Religion & Spirituality - 9 September 2007

I am told to read the bible and become more sure in my faith. And I am told that the bible is the true inerrant word of God. I have been reading Leviticus and am troubled by how I can relate what I see in the world around me - i.e. that insects I have seen have six legs and use all of them to walk yet the bible say they walk on four.

Leviticus 11:20
'All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be detestable to you.

I've been living in a world of inconsistencies up until now.
The word has never occurred in my family.
It affects my personality today.
I'm jealous of people who are consistent and forever organized.
I believe only those who are consistent will succeed in their life.

I'd like to be one of them, but, so far, I fail to do that.
It may sounds to be a lame excuse, but, things keep happening around me and often beyond my control.

Please tell me, what is the best way to fulfill my hope?

John 3:3-7 "Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God....Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter tnto the kingdom of God.....Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."

Wouldn't this be a good time for Jesus to mention to Nicodemus about the Earthly class? Has Jesus missed something Important, or has the WBTS given us a false doctrine again?

would he intervene in positive ways, wouldn't that also interfere with free will? Why the double standard?

When you say God doesn't prevent things from happening, (natural disasters, disease, etc) because you say we have free will, but then you say "Look! God gave me what I prayed for!" how is that not a double standard?

These are my own true experiences:

1. At that time I was living in a hostel. A religious man (not Christian) with two men knocked on my door. I had never seen them before. When I opened the door he started saying things that sounded interesting. So I let them in. He said that he knew that I was involved with a girl and asked me to go away from him to the corner of the room and write her name on a piece of paper, fold it and keep it. Then he wrote the name in another piece of paper and showed me. Later, a friend of mine told me they had been to her room too and the man wrote her boyfriend's name exactly which happened to be very long and complicated. How did he get the names?

2. Five years prior to this I had an encounter with another man. Just out of curiosity I agreed to do what he said. He put a small stone in my hand and asked me to close it. Then he carried out some movements with his 'magic stick' and asked me to open my hand. Lo and behold, the stone was replaced by a currency note neatly folded in my hand.

Let me have some answers and then I will give my comments. Thanks.

I am wanting to learn all I can about Wicca, but cannot find any teachers. What are some good books for the solitary practioner? I have hear Scott cunningham is good, but forgot the name of his book.

I am an adult by the way way over 21. I say this because I understand some will not help minors and I agree with this.

There are parts in the bible I question. Like this one. Is it me or is this degarding to women?

"Husbands, love your wives, JUST AS Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church - for we are members of his body. 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." Ephesians 5:25-33

You, a personality, unifies as one your: mind, soul, spirit, body.
List these four vital components of you as #1 #2 #3 #4 highest to lowest reality. Explain why and how they are different. Your personal God-conscious experiences are preferred over second-hand scriptures of old men who were not very much comprehending of supernal Theo-ontological Realities. Of course Jesus' Eternal Living Words are The Truth -- then partly recorded and now He is here ! Peruse John 16:7-16

According to my research on Christianity, the sexual offender will go to Heaven.

What confuses me is that, while most mainstream religions in the world tell people to "do good," Christianity tells people "it's okay to keep doing bad, as long as you have faith in Christ."

What's your comment?

I recently visited Ta Pinu Church on Gozo and was intrigued by the letters of thanks from people who had prayed and petioned to the church and received positive outcomes. I think I believe in miracles but cannot even begin to understand how, why etc

For those who know, I was contemplating leaving Islam. But I wasn't really, I think I said all of that in a very weak moment, and my human nature took better judgment of me. A lot of people said, tell your friends and family to support you, I have neither, so sometimes having to support myself isn't enough. Within the last month I lost my husband, Yesturday I lost my mother, today my friend said she is leaving forever. so basically i'm even more alone than I was.

Can you forgive me for saying all those things? Those who know me, know I would never doubt or leave Islam. It was as if I was a whole new person yesturday.

I am still very upset, lost and alone, But I hope inshallah Allah forgives me as well as everyone here.

Will you please keep me in your prayers?
