Religion & Spirituality - 13 July 2007

Realistically, its perfectly natural for humans to question existence and the afterlife, we all do it, I do too. The question I guess I'm just concerned that many people who assume a religious following forget about they're needs and interests. I don't believe that religions- like christianity or islam- if they're real then no one can be wrong for doing whatever they want. People need to focus on themselves first, and focus on whats real NOW - instead of focussing on whats real in an eternity, because for all we know Life may be our last chance of life.

why do we all have such different personalities and beliefs? I believe in God and love him with all I have, but I am still confused as to why, we all were given different lives, chances and some didnt get the opportunities as others. He says he is a fair and just God, yet I dont really see fairness in much of anything. if he was fair and Just we would all have the same.

I realize that the New Testament is all about selling your soul to Jesus, so I'm not really talking about that.

BUT, why do people that oppose the Bible always completely and totally ignore the obvious moral of the story "Evil will Kill us all, but Good would save us all" and focus on the outlandish stuff like miracles and GOD and stuff? Morality, compassion, higene, and other safe practices are good. Being an evil swine is bad. What more do you want?

By focusing on the 'miraculous' events and whining about how they aren't true, we do the Bible a great disservice. By focusing on the handfull of times when some 'holy' guy says 'KILL THAT HOOKER!'. We make it seem as though that was GOD's idea. Well it wasn't. It was a desparate idea thought up by some destarate man. Just like capital punishment.

Consider the possibility that all of those guys that did that evil crap were wrong. Consider the possibility that that was the whole point of that chapter. Then you might understand.

I've heard it said that you can tell a true Christian by his or her deeds and the fruit they leave. I've also heard it said that deeds are unimportant to God - what's paramount is belief and acceptance of Him and Jesus. (If deeds were important, I've been told, an atheist who's led an exemplary life, but rejected God, could go to heaven). Since that doesn't seem to be the case...

Question: If all Christians accept God and Jesus, what makes some "true" and others not so true?

When you first came to this path, did it come easy to you?
Do you remember feeling as though you had always known certain things?
Did you find that ideas popped into your head, then on researching you found that your idea is fact?
I guess what i am asking is, Do you believe that your soul has been on this path before?
Blessed be!

There is a tremendous possibility that every last one of us hase misinterpreted the Bible and are living their lives based on a false rendition of Biblical beliefs. Not just Christians, but also Atheists and people that oppose the Bible in general are out there living by a lot of misconseptions about GOD, Jesus, and scripture, and every last one of them is convinced that they know everything there is to know about GOD's word. Yeah, sure, they might admit that they don't know everything (by saying things like "Nobody Knows") every once in a while, but when the time comes to make their point, they refuse to give an inch.

Do you think that you know the Bible as well as your own Diary, or do you admit that there is, in fact a possibility that you, like those that oppose you, could have accidentally mis-interpreted the Bible? Can you admit that the GOD you love (or hate) might be a self imposed fiction and not the actual GOD? Or, do you think that your translation is 100% accurate?

There are many churches in the world. But what church did Jesus go too? I do know that Jesus said you can identify his people by the love they show. He also said his people must make discliples. Is there a church or churches that help there fellow members and people on the outside finacially, physically and mentally. Also is there churches that there members preach t what jesus said "Repent the kingdom of god is near.

Please - I have no intention to annoy anyone , but if one goes trhough Ramayana - then you will clearly come across many landmarks that are still existing today - in Tamil Nadu. One example is rameshwaram port in Tamil nadu and the same port city with the same name mentioned in Ramayana.

Today the Adams Bridge ( Rama's Bridge ) starts from this port ( another significant evidence. And there are many temples mentioned in the epic that can be found in this state.

OK - so if thats true , Rama who came to the south needed to cross the sea to reach Sri Lanka , and for that he needed a bridge...well to build a bridge Rama needs extensive labour power and the only available source for that was from the country or place where he wanted to build the bridge - ( todays Tamil Nadu )

Rama - an Aryan - tall with build-up body frame - got helped from the Tamils ( short , very dark , small-buil-up) - so he label them and thier kingdom as monkey-man from monkey-man kingdom

I know that we shouldn't have the ritualistic and show offy prayer lives, but I feel that the words to this chorus are a perfect representation of what I need God to do to me every day.

Search me oh God
and know my heart today
Try me oh savior
and know my thoughts I pray
See if there be
some wicked way in me
Cleanse me from every sin
and set me free.

Sometimes it is hard for me to say what my spirit is wanting to say, and I turn to song to express the deep emotions of my soul. What does your soul try to say? Is it easy to say? What do you find is the easiest way to express your feelings to an almighty God?

in order that they do not participate in the use of birth control pills or have an unintended pregnancy? I mean if it's clear they are having sex but, they do not want children and they are not married. Is this a case of the lesser of two evils? To avoid a temptation for abortion? What's your opinion?

Yes, you have told them over and over about sin and it goes in one ear and ou the other. (sign of the times)

If you're not Christian, just save your thoughts for another question.

1.Why do you believe in God?

2.Were you raised Christian?

3.Do you ever have doubts in the Bible?

4.Is it alright to be gay?

5. Was there ever a point in your life that you didn't believe in God?

Thanks.

Today, on a car ride from the airport, I witnessed a car swirve off the side of the road, flip over, and hit a tree. I know the person or people inside were injured from the looks of it, but I have not heard if they are going to be okay. Please, the crash victim(s) need your support and prayer, so please send some their way. Thank you for reading this.
