Religion & Spirituality - 20 June 2007

I am a single lady and a married church elder came just to visit one day to 'see how I was just getting along'. His wife is lovely and the truest person you could ever wish to meet. All of a sudden her husband said, "I'm sure God won't mind you fondling yourself, seeing as you've no husband". How on earth the conversation ever got round to that, beggars belief. I had done/said nothing to get this remark/comment. I feel upset about what he said. How should I handle this?

an LDS answered one of my previous questions with this....can someone please explain it to me? How could God, who is supreme, the beginning and the end, the creator of all things, have been a man at one time?

Knowledge is wonderful, but' it brings that uncertainty in your spiritual moral values, And it brings home, that you really know nothing of life, Greater thinkers have searched in whats the meaning of life, Is it by accident, Or is there a higher spiritual organiser? You may swear by your convictions, that there is neither God or fairy tale answers, But' are you certain in your inner depth of your soul. Please let me have your truthful answers.

A volcano erupt. Now imagine for a second that they know nothing about Science or how volcanos really function. You are watching a mountain Spew fire and smoke, and they are witnessing a violent destructive force. Now what do you think the earliest humans attributed this act of nature to? How would they explain what they saw to others? Really think about this one. I want serious answers.

Actually I'm a fully qualified scientist and also qualified in religious studies, so I should know..
I have seen the evidence both in my heart and in the field, and have concluded that the creation myth is a hoax and a danger to peace on Earth. And that those who embrace mainstream scientific principles and understandings are our best hope for the future.
People who think like me are the only ones who have morals.
There's also been a study done to prove this is true.
There's also heaps of proof this is so.
The proof I have is in my faith that it's true.
There's been other studies done showing why the creation myth is exactly that, a myth.
More and more people are becoming atheist, and everybody needs to become one.
All the studues done show this to be true.
I know the truth because it's in my heart, and my faith only confirms this..
May the natural sciences bless your mind.

[of course, the REAL arguments in favour of mainstream science are more complex and verifiable]

According to Genesis Chapter 2:Verse 17 it states God as saying "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou (o Adam) shalt not eat of it; for IN THE DAY that thou eatest thereof thou shalt SURELY DIE." But in Genesis Chapter 3:Verse 4 it states "And the serpent (Satan) said unto the woman (Eve), Ye Shall NOT SURELY DIE." this was when Satan was tempting Eve to eat of the tree. Now....let's go to Genesis Chapter 5:Verse 5 and it states " And all the days that Adam LIVED were NINE HUNDRED AND THIRTY YEARS"

Why or why not?
Does the separation of church and state have any validity on this issue?

I did not personally know the people who wrote the bible and since we are all God's children why should I trust their opinions or believe they are any more valid than my own?

Corinthians 7.1-36

"it is well for a man not to touch a women"but because of cases of sexual immorality each man should have his own wife and each women her own her won husband."
to the unmarried and the widows i say it is well for them to remain unmarried as i am.but if they are not practicing self-control,they should marry for it is better to married than to be aflame with passions.
now concerning virgins,i give my opinions as one hwo by the lord`s mercy is trusthworthy,ithink in view of the impending crisis it is well for you to remain as you are.are you bound to wife? dp not seek to be free are you free from a wife do not seek wife. but if u marry u do not sin and if a virgin marries she does not sin.yet those who marry will experience distress in this life i would spare you that,let even those who have wives be as though they had none and those who mourns as though they were not mourning and those rejoice as though they were not rejoicing and those who buy as though no ..

Must people think Muslims hate Jesus (PBUH) but the truth is we love him and if you did not believe in him as a muslim you are not truly a muslim in fact you would be a non-believer. If you did not believe that:

Jesus was sent by Allah (God)
Jesus made Miracles even from the crib
Jesus was born of a virgin Mary
and that he is alive
He will be back

then you are not truly Muslim!


Now I as d you believe in Jesus? All Muslims will say yes!
