Religion & Spirituality - 25 September 2007

to better rephrase my other q.
He is the ONLY way, the ONLY truth, the ONLY life, NOONE comes to the FATHER, but only through HIM
no one else will take you to heaven
that is a fact.
It's not a religion, it's a relationship

I am tired of having to hide my ethnicity because of what Muslims do!!! Why can't they secularize and have a sexual revolution? The only reason they are hated is because of Islam!!! Why don't they make life easier for me? I am secular and hate religion.

"In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple."

How many Christians can truly call themselves followers of Christ. Let's face it, they earn money and consume and consume and want more and more. They clearly are not following what Jesus said.

Even by Luke

Luke 19
8But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount."
9Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."

Christians should give up half of what they have and need no more or the path to salvation is lost. How many Christians pay the bills and then give the rest away? None I bet. How many hvave paid back 4 times to those they

I eagerly await the human interpretation of this to fit capitalism and consumerism!!

but god didn't deliver me any magic groceries.

do you think that this is because i didn't pray long and hard enough? or does god just want to feed some people and not others? do you think god is telling me i should lose some weight?

Yes yes yes... you have accepted Jesus as your lord and saviour. You are joyful of it. You believe he is going to come back and judge us all. You believe we are going to hell if we don't accept him too.

We have heard it.
And we don't care.
Leave us alone.

Telling us again isn't going to make your words any more profound. If anything, the droning just makes it easier to ignore.


JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T LISTEN DOESN'T MEAN WE DON'T HEAR YOU.


So...
.... seriously....
................ STFU.

I would like to hear about how your religion explains why some people are living in extreme poverty while some are living in extreme luxury. Even though we all know intelligence, motivation, socio-economic factors and luck of the person are some of the determinant factors, i would still like to know from a religious viewpoint.

and If the 'soul' is essence, does it too exist, or is it an ancient myth that we have become to believe, because various religions have told us it exists.

Can anyone explain these ?

PR 30:5 Every word of God proves true.
1KI 22:23, 2CH 18:22, JE 4:10, JE 20:7, EZ 14:9 God deceives some of the prophets.

JE 8:8 The scribes falsify the word.
2TH 2:11-12 God deceives the wicked (to be able to condemn them).

(Note: Every word of God cannot prove true if God deceives anyone at all; the Bible cannot be trusted if the scribes falsify the word. The first reference is mutually exclusive with the other three. Thus, the Bible cannot be the perfect work of a perfect and loving God since one or more of the above references is obviously untrue. Note also: Some versions use the word "persuade" rather than "deceives." The context makes clear, however, that deception is involved.)

EZ 20:25 God says that he intentionally gave out bad laws. (This means that God-given laws or commandments are sometimes suspect.)

Lucifer and Prometheus are parallel figures in mythology. In Milton's Paradise Lost, Lucifer, the light bringer, is cast as The Adversary. In the book of Genesis the original sin of Adam and Eve was to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. All in all, this seems to indicate that there is something wicked about seeking to shine the light of understanding on life. Why, when the signature attribute of human Being is the power of choice, would this be so? Is it really necessary to check one's brain at the door of the Church? Is ignorance really our only avenue to Life more abundant? Or is the Gospel According to Thomas which begins- "Let him who seeks not cease seeking until he finds..." - the true gospel?

Caution: I do not believe in an anthropomorphic "god", so spare me the inane superficiality of the conventional, Pharisaic Christianity of Paul of Tarsus.

It went so far in the early church that they persecuted people who tried to communicate the truth that the earth was not the center of the universe. We now all know that this is a fact, but the church continues to persecute those who actively seek the evidence to discover the truth about our universe and our origins.

In light of the evidence based conclusions, we are not the purpose for the universe... but because the church and it's followers find comfort in believing we are they try to make life difficult for those of us who want the human race to know the truth about the universe and our role in it.

Catholics - is your purpose here to convert others to the catholic faith or are you here to defend and explain the Catholic faith?

Non-Catholics - do you think the catholics here are trying to convert you to the Catholic faith or here to defend and explain the Catholic faith?

Grandpa draws his final breath and is carted off to a mortuary where he is drained of his blood and filled with some sort of pickle fluid. He is spiffed up, painted up and laid out in an expensive box that will soon be buried forever. Friends and family gather to spend an evening with the corpse and sniff at the appropriate times.

Is this what you would like for your self? Or do you have some ideas of your own that stray from the norm? I sure do.

obviously accurate. Here is the answer that a couple gave thumbs down. - Did Pagan Constantine contribute in writing the word of God?

It is worth noting, and well known throughout the religious world, that the choice of the present four "gospels" of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) were imposed in the Council of Nicea 325 CE for political purposes under the auspices of the pagan Emperor Constantine, and not by Jesus. Constantine’s mind had not been enlightened either by study or by inspiration. He was a pagan, a tyrant and criminal who murdered his son, his wife and thousands of innocent individuals because of his lust for political power. Constantine ratified other decisions in the Nicene Creed such as the decision to call Christ "the Son of God

Why shouldn't the truth get a thumbs up even if you don't like the answer?

This one guy just goes around ALL the religion question and posts the same thing everytime:

"Remember, "god" is nothing more than a nonsense word created by man to explain away all of the things we can't yet understand.

Religion is a disease of the mind, born of fear, which has done nothing but bring untold misery down upon the human race. "

I know its not very "christian like" but reading that just makes me want to beat him senseless! lol

What is his purpose?
He just sits there all day going around tell people that we are wrong...

When...honestly....we are not wrong. But whatever. they will all find out soon enough.

Who else has recieved a comment from thsi guy?

A man and his son were walking in the forest. Suddenly the boy trips and feeling a sharp pain he screams, "Ahhhhh."

Surprised, he hears a voice coming from the mountain, "Ahhhhh!" Filled with curiosity, he screams: "Who are you?", but the only answer he receives is: "Who are you?"

This makes him angry, so he screams: "You are a coward!", and the voice answers: "You are a coward!"






He looks at his father, asking, "Dad, what is going on?"

"Son," the man replies, "pay attention!" Then he screams, "I admire you!"

The voice answers: "I admire you!"






The father shouts, "You are wonderful!", and the voice answers: "You are wonderful!"

The boy is surprised, but still can't understand what is going on.





Then the father explains, "People call this 'ECHO', but truly it is 'LIFE!' Life always gives you back what you give out! Life is a mirror of your actions. If you want more love, give more love! If you want more kindness, give more
