Religion & Spirituality - 9 July 2007

[Selected]: All categories Society & Culture Religion & Spirituality

The word "proskuneo" (worship in Greek) is used 55 times in the New Testament. Of those 55 uses, 15 times it is in reference to Jesus, while the rest (40) are for others (God, Satan, Peter, idols for ex.). Why then does the NWT translate it to 'obeisance' whenever it is in refrence to Jesus, but 'worship' for all other uses? What can possibly explain the double standard in translation? Did the watchtower specifically do this to push their agenda of disbelieving Jesus as God since God can only be worshiped? Does the watchtower association believe that the manuscripts are all wrong?

1. Where did the space for the universe come from?


2. Where did matter come from?


3. Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc.)?


4. How did matter get so perfectly organized?


5. Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?


6. When, where, why, and how did life come from dead matter?


7. When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?


8. With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?


9. Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of survival? (Does the individual have a drive to survive, or the species? How do you explain this?)


10. How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new, improved varieties? (Recombining English letters will never produce Chinese books.)

I really wish i could. I Have tried countless times to see it their way and i can't. I simply cannot see how they believe in the bible. Believing in a god i can understand but believing in all the innane BS that comes when spirituality congeles into an organized religion seems so .......well stupid to put it stupidly

Question #4 of questions asked to Christians:

My reference is the Bible Answer Book

The Unpardonable Sin

“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. Matthew 12: 31-32

It is crucial to recognize that the unforgivable sin is not a single act but continuous, ongoing rejection.

For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation 2 Corinthians 7:10

The Bible consistently teaches that those who spend eternity seperated from God do so becuse they willingly, knowingly, and continuously reject the gospel. John refers to this as the "sin leading to death". 1 John 5:16 in the sense that those who refuse forgiveness through Christ will spend eternity seperated from his grace and love.

I want to see if anyone can figure this out: In the bible it states that Adam & Eve were the 1st & only people on the earth, then they had two sons Cane & Abel. Cane kills abel, then later on it says "And Cane knew his wife & they bare two sons" OK STOP, how in the world if there was only 3 people on earth Adam, Eve & Cane... how did Cane all the sudden get a wife & have kids?

It seems to me that a humble person would think that they weren't and say no.

Or put in another way, can a person truly know if he/she is humble?

"Unequally yoked" would be a marriage where the two participants don't have the same religious beliefs. The Bible specifically says not to do it in the New Testament.

Actually, I think that this is one of the few real take-home messages to be found in the Bible: It's not a good idea to marry someone too many standard deviations outside of your religious beliefs and/or religious zeal.

2007-07-09 11:32:41 · 16 answers · asked by Muffie 5

For example, with all of the Christians out there, why aren't people there for each other? Why do people continue to judge and not love instead? Why do people hate and not try to understand and love their neighbor? Christianity is merely an example because I am most familiar with it, but it follows for all religions. The answer is for yourself. Don't answer me, answer yourself and others.
