Religion & Spirituality - 16 June 2007

It seems to me the Christian world has their priorities wrong conserning the Jews. I remember Jesus telling his followers to preach the Gospel to the Jews first and then to the Gentiles. So this message of salvation through Jesus Christ is supposed to be preached to the Jews first. How come we don't preach to the Jews? Why do we think God has some special plan outside the sacrifice shed blood of Jesus Christ? Jesus Christ Himself said his sacrifice is for the Jews.

Ok I will be fair to warn all those(non believers) who want to make wise cracks..you will be dinged.

Jesus death on the cross gives you the opportunity to be forgiven for all your wrong doing. Yes, your slate of sin can be wiped clean, never to come up again. You can be free from the power of sin in your life.
Believe that Jesus died for you
Confess your sins to Him, asking Jesus to forgive you
Repent, which means to turn away from your sin
Make Jesus Lord of your life.

Jesus wants to give you a new life, one with purpose and destiny. Jesus said: I have come that you might have life, and have life abundantly.

Jesus said: I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father, but through me.

What did Eve think she was missing when the serpent temted her. It wasn't like she was trying to keep up with the Jones's or something. Why would she feel she needed more knowledge? This part doesn't ring true.

I have been studying the Quran for over thirty years now and it never fails to fascinate me. In fact, the phenomenon of continually finding new fascinating aspects of the Quran has been true for the Muslim scholars throughout the years.

My family moved to California from Spain. Thus, we were nominally Catholic. I had very little exposure to any religion until a friend of mine in school invited me to their church. I started attending and this was the first time that I began to read the Bible. I was definitely taking everything very seriously. There then came the time to be baptized. I had no problem with it except that I decided that, since this was the first religion I was exposed to, I should just look around at other religions to make sure that I was certain about what I was doing. I did not think this would actually affect my final decision while, in reality, that near baptism led me to becoming a Muslim.

What's your story? What lead you to be who you are today?

so was explaining my beliefs to someone the other day, and they said "that sounds a lot like ?" i can't remember what they said. so if you have thoughts, i'd like to hear them

I belive that everything is connected. The universe is a big huge system and each planet is a smaller system that is part of that big universe, and so on. And we, as humans, are part of this system. I believe our actions affect others, even those we may never know. Kind of the whole "if a butterfly flaps it's wings" thing.

I don't believe in a soul, I don't believe in an afterlife, a god or gods, the human spirit, etc. When we die, we die. That doesn't mean we don't still have an impact after we're dead. Our thoughts and actions affected people, who in turn affect other people, and so on on so forth. So just because we die, doesn't mean we stop being "connected."

The Bible expressly teaches that we Sleep until the Resurrection.Job 14:10-15 and there will be no conscience state of mind.Job 7:21,Ps.115:17,146:3-4. so how can you go to hell or heaven or purgatory or anywhere else you might be taught when the bible says otherwise...please provide scripture that proves otherwise

I stopped when I was very young. They made me bow my head a close my eyes while some babbling idiot went on about how we had all been sinning and needed forgiveness. I honestly didn't know what a sin was. Still don't really and don't give a damm.

People spend time in their lifetime preparing for all kinds of things, such as holidays, marriage, career, and retirement, and yet most people fail to prepare for the most important, and that is their eternal welfare. They do not listen to their inner conviction, but are swayed by hearsay from others.

Our lives are like a mist, the Bible says, here today, gone tomorrow, but eternity lasts forever, so it is of vital importance that people prepare for eterntiy.

Where will you spend eternity?

(Mat 28:20 DRB) Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.

(Mat 7:24 DRB) Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,

(Mat 7:25 DRB) And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.

(Mat 7:26 DRB) And every one that heareth these my words and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,

(Mat 7:27 DRB) And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.

(Mat 7:28 DRB) And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine.

(Mat 7:29 DRB) For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.

I am a Christian, and I used to go to Sunday School when I was little and prayed a lot. I'm having a few probs in life at the moment and feel depressed, and so have turned back to God. Is it wrong of me to seek His help only when I feel lost? I don't know what to say to Him, or how to listen to Him. How do you know if He's talking to you?
Please help

What attitude must we posses to show that we value our religion that we are committed to it?

You know they make new saints and change the rules all the time, but I haven't heard about any great new authors inspired by God having their latest books added to the Bible. Wouldn't that be better than trying to pass off those ancient stories, which are so foreign to us modern people, as poignant, when it's been shown that the older a book is, the less is has to do with anything, because people back then were just plain ignorant.

Not just occasionally, but every single week. Sometimes more. And the only other book they ever read was the Odyssey, which of course is bound together with the Iliad in one volume.

And every music cd they ever bought was based on the stories in those books, and every television show had to meet some criteria based on the interpretation of those books. And every meal was a blessing from characters in those books.

And they only liked other people who also based their entire lives on those books.

And they only voted for politicians who agreed with those books.

And they only married other 'true believers' who also shared this fascination with the books.

They even base their decisions about war and disease on....you guessed it.....Homer's Odyssey and The Iliad.

Would you think those people were more than a little nuts?

Especially if you found out that none of them were even Greek?
