Religion & Spirituality - 4 July 2007

Why is it that some people prefer to be known as Catholics/ Lutheran/ Anglican/ Jehovah's Witnesses/ etc.... rather than as Christians.

I mean we all follow and believe in the Holy Trinity first, then only comes the traditions of the denominations that we belong to.

Like I asked a friend,,,hey you are a Christian right?She told me..."No I am a Catholic".

So I am a Christian first. Then a Catholic.

Does knowing the density of mercury keep you from doing evil? Does knowing the formula of gravity improve your relations with your neighbor? Does knowing the term photosynthesis induce you to lead a moral life?... Does knowing the structure of the molecule show you the difference between right and wrong?

What morality can you possibly derive from science? And if you cannot get any, and science is amoral, then why do you center so much of your writings around it?

Why is America Hiding The Mysteries On the story about AREA 51.
If this is true how come it hadn't been written in the Bible.
Is there more worlds out there than this one we presently in.
Is ghost reality or a work of the Devil Himself.
Are angels alive and are they presently on earth.
If there is nine planets why can't one planet represents one different world.
Because the planet Earth represents this world.
Will there ever be a cure for all diseases or will god have to cure all for us to live in peace.
Is it because of sins thats why we face bad things in life.
Why is america, russia, china saving all of those nuclear bombs they have.
How will we all ever love each other without going to war.
Is armageddon comming in the Future.

Well don't you find THAT curious?

We know the Bible say a day was the cycle of day and night.

So did dinosaurs exist together with men or not?

If they existed together than why no fossil evidence of that?

Did Jesus pipe in on the dinosaur issue?

http://www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno-test.mv

where u fill it out and u find out what level of hell you're going to (or if ur not)

First time i took it i got the 8th level...out of 9...i was pretty surprised, i'm pretty good.

Then i took it again but thinking on each question more and i got Level 1.

Weird.

Anyways what about you?

Christians say that you must accept Jesus Christ as your only savior in order to go to heaven. But Catholics worship Virgin Mary......Virgin Mary is also depicted as an idol in catholic churches, which would go against the bible....because the bible sais that man shall not worship any idol.....and catholics recard virgin mary as a higher being than Jesus. Does this put catholics in hell? They should, if the bible is a reliable source.

Hello,
My name is Joe and I am a 26 year old American. I have been a devotee of all the Vishnu avatars for years now but recently I am keener towards learning how to perform puja of lord Nrsimha dev. If any one can guide me towards the proper rituals and way of integrating lord Nrsimha into my daily life, I would really be thankful to them and also if anyone can forward me the soft copy of Archana Paddhati.
Thanks again
Joe Hall

something else first.....and the last time they did that something first it took over a year? Do you trust them? Or tell them enough is enough? Still be friends but do you keep trusting since they have proven they take FOREVER to get something done that they told you wouldn't take very long. Is that a lie? Or are they just unconcerned with time? (I'm asking this in R&S because most of my friends are here)

S 54 day Novena...do I need to...?
I am thinking of doing the 54 day Novena from tomorrow onwards.

I was thinking if I can do it at home? I should kneel or can I sit cross-legged? Also do I need to placed a crucifix or a picture of My Mother Mary and Her Son, Our Lord?

Most of all, do I need to observe any fast or rules? Especially can my sister do the novena during her monthly cycle?

Please tell me.

I am not yet a Christian...so I don't know many things about the Christian traditions yet..until I join the RCIA next year.
