To say that Roman Catholiscism is the only true religion? How many anglicans are offended to the core by this old man's (ex hitler youth) overly pious decree? How can he still be allowed his primacy if he is so blind to the rather catholic world that embraces all colours, religions and creeds. I know that the pope himself talks with other religious leaders and imagine that God himself has time for even the buddhists. How can the leader of the Catholic church be so un-catholic?

Can you please tell me your favourite Biblical quotes of comfort in times of fear?

I collapsed yesterday morning (reasons still unknown) and smashed my face on the floor, nearly knocking out two of my front teeth. I have to go to the dentist in just over an hour, and i'm terrified. I was hoping to find some Biblical teachings that would help me.

Please don't respond saying that the Bible is not what I need, or that the Bible is useless, as I have recieved many responses just like this in previous questions, and while I respect the opinions of the posters and have no desire to change them, that's not what I need right now - I am asking a specific question, if you have no intention of answering it then please don't reply. Thank you.

The Jews asked Jesus whether the man (who was born blind) or his parents had sinned to cause it. How could he have sinned before he was born, unless he was reincarnated? Also, there are suggestions that people at the time believed that John the Baptist was the reincarnation of Elijah. Jesus seems to have taught something like karma when he says in the Sermon on the Mount that a person will not be released from punishment until he/she has paid the utmost farthing. It says in the Bible that a person will reap what he/she sows. It seems that belief in reincarnation was common at the time but that it has been suppressed afterwards by the church. (Some of the early Christians certainly believed it.)

I personally find reincarnation much more persuasive than the idea that you will be tortured for all eternity because your distant mythical ancestors stole a piece of fruit (unless you accept the torture and death of God's only son for your salvation).

how can there be 3 different persons in one god. why did jesus(peace be upon him) pray to GOD? why did he say "not my will but yours"? that would mean that GOD has 2 conflicting wills. why did jesus ask GOD "why have you forsaken me? jesus (pbuh) told his disciples that he didnt know when the end time would come, that only the father knew. how could all this be if all three persons are all god?

Ok, so imagine that on some rainy Tuesday it all kicks off, and we as humanity suddenly have to deal with the arrival of an alien race on our doorstep.

Without getting sidetracked too much, assuming that these aliens are the vastly superior life forms that have been butchering cows and raping white trash for generations, and have the technology advantage and no doubt their own culture (possibly own religion etc) too.

On the surface, perhaps the two dont necessarily come into conflict, but consider the threat of our Earth centric religious views suddenly being brought to bear against a race who has more knowledge of the universe - or having to deal with the fact that we are not a "chosen race".

Would discoveries such as this change religion forever? Would it spell the beginning of the end for them? Would they adapt to encompass them also? Or indeed, is there no conflict at all?

SPECULATE!!!

I am not a religious person, but I take great comfort in the fact that I will always be part of this universe iin some form or another. No matter what you do to try and anhialate me I will always belong. Even if I became a million tiny particles of dust it is still part of me. When the earth exists no more and the whole planet just disintegrates my essence will be floating off somewhere into the vast universe. Every being that ever existed on this planet is still here in one form or another. I don't need a heaven or hell. I'm part of this huge cosmos and until nothing exists anymore I will always be part of it regardless what you might believe. Thats a rather comforting thought and death holds no fear for me. Religion has locked us into some sort of myth that there is something better after this, so when your playing your harp and sitting in front of some sycophantic god who needs your worship to boost gods already inflated ego, I will be floating off as some tiny particle.

Leviticus 18:22

a passage from the Mosaic Code that is often used to condemn homosexual behavior in general. In transliterated Hebrew, the verse is written: "V’et zachar lo tishkav mishk’vey eeshah toeyvah hee."
* literally translated as "And with a male you shall not lay lyings of a woman"
Christians have interpreted this passage from the Jewish book as a bludgeon to bash homosexuals with but what is really being said here, is it about pederasty, temple prostitution, contaminating a woman's bed or something else? and to whom did the cleanliness codes apply? Did they apply to everyone or just a particular group of Levites? Thank you.

Hmm... to my understanding according to 2Nephi 32:2-5 (my fav. scriptures by the way along with 8-9 in that same chapter ^_^) and Elder Holland's discourse in the last General Conference, it is to speak without harming anyone, speaking and showing your faith, be careful with your words, etc... Am i right?
But according to some questions and answers here it seems like it is something else? like another language or something? hmmm.... what is it all about, am I missing something?

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! ^_^

I was raised catholic. O.k., and I dont think I am a good one, and I think they have too many of their own rules. Alot of freedom is lost. I bread the silly rules, not the 10 commandmants but the catholic church's silly rules they make up. I've baptized my kids catholic because thats all I know of religion but have not been faithful using the strict rules on them. I feel bad, should We change religion?

I'm currently a practicing Catholic, but I'm growing tired for my church's political views, and feel that perhaps I would be better off going to a conservative Evangelical or Protestant church rather than being a hypocrite that disagrees with the Catholic beliefs.

Question is- how do you find a conservative church? I'm a traditional catholic and I was shocked at how liberal the protestant churches are in my area, even the ones that say they're Evangelical. Is there a way of finding churches that are very traditional in their beliefs?
