Religion & Spirituality - 2 September 2007

I see that most if not all of the faithful people on here genuinely and sincerely want to help you,though be it by ineffective means sometimes.Can any of you say the same?Do you want to help them? Do you want to turn them away from God? Do you think anyone that has gone to all the trouble of finding God would turn their back on Him? If you're not here to help then why be here at all,to hinder? Its good to seek though by all means stick around.Ye may just find.

"when the son of man (Jesus pbuh referring to himself) shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye (the disciples) also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel" (Matthew 19: 28).
Only 12 tribes of Israel?
As Bible tells us that Jesus was sent for the people of Israel, though I know people would say that He claimed that I m the way to Father, and Salvation. But He was only talking to the people o Israel.He never said that I m the way to salvation for the whole of humanity.So I wonder what Christian faces be like If Jesus in his 2nd comming says this to the christians other than those of the Israel.

Reff: Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
(Mathew 7:22-23)

It does not make sense for all years its been Sunday, I mean Saturday Evening is considered the "Vigil" mass and Sunday is considered the "liturgy" And people are saying Sunday is the beginning of the week, which i think is false - there is no eight day which everyone is saying. The church is always saying its Sunday, same with catechists. Priests even say it. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

dependent on what happens to the Jews, even though they don't believe in the divinity of Jesus? And since the followers of each of these religions can't both get salvation do to this difference, doesn't it seem that there is something wrong in this alliance?So who is using who in this relationship?

You say I am not Jewish because i believe in Jesus. Thats so rediculous. That is like saying " if you believe in Jesus as an african then believing in Him makes you no longer African ". What kind of logic is that ? Im Jewish and believing in Jesus makes me a completed Jewess. P.S. Im not a Messianic either...I just believe in and accept Him as my Messiah. Isaiah 53 and Isaiah 9.

Let's suppose they DID preach the Gospel in Afganistan. Then, it seems that they did the right thing according to the Bible, because the Lord Himself commended His followers to spread the word of the Gospel. But later the situation turned sour - they were taken hostages. It seems that if they had been killed by Talibans, they would've become martyrs, which is a kind of correct thing according to the Bible, but the Government of their country began negotiating with Talibans about their release and finally they got released.
Now, let's suppose that the Government DID pay a huge ransom to the Talibans - well, even without that a huge some of money WAS spent on their release anyway. Finally, they are coming back home and the whole country, including the Government, are angry at them. One could say at this point that in this way they are suffering for the spreading of the Gospel - bearing the reproach and being mocked and accused by this world, which is also a

Let's say this being just created us just to create us and hasn't applied any rules. I say this because religion has too many twists and turns and conspiracies but I can not believe there is nothing up there that made all of this.

Alright my girlfriend practices New Age - She's a white witch. Why won't my mom allow her to stay in her house when we visit her? I really don't understand. She wants me to break up with her and date any girl from any other religion but not a new age girl. She keeps on telling me I am mixing with demons? Do they really use magic and use spells that work? Are new age girls really bad news?

Why won't Jehovah's witnesses be a little bit friendly to people that practice new age?

Dear Buddhist Brothers,

please read this:
Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1 Chp3 TEXT 24

TEXT

tatah kalau sampravrtte
sammohaya sura-dvisam
buddho namnanjana-sutah
kikatesu bhavisyati

SYNONYMS

tatah--thereafter; kalau--the age of Kali; sampravrtte--having ensued; sammohaya--for the purpose of deluding; sura--the theists; dvisam--those who are envious; buddhah--Lord Buddha; namna--of the name; anjana-sutah--whose mother was Anjana; kikatesu--in the province of Gaya (Bihar); bhavisyati--will take place.

TRANSLATION

Then, in the beginning of Kali-yuga, the Lord will appear as Lord Buddha, the son of Anjana, in the province of Gaya, just for the purpose of deluding those who are envious of the faithful theist.

This is clear unequivocal corroboration that Buddha was an incarnation of the Hindu GOD Vishnu and that Buddha is a pathway to the divine almighty.

So why do so many Buddhists refute the Hindu claim that Buddha was an incarnation of Vishnu???

Isn't worshiping Jesus a false idol since he was made of flesh? I know he represented God but he was just a vessel as anyone else.

about Religion, but then you pick a answer that totaly does not answer the question?

I have found this to be true on alot of questions, and was wondering, when asking a question, do you

1. Pick the answer that best answers your question {gain more knowledge}

or

2. Do you pick a answer that best describes how you feel, whether it is condeming or uplifting you feelings {that they agree with your views}

Thank You for taking the time to answer\
peace and blessings

Matthew Chapter 11

At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

it has nothing to do with homosexuality. If you look up Ezekial 16: 46-49 it tells you that the sin of Sodom was pride.

Why do you chose to ignore the verse in Ezekial? Do you do this just to condemn homosexuals?

Also until 1958 the word homosexual never was seen in the bible - as a matter of fact the words that were translated from Greek and Latin to mean homosexual are actually translated "effeminate male prostitute" and "those who do business with ..." ... so actually you are condemning those who are male prostitutes straight or gay ...

And this also means that in the original scriptures homosexuality wasn't really condemned in the bible.

I guess outside of all this information you will still come up with arguments to condemn everyone so I will close with one more reference to Romans 2.

Christians should concentrate on what the Bible is really about and not what they as humans interpret its scriptures as meaning.

And the trees are not poisonous. One tree is the tree of wisdom. And the other tree is of eternal life. Both trees are the best in the whole garden of Eden. God should have told Adam, "Don't miss these two trees! Anything else you can miss, but these two trees you should not miss." On the contrary, He says to Adam and Eve, "Don't do this." Why?

I have been asking this question for years - never have I received an answer that makes sense let alone be seen as adequate in a court of law cos y'all duck down behind scriptural bullshit.

Tell me (and all my girls - Frank Zappa - Mudshark), tell me and all my girls, why was I lucky enough to have been born with intelligence, in affluence, given every opportunity in a xian Kultcha to hear the word of 'god' and the poor native in the New Guinea Highlands (or the native in central Oz or the native born into absolute starvation in Darfur) were given NONE of the same advantages BUT 'god' still expects them to perform as I; 'he' expects us all to come to him willingly no matter what the obstacles and ONLY ONE LIFETIME TO DO IT IN.
My question?
Why was I born so lucky to have had all the opportunities handed to me on a platter?

They can't answer that cos their religion is a sham and their philosophy is sentimental at best and cruelly deficient at worst.
Although interesting answers will be good I just know I’m gonna get some fundie one-liners that make absolutely no sense.
