Religion & Spirituality - 8 September 2007

I purchased another DVD recently called "Barrabas", starring Anthony Quinn as Barrabas. Has anybody seen that one? I thought it was pretty good.

.... seem to be so knowledgeable about evolution yet they do not understand or believe it? I can accept that certain ignorant, superstitious people would deny evolution but what about the educated people? It is all so confusing

This is a comment I hear from many Christians. They tell me that it takes faith, and some even say it takes more faith, not believe in God. If I understand correctly, you people are arguing that it takes faith to no believe in something you have never seen or cannot prove exists. So let me ask you this Christians. Would it be correct to say that the reason I deny the existence of Goblins, Gremlins, Trolls, Big Foot, Santa Clause, Unicorns, Vampires, The Loch Ness monster, and Harry Potter is because I am faithful????

Honestly I read a lot here and hardly ever post anything (check my history) I did ask a few questions about my fish tank (blasted thing) but almost never on anything else. But I do come here and read stuff.

Do you think by being mean and condescending to non believers you’re helping things?

I read what some of you people write in here and I am shocked this comes from saved people. I wonder how much of this comes from non believers just pretending.

If you have that much hate in your heart, that the mindless words of a faceless person can invoke such venom, I wonder if there is any room for Christ in there.

I don’t understand how if protected by the grace of our savior, and if you’re working in every way to bring praise upon him how such vile things can come from your thoughts.

I do not pray for those I read here who do not believe in our lord, that is not MY fight. I do however find myself praying for those speaking of and for my savior.

How in your words , from your point of view , does the platypus prove your stance on creation or evolution? Please choose the one you believe in to write on. If you believe in both then explain how the platypus is proof of that belief.

Please no flames. This is only meant to be a mental exercise.

Just wondering, are we toys in his little game? You know, just keep putting every obsticle on earth in front of a person, expect them to be Patient, and be thankful while you're crying tears of blood... and every second you pray to him things just get worst?

I was just wondering if anyone can explain to me the concept of.. he tests people he loves. So, he must "love" me a lot. I am done with praying, done with asking for forgiveness. I have lost everything and have been patient through everything, this was the last straw. Does someone who is just punish you for no reason? Does he make promises of hell just b/c you lose patience in his own cruel test?... Why the hell give us emotions and a heart? Make us F'n robots.

I am seriously considering leaving Islam, leaving religion and leaving this world.

I am DONE

I realise that a big part of my difficulties lie in un-confessed sins.

I confess them to God, but I don't feel any better,

My sin is that of lieing. I'm a compulsive liar, its what I do, its my greatest set-back.

I lie to be given attention, to be given compassion. I will not lie any more, but how to I feel better about the lies I have already made?

I need guidance!

…as a religious leader, god, or demigod, be practicing his religion i.e. Judaism?

I don’t think there would be much opposition to the statement that Jesus was a devoutly religious Jew.
Even the Christian gospels indicate this clearly. He was called a rabbi (Judaic religious teacher). He was very knowledgeable of the Judaic religious texts. He followed the Torah and observed religious feasts like Passover (the last supper was a Passover feast). In the last days of his life he drove the moneychangers from the temple because he felt they were defiling this holiest of Judaic sites. He regarded himself and was regarded by others as a Judaic prophet.

So why do Christians, the self-professed followers of Jesus, follow a different, religion (or group of religions) to Jesus? Why do they have Popes, heretics, saint, monks, nuns, George and the dragon, Santa Claus, crusades, televangelists, Christmas trees, the trinity, virgin births, purgatory, etc; all the trappings of Christianity that have nothing to do with Judaism or Jesus’s beliefs?
In the time of Jesus there was diversity in Judaism, there were, for example, Sadducees, Pharisees, Essenes, and Zealots. After his death there were also 2 (at least) varieties of Judaism that were started by Jesus’s family and disciples, based on Jesus’s teachings Ebonites and Nazarenes. However all these groups were Judaic in their theology and religious practices, and certainly did not resemble at all Christian theology or practices.

is why some churches don't allow women to wear jeans! Yeah I've heard the verse in dueteronomy, but that was then, in the OT. If Jesus was here now, would he really care about our clothes? As long as they aren't revealing!

I wear jeans all the time (and yes, I wear them to church) and I would feel totally weird wearing a skirt.

(I got all fired up about this cuz a girl I know that told me that wearing jeans isn't right cuz I'm a girl.)

Marsupials to Australia, New World monkeys to South America, Old World monkeys to Africa and Asia, etc.

In particular, why do island habitats such as New Zealand, New Guinea, and the Galapagos have many unique species of some Orders of animals, and none of other Orders. For example, the finches of the Galapagos, which fill the ecological niches held by other types of bird in other places? The evolutionary answer is that a couple of finches made it to the Galapagos and then evolved into many different species of finch, but what's the Biblical answer?
