Religion & Spirituality - 16 August 2007

21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, 10 but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.

22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?'

23 Then I will declare to them solemnly, 'I never knew you. 11 Depart from me, you evildoers.'

If you know how things work, and can therefore predict and somewhat control how things will turn out from day to day, situation to situation, do you really need hope? Is hope really necessary? Isn't that just for people that DON'T have any knowledge or control of their situations?

Is saying the words, "I believe in God" enough?

Actually it's not. It's a myth. But have you noticed how negative the Christians here are? The instruction in the gospels to Christians is to go into the world and spread the GOOD NEWS of the gospel. But the Christians around here don't do that. All they do here is try and threaten people with damnation and try to cast fear into us.

If that's all you have to offer, no thanks.

Thoughts?

Or do you accept that you have as much proof as anyone else and that you dont know for a fact your religion is right?

Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Thy daily stage of duty run;
Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise,
To pay thy morning sacrifice.

Thy precious time misspent, redeem,
Each present day thy last esteem,
Improve thy talent with due care;
For the great day thyself prepare.

By influence of the Light divine
Let thy own light to others shine.
Reflect all Heaven’s propitious ways
In ardent love, and cheerful praise.

In conversation be sincere;
Keep conscience as the noontide clear;
Think how all seeing God thy ways
And all thy secret thoughts surveys.

Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart,
And with the angels bear thy part,
Who all night long unwearied sing
High praise to the eternal King.

All praise to Thee, who safe has kept
And hast refreshed me while I slept
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake
I may of endless light partake.

Is there really a difference?

Dar Al Salam (Arabic), Translation "Land of peace"...
It was the land from Asia, to the Atlantic Ocean in Moracco.. Muslim land with people of " Just Muslims' " nationality.....

Any man or woman used to travel through that land fearing nothing, even predators.. facing nothing except peaceful behaviour everywhere... it remained for 1000 year...

When "Ibn Battota's " money were stolen by a badndit in Dar Al Salam; it was a disaster and people didn't believe it.. They thought it was a myth.. The governer of this area where the theft occured "Tunisia of Today" was removed and punished by the Caliph.

Muslims, how can we get "Dar Al salam" back?

A very significant event in the Christian doctrine is the Crucifixion of Jesus. Before talking about the many controversies surrounding the Crucifixion, it should be mentioned that it was a gospel of Paul’s which professed the Crucifixion/Resurrection of Jesus (II Timothy 2:8):
"Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel."

Allah is simply God in Arabic. So what's the big deal? It's supposed to be all the same God anyways. The only difference being how each group views Jesus.

Elohim - Hebrew
Theos - Greek
God - English
Allah - Arabic

If Mary Magdalene was married to Jesus, why was she far off from the cross? The following verses state so:

Matthew 27:55-56 – “And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto Him: Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.

Mark 15:40-41 – There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.

Luke 23:49 – And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
