We are all hypocrits! Rather you go to church or not you are still from a fallen nature and make mistakes. Do we want to?

If I do not forgive someone for something they did that hurt me, does that mean I will not go to heaven?

Devi Dasi says ":- Maya (illusion) that is what this world is."
______________________________________

World is made up of material--please read the Vedam correctly,which says "Aatman Nityam-Jagat Mithya"--Aathma is Eternal & the World is ever changing,destructible and not Eternal.All the Three Acharyas Sarva sri.Sankara ,Ramanuja and Madwa agree. World is Achetanam & Aatman is Chetanam--so -"Chaitanyam"--Vedam says "Ekaiva Brahmam Satyam-Param naasthi"=there is ONE and Only Brahmam(Aatman):there is no second One.sri Acharya Sankara asks,"If what Vedam says is true and if there is only ONE Brahman(Aatman)where does the quetion of Two(Dwaitha) arise ?
Brahman is immanent and all pervasive and all imbibisive-Veda Maha Vaakyams are "Tat twam Asi"-Aham Brahmaasmi"--As happy_n_freeone says "This world is not maya, but our conceptions---are."conception"& "Maya" both are Psychic traits-not material.So conception of "Jeeva"&"Parama" is Maya-Not World.Only One Aathman(Brahmam) exists

Metallica's James Hetfield was delayed longer than usual at the security check at a British airport because some racist Islamophobe security lad interogated him when he saw Hetfield's "Taliban-like" beard.

Come on people! This is not just plain stupid. This is religious discrimination. They even did it to the Metallica guy just because they thought he was a Muslim!

Does anyone have actual, scientific proof for creationism? And dont just say "look around you". That is not proof in any way. There is so much scientific evidence of evolution, I was wondering if there was one shred of evidence for creationism.

I read in some other question, someone saying something like, a newborn baby that dies, goes to heaven, tho even he's born with the original sin running through his veins, cause he doesn't have the ability to grasp the idea of what the original sin is, and some other stuff.. which is the craziest thing that i have ever heard. do we ever really get to grasp the idea of the original sin? do Christian even get to grasp that concept? Those in some parts of the world that ARE able to grasp the concept but don't even have the chance, cause Christianity never got to them, go to Hell? If the answer is "no" cause you gotta have the chance at least... isn't that a little bit of favoritism from God's side.. giving some the easy way to heaven, like dead newborn babies or people that don't get to hear a thing about God's word, for example.. and some others will have it really tough having to fight hard not to sin for a whole life, and some times they don't make it, and are sent to Hell after all.

Just look at the what has been reaped from the seeds of Islam! If the West hadn't invented a need for fossil based fuels, the Middle East would be more impoverished than most parts of Africa mired in dark age stupidity and superstitions.

As was proscribed in the Bible, they will be like donkeys of men, and brothers will murder brothers.

When I was younger and live in my old hometown my parish had 6 churches all with in ten minutes of eachother. All of them were filled on sundays, even with young people. I went back to see the town and only two are open now! That really depressed me to see my old parish dying off and I dont wanna see that happen, but I dunno what to do.

Is the Word of God, the bread ?

When Jesus said you must eat my flesh, was he talking about the Word of God ?

Is this how our spirit is fed, not of the bread we eat, but of the bread from heaven, the Word of God ?

If this is true, would not the Words of men be false bread ? if so would it not be better for us to us to hear the Words spoken by Jesus ?

Supernatural implies that he rises out of and above nature, whereas subnatural implies that nature rises out of him. Is he the product of nature (supernaturalism) or is nature the product of him (subnaturalism)?

We (Christians) believe that Christ Jesus is God almighty who became man to redeem us.
(If you take a minute to meditate that God Almighty became man you will be filled with awe and wonder - - Truly amazing)
Anyway, I was debating this topic with Jehovah's witnesses members and I don't doubt that Christ is God one bit.
I'm just wondering, what is the importance of Christ being God Himself. We all know that a higher power died for us.
Does it make any difference if that Person is God or someone a little bit lower than God?

Thanks for your Spirit filled answers.

Through meditation, how does a person learn to focus all of their thought energy on one single thing? I know there are techniques where you focus on a candle, for example, or your breathing. But what does that mean? What does it mean to focus your mind on a single object...do you study it, do you recite its characteristics in your head? If so, how do you stay interested. Breathing in and out isn't that interesting (or runs out of notable characteristics [to me]) after a few minutes.

I know these are really beginner questions when it comes to meditation, but learning to focus my mind and clear out the clutter is something I really want to learn. So I appreciate any advice you have.

Thanks!

is "thou shall not kill".Byzantines, conquistadors from Spain tortured and killed the Incans, Pilgrims from England killed (poisoned,tortured, hung) the Native Americans, Hitler and Mousalini,communist U.S.S.R, Desert Storm, George W. Bush and his puppets. No other religion has done as much killing...And when It comes down to it, it was done over religion.

For Jesus said I come in my Father's name and you believe me not, for another shall come in his own name and you will believe him.

Any man that heareth MY WORDS and doeth is like unto a wise man who buildt his house on a rock.

For the Holy Ghost will bring to your remembrance whatsoever I HAVE SAID UNTO YOU.

For grace and TRUTH came by Jesus Christ

Moses gave you not that bread from heaven

When was the last time you heard the Words Jesus spoke in His sermon on the mount, verse by verse and nothing was left out ?

than this world could be a much better place to live if we just
accept each other as we are without prejudice and being biased or racist , and being polite and kind to one another.
Accept people in your churches just as that person is and
without shoving your religon on that person he or she gay or
bisexual and having a heart for other people
Take them out for dinner and coffee at your nearest Restaurant
or something fun' to do after church
If we humans were all like the Lord Jesus can you imagine"
the love we would have for each other without condemnation
and telling them they are going to hell or preaching hell fire to
them
No we should be like one big huge family of brothers and
sisters I go to your Church and you go to my Church for a
visit and see that was not soo bad
But all it seems is as Christians or Atheists we have our
differences and we are such a divided nation under God"
and it is sad we hate each other for who we are
