Religion & Spirituality - 26 August 2007

If we believe the Genesis account, then we can take it two ways:

Life was created in 6 (24 hour) days, which goes against science

Or that life was created in 6 erra's, which does not directly go against science.

The Day-Age Theory seems to have some merit, afterall there was no Hebrew word to describe an erra or time span...other than day (yôma). For example, the (Hebrew) scriptures reffered to "Gods day" (using the same Hebrew word 'yôma' for a different meaning). This was not a litiral 24 hour peroid, but a peroid of time. Therefore, the Hebrew word day (yôma), needs to be translated into the right english word according to the context.

Serious answers only!!!

He gave us dominion and let us inhabit the earth and WE are the ones to blame for the way things have turned out!!! WE are the ones to blame for the countless messes and mishaps of this world. God cries because of the manner in which we have ran things. It is a shame that you blame God, the one that loves us so much and the one who sent His only Son to Die on the cross to pay the price IN FULL for the Sins of the ENTIRE world. We as humans should be ashamed of what we have done to this once beautiful world we USED to live in. You amongst others need to look in the mirror if you're going to point fingers at someone to blame for the problems of this world. God didn't want it to be the way it is, but WE allowed it to happen.... not HIM!!

I'm just popping in to say I miss you guys, and it is downright depressing what is happening here in Greece. Luckily I'm on the islands, but still, it dampers my vacation, and I'm thinking of cutting it short and returning home to R&S. What say you?

IF you are why? Do you realy a think a religon would teach something bad? i have read peole posting that teaches muslims to kill non-muslims. do you believe in that? do you think to much attention is given to the bad things done by islam? i mean if a religon would teach something like that, that means there are 2.5 million people who are evil.

she's iranian and i'm asian so we had some differeces bordering on racial.Our incidents were fairly harsh,but anyway,she continues to push to get my attention,gazes at me at times,and will try to be near me on some instances.All i know is that i apoligized for my behavior(with the way i treated her as a woman)and she said no worries and accerpted,but why is she acting the way she's acting?I kep thinking of her as a backstabbing muslim,because of our previousincidents.

In Christianity it's a garden where you frollic about...wow how original. In Islam it's pretty much the same thing except some Muslims NOT ALL believe you'll get 70 virgins or something of the sort.

Yet Hinduism has this neat idea of Nirvana and total oneness with the universe. Now that has pizazz!

How will Christians explain to their ancestors their having abandoned the tribal gods and folkways?

Shouldn't indigenous religions that succeeded for 30K years be seen as superior to foreign ones that have been absolute disasters for the single millennium or so they've been adopted?

What would happen if we looked at a muslim terrorist as a child of God? What would happen if we looked at an atheist not as a rebellious hard headed jerk but as a child of God? The world would be a much better place. people we need to be living our faith and not sending hate mails to non- believers. what is that doing for us? nothing. it's making the Christian faith look bad.

I (foolishly) asked my 22 year old son if I irritated him - not surprisingly, he said, yes. Always nagging him to do this, or that, and interrupting the football match to speak to him, sort of thing. Being a glutton for punishment, I then asked how he rated me as a mother - 1 being abyssmal and 10 being perfect. He gave me 9 (on the basis that no-one is perfect). Wow!

So I invite you to 'fess up' and admit the things you do that irritate your children. It's an extremely theraputic exercise - you'll feel much better afterwards, honest! Oh, and then ask them how they rate you. Go on, live dangerously!

Just thought I'd ask this question for fun ^^

I know that the the real exorcism is the only one we have but I know some people who wish it were different just for the fun of it.

Personally, I sometimes wish it were a bit more like hunting real demons, monsters, and vampires (evil ones). You know, with guns loaded with silver bullets?

How about you?

Feel free to have fun and lighten up here! =3

I was always taught (by protestants mind you) that a Christian is someone that accepts Jesus Christ as their savior and as God.

Now some of you are telling me that is true but if you kiss rings, ask holy persons to pray for you or believe in an area between heaven and hell it over rides that fact that you believe Jesus is God and He is salvation... right?

I read that god gave women to the angels because the angels found them to be beautiful. Is there any biblical evidence to support this?

Why is it NOT a terrific "gotcha" game to demand faith rather than supply sufficient proof?

In what other area of life are we required to function without our reasoning faculties fully engaged.

If a God were to exist in this way, why would it NOT be evidence of a sadistic, bullying joke?
