Religion & Spirituality - 28 August 2007

2One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. 4Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

Why do religions spend so much time pointing fingers at others, and telling others what sinners/bad people they are...doesn't this passage tell us specifically, not to judge other religions?


Your thoughts?

hypothetically, if all gay men became straight tomorrow, would you really want the extra competition?

Especially since gay men tend to be more sensitive and better dressed. Just saying

Those of you who do want to tell people about Jesus must do it as Jesus him self would. We don't like religion, WE don't like to be bound in our believes we want to be free and enjoy the company of the Lord. Your relationship with Jesus should be personal. Walk with God Talk with God and he will hep you in the right direction. Yes we do want to see all accept him but we can not force, our job is to put the word out their for all to see. Good luck with your walk with our Lord!

Those of you who don't believe, thanks for reading I hope it helps you ! We do all want you to love our Lord like we do. God loves us more than any love we have ever encountered. He sent his Son to perish and die for us, and watched him as his blood flowed through his body to wash us of our sins.

as religion is a true test of faith it would be true to say that people who believe in religion believe with their whole heart.
As there are so many religions and this is such a multi cultural world now, is it wise to teach different religion to people who already believe with their heart that theirs is the right religion.Is teaching mixed religions to different cultures in one class not going to conflict in any way?

Saturday I was dreaming that I was in my PC in R&S (like always). It was that I had a best answer from a Jack B. question about himself and then I went to the sipermarket with my mom. When I was there I saw Nijg (he worked there) and I was asking him where the bathroom was and he was telling me. Then Run James Run (or James-hova...) came (he worked there too) and Nijg told him "That's her!!!!!!!" and lots of the supermarket lights went off and it seemed that 1/2 of the supermarket was empty. RJR started to run after me wanting to kill me and I was running as fast as I could and I could and asking Nijg for help but he was just staring. I kept running and then some other users whom I could not identify but I "knew" that they were R&S regulars came and standed as a crowd at the end of the supermarket hallway and James dissapeared and lights turned on again and I woke up.

Weird that I knew who Nijg and RJR were because I've never seen their faces.

science is but one form of rationalism
while religion is the most common form of superstition.

The Christian churches have been the victim of an ancient Zionist trick of magic. The Jewish magi encouraged the priests of the Caesarian cult to place a X or + on their temples to warn Jews to avoid them. The magic is working. Jews avoid Christian churches. Not everyone and not everyday but in the long run it works.

I got baptized when I was 8 years old. I don't like it. It still makes me feel creepy sometimes to know I underwent this ritual.

I'm a young hetrosexual virgin woman in my early 20's in a relationship with two bisexual men also in their early 20's who absolutely love me. I don't understand how anyone could disapprove of our relationship especially my friends and family. We all plan on getting married, I'll marry one of them while the other one will still be living with us so that it's still "legal". I've always had a problem with hetrosexual men since they have their insecurities and are lying unfaithful dogs. I find that bisexual men treat women a whole lot better and loves them much more. My boyfriends only look at me and not at other women since they find them all so "ugly". These are two successful and sexy men who treat me like their precious treasure. They don't have a problem with my modeling unlike my previous hetrosexual boyfriend. I can't wait for us to move in together and start a family. I plan on them taking my virginity and having each of their children since I love them and they love me.

Remember, no modern tools, and no army of construction workers. You even have to harvest your own lumber because you're not rich enough to buy that much.

I have read many questions and answers on R/S about people who are completely disillusioned about Christianity in particular, as well as Religion as a whole. They decide to call themselves Atheists. But they are uncomfortable with that, due to unresolved guilt and anxiety about sin. What is a smoother, slower transition for our fellow Humans to make?

12God will bless you, if you don't give up when your faith is being tested. He will reward you with a glorious life, [b] just as he rewards everyone who loves him. 13Don't blame God when you are tempted! God cannot be tempted by evil, and he doesn't use evil to tempt others. 14We are tempted by our own desires that drag us off and trap us. 15Our desires make us sin, and when sin is finished with us, it leaves us dead.

Now, Where does Satan come in?

If an all powerful Diety were revealed to you, wouldn't you be so humbled by the sheer enormity of it? You'd be speechless! Your own smallness and ignorance would become so glaringly evident. You would feel so grateful just to have found it and feel so much joy, so much overwhelming awe, that in of itself would be its own reward.

Coastal researchers and oceanographers spend a lifetime on a beach and still never fully grasp it. People who lived for generations on the calm coasts of South East Asia were surprised by a tsunami. I imagine God, is infinitely more vast, unpredictable and complex than a beach. I would think, you could spend a LIFETIME of spiritual soul searching and developing your relationship with God and still not even scratch the tip of of the iceberg. Yet some in R&S who claim to have found God speak like they already defined God entirely and can now predict God’s every mood, action and opinion about everyone and everything.

What inspires such arrogance?
