Is the term Anatman (Pali: anatta) used by Sankaracharya in the exact same fashion as the Buddhist doctrine?

If so, how? If not, kindly explain.

Thanks!

Once your in heaven... would God grant you the desires of your heart.... would your dreams come true?

Your desires of heart, do they have guide lines in heaven? They would have to be good desires, I would think.

A few years ago my father-in-law had a heart attack. The damage to his heart was so severe that the specialist told my ex that if he recovered, he wouldn’t be able to lift his hand to comb his own hair. Heart tissue can’t recover. It forms a scar and a heart so severely damaged can never function normally again.

We assumed the doctor was trying to prepare us for his father’s death and accepted it. He couldn’t breathe for himself and was connected to life supporting machines and monitors. We didn’t pray for recovery, just that God’s will be done.

I was sitting with him that night, as we took turns to stay by his side, when I noticed the doctor coming in to check the monitors, walking out, and coming back to check again, as if he couldn’t believe his eyes. Even I could see that his fast, uneven heartbeat was stabilizing.

A day or two later he was so much better that they could take him off the machines. He recovered fully and could take up a fitness program for heart patients. My father-in-law loved God. He simply said that God had taken his hand.

A team of highly-skilled doctors was involved. They didn’t misdiagnose, as my one friend suggested. They all agreed that what had happened was medically impossible. One joked that they were going to exhibit him in a glass cubicle at the hospital as an example of a miracle.

Do you believe that miracles still happen? Have you had a similar experience?

First of all, I'm not trying to upset anyone here. I'm just trying to look at a possibility. The false prophet will 'perform miracles' and decieve the whole world. Every christian claims the false prophet will be the anti christ (which is true) but they all see him as the anti jesus. How many prophets have the ability to decieve a massive portion of the world? Only one as I can see and that's Jesus. Again, I'm not trying to upset anyone here. I believe in God, I'm not a Jew. I'm just trying to figure out the big picture, and if Jesus IS the false prophet. I cetainly don't want to be one of the decieved. Also, if you think about Jesus's teachings such as turn the other cheek rather than an eye for an eye. If we did that during world war 2 we would now be under nazi control. His teachings seem to give evil full authority. I agree it should not be an eye for an eye as the whole world would end up blind but I don't think turn the other cheek is the answer.

I saw this video on Godtube and I thought I was watching a take off of the story of Superman and how he came to earth as a baby. I'm not a Mormon and I wanted to find out if there is any truth to what this video presents in regards to what Mormons are taught to believe.

I have been having an email conversation with one of our posters who is an atheist. He is trying to convince me that the Bible is untrue. Now I ask why? What difference does it make whether I believe the Bible to be true or not. I have found that most atheist go to great lengths to convince Christians that the Bible is just a bunch of made of stories by atleast 40 different lunatics, that none of the OT prophecies came true, that Christ was somebody that walked the earth but none of the eye witness accounts are true, and that science is the only explanation they can come up with as to how the earth was formed, and even that explanation they don't all agree on. There has yet to be proof that the Bible is untrue. I guess all the scienctific evidence that has been found, is untrue also - so tell me why is it that atheist are so determined to prove the Bible is untrue, what is the big deal, why are they so intrigued with it?

What would be important?

Actually I believe in Spirituality...and not organized religion, but in asking this question, let's find out what beliefs you think are necessary to create a spiritual minded group of individuals.
What important Biblical truths would be a part of this church?

Would there be a "leader"?

Would the individuals be Baptized? Sprinkling or immersion?

What beliefs concerning the Trinity would there be?

What beliefs about "Hell" would there be?

Who would be God's special group of people?

Is Jesus the head of the church?

Any other doctines that seem necessary to be a part of this group?
There's so many ideas, ( not necessarily in agreement ) out there, about religions or churches...so I wonder what we would want, if we could start our own group?

God believers have told me "no matter how much evidence we come up with to prove "God's non existence, they will still believe

That's insanity

I know what you God believers will say "There's no proof that God is fake"

IF IF IF We could prove that God is fake, you would still believe which makes you CRAZY

You not having proof that God is real means he's fake

Prejudice here and there, atheist vs. Christian drama, trolls masquarading as muslims, atheist drinking games, as Don McLean said in his song, Vincent,

I always ponder of how is it like to be in heaven? Would there be some kind of government there? What would be the role of angels? and of the saints? Are we going to work and study? Or would it be only to pray?
How would everyone interact? How would disagreements be resolved, if there is any? Is an emotion of love the one only existing? Would there be cryings there?
If others said that life in heaven is perfect, what would perfect means?
I have ask so many, what do you have in mind for the answers?
