Religion & Spirituality - 22 August 2007

The only ways I can think of are:

1) personal thought alteration
2) social interaction
3) alteration of your physical environment

If he can't alter your free will then he can't do the first two because he also wouldn't be able to alter the free will of others. The only possible way is if he met you on Earth and personally speaks to you.

The other possibility is alteration of the physical environment. Can he move objects on Earth? Does he have to manifest as a human and physcially carry them or can he cause them to move on their own? If he has to manifest as a human, doesn't that limit his influence since he has limited time to operate?

And what's he doing leaving Hell anyway? I thought he was sent there, in which case his only influence is telekinesis and we never see that.

What gives?

First let me say that being underwhelmed is not the same as not having anything to do, or being caught up in everything. It's not being lazy. It's more about being under-utilized and not having enough responsibility.

So have you heard of the concept, or have experience with it? How have you worked through it?

Seriously, I just wondered what importance he is to their faith, as opposed to protestants. Why do they feel the need to have a Pope? What does he do? Is there scripture that backs up the need to have him? I just want to understand. :o)

I get that the point of reincarnation is to eventually attain nirvana/moksha/heaven (wotever u wanna call it). But how did the souls get caught in the karmic cycle in the first place? is there something equivalent to the First Sin for reincarnation?

And if you don’t you will be cursed for x amount of years. Do people really think God is going to bless and E-mail?

Prior to this question I ask about who is greater between Adam and Jesus as both of them had no father.

One of the answer say that Jesus existed before Adam, if that is true then my question is, why Moses didn't call "Jesus", when he saw the flame/fire.
Also, why nobody paint Jesus's face on the fire but a much older face looks like Santa Claus.

I'm a 20 yo guy who was born with a heart problem. I had to have many surgeries and now I have a pacemaker as well. I'm the healthiest I've ever been but I'm not very strong and I have limitations on my physical ability. If I can't do stuff now at 20, aging doesn't look like much fun. What do I have to look forward too? Its just going to get worse. How can I stay happy? Why did I have to be born like this?

How do you leave the physical world behind so that you're in the right mind-set to focus your energy on spell casting and communicating with the Goddess and God? Are there any aids that I can use to center myself? Teas? Prayers or chants? Music?

And if you are happy right now while being separated from God, why do you need to be with God? Why would you dislike Hell if it's the same as Earth?

Why do you feel it is your right to go out and harass homosexual men and women?

Where in the Bible does it say that preventing someone from doing what they want is a good thing?

Pardon my ignorance...but what does that mean exactly.

I see some people on here saying things like "I believe in God...but not the God of Abraham."

Does it work?

The Purina Diet

I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina for my dog and was in line to check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog........

Duh!!
I was feeling a bit crabby so on impulse I told her no, I was starting The Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care unit with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV's in both arms.
Her eyes about bugged out of her head. I went on and on with the bogus diet story and she was totally buying it. I told her that it was an easy, inexpensive diet and that the way it works is to load your pockets or purse with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The package said the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try
it again.

I know there are plenty of level headed Xians out there and even on this board. But I am seriously curious about your views on science. I get this idea from the theme of most of the more extreme posts on this forum:

Do you think science is a grand conspiracy to discredit god?

If so, can you explain why, without saying "It is the devil's work!"

BTW Before you even start, X is chi, the Greek symbol for Christ.

Living in Truth, you will be criticized by men for being "unfair" and "unjust" for your justice makes them feel unclean-unable to pursue their "illusions"

This is what they call "injustice" You upset them, hurt their feelings, and prevent them from taking "unfair" advantage - walking on heads and using other flesh for worldly gain. Certainly to frighten and to upset people is wrong ordinarily..but when honesty frighten, it is evil that cries "injustice!" - and goes to war against good.

The "spiritual man" is the "light" of the world. His "silence" is his own eternal death - the crucifixion by men for his boldness-the end of the world.

Both the "cruel" and the "unforgiving" are wrong. Only the "wickedness" of others brings out your love, and only your love brings men to repent. Only in repentance can men find the TRUTH

This TRUTH disables the cruelty of men and stifles it growth-insuring the safety of those yet to come. If, through fear of men's standards of morality, we fail-in-..
