Religion & Spirituality - 17 September 2007

Look at Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot. They were all staunch atheists and they were responsible for some of the worst atrocities in history.

Look at China and the Soviet Union. Look how good those godless countries turned out.

You need religion in a society.

Agree?

Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, WHOEVER BELIEVES IN GOD AND THE LAST DAY AND DOES GOOD, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve."{Holy Quran 2:62}

Does this mean I do not have to become a Muslim because I do believe in God, I do good deeds and the people I know think I'm a good person. I believe in The Last Days and Judgment from God.

I seriously would like to know if this is true!

Thank you.

I can choose one path, which leads to my suffering the just consequences of my actions, eternity in hell. Or, I can choose the second, which means that I get off scott free.

I take it you're suggesting that I choose the first path, but it seems to me that that would make me quite a weasel, don't you agree? Wouldn't you call a confessed murderer who asks the court to let him off scott free a weasel, or worse?

Hello all, I pray that you are doing well this morning.
For God has not given us a Spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7
Have you thought about this, seriously?
First off, take the order of it. We know that the most important commandment is love, so why does it say power first?
Friends, I think that this is telling us that in order to do what God has commanded of us,we first need to exercise the power that He has given us. We have all the power over the enemy. God did not give us the SPIRIT OF TIMIDITY. As a matter of fact, He gave us the POWER TO DEFEAT OUR ENEMY, SATAN. After we exercise that power, we can go on to the next one, love. See, satan is going to do everything that he can to keep us from this one. Because he knows that this one is the one that shows Jesus to others.
By this all men will know that you are my disciples if you love one another. John 13:35
Friends, and then we come to discipline.

Do they make a public confession to Jesus Christ as their Lord & Savior?
Do they believe in their heart Jesus raised from the dead. That Jesus is the first fruits (firstborn) from the dead?

Are they then born again of His Spirit?

I noticed that some atheist would say that religion was the root of most wrongs in history. The historical events mentioned are usually the crusades, nazis against the jews, the kkk, and other event. However one should look at all of these events and more, you can also say that the white man or the white european man is behind such events.

So when an atheist does this aren't they just using history biasly to prove a point?

wouldn't that be it? Shouldn't one side of the theist version rule over all others and even be convincing enough to convince myself and other atheists?

affecting morality and the empowerment of women?"

By this question, I am asking about the sexual objectification of women, how fashion is a contributer and if you think that this is disempowering for women. Many people believe that fashion is liberating, as the clothing we wear is a form of expression of one's self. But on the spin side, women in general are pre - judged on what they wear instead of on their intellect and personality. For instance, if a woman wears a low - cut top, then she is generally seen as 'easy', when in reality she is far from it - do you think that this disempowers women? Or, do you think that fashion allows women to be underestimated, and therefore we gain empowerment?

What ethical stance do you think should be taken for the next generation?

Could you also state whether you are an Atheist / Catholic / Muslim / Spiritualist etc... I am partaking a research thesis on this topic so each and every opinion given will be greatly appreciated. Thank u :)

Veronica is not mentioned in any of the gospels, not even in the entire Bible. According to tradition, Veronica was one of the women who lined the street along which Jesus passed on the way to His crucifixion. She is said to have stepped forward to wipe the blood and dirt from the face of Jesus with a piece of cloth. That face of Jesus was miraculously impressed on the cloth.

The Roman Catholic Church commemorates this as the 6th Station of the Cross.

Veronica came from the Latin verac- meaning true or verax meaning truthful, and the Greek word Eikon meaning “image”. Hence, her name means “true image” or “true likeness”.
