Yes, i know thats not the point..... But I would still like to know. The bible does not state how far it was, so I was wondering if anyone has read anything about that.

Thanks

When you mention this people think of cults, and Tom Cruise. But, does anybody attend one or know more about it and could give me some real info ? I prefer un-biased opinions.

... can he/she still be considered Christian?

Such as, believing that going to Church on Sunday is sufficient when Christianity is supposed to work through them every minute of their life.

By no means is this an attack on Christianity, it could happen to any believer of any causes but I happen to be reading on Christianity.

If Atheism is the belief that there is no God- and that is the foundation of their belief, then is Atheism considered a religion since religions usually have a belief in a divine power? Or is the term religion here implied to mean a belief in anything, and not just a divinity?

All religions are welcome provided they follow the basic rule: that the member is guided by reason and logic. Atheists are also commonly found in this group since it does not imply any deity. Is this what religion will become when they can no longer deny scientific evidence?

I accept total numbers/estimates of the whole state and also of your city or county.

And if you say "too many!", then I will report you. I'm looking for serious answers here.

If God exists/existed, I doubt it would have a human gender. Wouldn't that be simply pointless? And the implications of being a certain sex...

If you believe god is male (or female), do you think 'he' would have to have the neceassary chromosomes...or merely the sexual organs?

Just wondering...it makes no sense. But most beliefs don't, so why am I surprised?

What was the Apostle Paul talking about?

2007-07-16 16:50:33 · 30 answers · asked by Anonymous

This was a response to a previous question of mine... "A human being has a soul---therefore more value than anything on this planet. To end a human's life is one of the most terrible things anyone can do. To end an animal's life is, well, ending the life of an animal."
I find this to be disturbing in more ways than one, I hold all life at equal value.. I dont believe we humans are more valuable than other life on this planet. Dont you think its a dangerous world view(or religion) that places humanity above all else? I mean if we are worth more than anything else who cares if you kill every other living thing on this planet.. it's just an animal right? But aren't we ALL animals? We are all born, we all live and we all die... we all came about on this planet together who are you to say that human life is more valuable?? This is yet another reason I shy from religion, its so egocentric...

I believe in God and Jesus and all the tales of Jesus but I also believe in evolution and not in Adam and Eve. Is there a religion that falls under this criteria?

The broad consensus of research shows that people with higher IQs tend to be less religious!

Argument

Is it more logical to be a Christian? Is religion the natural choice of a smart person familiar with more of the evidence? Not according to a broad consensus of studies on IQ and religiosity. These studies have consistently found that the lower the IQ score, the more likely a person is to be religious.
The studies go here.......
.......CONCLUSION: The consensus here is clear: more intelligent people tend not to believe in religion. And this observation is given added force when you consider that the above studies span a broad range of time, subjects and methodologies, and yet arrive at the same conclusion.

Lately there has been a war in our home over religion of all things....it didnt matter to me or my hubby that we were different denominations when we gotg married but now we have a 12 week old son and it seems to matter more then ever to us both now...i go to church 3 times a week and my hubby goes to mass on Christmas....(ok, i'm getting of point here...)
anyway...i feel like it's the childs decision to give his life to Jesus when he's old enough to understand....and my hubby feels like we need to have him baptized asap...I guess i can bend a little, after all he loves our son and wants to feel he is protected etc....if we have him baptized in a catholic church does this mean he's catholic....

My church baptises by full body immersion, Jesus was baptised by full body immersion- the word baptism itself comes from the greek "to dip or immerse". So why do some christian churches baptise by other methods? sprinkling etc.... isn't this going against what Christ taught?

Where in the Bible does it designate the Holy Spirit as a "He" and not an "It"? Thanks.

If you have, could you please tell us of your experiences? I would like to talk to someone about it...even if they don't help at all, I would like to compare them to some more advanced teachings I found. Thanks.

This is a link to a youtube audio clip of a radio conversation between Kent Hovind and a molecular biologist. Kent is asked to give an example of what applications can come from creationism and how they can benefit humanity.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnb_pmRDpqU

It leads to a profound question; how can religious doctrine benefit humanity? Kent couldn’t answer it because I think he knew religion can’t but he didn’t want to say it because religion is his livelihood (or will be when he gets out of jail).

Did I once again get several thumbs down for suggesting someone love and respect someone else? Is that the "new" religion - do unto others the opposite of what you wish done to you?

What exactly is wrong with loving and respecting others, especially family members? Isn't that what jesus said on a number of occasions? So why is it bad if he suggested it?

All I hear about on here is sin and how strong the devil is and how he tricks you or makes you weak. I must not have this problem since I believe in neither god nor a devil. I have never been arrested, clean criminal and driving history, never struck anyone in anger, never cheated in any relationship, give time and money to the community, donate to world relief efforts(even Christian if they are an effective organization), don't drink, don't do drugs, maintain a registered wildlife habitat and care for animals, don't kill anything (spiders go outside), love my wife, love my son, personally care for my parents health, and YET I am told I am hellbound simply because I don't believe. Boggles the mind.

Does God even have a certain skin color? There are many that portray him as white but a lot of black people think of him as black? is it a personal decision?
