mother will be in a condition to multiply forever and ever. As soon as each God has begotten many millions of male and female spirits, and his Heavenly inheritance becomes too small, to comfortably accommodate his great family, he, in connection with his sons, organizes a new world, after a similar order to the one which we now inhabit, where he sends both the male and female spirits to inhabit tabernacles of flesh and bones. Thus each God forms a world for the accommodation of his own sons and daughters who are sent forth in their times and seasons, and generations to be born into the same. The inhabitants of each world are required to reverence, adore, and worship their own personal father who dwells in the Heaven which they formerly inhabited" (The Seer, p. 37).

I have always felt that as soon as I look at a person, I can tell a lot about their personailty. But I'm Catholic, and I heard that it is not allowed to believe in this. Also, I went to the Sorrel-Weed House in Savannah, Georgia. Miss Sorrel committed suicide. I felt I was talking to her while I was in the house. Is this permitted by the Catholic church?

I have been helping my ex roomate out with financial loans for 5 years now. She gets into trouble where she falls behind in her bills or has no money to buy groceries for her and her son and I help out. I have extra money and I don't mind helping out but exactly when is enough enough.
She called me this afternoon crying her eyes outs about how she wrote a bounced check for her May's rent and she is going to have to go to court if she doesn't come up with the $200 fee.
I said no because I feel like she needs to grow up and be responsible for herself. She is 28 has one child and one on the way.
I know that as a Christian the Lord wants us to help those in need but is there ever a limit? Is she taking advantage of my kindness or am I obligated to continue to help her because I have been blessed with the extra money? Serious advice only please. Thanks

I've tried working hard, for a long time. It doesn't seem to pay all my bills. I'm not really the criminal type, so, I've considered a middle of the road option. Is there anyway to 'wish' my debts were paid, and have them paid, but with no real way for forensic science to prove that I actually 'did' anything? Would I be benefitting from 'ill gotten gain'?

my friend introduced me to Linkin Park way back when they first came out about five or so years ago. they are now my favourite band, because at the time they helped me express what i couldn't put into words. about a year ago, someone else told me that i need to stop listening to secular music because it's hindering me from being all i can, i suppose.

my question: does it really matter what music i listen to so long as i don't let it influence who i am if there is a negative message? i never listen to songs and go "i want to start thinking like that" unless it's stuff like Chris Tomlin or people like him. so is it really bad for me to listen to whatever music i so please? it's just a form of entertainment isn't it?

thank you, God Bless! :D

You can claim to know Jesus Christ all you want. If your name is not in the book of life believing in Him will not do you any good. You have to surrender your life to Him. Repent and turn from your ways. God can forgive any of your sins, no matter how bad you think you are.
