Religion & Spirituality - 27 August 2007

I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is.

What about you?

I really like this show, and I think it is very funny... Some people say that if I was "really" a "true Christian" I wouldn't be entertained by this type of show. But I think it is funny... So am I really wrong? (I don't think it is any worse than watching The Disney Channel w/ all those 13yr olds making out and stuff)
I do not think that it is "sinful" in anyway b/c it doesn't cause me to struggle or anything like that, it only makes me laugh... And I don't think that it is promoting homosexuality either, it doesnt have a runner at the bottom saying "BE GAY, BE GAY, BE GAY..." B/c it's not all about Will, Grace is not gay. "Will & Grace" Do you think it is wrong? If so, why? (Please explain.)

Why do the heathen rage,and the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His anoited, saying,
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the Heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Psalms 2:1-41

The Holy Scriptures identify Christ as the focal point of Creation. "He(Christ) spoke, and it was done; he commanded and it stood fast". Psalm 33:9.

"By him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth......All things were created through him and for him". Colossians 1:16.

Our Lord has existed from eternity. He was with God the Father in the "unbegun beginning". He is the righteous Son of God, the embodiment of the Father, the only begotten, the great I AM, to whom angels owe their creation and for which they give him glory and joyful service.

We humans also praise his creative power.

We praise his creatorship because its dynamics elude our understanding, because its manifestations stagger our imagination and delight our senses.

When we behold the stars, the moon, the work of his hands, we cry out with David, "O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! (Psalm 8:1).

Your thoughts...................

...and it condemns the charging of interest. How many gay bashers own a credit card, or have a car loan, or a mortgage?

if the bible is truly the "word of God", then why oh why is it filled with so many inconsistencies? i'm only paraphrasing here, but in genesis, the first few lines talk about how the earth is flat, the water is in the sky and the earth is covered by a dome. science has PROVEN these false. if the bible were truly the word of God, then He would have "written" it correctly. And don't say "he told" whomever to write it that why. Why on Earth would God want to spread false words to have people believe them to be true?

If 'respect' is the right word.

Fundies who are just batsh*t crazy, or 'moderates'; those hypocrites who cherry-pick the bible for passages they like to justify their belief in a fairy tale and bigotry, and disregard the passages that restrict their lifestyles?

At least the fundies are honest.

For all those who don't know their history there once lived a women named Madalyn Murray O'Hair who was the founder of American Atheist. This women had very strong beliefs against God and the church. One of her famous quote was:
"There is no God. There's no heaven. There's no hell. There are no angels. When you die, you go in the ground, the worms eat you." This women is responsible for not allowing prayers in the school system.
Madalyn Murray O'Hair and her family was later killed by a fellow atheist that once worked for her. She and her family had been tortured and bodies dumped like trash.

Do you believe that this was the raft of God for her many years of atheist or just being in a bad situation?

What is your a personal reflection about people who mocked God?

Is it basically a guide to living? I was raised a catholic but it was forced down my throat so I rejected all notions of God, Jesus etc as soon as hit 18. But now that im a bit older I dont know what to believe. I tried to read the Bible before but it was written in this hard to read dialect which was well......hard to read. Is there a book that you can get which explains the Bible in a more easy to understand language, y'know like those notes you'd get in school to explain what the hell the great Gatsby was all about?

As some of you know I have recently started asking a lot of questions about religion and God. I have not gotten very satisfactory answers from the believers. It is hard not to side with the atheists on almost every question for me lately. This is a very scary feeling. Was it hard for you to realize you didn't believe?

Ok follow the logic on this one.

Trinity = Father, Son, and Holy spirit. = One God.

Jews believe that "The lord your God is one" or One God.

Christians believe in the God of Abraham as do the Jews.

Christians by definition of the Trinity, believe that Christ is God, as is the Father and Holy spirit which equate to One God.

IF this is true, and most Christians believe in the Trinity, then Jews, by believing in God, Believe in Jesus Christ to CHRISTIANS.

Think about it. If the Christian God is Triune and involves the son being God himself and the Christian God is the same as Judaism (to Christians) then Jews to Christians believe in Jesus Christ through the trinity.

Jews = Belief in one God.
Christians = Belief in one God that came from Judaism that consists of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

So to Christians, Jews should be Christians under the Trinity, because their belief in God is the Christian God which is triune = Belief in Christ.

What do you think?

A marvellous quote I stumbled across today relates to alot of narrow minded people on here who constantly think they are right and do not tolerate others views.

"If you truly love some one, you cannot judge them"

Now are you going to stuff it down my throat?

But what if his body had fully decomposed say over a year? And he was resurrected after a year instead of 3 days, would he still have had those scars on him?

And if you say no that God granted him the foresight or wisdom to do it, is it only because the bible says so?
Why do you say that psychics are evil? When foretelling the future was glorified in the bible when Joseph listened to God?
Who is to judge that Psychics of today dont listen to that same voice?

different theory

2007-08-27 03:11:19 · 27 answers · asked by sonataelantra 1

If there is a god, he should already know why I don't believe. He should be able to see inside my mind, and inside my heart, and see that I'm not a bad guy at all. I'm just a simple human being who sees millions of other simple human beings all telling a different story. None of them can agree on anything, and none of them can give me any solid reason to believe their story is more valid than anyone else's story.

God would already understand this, wouldn't he? And if he were a loving god, he wouldn't hold it against me for doing the best I could with what I had.

It's you, the simple human being, who doesn't understand me. It's you who asks me to explain myself, not god. And so I have explained myself, right now, in the best way I could, and if you still don't understand me, there's nothing more I can say about that.
