Religion & Spirituality - 26 August 2007

Was there something in it that no one is allowed to know or what?
Another thing if you don't believe in the
walking dead, than how can you honestly believe that Christ awoke after he died and got up and was walking around?
It seems like you are a lot like

Death to Followers of Other Religions

Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed. (Exodus 22:19 NAB)



Kill Nonbelievers

They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)

Kill Men, Women, and Children

"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)

I'm so bummed "Big Love" is over for the season! Great Finale!

I just find it interesting to see an inside view of how positive polygamy can be instead of what we hear, such as, older men with underage wives.

I know that Mormons don't practice Polygamy but there are a few that do...I just want your take on it. Are there any Mormons who have watched it? And if so, do you like it? why or why not?

I'm discussing a Drama Series and would like feedback and opinions on that and only that.

Are there three Spirits in a Christian's heart? Father, Jesus, and the Spirit all dwell within a Christian (John 14:17, 23; Romans 8:9; Ephesians 3:14-17). Yet there is one Spirit (I Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 4:4).

Islam itself says to leave apostates alone, so why does the "shariah" in many "islamic" countries state otherwise? Killing people who leave Islam is not allowed. And the Top Cleric of Muslims has stated the same. What is your opinion of this?

"One of Egypt's most senior Muslim clerics has raised controversy by saying there is no worldly retribution for Muslims who abandon their religion, prompting an outcry from conservatives insisting Islamic law requires such apostates be killed.

The editorial in The Washington Post came from Egypt's Grand Mufti, Ali Gomaa, who is the highest official authority for issuing fatwas, or religious edicts.

"The essential question before us is can a person who is Muslim choose a religion other than Islam? The answer is yes, they can, because the Quran says, 'Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion,'" he wrote, citing from Islam's holy book."

Because honestly, I just don't understand it when people say "God created Adam & Eve perfect" and then in the very same breath insist that "Adam & Eve chose to sin and cause the fall of man".

What kind of PERFECT creation sins like that? What is meant by "perfect" if that definition doesn't include the ability to follow simple instructions despite suggestions to the contrary?

You guys don't take the words of the bible completely literally, like the earth being 6,000 yo and stories ect. Well, my question is: Why not? why do you take the story of jesus and the idea of God and Heaven and Hell literally, but not the others? What is the difference between them?

If you are a Muslim and you do this, shame on you, and you are sinning majorly. What do you think of what this has to say?

"Noble Verses 4:34-36 "(34). Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).

The Arabic word used in Noble Verse 4:34 above is "idribuhunna", which is derived from "daraba" which means "beat". The issue with all of the Arabic words that are derived from the word "daraba" is that they don't necessarily mean "hit".

With lucky rabbit feet? So, why do we not all have lucky rabbit feet with us all the time? Would it not be safer to have a rabbits foot with you all the time just to be safe? I mean, you have nothing to loose by keeping it with you all the time and looking like a moron. Behold, the power of the rabbits severed limbs!

If God said music was sin, you would want to know why before you stop listening to music right? You would expect a justifiable reason for outlawing music right?

similarly, what is Gods justification for condemning homosexuality?
****__why__**** is it wrong according to God?

First of all, let me say that I am not Pastor, Prophet, or Priest, but I do believe that the church right now is under a spiritual attack. I have been looking at the situations that have been coming up in the recent week and I am ashamed of what we as believers have allowed to happen. I'm not perfect, but I think that as the Body of Christ we need to come together and fast and pray. I don't care what denomination you are or what your religious background is. I'm just asking if we can just come together and agree on this one thing. If you don't believe in God or if what I have written is not for you it is not for you to respond or take offense. If you would just agree with me I would appreciate it and I'm sure God would too. One body, one mind, one spirit. Father, son, and holy ghost.

Ok, this is a remake of an abortion question from a little while ago. This time about something else.

Ok, there is a burning building or its about to collapse or whatever. On one side of the building is your child (lets say you only have one or only one of your children are in the building). On the other side, there is a room with 3 children from stranger's families. You only have time to rescue one (lets say no one but you is at the scene).

Do you save your one child or save 3 childen from strangers?


Me: I would not even hesitate or feel guilty about it, my kids first, absolutely.

In the past Christians used black men as slaves, and to no suprise....none other than thier precious bible told them they were entitled to enslave others (back then, the poor black men were victimized).

In the present, slavery is cleary unacceptable...and even Christians can't justify it. Somehow Christians try to ignore their dirty past...they say, "We Christians are not the same as those Christians back then...blah blah blah...."...ok, we'll let them slip...but wait!

Now a days, Christians are condemning homosexuals...and how do they justify their judgemental minds?....TADA! Through their precious "bible" yet again!

Maybe a hundred or so years from now when someone asks them why they were so judgemental against homosexuals they'll say, "Well, we're not like those Christians back then"

I advise you Christians to start editing(something you're really good at) the "homosexuals will be called least in heaven" part before it gets out of hand!

If there was something wrong with the clay, shouldn't he have checked first to make sure he was using quality material?

If there was something wrong with the integrity of the structure, shouldn't he have caught that before he was done?

And if not, then I'm sure we can all agree that he's an inept or at least an imperfect craftsman, yes?
