Religion & Spirituality - 21 September 2007

In Revelation 20:12 it says, "And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books."

Obviously, "The Book of Life" is opened, but what about the other books that are opened, is the "Lamb's Book of Life" one of them?

I'll share what I think later.

Many Ancient Indian tribes have prophetic visions that are similar from the Bible...I don't propose to be Prophet Crimson but I think the research will tell us that the the symbolic Book of Revelations lines up with Ancient Indian Prophecy.
Mohawk Prophecy of the Seventh Generation
According to the prophecy of the Seventh Generation, seven generations after contact with the Europeans the Onkwehonwe would see the day when the elm trees would die..And man would grow ashamed of the way that he had treated his Mother and Provider, the Earth.
Finally, according to this prophecy, after seven generations of living in close contact with the Europeans, the Onkwehonwe would rise up and demand that their rights and stewardship over the Earth be respected and restored.

Does anyone have a reasonable guess?

For example, I have a friend that tells everyone she's Catholic, because her family is, she went to church a lot growing up, catholic school, etc. The other day we talked about it and she said she really doesn't believe in God. Why is she telling everyone she's Catholic then?

I'm interested if there was a point in time when reading the words became something deeper. You know, the bible says that the word of God is living and active. I can remember at time when it really penetrated by heart that what I was reading was the living word of God. Would anyone like to share a time when they discovered this as well?

Snide answers are not welcome, and will be reported.

Hi everyone.

Future? It scares me so much but it fascinates me in such a sick twisted way. What will we be like, who will we marry, how will are lives turn out, what will the world be like... I mean all of use in our own way want to grasp the future but we too want to keep a firm grip on the present. Before we know it, it will be 2015. Change? Yes of course, flying cars, robots? I have no clue but we all want to know. I want to know what do you think about the future? I mean this is our childhood and before we know it we'll be married or with our own children. I mean what ever choice we make, makes an impact, an imprint on our future. What road will we take? A dark twisted one with a sinking hurisine? Or a beautfiul magestic skylight road?
Will we ever know these answers? Proabally not but they seem to be running through my mind these couple of sunless days.

Some double standards I have found, can you explain...
Q#1 Adam and Eve =Incest, gross, inbred...
but if all life came from a single cell, wouldn't that = incest?
Q#2 Evolution is evidence of non-intelligent creation
Don't scientist still say that they still aren't sure exactly how life started on Earth ["we don't know (we can't prove it), but we're pretty sure"]?
Q#3 Embryo's are just a clump of cells
What are humans? (ok this one isnt really part of the whole subject, but every time I see this answer, this thought comes up)
Q#4 If cells can just form under the right conditions, why not grow stem cells from nothing?

I'm not trying to start an argument here, these are just some things I wonder about...If you have the answers...please share.
I'm on the fence when it comes to creation of life...Logic tells me to go with what science speculates, but I believe in God which tells me through him anything is possible...

Yeah, I'd post this in biology but most of them aren't great at rational speculation. :)

I pray to God and I get thrown on my bed, my mind has some kinda thought control(mentel ilness??) I could be praying for God to free me, and all of a sudden I am telling God to suck my .... do you get my point?? Alot more dirtier then that. I could be praying for God to give me power in Jesus name, then all of a sudden my mind takes over and I see a pitcher of a demon, saying ask me for power. My mind suddenly starts wanting to ask power from him, then I tell my mind to shut up then I call on Jesus to help or bind the evil spirit, and poof I am wipded on my bed. Some angry feeling comes over me. So here I am crazy on the Lord, waiting to be freed. Calling for rightousness and power, and to be part of the gosple, being thrown around on my bed as I lay there in meditation on Gods face.

I use to take medication, but all that stuff ever did was cause me to want to kill myself. And I tryed once. Ever sense I trust and pray, I am happy.

So could you keep me in your prayer's?

A good deed you send out returns to you in a bad deed

If you believe that karma is real and you believe what newton stated "every action has an equal and opposite re-action"Then wouldn't that mean every good deed you sent, results in a bad deed towards you?

The opposite re-action of good is bad, therefore; if i were to steal from a man an equal and opposite good thing would happen to me, meaning I would get something of the same value for free.

This would make sense of the age old quote "bad things happen to good people"

This even makes sense of the biblical realm, If god is all pure, then it was ultimately inevidible that a equal and opposite force would be created (Satan)

Does my reasoning seem logical to you?

How important do you think it is to tell your family that you no longer follow the same religion as they do?

I moved away from home and now I live in a different state. While I was in college my views on my religion changed to something they may not approve of. Should I tell them about it anyway? Or just keep it to myself?

... your faith's views? A few examples from eastern faiths include dharma, tao, balance, etc; these terms often lose their meaning outside of the delicate context of an entire faith. Do you find it difficult to communicate these concepts to those of Abrahamic traditions (or outside your own, in general)?

Years ago, I was at a friend's party. His dad came into the room complaining of acute chest pains in the left regions. We all knew that he was having a heartattack. The most terrible thing was when we were trying to recesitate him, he started to shout out that he saw fire and was in a cave! The paramedics came and rushed him to the hospital where he died later that night. My question is this "Do you believe that he could've seen Hell even before he was completly dead and is Hell real"?
