Religion & Spirituality - 30 September 2007

There are many Christians who know about Pagan beliefs because there are friends or family members who ARE Pagans.

My own family is an example of this. They LEARNED about my religion, even though they are STILL Christian and I am Hellenic Polytheist.

There is NO VALID reason to say that someone needs to "admit" to being pagan if they know about Pagan beliefs for another reason.

An atheist was out in the middle of a lake fishing. Just enjoying himself and having a good time. All of a sudden the Loch Ness monster came up from under his boat. Knocking the boat and the atheist into the air. As the man flew through the air he could see the monster waiting to eat him. He hollered "God help me". All of a sudden time froze and he was just hanging in the air. A voice from Heaven boomed "I thought you didn't believe in me?". The atheist yelled "Give me a break, two minutes ago I didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster either."

Just to make it a question. Did it make you laugh or at least smile?

I recently had a tear whilst digging in my yard. I feel so bad that something like this would happen to my beloved Temple Undergarments. My Brothers and my Sisters do you know where I can get a replacement garment?

May the power of Joseph Smith carry you to Paradise!!!

records prove to be true, then what does this tell us about the meaning of the phrase " Son of God"?

When Jesus claimed to be the Son of God, His Jewish contemporaries fully understood that he was making a claim to be God in an unqualified sense.

From the earliest days of Christianity, the pharase " Son of God" was understood to be fully equivalent to God.

In the first 3 verses the servant is rejected and says so 7 different ways
In the next 3 verses the servant is to uffer for 'our' sins and says so seven differnt ways
in the next 3 verses the servant dies
in the last 3 verses the servant overcomes death

why is it so important to repeat these so many times, after all Jospeh said Pharoah's dreas were repeated twice and so said God had firmly decided something
Daniel say the word MENE MENE on the wall written twice and said GOd firmly decided it...

so what does it mean for God to repeat something 7 times like that and what does it mean "It pleased GOd to crush him and the pleasures of GOd will be multiplied in Him" Isaiah 53

add religious propaganda to US money in the 1950s?

Did this propaganda put a stop to communism in the Soviet Union the next day?

Knowing it's their mission to evangelize, do you think Christians will use any unscrupulous shred of an opportunity to spread their propaganda?

Galileo Galileo was a Christian, George LeMaitre, the man who proposed the big bang theory was a devote Belgian priest, Professor Hawking keeps referring to God in his book “A brief history of time”. If people who have taken deep scientific thought about the universe believe in God why are their learners on this forum want to use their views to doubt the existence of the Creator?

think human nature being what it is, if there was no religion, people would still form opinions, groups, and would like to enforce there views on others. They would just call their opinions some other name instead of their religion. Therefore there would be just as many wars if there were no religions. I would really like some thoughtful comments from people about human nature and would it be different without religion.

Hebrew and Aramaic translation of this text:

At that time there was a well known prisoner whose name was Jesus Barabbas

KJV, and most English translations:

And they had then a notable prisoner named Barabbas

Forgive me for being a linguist but doesn't [ bar=son and abbas= god]

Jesus Son of God...which one did they crucify?


Sorry to give the atheist more ammunition but we kinda set ourselves up for this one by translating Matthew into Greek and then somehow losing the original version.

I smell a rat! I would love for someone to explain this to me!

I am not a card carrying member of the Mormon Church but I like certain Mormon traditions. I especially have a strange desire to wear "Temple Garments." I don't know why but it is something that is often thought of as off limits to average folks so I guess to most of us it is a fetish or something.

Where can I get a catalog with the latest Mormon temple underwear? Better yet where can I get my hands on some of the temple underwear? Are there local stores.

I would like to thank all of my Brothers and Sisters for your help in getting me temple underwear.

I hate it when people try to answer religion questions with silly answers, because most of the time people are looking for a serious response and an answer that helps them. Who's with me on this?

Why do they assume The Antichrist is from an enemy country, and not their own? When he reveals himself many will fall for his false message of peace. Why aren't more watchful?

Doctor Lina Pavonelli wrote in her book that the Pope John Paul II died by Euthanasia according to the Catholic Church. And that the Pope refused the treatment because he considered it disproporcionated.
Let’s read the Cathechism of the Catholic Church:

2278 Discontinuing medical procedures that are burdensome, dangerous, extraordinary, or disproportionate to the expected outcome can be legitimate; it is the refusal of "over-zealous" treatment.
Here one does not will to cause death; one's inability to impede it is merely accepted.

2279 …The use of painkillers to alleviate the sufferings of the dying, even at the risk of shortening their days, can be morally in conformity with human dignity if death is not willed as either an end or a means, but only foreseen and tolerated as inevitable. Palliative care is a special form of disinterested charity. As such it should be encouraged.

What do you think about this?

Thou shall not kill for any reason.
Thou shall not commit adultery for any reason.
Thou shall steal for any reason. and etc;
The Ten commands are the laws of God, and they were made by God for man to obey and to live. There are no excuses given by God for man to break any of these laws, and if you break any one of these laws you have broken all of them. Man laws are different from God laws. Man laws send people off to kill people. Man is not have sex with anyone until marriage, man get a divorce for many reasons, God law is that no man can seperate what he have joined togeather. And etc; There is going to be a lots people going to be lost , because they obeyed man laws instead of God laws.
