Religion & Spirituality - 10 July 2007

State your answer. I strongly believe in the words of the bible and what reason it gives for the Earth coming to an end. As a matter of fact, this end, supposedly a "Rain of Fire." Some people believe this is a nuclear war of some kind. I believe it is a comet that is actually inbound to Earth. It may be scary, but it's proven by actual science research. The comet will predictably kill 2/3 of human population, and so a christian article says it will. The bible proclaims 7 angels sounding horns. The comet crashing to Earth contains 7 events that will destroy human life:

1) Collision
2) Coastal Floods
3) Ash rain
4) Rain of heated comet debris
5) Heat Wave
6) Extreme Freeze
7) Death of plants and other animals for food

This, I believe, is what God, and the Bible, mean by the death of Earth. If you are Athiest or you are Agnostic about Revelations, please do not state your opinion.

*Note: Some theists.

Dawkins: "Believing is not something you can decide to do as a matter of policy. [...] I can decide to go to church and I can decide to recite the Nicene Creed, and I can decide to swear on a stack of bibles that I believe every word inside them. But none of that can make me actually believe it if I don't. Pascal's wager could only ever be an argument for feigning belief in God."

Please everyone without becoming hostile, can you BIBLICALLY give me an argument for and against the "trinity". I know that the word trinity is not in the Bible. I also would like to not see John 1:1 only because I have looked this up extensively and have found it interpreted as~~ the word was A god. In 5 or 6 different (non Jehovahs Witnesses) opinions. If you have old testament scripture to support or deny it that would be awesome! Thank you all!

So when Christians tell us we can choose to believe like they do, are they not in fact lying? My assertion is that they have got to be pathologically dishonest or in very deep denial about what they REALLY believe.

To show the respect due to God's Holy Word what would be the proper way to dispose of a very, very, very worn Bible!
I have an old pocket Bible I have carried for years and don't really want to get rid of but it is literally falling apart!
AND THERE'S NO WAY IT'S GONNA HIT THE TRASH!

My fellow christians, on this section, it seems like the atheists are always on your back, but, let God give you a strong heart and not worry about what they say. Now atheists, I've got nothing against you, but your science will never prove to me there is no God, but believe what you wanna believe, Its your choice, just don't force it on me, and I won't force it on you.

Is it possible to become a nun somewhere if one is openly gay? Yes, I know plenty of religious types frown upon homosexuality, but is there anywhere that it's possible?

In before 'Go to Hell'.

My study has involved books and those with more experience, I am a rookie. During casting of a recent spell, the "intent" was specific and in conjunction with the correct moon phase, and on the best possible day. How often should a spell be repeated? (my preferance is candle magick). However, the mecury in retrograde was not factored into the equation and this was done around 6/14/07. One person said repeating the spell might be necessary. Another said to trust in it and wait. Any insight is appreciated.

John 3:5
Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit."

It seems pretty clear to me.

Proven fact seems to be ignored in favor of hope and faith. Isn't that like hoping your team can come back from a deficit after the game is over?

We atheists are often told that life has no meaning if all we do is live a few decades and then die... but really, how is that different for theists?

Isn't eternity meaningless? What's the point of living forever?

I've known quite a few JWs who claimed to have the heavenly calling.

I've also known many who at some time or another had a feeling that they were of the annointed class but something held them back from partaking. The most consistent reason why they would doubt the leadings of the spirit was that they had been convinced that very few, if any, remained to fill the number of the 144,000 at this late date.

But there are some. The youngest I know is in her forties.

Have YOU ever thought you were having the experience of being called by the Holy Spirit? Did you begin partaking? If not, what held you back?

We hold a bible talk group at our home on a weekly basis. One of the families felt they weren't happy and decided to leave the group. The husband became very upset that my husband didn't want to keep up a friendship with him. My husband spoke to this fellow and said, well, we were never really that great friends anyway, so lets leave it be and go our own ways and keep our own friends. This man complained to our Minister that my husband was stubborn and unfriendly. Our Minister warned my husband that if he didn't resolve the friendship within 1 week he would be disfellowshipped from the church. We run the children's ministry and have worked so hard for our church for over 15 years so are really upset about this. It is like we are being blackmailed or the childish situation of "if you don't do this you won't be my friend"! So we think maybe we should leave. We would feel uncomfortable staying if this is how they think. Should he just say sorry? or should we go?

...that God SENT his Son to the earth, why do you insist that it was God himself who came? So, who came to earth? God or his Son?

I've heard it before; People claim that the people without religion don't have reasons to live.

How do they/you figure?

So, that must mean that your only reason is to serve god, right?

I have reasons: To go to school; become somebody, help others, raise a family, teach and guide the young, be a good person.

So, are you saying that those aren't reasons? Are you saying that to serve god is the best, and only reason?

The Archangels are the Guardians of Holy.
A Cherub guarded the gates to the Garden of Eden.
People view some Angels as Guardian Angels.

And there are probably other examples I don't know about where they either watched over someone or something.

The books missing from Protestant Bibles are: Tobit, Judith, Baruch, Wisdom, Sirach, 1 and 2 Maccabees, and parts of Esther and Daniel.

Martin Luther, without any authority whatsoever, removed those seven books and placed them in an appendix during the reformation. They remained in the appendix of Protestant Bibles until about 1826, and then they were removed altogether.
