Religion & Spirituality - 31 July 2007

I find it incredibly silly and asinine that there are all these "thee" and "thou" and all that garbage in the bible. Don't you think that God would like us to rewrite it with modern day talk, and maybe slang?

Maybe more young people will turn to religion if it wasn't so off putting like it is now. Its almost like a direct slap in the face when I try to decipher what the hell is being said. No one talks that way anymore.

answer to the question: Since Eve was tempted by the super natural, and Adam was tempted by only a woman, why was Eve punished in a harsher since than Adam. Eve got pain in child bearing. Adam had to work. In todays time Eve has to have pain in child bearing and work. Adam still just has to work. God knew the future so......

Jesus says this prophecy in Matthew 16:28, Mark 9:1, and Luke 9:27

All 3 scriptures are followed with Jesus taking Peter, James and John into an high mountain several days later. There Jesus was transfigured and the disciples saw him in his glory. Elias and Moses also appeared, and the three disciples also heard the voice of God.

Does not this Transfiguration fulfill the prophecy?

Okay, I'm seriously curious, a non-Christian/God doesn't exist/the Bible is false etc. person told me that the Bible has been proven wrong on numerous occassions.

So since Christians are always being asked to prove that God exists, the Bible is true etc. I'm asking them to prove that He doesn't and that it isn't.

Don't be a wimp and just put some random reason why you don't like Christianity, or say "Science is proven" that doesn't answer the question, it in fact evades it.

And if you plan on attacking me for my beliefs, or just saying "well YOU prove it!"... you're evading the question. Thanks! I'm seriously looking forward to seeing what you have to say (provided it's an intelligent "argument") lol

Buddha taught that the source of existence is within all--Christ taught the Kingdom of God is within all.Both taught the only way to realize this universal truth is to overcome your ego which separates you from the rest of existence--and that the ego is based on limited thought--& is changeable and temporary.
Luke 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come,
he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with signs: 21Neither shall they
say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

i never thought bout these verses till tonight and i started thinking of this category.



1 Corinthians 1:21-24
21) For since, in the wisdom of God, the WORLD through WISDOM did NOT know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
22) For JEWS request a SIGN, and Greeks seek after WISDOM;

23) but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks FOOLISHNESS,
24) but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

has anyone else actually thought of these verses before?

I read your answers and most of it is BS. For example some of you say, I used to be a Christian.There is no such thing. Either you are a Christian or you were never a Christian.

You do? Good! Then please allow me to wish from all of us a happy birthday to Kharm, truly a deeply intelligent and spiritual woman, on her (what I believe to be) 19th birthday today. Happy birthday Kharm! Now if Kharm allows it, I shall post her 360 link so you can all go over there and wish her the happiest birthday in the world and help to make it so she has more page views than her husband Freq!

Oh, and a very happy belated birthday to Bloody Kisses'! Sorry to anyone else whose birthday I missed. I've either not been on that day or never checked my mail on this account.

Can I get a woot woot for the birthday girls? Esp. since it's 11:59 P.M. and their birthdays are nearly over?

Things like, the US founding fathers were religious, that "scientific theories" are the same as guessing theories, that ALL dating methods are flawed, that dinosaurs and humans coexisted, that homonid fossils are just sick humans, that most scientists are becoming religious, Einstein was religious, that science tries to disprove god but cannot, that evolution means there should be no monkeys left, that ANY science that contradicts their bible can be proven false, that there are no transitional fossils, ..the list goes on and on, and they are ALL lies, and have been consistently easily exposed as such..

How can people embrace so much denial, ignorance and lies when ot comes to attempting to discredit science?
These people clearly attempt to misquote and misrepresent science in order to tear it down, but are not discrediting "mainstream science" at all..!

Do you think this is extremely dishonest, underhanded, misleading to young minds, ignorant and intellectually slanderous...?

Paul says Christianity lives or dies on the Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:14-17). Yet Jesus made many promises concerning his return during the lifetime of his then followers. (Matthew 16:28: “There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom”. Matthew 23:36, 24:34, Mark.9:1, 13:30, Luke 9:27, 21:32 & John 21:22) None of these prophecies have come true. Does this not make Jesus a false prophet? If so wouldn’t that make Christianity invalid?

I was answering a question earlier about bigotry and how we as a Society seem to be progressing beyond it. Yet, I thought how much more violence there seemed to be.
Why is it that people feel the need to resort to violence to get their points across? Why hurt another person just because you don't believe in, what they do or in how they love?
We wouldn't want anyone to do that to someone *we* Loved, so how could any human being do that to another??
One person's bloody hatred ends up being some one else's battered child.
Why?

Such as
1. Women can not become preists.
2. Bad people go to hell (Everyone goes to heaven, God loves everyone)
3. We shall not be preoccupied with anything besides God
4. Gay people go to hell
5. Everyone shall bow down before God (He is humble, not a monarchial jerk)
and alot more that would take hours to list.
