Religion & Spirituality - 29 July 2007

Certainly there are those who bring about their own suffering. Self inflicted. I've gone through things and I'm currently going through some situations that I just can't understand. I'm trying to figure out where is God in all of this? I sometimes wonder why even bother? It's really frustrating. Comments are welcome. Post away.

books were found in Egypt that were coined the gnostic gospels. they were around in the 50AD timescale. thats relatively close to the crucifixtion, yet thier style of christianity is extremely different than todays, with a whole different outlook on life and god/god's. too much to go into detail here while still seeming to be coherent, but if your familiar shouldnt we give weight to what they have to say

that the roman emperor called himself god, and through this created the Roman Catholic Church, and all who follow their church ways (using the bible) inevitably serve the god of the roman catholic church which is no other than today pope benedict.... former nazi soldier...

On 24th December every year, the 3 brightest stars in Orion's Belt, called today what they were called in ancient times, the "Three Kings", line up with Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. This line of four stars points to the place where the sun will rise on the 25th of December, from the point of the Northern Hemisphere. During the sun's "life" it will travel around the sky with it's 12 disciples (constellations). 22nd December, the Winter Solstice. The sun seems to rise lower and lower every day in Winter, until it doesn't perceivably rise any higher for 3 days, and rests on a point known as the Southern Cross, on the 22nd-25th December. With shorter, colder days, this would give the aura of death. After 3 days, the sun rises one degree. "God's son" has been reborn. Now you get the point, here's my question. ----- So, now that we don't have to take Heaven/Hell/God/A big book of sins seriously, doesn't mean we have to give up "love thy neighbour" does it?

The prophecy/legend of the White Buffalo has been told for 2000 years in this land. The prophecy is very clear, and has came true a decade ago. The native people are rising back to their feet, and still Christians try to deny the Native Spirit of this land.

Islam has a wider capacity to love as does the Lord of Abraham who blessed both the sons of Abraham with a covenant.

Just seeing people with so much hope and faith, but knowing that they're deluding themselves?

O Providence - grant me at least but one day of pure joy - it is so long since real joy echoed in my heart - O when - O when, O Divine One - shall I find it again in the temple of nature and of men - Never? no - O that would be too hard. - Beethoven

Why do I need praying for? Because if you read all of my Q&A's you'll see just how messed up I am... I love causing tension and making uproars...

By the way... If I could force Muslims, Christians, atheists... etc. to have sex with each other I would...

Am I really so dimented... and if so... Why do you love it so much?

It is very easy to make an experiment to test gravity, anyone can do it. Please show how an experiment can be done to test evolution and then show the results of that experiment.

That John 16:2 says: In fact the hour is coming when everyone that kills you will imagine he has rendered a sacred service to God. 3 But they will do these things because they have not come to know either the Father or me. Jesus was talking so he meant himself. So what religion who doesn't believe in Jesus or his father would believe by killing those who do would be doing a service to God? This was a prophecy for the last days. Who could that be?

I collect all manner of quotes and stuff , and have had this little collection for ages ( although they dont apply to me )
so they are for you and I hope they make you smile


A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.

Don't put a question mark where God puts a period.

Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to the church for a face-lift.

When praying, don't give God instructions -- just report for duty.

We don't change God's message -- His message changes us.

The church is prayer-conditioned.

Plan ahead -- It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.

Exercise daily -- walk with the Lord.

Many spiritual beliefs have prophecies, but they are meaningless unless they are very clear as to what will happen, and they become true. Do you agree with this?

Positive Actions and Love carry has no boundries. But at the same time we are social creatures so we need to be part of a group too at the same time. The main purpose of all the religions was to create unity but lack of tolerance and compassion seems to be prevailent now. So how can we eleviate our thinking and rise above the religious bounds that make us narrow-minded and full of ego making us believe we are the Chosen Ones. What are the steps that you can suggest to clear our minds and see the human being, a part of ourself in all?

I want hard proof not theories because theories are obviously something that has not been proven. If you have proof on chrisitanity please share to the non-believers.

Evolution is just a theory, a hypothesis. There is no scientific evidence correct? If I am wrong, please correct me. My point is, if I am correct and it is just a hypothesis, then why do a lot of athesists and agnostics place so much "faith" in it? I usually get discredited on my faith in Christ with the theory of evolution.

There are two legit reasons why we don't feel His presence. It isn't because He doesn't want us to feel his presence. These 2 legit reasons proves His presence, if you have them, then you feel His presence because Jesus had them when He was on this earth. What are those 2 legit reasons?
