Religion & Spirituality - 6 July 2007

10 points for the first person who gets them all correct.

True or False?

1. According to Catholic doctrine, everything the Pope says is true.

2. The Catholic Church teaches that we can get into Heaven by doing good works.

3. Only Roman Catholics may receive Communion at Mass -- no exceptions.

4. Unless a Catholic married couple have lots of children, their marriage is invalid.

5. An annulment is really a "Catholic divorce." Only the terms are different.

6. The Pope can change Church doctrine.

7. The Catholic Church used to teach that Limbo exists, but doesn't teach this anymore.

8. Only unmarried men may receive the Sacrament of Holy Orders.

If you are faithful, you obviously don't need scientific proof. Shouldn't that be enough? Why, when pressed for proof of god's existence, can't those who believe simply say "I believe god exists and that is enough for me." The argument from a scientific standpoint usually ends up the same way:
Person A: "Prove scientifically god exists."
Person B: "Well, you say we evolved. We had to evolve from something. You can't have nothing and then get something. God created that something and the rest happened."
Person A: "Then something had to create god."
Person B: "God has no beginning or end and exists outside the laws of nature, therefore he needs no explanation as the rules do not apply to him."

Granted the conversation usually goes deeper and moe intelligently than that, but it always seems to end up that way. At one point science must cease in order to scientifically prove god's existence, so why bother trying to scientifically argue the point? If you believe, then believe.

I was just reading in Revelations about the new city, and that it shone brilliantly with the glory of God. It says plainly that the dwelling of God will be with men!

How could people like us ever have glimpse of a prayer of such things?

People Lie and make up all kinds of stuff about them that is not true. I am a Christian not a Jehovah witness. But people exagerate to much about them.

DO NOT TAKE THIS AS AN ATTACK AGAINST ANY RELIGION!!!!!!

Could these "experiences" have been the effect of mind altering drugs?

Why do we accept these people as prophets for claiming to have spoken to god, when in todays society anyone that claims this is labeled "mentally unbalanced"?

First off, this is NOT a rant. I am just wondering the purpose of blocking people that don't believe what you do. Talk about self-fulfilling prophecy, if you only allow users that believe like you do to answer your questions, then of course you can justify your beliefs.

Does anyone else feel the same?

hi dears,

to view my previous question:

I'm a muslim and i believe in all prophets,and i believe that Jesus PBUH is a prophet not God .I believe that there is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his messanger,and i believe that the bible was interpolated,and it is man made bible. 'i believe in the bible and in the Tawrah but not this corrupted one that you got ,but I believe in the one revealed to Jesus and Moses PBUT . the books you got now are revised by your highest eminent scholars .(could God's words be revised!!!!!) .Anyway,i'll accept the verses that you sent to me,and i'll answer all of them.First you said :"I and my Father are one". (John 10:30) .we need to understand this verse from it's context ,so read (john 1:23) and you will notice that Jesus PBUH doesn't mean that he is and God are one physically,but he means that they are one in terms of purpose and aim .

When antisecularist Christians lie about evolution, doesn't that sort of make you think they're lying about lots of stuff? By their fruits, and all that.

Is there a new version of the Bible I missed that says lying is okay?

(This is not indicative of a belief that all Christians lie about evolution.)

When he lectures me the consequences of not believing, I asked him tough questions about his religion.
I exploit allt he flaws and ask him to explain it to me.

When he can't explain something that doesn't make logical sense, he justify that its a sin to question GOD. Either that or he says "You've gota have faith!"

WTF is wrong with all these religious freaks?

If you can't even explain your own religion, dont' try to convert people because you don't know what you are doing.

Granted, it is alleged that Satan and his following amongst the angels sinned and continue to sin. But the angels who remained loyal to God do not sin and never sin.

The fact that Satan and his following rebelled demonstrates they have Free Will.

If God could design Angels with Free Will and who never sin, why couldn't he design humans with Free Will who never sin?

There is this god I know. He says that I should worship him because he said so. He said that if I don't, I would be punished!

I replied, "but I didn't do any harm to anyone!"
He said "It doens't matter! As long as you don't worship me, you get punished"

I feel like I'm being bullied into believing but other believers justify that as having faith!

Just curious and want your opinion.

1st John 1:2 calls Christ the word of Life. This implies that anyone without this word is dead, even though he may have physical life, he is spiritually deceased. So, imagine if you will, millions of walking corpses going about their zombie like existence day to day not even aware that they are rotting away as their spirit is enslaved to sin.

In nature, vultures are primarily known for eating what is Dead...portable organic waste disposal units, part of the ecological sanitation department meant to rid the earth of its contaminaties. Vultures have also been looked upon as as bad omens...ominously circling the skies as forbodding clouds gather, their keen sense of finding the dead and who (or what) is about to die.
