Religion & Spirituality - 12 September 2007

To create a human being capable of handling Gods’ power, He would have to be perfect in every sense. This means he would have to deny all that makes him human, which is a sinful nature. He would also have to reach a physical, spiritual and intellectual maturity as well. He would have to be almost super-human… reaching beyond most other humans and their usual capabilities.

This man would have to live a life, right from birth, to reach that state of perfection. He would have to be influenced by all the interactions in his life, all the people and every circumstance he is exposed to. It is only possible to deny his humanity by not being of humanity… so he would have to be isolated from everyone in his life, because they are of this world and he cannot, otherwise he would also be lost.

This man would not even know that God chose him to carry His burden because his birth would not be of a miraculous nature, but a real one.

Will you be ready for when the time comes?

This is Gods’ world. He knows everything about everything and everyone. He can only do what is within His power, His limitation, which is determined through His people and their dedication to Him. His people have the most intimate of connections with Him and He uses them accordingly for the better good. However, since very few people truly know and understand Him, His power is very restricted.

Therefore, He only a needs a few who have sacrificed everything for Him, if only, even just, one person. Only one person is needed to fulfill all of Gods’ requirements, that person alone with all of Gods’ power would be enough to bring an end to all the pain, suffering and despair this world is plagued with.

That person would have to go beyond all human limitations, to become a King of this world. He would have to prove that he has what it takes to be worthy of Gods’ grace, strength and power.

Will you be ready for when the time comes?

if you limit yourself to just reading only the Bible to know about God, doesn't that mean that you're knowledge of God may be lacking? do you think God has stopped talking, or working, as soon as the authors of the books in the Bible died and stopped writing?

are you saying that God is limited only in the Bible? you say God is great, but why do you seem to limit Him with just the Bible only?

just a thought, if you truly love God as you say, you would want to find out more about Him, wouldn't you? it's the same with loving another person, you would want to know more about that person, right?

are you sure you're not missing anything about God when you limit yourself to just reading your Bible?


*by the way, this question is for people who believe that Scripture alone is enough

Okay, we all start out in the Asteroid Belt. All of our parent species are taking rides in outer space. Our Martian mother- Marza, and our Jupiterian father- Jup-Jup decided to hold a contest. They wanted to see who could design the better species. Marza made the mammals, and Jup-Jup made the reptiles. So they made the species. They wanted to just send them off, but the animals refused. So they gave them free rides on the asteroids. Then, they turned the rockets on on the asteroids (making them comets). The animals streaked across space. Then they crashed landed on "Grandma Earth"'s front lawn. Grandma Earth wanted to teach them a lesson and decided to keep the prototypes. The reptiles were winning at first, that is until Jup-Jup got mad at Grandma Earth and made a prank sized asteroid, turned on the rocket, and shot it into Grandma Earth's property. That killed off the reptiles. Marza was declared the winner for now, and occasionally, they send their alien drones to check on us.

A poster asked about Hitler's romance with Martin Luther's racism, and I'm afraid that when I saw 'Dr. Martin Luther' my knee jerked. My answer was seriously wide of the mark, and I apologize to the poster and to R&S participants. I deleted my answer.

God's plan was for Jesus to come to earth and be a sacrifice for our sins. In order for that to happen, certain events had to line up. Did everyone involved really have free will or were they predestined to fulfill their part in God's plan?

- Judas betrayed Jesus to the Romans. If he hadn't done this Jesus wouldn't have been crucified and God's plan would have failed. Did Judas really have free will or did God intend for him to betray Jesus from the start?

- Pilate chose to have Jesus crucified to please his subjects and let the theives go instead. He could have chosen differently, but then God's plan wouldn't have been fulfilled. Did he really have free will or was he predestined to fulfill this part of God's plan?

Do you think that God has a plan for the rest of us, and if you do, do you think we always have free will or are we sometimes predestined to do certain things that will lead to other events that God has planned for us?

So, since all of them went to their bloody deaths claiming to have seen the resurrected Christ and claiming that he performed all the miracles reported in the Gospels , why would they have done this if they didn't believe it was true? People die for their religious beliefs all the time but not if they are positive that it is a lie. It would be very obvious it was a lie if they had stolen the body or participated in some sort of scam but would they die for a scam? The fact that none of them cracked and said they were lying must mean they were pretty convinced. Were they convinced by some elaborate scam or did they see a miraculous life, death and resurrection? What do you think? I would appreciate well-thought out, respectful atheist responses for this. Would you die for a cause you didn't believe in? What would it take for you to do so?

One of Jesus' claims was that he had the authority to forgive sins and that simply by believing in him we could have that forgiveness. There is a lot of peace in knowing that all my sins are forgiven . To obtain this you need only to confess Jesus as your Lord and savior. You don't have to follow a whole lot of rules or do a lot of works. Salvation is by grace (a free gift) and by believing in the completed work of Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, who rode on a donkey into Jerusalem exactly on the day prophesied by Daniel.

What are some ridiculous rules that the Catholic Church has made that you personally don't think God would agreed with. They can be recently made and rules that were first created in the Holy Bible.

No offense intended by this question.

If there absolutely is no god, then how did the universe come to be? you see, you may think you have all the answers, but you do not have this one. when I would ask you this question, you would reply as: well there was this huge "bang" and then we somehow got here because the "bang" was so big it made the universe. well, what caused the big bang? exactly. you don't know. i'm not saying positively that there is a god, but I'm saying you must be retarded if you say one cannot possibly even the smallest chance exist. everything is possible.

“But they (the world) will do all these (persecuting) things against YOU on account of my name, because they do not know him that sent me.” (John 15:21) Who sent Jesus? Jesus in prayer to his Father said, “This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.” (John 17:3) And did not Jesus say, “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified (or King James Hallowed)”? (Matthew 6:9) If we understand who that Father is and call or pray to him with that Hallowed Sanctified name will he answer use if we want to do something special for that Hallowed name of his? If Jesus put that name first should not ALL Christians? Did Jesus ever say Hallowed be the Fathers name, Hallowed be the Sons name, Hallowed be the Holy Spirits name? And is there a name for the holy spirit as there is for the Father Jehovah and Son Jesus? If they are all equal where is the equalitarian in names to be Hallowed? Jesus was sent?
