Religion & Spirituality - 21 September 2007

For example, 18, and then they were taught about all religions equally and in an unbiased way, would as many of them accept it as they do when they're taught to believe in a specific religion from a young age?

Please, if you can't answer this question without being offensive, don't answer.

OUr minds our limited science will never get to uncover all the secrets of God to his creations. To those people out there who don't beliebe in God John 20:29 says:
"Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."

P.S. Of course you will never understand the mysteries of God unless he wants to reveal it to you! He always has existed and this is something science will never prove because God does not reveal his secrets to people who don't believe, he reveals his secretes to people that believe in him!

right for a U.S. citizen to own and use a gun?

If God won't take you, remind him that he has been overruled by the Constitution of the United States. Even God can't fight the Constitution.

The United States Rules. God Follows. (As it has been ever since the U.S. found it could use religion to justify whatever it wants to do).

You have even heard Bush doing it on television.

How could he have sinned? Don't you think the God character over-reacted, just a bit? Didn't God know Adam was going to eat the fruit anyway? Why not just remove the tree?

If you leave an open bottle of bleach on the floor and tell your toddler not to drink it, is it really their fault if you stand by and watch as they proceed to go to the bleach and drink it anyway?

Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven-as mentioned in the Bible.

I don't have anything against Jews, I support Israel and I am by no means racist, but it seems to me bad to say that the Holy Family was Jewish when it was the Jews of that area (not all Jews!) who killed.

According to the Passion of the Christ, the Jewish merchants tell the Jewish soldiers to crucify. It shows them walking through the streets of Rome up to the cross.

I guess it is just insult to injury.

Please don't construe this as racist or anything, I know it happened A LONG time ago and His Holiness Pius the XI forgave the Jews.

The Virgin loves and prays for all Her people (everyone)!

NOT a question targeting those who allow a little "leeway" in interpretations/accuracy but to those who think the King James Version is 100% infallable word of God:

From the King James Version:

“Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.” 2 Chronicles 22:2

“Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.” 2 Kings 8:26

How did that come about then?

A fellow employee went to a funeral yesterday. Catholic lady passes away. Member of the same Catholic Church for all her life. Priest is up there giving his eulogy & stops & says to the coffin "now what's your name again?". Skips over it, & continues on. She told us this this morning. It reminded me of that new commercial where the guy is new & answering the phone with his paperwork in front of him & says "hello, my name is - fill in the blanks".

The family were furious that after all the time as a member of that church, the priest didn't even remember their mother's name. She was just a body in a pew & money in the collection plate it seems.

I'm not Catholic. I grew up a Baptist. The people that we went to church with all knew each other as did the minister. It was like a huge family. The minister came to the hospital when people were in there & even came to the house to check up on you.

How do you define love? How do you define God? What do you think of the trillions of marriages that have always existed without your religion interfering?

PPl are telling me they have seen someone using my name without a picture, pretendint to be me and saying things they KNOW I would not say. I know there are wicked ppl on here, and I leave them to God. I dont know how they do this or hot to stop it and I dont worry about it. But, my question is this>

THOSE OF YOU FAMILILIAR WITH ME KNOW THIS , I AM A BIT WORDY I THINK GOD IS CALLING ME TO PREACH, BUT YOU SEE I AM CONSISTANT IN MY BELIEFS AND THAT I AM A STRONG CHRISTIAN. I BELIEVE IN ALL OF THE BIBLE AND THAT WE MUST OBEY IT.
So, when someone tries to impersonate me with things that are not of God or that I would say, WOULDNT YOU KNOW THAT WASNT ME/// Thats the question. Just ignore those nasty ppl, who want to silence me for speaking the truth about God. Dont they know you cant silence a true Christian. God knows jsut how to deal with them. When you curse someone, it curses you.
So be praying for me and the person that is attemting to impersonate me, .

I stupidly leave my main door open often, with just the screen door closed. I swear my neighborhood is obviously screaming for help because there are sooo many JWs and Mormons knocking on doors A LOT. I don't want to be rude, but I also don't want to listen to that. How can I immediately get rid of them, stop them, but without being rude?

Just wondering. I can't imagien that they would ever feel good about themselves whether they refrained, or got married, or carried on with relationships and prayed away the sin after.

Don't you think it's good there are no prayer groups in Schools? You would have to let all the religions (prayers) be prayed in order to be fair! Don't you think that children being denied prayer in school makes them hungry and thirsty for God's word, and his righteousness, and they shall be filled? :)
Have a blessed day!!!

I am a waitress and served a family of born again baptists. As a tip, I recieved a bible. The whole time they were odd and very silent and the children were ignored. It was very surreal. Don't they realize that I work for the tip? Not for god?? So, here's my question,

Why is it that all of you religious people look down upon people who are atheist or agnostic, you preach all about loving thy neighbor but yet we don't feel your love, just your hatred and closed-mindedness. We don't need your pity or your prayers, we just look for respect. The same kind of respect we give to you. I swear jesus-lovers preach and preach and preach about love and respect but in reality they are all just a bunch of hypocrits. As soon as they meet a homosexual, or a non-traditional family they go bonkers. Why can't everyone just co-exist? And personally, if you can't leave a tip consisting of money, don't go out at all.

Old favourite again!

It is my understanding that Christians claim that:

a) their God is Omni present/scient/potent
b) that man was created by God. (One day we didnt exist, one day we did)

and

c) we are responsible for our actions, as we have been given Freewill

My assertion is that if God creates a person(b), and does so with the attribute of omniscience(a), then God cannot grant that person true 'freewill' (c) as God knows everything that will ever happen to that person the moment they come into existance.

So if you disagree please try and help me understand the failings in the logic - ie Which premise, (a), (b) or (c) is incorrect?

(and please if you cannot explain it yourself please don't make references to bible rationale sites - I've read them....)
(and I also don;t need any pity, prayers, threats of devine retribution etc. Trust me I am well stocked with all three)

a structure in one of it's chambers that has the same dimentions of the ark of the covenant,......even paticular stones in the pyramid have the frequency of the human heart beat.........of coarse there is much more that is connected to the earth and the celestial planets and such.........so you think Christ symbolizes the cap stone on the pyramid.........Remember that the Pyramid was there before the Egyptions came around.......nobody seems to know who build this specific Great Pyramid..............What are your thoughts on all of this...............You can speculate,........I will surely not hold it against anyone.
