Religion & Spirituality - 10 September 2007

And what is the ministry's main focus?

For example, some of my favorites are:

Joyce Meyer Ministries, a preaching ministry focused primarily on educating believers on how to apply the Bible to everyday life.
http://www.joycemeyer.org/

The Voice of the Martyrs, which helps Christians who are persecuted for their faith in many countries.
http://www.persecution.com/

and Jews for Jesus, in which Jewish-Christian believers witness the Good News of the gospel to non-Christian Jews.
http://www.jewsforjesus.org/

Which ministries do you strongly support?
Thanks for sharing!

Why do we believe in Jesus and the Bible and not Mohammad and the Koran? There are a billion Muslims and most of them live in the Middle East and around a billion Christians and they live in the west, generally....

Does where you live determine what you believe?

Will one of these groups go to Hell? And how do you know?

Why some Christians are in denial about their own religion and come on here saying"well you should not judge" when some Christians say it like it is, Christianity says if you do not believe in Jesus as your savior,you are going to hell. There is no other way around it, so why do some Christians get all offended when some other Christians do say that? THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOUR RELIGION TEACHES, IT DOES TEACH THAT ATHEISTS,AGNOSTICS, JEWS, MUSLIMS, BUDDHIST ALL ARE GOING TO HELL. SO, if you do not like that, why don't you just get rid of your religion , instead of complaining here about other Christians that actually do talk about the nastiness of that religion? WHY ALL THE FAKE INDIGNATION?
WHY DO YOU TRY TO MAKE YOUR RELIGION LOOK BETTER ?

I've decided to read the whole Bible and have only read a few pages but noticed that it includes a long geneology in the first few pages. I kind of just skip through it because there's so many names, but is it important to recognize those names to understand parts of the Bible or is it like a "just so you know" type of thing?

There's mineral water, purified spring water, distilled water, steam vaporized water, flavored water, water with bubbles, water with vitamins added. Why couldn't I just drink plain old tap water. It's free, after all.

From the paintings they look just like modern humans. Not only that, but the garden of eden sounds really complicated. I am pretty sure that early humans lived in mudpits surrounded by rocks. I don't think they had anything as nice looking and intricate as the garden of eden. Overall, the story sounds like a best guess as to how humans came about.

I know of an organization that build a home for a couple. It was small but pretty to see from the outside.

These people that built the home had a HUGE banner over the house stating how wonderful this organization was and how they were helping the community. In addition there were bule balloons and trays of food.

My question is if you do a good deed for someone isnt it supposed to be done in secret and not annoucing it in the public square see Matthew 6:1-6?

Also the same organization basically hung up on a couple trying to get housing because they felt 31,000 a year combined income was too much money to make.

What is your take on this?

your religeon clearly states that you are better the every one else. its sais you are the chosen people. "am segola"
and thet you are a nation, not only a religion.
and that your goal is to come back to Zion.
so how can you be Americans and jews in the same time... or of any other nationality. your think you are better then any one else, and that you are entitled for any thing... and if you dont get what you want its anti-Semitism. how can you in good heart be Jewish an in the same time Americans (or of any other nationality)?

There isn't a page in the bible that i have read that hasn't made me feel as if the authors were playing a hideous joke on all of humanity. It is all so simplistic, so black and white. The facts that we've come to know about the world in this enlightened age have been turned on their ear... even some of the knowledge that one would expect the authors themselves to know is lampooned (that light requires a source for instance). Pages upon pages are wasted on minutia where the real meat of most of these stories is glossed over in mere words.

How can anyone really take this stuff seriously? Am I being punked by the world?!

Maybe drawings or something. I don't see why God didn't try and start the religious phenomena back when humans first existed. Or had the bible written back then.

It seems that if religion is authoritative, and factual, then the events should have started with the beginning of mankind. Instead of waiting until humans were somewhat smart enough to come up with creative stories.

or is it all after you have died?

because if you really think about it, if a person claims and believe that he/she accpets Jesus as his/her Lord and Savior then he/she will go to Heaven, unpunished, no matter what.

so, what if that person commits a crime, murder for example, thinking that he/she will go to Heaven, regardless, as long as he/she repents and ask God for forgiveness, don't you think that person is very dangerous to all people around them?

so what can you say about this idea of "once saved always saved"?

I really think it's ridiculous.

I used to get a magazine about it maybe 25 years ago, and the name of it changed. By now I suppose it would be a web site anyway. Who can help me learn more about gnosticism?

I was wondering because I was actually told by a priest according to the scriptures all Christians are saints.

But some are canonized a Saint like St. Joan of Arc or St. Paul so what has to happen for one to become a saint..
