Religion & Spirituality - 23 August 2007

I know not all religous people are like this but..

For those of you who abousletly deny evolution, among with other biology related science, does that mean that none of you ever pursue science as a degree? Or wants to become a doctor?

Because I was watching jesus camp and the priest say, not that we're made out of cytoplasam, whatever that is

My first reaction was what an idiot

my second was I suppose none of them pursue a career in a science field if their so unwilling to learn about the basic strucutre of cells

And I'm not even sure if anyone in R&S is like that

What if, at the appointed hour, Satan realized the error of his ways. He approached God, lay prone at His feet, and begged forgiveness. If God forgave Satan, He would prove His love and forgiveness of all things, just the way the Bible says. But if He does, the Apocolypse will not happen. The Bible states the Apocolypse will happen, and Satan will be in charge of it. So, because it is written down already, would God's hand be forced into denying Satan a shot at redemption, just because he didn't know any better a long time ago? What are your thoughts?

an outward sign : INDICATION b : something that furnishes proof : TESTIMONY; specifically : something legally submitted to a tribunal to ascertain the truth of a matter
2 : one who bears witness; especially : one who voluntarily confesses a crime and testifies for the prosecution against his accomplices in evidence
1. Where is your evidence GOD does not exsit?
2. Where is your evidence Aliens do not reside on other planets?
3. Where is your evidence there is no Afterlife
4. Where is your evidence a person has not had a divine healing?
5. Where is your evidence the TORAH and the Holy Bible was not inspired by GOD?

Since you refuse everyone and anyone who has bear witness to these things, then can you prove differently?

Let me start off acknowledging that I am well aware of the fact that LOTS of Christians never voted for Bush in the first place.

For those who did, how are they reconciling all the anti-Christian scandals that are plaguing this administration, not to mention a war that's killing tens of thousands of people. And the underhanded, insincere, and diabolical manipulation of Christian voters by feigning concern for their issues.

Even if you didn't believe in any religion (and were completely against religion alltogether because of all the drama and conflict is causes), but were still a good person all through your life and had faith that a higher being existed, whether it be God, Jesus, etc. - would you still go to Heaven when you die? I just want some people's opinions on this. If you were for some reason born into the "wrong" religion, would you be doomed to hell unless you converted to the "right" religion even if you were an upstanding citizen your whole life? Doesn't Jesus forgive? Why are some religions so against the beliefes of others?

I've heard about the Luciferians and how they worship the intellectual side of Satan. Many pagan mythologies also worship beings that would appear to be lesser gods than the one true God of Abraham. Would these lesser gods really just be fallen angels that were kicked out of Heaven?

This last month on the news I saw reports about babies being killed. One was dumped in a toilet, the other burnt to death and one stabbed 26 times. That's only a couple...If something like that could happen to innocent babies, who never did anything to harm anyone, how can I have faith in God and pray for His protection of me and my family? What's the point in praying if something that cruel could happen to you anytime anywhere, regardless of where you (spiritually) stand with God? I know people have free will, but why do innocent people have to pay the price and why didn't God intervene?This has been something I have been struggling with for so long...The idea of having faith in God and believing in His power, but for what? I am not expecting God to pour blessings over me...just to not let something that cruel happen to me or my family. Please don't tell me there's a reason for everything and pain is temporary. That doesn't make the idea of being stabbed 26 times less frightening.

The bible doesn't forbid, only the doctrines of your religious organizations.

Symbolism.

Moses stuck his head in a burning bush and had visions/heard voices.

In the most holy of the tabernacle, they burned "incense" maybe sage or cannabis, and they were filled with "holy spirit", or what might definitely feel like an extra-ordinary, spiritual experience.

And didn't Stephen get stoned outside of Jerusalem? =)

Everything god put on this earth is here for a reason.

There are ways to smoke that are harmless to your body, such as vaporization, which does not produce carcinogens. Of course, a lack of balance is what has become the biggest problem with people smoking these herbs today, along with the fact that it is done for recreational, juvenile, meaningless reasons, instead of spiritual reasons. And anyone who's done it and has a soul can tell you that it can be a spiritual experience. Anyone who has not is ignorant to the fact that experience is the only real teacher and truth.

(Oh yay, I have a cause.)

Seriously, don't you ever watch some of these fundamentalists on television spouting hate in the name of your savior, and get all worked up and angered by it? Or watch the politicians who have equated Christianity with radical right-wing conservatism and twisted it from a faith to a policy? I certainly do.

I think that more of us need to take a stand for our beliefs -- not to say that fundamentalists don't have the right to believe as they should, but to separate ourselves and remind these guys that Jesus preached about love -- not hate, or intolerance, or lobbyism.

Anybody with me?

I was watching the last ever episode of Inspector Morse the other night and in it, just before he dies, Morse goes to a solicitor to write his will.

While there he states that he wants no religious ceremony and that he intends to leave his body to medicine.

Is this the usual course of action for atheists to take or do most of them lose their nerve at the end and have a christian/muslim burial?

Many belief systems have negative connotations that are simply misconceptions based on ignorance. For example atheists to do not worship the devil and Catholics do not worship statues.

What are some misconceptions you would like to clear up about your beliefs?

The EX Daily Word for August 22, 2007

"Somebody is Watching You!"

Col. 3:17 'And whatever you do or say, let it be as a representative of
the
Lord Jesus, all the while giving thanks through him to God the Father.'
NLT

It is a shame when a person that is professing to be a Christian can go
to
work for years and years and no one at their job is ever lead to Christ
by
them. It is a shame how a person can be a Christian and yet live in a
house
for years and years with an unsaved spouse and never lead them to
Christ.
Funny how they can appear so spiritual in church, and yet no one is
ever
affected by them or changed by them. How can you be a Christian and no
one
around you desires your Christ? At that point, you should take a good
look at
yourself and examine your lifestyle. There must be something wrong.
People
don't care how you preach Christ around them, or how you talk about
your church
home to them. They are measuring what you have by your walk. They want
to
know that Christianity is working for you before they decide to try it.
The church is
getting so weak in this area and the world is losing hope in many of
us.

Trying to fit in with the world cost souls. Trying to hang in the club
or
dating unsaved people costs your witness. Your behavior is costing you
many
souls when you don't represent Jesus with your entire lifestyle. You
must
stay in the position to win others to Christ. You must be aware of
people
around you and live according to the word of God in their presence if
you
expect to ever win them to Christ. You can't become like them and
change
them, but you have to show them the best way to live. The way they live
is
not good enough, so don't ever become like them to win them. On your
job,
you must not get close to people that are not living right, but you
must
only get close enough to show them a better way of living. You can't
embrace their lifestyle because that will be approval to them, so you
must
live Christ like in front of them so they will desire what you have.
You
are an example of Christ for the unbeliever or the hypocrite. You
cannot
win them if you operate in sin, unbelief, or hypocrisy yourself!
