Religion & Spirituality - 2 July 2007

If you knew that everything you said and did was being recorded and stored for posterity, how would you live your life? What would you do differently, if you knew your grandkids and great grandkids could "browse" and view every moment of your life.

Despite what is clearly written in the book of James most of Protestantism believes that we are saved by faith alone. Can someone find for me within the canon of scriptures where it says we are saved by faith alone.

I am not looking for scriptures, which say we are saved by faith; they are obvious and abundant. You must find scriptures, which specifically say, we are saved by faith alone. If you are using a Lutheran Bible, you must justify how Martin Luther has the authority to add the word alone to the book of Galatians, which doesn't exist in the Latin or Greek texts of the New Testament Scriptures.

christians always think that people who disagree with them hate God or Jesus? Why can't they understand that if we hate anyone, it's them for being so arrogant and self ritcheous?

If you believe in Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone), or are knowledgeable about it, why do you believe in such a doctrine and can you show me where in the Scriptures it says Sola Scriptura and is not referring exclusively to the Septuagint? If you can't find a verse, then explain how you can accept Sola Scriptura if it isn't in Scripture.

... God keeps blessin' you? Yes, its true! When the praises go up, God's blessings come down!

I know I don't deserve it
I've got to run and tell it
How the Lord's been good to me
He keeps blessing me!

Thank you Jesus!

Do you ever wonder why people have so much hatred for God? Is it because they are so full of hatred that they are blinded by it? Is it because their hearts are hardened? Like this guy who keeps posting the cancer questions? Why are you so angry? I just have to wonder. I mean, God works everything for His will. And if you don't believe in Him, why are you so quick to blame Him for all the bad things that happen? If you didn't blame Him, who would you blame? You know, it takes faith to believe in nothing as well as to believe in something.

Please answer the following:

Would you send your kids to a private religious school (your choice of religion)?

Do you feel that religious schools are too one-sided?

Do you think religious schools really help the students to grow in the faith of the school, or does it make them rebel and turn away? (i know this depends on the individual, but how do you think it would affect the majority of students?)

If you feel it makes them turn away, how so? (example: rejecting basic moral values, or keeping those values but just not agreeing with the particular religion - there is a difference!)

Personally i would want my kids to have a broader view of the world as a whole, something i felt i was lacking in at my christian middle/high school. So no, i wouldn't send them to a private religious institution of any religion. but that's just me. what say you?

LOL...do you know that there are many things that simple aren't explainable, because they don't fit into human explanation. Therefore, according your logic, if it doesn't fit to any logical explanations, it doesn't exist. and you people call themselves open-minded :) nice try

there is no proof for God or Evolution just to let you all know. there's evidence for both but no proof for any. so when you ask for proof i cant give it to you... I just believe in a God cause thats what i choose to believe in and I'm sorry when i get all offensive when you dis on God but some of you who don't believe are the same way when i even mention that I think God is real.

A more famous one from 'Sister Act':

...and all of "you people" were QUICK to judge.....INTERESTING.

Yet at other times you're QUICK to STEAL the Words of Jesus (and misapply them). 'thou shall not judge, thou shall not judge!!". interesting.

I see it quoted many times. But, to me it sounds rather foolish.

As a Christian are you not to study the Bible, learn from others, have dialogue etc...

Or, are you to walk through life with blinders on?

God said it? Where did God say it? In the Bible? Who says? The Bible says....hmmm isn't that a circular argument.

Wouldn't one be a better "witness" speaking from their heart...providing answers to peoples questions...rather than empty foolish lines like the above...or regurgitated memorized Bible verses?

Your thoughts?

Is there any way to calm a kid down and reassure him not all Muslims blow planes up? My sister said he freaked out just going to pick up a friend because he saw some women dressed in their Muslim wear. Our family reunion is next month, and he has to fly to get there. What can we do to help him? He is 7.

Do you realize what kinds of things went on during colonial American times? Did you know that it was widely acceptable for men to have mistresses, but if his wife commited adultery, she could be flogged? Did you know that premarital sex and extramarital sex was common? Did you know that is was common for women to get remarried as early as a week after her husband died? Did you know that it was ok to burn/drown someone because you thought they are a witch? Did you know that it was acceptable for white people to own slaves? Did you know that prostitutes were relatively common?

Were does the misconception that we are somehow worse than previous generations come from?

I have a bit of a problem. There is a guy that I work with (non Muslim) and he knows I'm engaged but he's kinda too friendly. It's making me really uncomfortable. Sometimes I deliberately talk to him about my fiance just so he knows I'm not interested in any other guy but still, he sends me text msgs and stuff. I respect everyone and I like to have a friendly chat but there is NO WAY I am interested in any other guy. Allah knows what's in my heart, that the only person I'm interested in is my fiance and I wouldn't commit adultery. But I am still fearful that I am sinning btalking to this guy and replying to his msgs. I mean NOTHING MORE than friendship, I don't like the way he is becoming too friendly. To be honest it sickens me! I want to spend the rest of my living days with my fiance InshaAllah, not any other guy. What can I do? How can I politely tell him to BACK OFF?!
I fear that I am commiting a sin in the eyes of God, please give me some advice! Thankyou.

If God is all-knowing and omnipotent, why would he instruct Adam & Eve to not eat of the Tree of the Fruit of Life, if He (or She) knew they would eat anyway (thus creating sin). It seems a bit of a contradiction to me. If God had the power to keep sin out of the world, why would he offer it up for the taking?

Isn't that sort of punishment along the lines of communism? Sure doesn't sound like an all loving god to me.

Glad I'm an atheist and don't have to wrestle with constant biblical questions like this every day!
