As the holy spirit and God are both of the trinity. If not then what exactly is this blasphemy of the spirit. I feel such a irredeemable sin deserves to have more said about it in the bible to make it clear or how can we avoid it?

WHAT is God’s holy spirit? In its opening words, the Bible speaks of the holy spirit—also rendered “God’s active force”—as “moving to and fro over the surface of the waters.” (Genesis 1:2) In the account of Jesus’ baptism, while God is described as being in “the heavens,” the holy spirit appears “descending like a dove” upon Jesus. (Matthew 3:16, 17) Additionally, Jesus spoke of the holy spirit as a “helper.”—John 14:16.

"And I am not frightened of dying. Any time will do; I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it—you've gotta go sometime."

A theory by definition has to do with conjectures, hypotheses and unproven assumptions.

Evolution is not a scientific theory neither is Creation for that matter.

Evolution nor Creation is not testable. (FACT).

Evolution and Creation are equally religious. You will either have faith in one or the other. Neither can be proven.(FACT).

Have faith dear friend in GOD.
Genesis 1:1
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth"

Isaiah 45:18
"For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else".

Colossians 1:16
"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: VS 17.And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

FAITH-GOD

I was looking into becoming an ordained minister online. I looked at two sites ULC.org and Compu-church, are either or both of these legitimite? Also I would not do it for this purpose but I found a website that said ministers get tax breaks and discounts, anyone know what they are talking about? I am getting it in order to perform a ceremony but just curious about the other stuff because I do run a charity organization.

okay people are always complaining that Christians are imposing their beleifs on them, and i agree with that. but, dont those same people, like atheists, also do the same thing? i think those people are hypocritical. do you see this too, and what are your ideas about it? i think both groups of people are as annoying as hell.

We all know taking good care of our bodies, is done by eating right, getting enough excercise and rest, but how do you take care of your spirit? I do through Prayer, walking on the beach to see GOD's magnificent creation, meditating on GOD's wonderful blessings of Strength, Courage, Hope, Faith Love
and Ultimate PEACE..

Is thier really another way to feed the soul without GOD?

Our bodies one day will grow old weary. tired and turn to dust, but the Spirit remains strong and lives on with GOD.
Thoughts?

With thanks to Beetleman, for the link to the url for the full text.

Here are the *other* words in the text (emphasis in caps added) -

"It is possible, according to Catholic doctrine, to AFFIRM CORRECTLY that the Church of Christ IS PRESENT and OPERATIVE in the CHURCHES AND ECCLESIAL COMMUNITIES NOT YET FULLY IN COMMUNION WITH THE Catholic Church, ON ACCOUNT OF the elements of sanctification and TRUTH that are present in them. (9) Nevertheless, the word "subsists" can only be attributed to the Catholic Church alone precisely because it refers to the mark of unity that we profess in the symbols of the faith (I believe... in the "one" Church); and this "one" Church subsists in the Catholic Church. (10) "

"Third Question: Why was the expression "subsists in" adopted instead of the simple word "is"?

Response: The use of this expression, which indicates the full identity of the Church of Christ with the Catholic Church, does not change the doctrine on the Church. Rather, it comes from and brings out more clearly the fact that there are "numerous elements of sanctification and of truth" which are found outside her structure, but which "as gifts properly belonging to the Church of Christ, impel towards Catholic Unity" (11).

"It follows that these separated churches and Communities, though we believe they suffer from defects, are deprived neither of significance nor importance in the mystery of salvation. In fact the Spirit of Christ has not refrained from using them as instruments of salvation, whose value derives from that fullness of grace and of truth which has been entrusted to the Catholic Church" (12).


Does the above sound like the Pope said that there is no truth of Christ in churches other than the Catholic Church? No!

Next Wednesday 7-18-2007 (aka 7-666-333). Seriously...there will be a nuke attack on an American city as Mickie Chertoff told us today "we will be attacked this summer...I just have a gut feeling". Of course the attack will be blamed on the Muslims but it will be done by the US government...just like 9/11. Bush will declare Marshal Law and then hand over his power to the Anti-Christ...and the 2300 day Tribulation will begin. All 21 of the presidential "candidates" will endorse this move and the American people will be scammed yet again. The "attack" will crash the world economy (which is on the brink of collapse anyway) and money will be replaced by a virtual cash system that will require all to get a micro-chip to make transactions.

You Christians that are hoping for the "rapture"...yeah that's another scam you've been sold. Your "rapture" will come when Jesus returns and fries everyone who has the chip in them.

RIGHT!
We all know that the majority rules. The majority is always right. It's basic scienticific statistical analysis.
It's how we govern. it's how we rule. Always have. Always will.

That God's word can be distorted tells me not only to view the bible with suspicion (after all, we do not know how distorted it was when written) but that God did a poor job of handing down his views in a way that cannot be distorted.

I'd expect a real god could do better. If he can build a universe and all life you'd think he could make a book fool-proof.

Please explain.

and you don't believe a word of, and think they belong to a cult.
Is it better to say nothing, and agree for the sake of peace, or challenge their scripture with your own.
Would saying nothing mean you are letting the Lord Jesus down. What do you think.

It has been argued (http://www.wildmind.org/blogs/on-practice/kobai-renunciation#more-454) that Western Buddhists say they have broken their attachments to objects so they don't have to give up the objects themselves.... is that true or are their lots of examples of Buddhists living truly simple lives in the West other than in monastic situations?
