Religion & Spirituality - 23 July 2007

It is clearly written in the bible that earth was created in 7 days and that earth is only over 6,000 years old. Now science has proven them wrong, so the slippery christians go all the way and say that those numbers are not to be taken literally??!! If 7 days does not mean 7 days, then why would the author bother writing the word "Day" at all? Days, weeks, months, years, and etc., are not random durations made up from scratch! They are calculated from earth's circulation around itself and around the sun! The bottom line is that when you believe in something, you must take what you have and stand by that! You can't change the content of what you believe in inorder to benefit your own belief! Either you believe what the entire book says or don't believe it at all!

. . . can't seem to quite come up with one of my own.

How about "I've never had sex with a goat I set on fire?"

Will that do?

Maybe "I've never killed anyone that didn't deserve it?"

How's that? No?

How about I just give ten points to the first person to identify both references? :-)

Having no "religion", I should leave some instructions for my
funeral rites for those I left behind, so that they will not be
uncertain of what to do or worse, quarrel over what should be done. What options do I have for my funeral rites?

And please, no answers about free will, because last I checked, the Jews (the current 'chosen' ones) had just as much free will as those of us who aren't in that tribe.

I see that so many of you come to this board and love to make fun of Christians and they're religion. My question for you is....why are you here?

An Athiest is someone who has no religion. So if you have NO religion...why come to the religion and spirituality board?

I mean thats like a Christian coming to a board that says "Satan and Demons".

. . .may I suggest a more appropriate metaphor?

We--all of us--are on a sinking ship with no lifeboats. Jesus says to each person, "Come with Me; I have a unsinkable lifeboat and there's room in it for you." Now, if we choose to stay on board the ship as it sinks, how can we complain that we're being punished at all, let alone *unfairly* punished?

Is it wrong for me to not want to talk about your religion and relationship with God to other people. I have this friend that constantly talks about his religion, what he does at church, tells me that I need to do more in the my church like him. It gets a little annoying because it doesn’t sound like he is a proud Christian, it sounds like he is he looks down on anybody who does not go to church as much as him. I am a Christian, I go to church, and I love the lord but I feel that my relationship with the lord is personal and that I shouldn't have to constantly talk about it every minute. Is it wrong to feel this way? Should I let him know how I feel...if so, how could I tell him without seeming like I am ashamed of my relationship with the lord. I really need some advice with this. Thanks.

In Psalm 2:7, the Lord said to David: "...Thou art my son: this day have I begotten thee."

(Matthew 5:45, 48). Luke 3:38 says: "...Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the Son of God."

Who is mentioned in Hebrews 7:3 as like unto the Son of God? It is Melchisedec, King of Salem, as mentioned in Hebrews 7:1.

Moreover, Adam did not have a mother or father, but was the first human being created by God and in the likeness of God to exist in the Garden of Eden and on earth. Wouldn’t this give more rights to Adam to be called the Son of God in its truest meaning?

I have never ever heard of one Atheist killing him/herself.But yet you are the ones with the high count.For example when Rev Jim Jones and his followers killed themselves most of them where Christians.

be very Godly, someone speaks of tougue of God's glory but bears very bad fruit. Someone who has pride and ego same size of santan's, someone who thinks that is his birth right to use and abuse women emotional and physically and mentally, someone who is a pathological liar and constantly lie about everything. someone who is promiscous and yet prides himself as David, someone who is pround of the fact that he loves God but yet refuses to repent. Someone who is cruel, unkind, vindicative, loud, someone who is entitled to abuse, manipulate and use others, someone who will respond to your kind reminder with violent rage of asking you to remove your logs in your eyes. someone you want to remind him that God sees everything he does and what is in his heart. Some one you pray for his repentece.
Do people like this exists? Are they from God. Will God save them again before it is too late?
The David thing, why is it so common and convienece for them to say they are David
