Religion & Spirituality - 17 June 2007

The "current" scale of the known or observable universe is about 14 billion light years. How does the creation myth account for what are likely billions of life sustaining worlds with their own unique biological histories..?

Number of superclusters in the visible universe = 10 million
Number of galaxy groups in the visible universe = 25 billion
Number of large galaxies in the visible universe = 350 billion
Number of dwarf galaxies in the visible universe = 3.5 trillion
Number of stars in the visible universe = 30 billion trillion

If creationists have all the answers, what are the answers for all the worlds in the rest of the universe?
If man is made in gods image, must all sentient life be therefore human?
What of more advanced civilisations who would consider the creation myth extremely narrow minded with it's Earth centered and anthropocentric dogmas?

Or do they just deny these figures, attempt to shut them down, or claim that the creation myth is universal?

If you date someone for four month and you don't think of being married to him or her should you move on to someone else?

Those who say the Catholic Church is not biblical.. .

Where exactly did you get this information? Pastor? Sunday School? Website?

What makes your source credible?
An if you say the Bible that means you are opening it to interpretation so why is your interpretation correct and not the Catholic interpretation since the time of Jesus?

Finally, do you have any personal experience with Catholic Worship?

If your going to make the claims you have to be able to back it up, here is your chance with facts, not opinion.

It is a breaking of the ten commandments and killing is a sin.
If killing is a sin why do some churches say it is okay to go to war? Even saying "that is a brave thing to do?"
Say a murderer died would he be resurrected?
John 5:28 says the good and the bad. But even that has limitations as to how bad? How bad can we be and get forgiveness?

In the passover story it says God punished Pharaoh for not doing what himself made impossible for Pharaoh to do. In Exodus 11:10 it states that God "hardened Pharaoh's heart and he did not let the people of Israel go out of his land. Then in Exodus 12:29 it has God killing the first-born of everyone and everything throughout the land of Egypt at midnight. That sounds like many innocent people were KILLED, is this the kind of Creator you wish to believe in?

There is much division among Christians today about who's name are we to baptize in.Acts 2:38 tells us to repent and be Baptized in The Name of Jesus.In Matthew 28:19 Jesus tells us to Baptize in the Name of The Father,Son,and Holy Ghost.
We can see that in Acts 19:1-7 that there was a group of men who had received Johns Baptism but not the Baptism of Jesus.When they were babtized in the Name of Jesus they received the gift that is promised by Peter in Acts 2:38c.They received the Holy Ghost and spake with tongues.

Could it be that water baptism should be done in the name of The Father,Son,and Holy Ghost?
And the baptism of the Holy Ghost should be done in the name of Jesus?

of Jesus Christ but I am fully convinced there will not be this rapture in the way everybody thinks there is going to be. I believe Tim Lahaye and Hal LIndsey have it wrong. Oh I was once a big follower of Dispensationalism. I had the whole 7 years tribulation all mapped out. I was really educated on that stuff. I was pretty arrogant in my view. Now I just see that I was foolish and blind to the real truth. I am now slowly learning all over again. If you don't know what Dispensationalism is don't be alarmed up intill 3 years ago I didn't know what it meant either. The first time I heard somebody said he was a Bible believing Christian and didn't believe in the Rapture and that we were not living in the end times...I GOT FIGHTING MAD. So I studied and I agree that person was correct. Who else is with me on this?

Yes I know I opened an ugly can of worms.

Faith, that being the belief of something without any proof or evidence a form of insanity?

Is the scientific method, that being a belief requiring irrefutable proof and evidence, the only valid form of reality?

1. I try to get along with all of God's Children.
2. I try to forgive others, even when they don't ask for forgiveness.
3. I do not judge the purity/righteousness of other people.
4. When I forgive a person and actually give them a "fresh start" I feel a supernatural being telling me all is well, and I will go to "Heaven".

Which of these beliefs do you share with me?

Especially when this isn't mentioned in the Koran.

It was King David's conquest of Jeruslaem in 996 BCE & establishment of the city as Israel's capital (2Samuel5:6-10) predated the Muslims'capture of Jerusalem in the 16th century CE by 2,500 yrs.
