Religion & Spirituality - 1 July 2007

What was advertised as a "Christmas program" in a county nursing home turned out to be something else. A religious group with the belief that all souls except for 144,000 would be destroyed was using the supposed Christmas program as a means of pushing their dogma on old, sick, suffering people.

Maybe they throught that since some of the patients were close to death, they could be easily converted.

One of the nursing assistants got up to testify about how she had accepted Christ as her saviour and would not be left behind.

On the next day that same nursing assistant left a helpless patient sit directly in the sun in a room with the thermostat turned up to 86 degrees. When she was asked for assistance because the patient's face was beet red and there was sweat running down her face, the nursing assistant did not help.

Why did “evolution” cause humans to "evolve" smooth hairless skin only so that we as humans would be forced to invent clothes to keep from dying of exposure?

If evolution was trying to improve us, it improved us in the wrong direction.

Are you still buying this bunk?

It used to be that we were more concerned about whether or not we were saved by Jesus. Now were more concerned about His position. And have caused such confussion in this matter that most Christians don't even know for sure who He is. I speak this to our shame.

I have heard many Christians argue that Jesus did away with the old laws of Deuteronomy and Leviticus; In fact, he does the opposite "For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:18-19) should we beat our children with a rod (Prov 13:24, 20:30)? kill them if they talk back (Lev 20:9, Deut 21:18-21)? How about killing a family member if they talk about joining a different faith (Deut 13:6, 8-15)? I'm not sorry I had to take one of your arguing points away, because even though many of you claim he did away with OT law, you continue to cite from the OT.

Hello all! I pray that you are all doing well today.
Fresh flowers from the garden, bouquets of roses, tulips and daisies. They are a pleasant surprise when someone recieves them. They bring a happiness and bright cheerfulness wherever they are displayed. But, their beauty is short-lived. In a week or so they droop and fade and have to be thrown away.
Many of the things around us grow older and lose their usefulness. And we aren't very old before we realize how fragile and how brief our own lives are. Where do we find stability and lasting truth?
We can find it in God's unchanging Word. His Word will remain when all else fails. There will never be a time when we cannot put our total faith in His Word. That truth applies today as it did centuries ago and will apply for our children and grandchildren in years to come.
Dear friends, memorize it, meditate on it. When life seems shaky, reading God's Word renews our strength.

2 Chronicles 7 : 14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themseves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

There are a lot of people who say that all it takes to be a Christian is to believe in Jesus, correct? Satan clearly believes in the central tenets of Christianity. He believes, for example, that Jesus, the Son of God, was sacrificed to redeem the sins of mankind--for if Satan does not believe this, why did he tempt Jesus in an effort to sabotage his divine mission? He also believes in the resurrection of Jesus, in the power of God to work miracles, and in the existence of a heaven and a hell. Satan obviously believes in Jesus ... so is Satan a Christian?

This is the last question I will ask today... Some people may be offended by this question, but that is not the purpose... From my other postings this morning you can tell

No more loaded questions, I'm all out of bullets, for now anyway :)

I wonder whether mass hallucinations occur without involvement of drugs...?

Also, for those who have read some of my other questions, do you enjoy them?

I'm about getting serious anwers as much as i am about getting a rise out of people, seems that i've been exceedingly superior at that task...

everyday, as i browse through some of the questions in this section,i feel disgusted by how insensitive and careless people can be about other people's beliefs..Look, i'm not saying that everyone are like that,but just now i saw 2 questions on the same page, comparing the Qur'an to toilet paper(for crying out loud!!), and one of those actually got 2 stars!do i even have to start abt how jesus(PBUH) or Prophet Mohd.(PBUH) are mocked etc?its not just islam or christianity, each and every religion (or lack of it) is attacked;no one is safe...Come on people, these are things that are held close to our hearts, and it hurts us more than it angers us..I understand, you may not agree with everything, or should i say anything, we believe in, but i sincerely request you to please stop this immature and childish bashing..
