Religion & Spirituality - 22 September 2007

Deuteronomy 13:2 If there appears among you a prophet or a dream-diviner and he gives you a sign or a portent, saying, "Let us follow to worship another god"....for the Lord your God is testing you to see whether you really love the Lord your God....Follow none but the Lord your God and revere none but Him."
It doesn't end by saying, "unless its Jesus" or "untill I send my Son whom is also me because He is God too but in flesh...." Please reconcile this with the worship of Jesus Christ. Thanks.

But do they realize that this is a RELIGION & SPIRITUALLITY site/forum? We have every right to state our point of view here. This site was meant for religious, Christian and spiritual conversation and guidance - not to be ridiculed & insulted by atheists & non believers . It doesn't read "Atheist & non believer site" so give it up and stop acting like you "OWN" this site. Christian, religious people, do you agree with me?

without admitting that they do it with guns?
For the hardnuts, sure there are other ways to kill, but they are not as easy and as cowardly as pointing a gun FROM A DISTANCE. As someone else pointed out, most murders are done in an emotional outburst when a gun is handy.

What is the Purpose of the Bible...? This morning I posted this on my Blog.

I have come to this conclusion... AND... I would appreciate a response from those that Really KNOW... JESUS...!

Here is my conclusion...

(Acts 26:18) in order to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the authority of Satan to God, so that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me [JESUS].

(Acts 26:18) in order to
open their eyes
so that they may turn
from darkness
to light,
and
from the authority of Satan
to God,
so that they
may receive remission of sins
and
an inheritance
among those
who are sanctified by
faith in Me [JESUS].

Thanks, RR

According to the bible.(you know the thing christians keep saying to read) Jesus should have been back already. I read as it is written. I looked up and studied the culture and the language of the times. How do you get around the fact that in the bible Jesus said that before that generation passed he would return. (not from the dead, but in full glory in his kingdom) with each passing year do you not realize that daddys not coming home. He has found another family. Or better yet he was a man who was just a man. He like all other men died and is not coming back from it.

Where is your Jesus?

What are the qualifications for the 144,000 mentioned in the Bible book of Revelation Chapter 7 & 14?

1) They are all Jews- Rev. 7.4 .

2) They are all men- Rev. 14 : 4.

3) They are all identified by tribe-Rev. 7:4- 8.

4) None of them are married- Rev. 14:4.

5) They have the Father's name written on their foreheads- Rev. 14 : 1.

6) They are all seen with Jesus on Mount Zion, on Earth - Rev. 14: 1.

7) Their appearance is after the Great Tribulation, as Christ will not return to earth until the beginning of the Millennium or at the very end of the Great Tribulation. (See Matt. 24:29 & 30, Rev. 1:7, Acts 1:10&11.)

This is all "figurative" you say? We may conclude then, that the number 12,000 following the name of each tribe in Rev. 7: 4- 8 is also "figurative", thus the 12,000 X 12,000 being the 144,000 becomes multiplied figurative thinking !

The truth is that there is not a single person on earth today that meets the qual-ifications of the 144,000 of Revelation chapters 7 & 14.

wanted to focus on just changing the people's spiritual direction why did he let himself be annointed by John?? it wasn't a spiritual conversion, once the oil touched his head he was ACCEPTING his birthright as the king of israel! had he not done this couldn't he have gone on happily teaching and preaching??? could the whole thing have been no more than a non violent resistance movement, that once Jesus was killed ticked everyone off and cemented their comittment? this would explain why the gospels were written during the destruction of jerusalem and the jewish revolt wouldn't it?? and why they were written to whitewash the roman blame?? if you really see jesus go to heaven why do you fear accusing the romans???

When people ask questions on here, does it annoy anyone else when the Christians start answering with stuff like (basically saying): "become a Christian/obey Christian laws/God will help you/Believe Jesus and you will be fine"? I mean, they can believe what they want, i'm anything but ignorant, but for serious human problems, religious answers really don't help.

my pastors talked about how you shouldnt date someone who isnt the same religion as you. My pastor said break up with him. I told my best friend, who was there that i dont want to stop dating him because i feel like i can lead him to Christ.The other thing he is a weak wiccan. like he doesnt really follow his religion at all.. hes just there. he used to be a hardcore christian growing up and then the church offended him and i dont know why so he went to wiccan, which he really doesnt follow it. he is also a marine and hes in iraq right now. when i talk to him its only once a month for 5 minutes. so to break up with him while hes in iraq is harsh and mean. which i would never do. i want to talk to him about it when he gets home. whereas my best friend wants me to do now because she says its sinning until he gets home because were "unequaly yoked."i love this man and i refuse to leave him. it bothers me a little that hes not a christian and then it doesnt. should i leave my boyfriend?

You COULD assume that something is a metaphor because it makes the most sense for it to be one (to you), but no one can agree about what is and isn't a metaphor in the bible. I can't even give an example because half would cite the passage as literal, and half metaphorical. So really who can say, without putting words into God's mouth, what is and what is not a metaphor in the bible (besides the obvious ones - like Jesus's parables)?

Personally, I have always HATED this debate.

First of all, Christians nowadays have taken the Bible WAY too seriously. People think the Earth was actually created in literally SEVEN days. I'm not sure the exact number, but a day in the Bible is about a few thousand years, incase you weren't aware. Keep in mind that a big chunk of the Bible is symbolic. How could anyone believe that an actual six-headed beast is going to kill us all in the end.

Secondly, this evangelicalism (or whatever you call it) has completely portrayed the Christian face! Which is why we have so many atheists who find religion so stupid!

Why can't Christian just suck it up listen to the theories out there, and yes, I believe they can all cooperate with the Bible? Why can't atheists/agnostics wake up to the fact that religion is not stupid and it has become distorted under the work of man? Besides, most of them haven't even touched a Bible in their life.
