In our church today the Spirit of the Lord was very much present, His love for us, His children, was very evident as we worshipped in music and preaching of the Word, in taking of Holy Communion. Do you experience this also? Our organist is battling cancer and I wonder if anyone would pray for his healing? Best wishes to all of you this Lord's Day.

I, for one, am sick to DEATH with the "invisible return" concept.

I don't want to hear all that bunk about seeing Him with "Eyes of faith" either. Because, for one, there is no Scriptural basis for spiritualizing the concept--no mention ANYWHERE in Scripture about "eyes of faith". And, two, how could the nation of Israel ("those who pierced Him"), who don't yet believe He is the Messiah, see Him with eyes of faith, when they have NO FAITH--and no clue--that He is the one they are supposed to be looking for???

The explanation is just stupid, stupid, STUPID!!!! If I hear it one more time, I'm gonna hurl!

for G-D said "Let there be light " first day. Jesus said that you don't hide the light under a basket and also said they would rather worshipped the creation more than their creator meaning him self. he also said that he is the true light of this world.

Surely a direct relationship with God and or Christ is more important than the Bible. Surley it is possible to have that relationship in the absence of the Bible, remembering that many have claimed such a relationship who have not known the Bible eg the Saints of Medievel europe who were often illiterate pesants at a time when the Bible was in Latin.

Is it anything? I don't see you asking each other "hey fellow atheist prove to me there is no God" or "what haven't you found lately".All many of you do is bash the faithful and leave it to them to do all the proving.The believers at least are asking each other intelligent questions that they actually want the answers to.The truth,maybe you just can't handle the truth.

It's time to reconsider the basics.
For the purpose of this question I only ask that you answer based on the notion that the Kingdom of God exist. I don’t specify this to disrespect any group. The Kingdom of God could also be considered by any other descriptions that match the experience.

Thank you for your thoughtful answers.

He knew it and studied it and often quoted from it! If he read and knew the OT, then why is it that some Christians feel that it can be discarded? Is it not important to know and also learn from it? I do not think any part of the Bible should be diminished by God fearing people! What say you? Please keep your comments respectful....even if you disagree!

I have benefited from believing in a generic "higher power" even while at church.It makes my life better & easier.I seem to ignore the specifics of religion but I still feel a spiritual life is a benefit.

A Mormon in the neighborhood saw me replacing a shingle roof and doing other home repairs. Then he said he didn't think I was a "real woman."
His wife never does any work outside. She doesn't even help him shovel when there is a heavy snowfall.
Are Mormon women too intimidated to do certain kinds of work for fear of being maligned?

Do you think that P&S people are allowed to answer R&S questions that are not related to Religion? Sometimes I would like to join in, but I feel I don't really belong here, so I feel shy....

but you seem nice people... Are we in competition? Like P&S vs R&S? I hope not!

Or maybe three?

I've been listening to the church folks, and I have to agree: one big bang is not enough.

As for god himself, who's to say he too was not created by a larger more formidable god?

(Yes, that's where I differ with the church folks, but they may yet come around to this other way of thinking.)

I've even heard the suggestion that the bigger god may also have been created by a still bigger and still more formidable god.

This is all very exciting !
What say you, kind people of the Yahoo Answers?

I am growing weary of protestants calling my Church and my Pope "antichrist" every time I post a real, thoughtful question. Here are a couple of quotes for you:

1 John 2:22 - Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.

1 John 4:3 - and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

Now, you may not agree with the Pope on doctrine, but He preaches Christ, and he does NOT "...deny that Jesus is the Christ", as it says in 1 John 2:22. So, for all you people who tell this Catholic to read his Bible, I say read YOUR Bible, and stop being an ignorant bigot. You want to find an antichrist? Find someone who REJECTS Christ!

And if so - do you believe that Love is powerful?

My Spiritual beliefs are quite simple. I believe that God is Love. The Power of Love. We can tap into It and use It to make our lives better. If God is the way I see It - would it be safe to say that you believe in God? Why? Why not?

Just for the record - I don't believe in sin or hell. I'm not sure about an afterlife.

Thanks for your input.

Namaste!

If you set your mind to it, could you find a feasable argument?
Alot of atheists have been raised to know about how fossils and things developed, but the cambrian explosion is near enough to the bible's version, and the big bang is arguable as an act of god surely? after all, who came up with the laws of the universe?
I think the main reason this stuff is so difficult to believe is the people who argue it seem to not have all the facts, in fact dismiss scientific findings as 'jiggerypokery' (in fact an argument I heard was if your 'science' is so correct, then why is it's theories constantly changing?') and even do the atheist cause alot of good every time they type their insane ravings in.

Muslim countries today adhere to a strict interpretation of Islam. Sometimes this gives rise to extremism and terrorism enforcing a literal interpretation of the Koran. The Muslim world today is largely controlled by religious authorities forbidding freethinking, open dialogue and questioning, much like Europe during the Dark Ages under the Catholic popes who persecuted people for disagreeing with them. In the 1500s, Christian Europe underwent a radical transformation where people like Luther and Calvin started questioning key Catholic doctrines and encouraged freethinking and made the Bible accessible to all people. They also got rid of several restrictions of the church, like celibacy and indulgences. In doing so they helped to free Christianity from religious tyranny.
Do u think it's time the Muslim world gets liberalised? Do u think there should be a 'Reformation' of Islam?
A liberal Muslim world = less opportunities for extremist terrorists who give Islam a bad name!

“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat:
and it was so." Genesis 1:29-30

"The early Christian fathers adhered to a meatless regime...many early Christian groups supported the meatless way of life.

In fact, the writings of the early Church indicate that meat eating was not officially allowed until the 4th century, when the Emperor Constantine decided that his version of Christianity would be the version for everyone.

A meat eating interpretation of the Bible became the official creed of the Roman Empire, and vegetarian Christians had to practice in secret or risk being put to death for heresy.

Pagan Rome has such an influence upon Christianity.

I mean come on, God how do you know he's real? You've never seen him, there is no proof of him. I mean how can you blindly believe in something that is most likley false? It's brainwashing. Since you were little someone told you these lies, and they're drilled into your head.

I feel sorry for you, man, really. Because when the time comes when you realize you're all alone in this world and there will be no God or Jesus to help you, you'll learn you wasted your life on false idols.
