Religion & Spirituality - 11 October 2007

God's records are so complete that the hairs on your head are numbered (see matt 10:30) They are not just counted. Counted would mean He simply knows how many. No, they are numbered, meaning He knows which hair is in you comb!

Jeremiah 29:11 - for I know the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Even in those moments of absolute stagnation in your life, He is working and expected end for your good. God has a plan for your life, do you believe?

Take care

I see so much evil in the world and so many bad things going on,
So if God was real and as all this power like them that believe claim he does,lets face it they say he made us and the world we live in,why does he not step in and put a end to all the nasty stuff in the world?
If you have the power to end all suffering what kind of a person sits down and looks over us all and does nothing?

Do you see a difference between these two Bible versions?

King James Version
Acts 3:25 - Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

Acts 3:26 - Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
New King James Version
Acts 3:25 - You are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

Acts 3:26 - To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning every one of you away from his iniquities.

In the KJV, we find that Jesus is God's Son. In the NKJV, we find that He is God's servant. These are clearly not the same! The Greek word found in the text here is "pais". It can be used in Greek for either "son" or "servant." So which one is correct here?


Could it be that these modern translators disagree that "pais" can be translated "son?" No, the NKJV committee translates this very word as "boy," "child" or "son" in Matthew 2:16; 17:18; 21:15; Luke 2:43; 9:42; and John 4:51. Yet they refused to translate the word as "son" in this powerful sermon where Peter presents Jesus as Messiah and Son of God.

One has to ask, why were these translators so determined to deny the deity of Jesus in this passage? Is this a Bible you can trust with your eternal destiny?

God has a problem. There are so many denominations of Christianity, each believing that they’re the only way to Heaven, that HE has had to divide Heaven into sectors to keep the peace.

Eventually he grows tired of this and decides to throw out all the denominations that will not accept HIM as the one true god, and those who are unwilling to accept each other.

So he throws out the Mormons, he throws out the Baptists, he throws out the Seventh Day Adventists, he throws out the born-again Christians and all the other demoninations and sub-denominations who will not accept HIM and HIS brethren, and sends them all to Hell.

Having restored peace in Heaven God sits back and relaxes.

After only a few hours Satan appears and wants to thank him for giving him for so many new recent ‘converts.’

As Satan is preparing to leave to go back and begin another torture session in Hell, God asks Satan a question.

He asks, of all those people he has thrown out of Heaven, “Why is it when it comes to believing in me there are so many fights, but when it comes to believing in you They are all unanimous?”

Many people act as though belief in God is a choice. I highly disagree. I cannot believe in God becuase I just can't. I cannot believe in God any more than I can believe in big foot. My mind simply will not let me believe in God. It's not my choice, it's what it is.

Christians claim their religion to be correct:

They say the Bible is accurate. Ofcourse the Bible could have been a made up story or it could be the words of God.

How do Christians know for sure?

They have faith in God.

Where does faith come from?

They can feel a relationship with God.

How can they know for sure they are not imagining?

They pray and some issues are resolved thus exciting them; This will lead them to conclude God is real which indeed validates the Bible for them.

Christians fail to acknowledge the fact that prayers are not actually answered. In fact coincidences happen in every religion, even though they look like miracles!
That is, if you had a problem that needed a miracle to resolve it; praying or not would have played out the same result!

So it is concluded that Christians have their base of belief due to prayers believed to be answered.

Should we tolerate religious stonings, burning at the stake, molesting little boys, torture, wars, all done in the name of religion? Could it have been possible without the generous donations from the millions that have received "spiritual comfort"? If you donate money to the KKK, but don't actually hang anyone yourself, aren't you a little bit guilty of a crime against humanity?

Yeah, I wouldn't be suprised if I didn't get any answers to this question. After all, a lot of people have never even heard of stress to the soul/sprit. Which, if you ask me, is kinda pathetic.
But anyways, if any one knows how to relieve this kind of stress, then PLEASE let me know!
Thank you! ^-^

Large scale evolution is only a hypothesis and a poor one at that. Evidence against it and for a created existence makes much better sense. Swiss scientist Charles Guye calculated the possibility of one protein (not the 239 needed to produce a living cell) being spontaneously produced, at 1 in 10 to the 134th power. That is if you happened (by a miracle shall I suggest) to have all the necessary amino-acids present to begin with. That number represents all the fundamental partials in the universe. The odds of one cell just popping up out of nowhere are 1 in 10 to the137,915.28th power. That is why biologist Edwin Conklin said, “The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop.”

Look at any system in nature and the complexity is so overwhelming that the honest observer will come to the only reasonable conclusion: something created this world. I have read and listened to people like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens and the only evidence they display is their hate, venom and disdain for Christians and God. There arguments are circular foolishness with no basis because there is no basis.
