Religion & Spirituality - 16 October 2007

This comes from a commentary on a Bible verse and I'm going to leave the verse out because I want to hear in your own words what this means to you in your daily Christian walk. I love to read your answers as each of us sees the world thru different eyes and it enlightens me so often to hear what others think so thank you ahead of time.

Every single Muslim worldwide was asked... From America to China, from Brazil to Tunisia, from France to Sudan... I think it proves a lot...

PS Muslims that say, they weren't asked, are lying!!!

I believe it is symbolic. The reason I think so is because of this: how can baptism literally wash away sin? We are born with it, you can not get rid of it. The only way is to be saved, to say this would be saying that once baptised we don't sin anymore? Am I right? That is why I believe we say it is symbolic. But just open for what you feel also, because I really don't know the other versions out there.

In fact, he promised he would do even greater things
through us than he did himself because he is now at the Father's
side helping us! (See John 14:12-14.)

I am writing as I was served with divorce papers last Thursday. This deeply saddens me. More than anything, I want to reconcile our marriage. We have a beautiful baby girl with another due in January. I have fear that I am losing my whole family due to this. This is taking a huge toll on me both spiritually and financially. I want nothing more than to prove to my wife and her family (who is orchestrating much of this), that I am on a good path to finding God and providing a future for us. The papers state that I would need to be present in court by the 23rd of this month. My daughter’s first birthday is today and I’m unable to speak to or see her. And it appears that she is not allowing me any rights to be involved in the pregnancy or birth of our 2nd daughter. I suppose my question is this: Can the courts request mediation or counseling in Texas to see if we can work this out? 6 months, a year…it doesn’t matter. I would just love to have ample time to prove myself to my wife.

Why not just make Jesus spontaneously materialize on this earth instead? Why go through the hassle of magically impregnating a woman, when he could just as magically make Jesus spontaneously appear as a man or child?

If his birth was a miracle which nobody saw, why perform the miracle in this way instead of in a public way where everyone could witness it?

Can't we all just get along instead of arguing about whose church is the right one? If we just picked mine and then we could move on in peace, love and harmony.

Mark 9:36-37He put a child in the middle of the room. Then, cradling the little one in his arms, he said, "Whoever embraces one of these children as I do embraces me, and far more than me—God who sent me." .......or:
36 Then he put a little child among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, 37 “Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf[a] welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes not only me but also my Father who sent me.”

Please help. Recently we were reading the New Testament in church. It said in Corinthians-

'11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
11:6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.'

But when I shaved my wife's head in her sleep for not wearing a scarf or hat in church or when she prayed, she really got cranky and I just can't understand why. I mean, surely I'm saving her from Hell?

Please help.

"Where the rippling waters go, cast a stone, the truth to know.
When you have and hold a need, harken not to other's greed.
With a fool no seasons spend, or be counted as his friend.
Merry meet and merry part, bright the cheeks and warm the heart.
Mind the Threefold Law you should, three times bad and three times good.
When misfortune is enow, wear the blue star on your brow.
True in love you must ever be, lest their love be false to thee.
These words the Wiccan Rede fulfll: An it harm none, do what you will."
-Wiccan Rede (in part)

Namaste

Peace and Love

This comes from a Catholic elementary school. Kids were asked questions about the Old and New Testaments. They have not been retouched or corrected (i.e., incorrect spelling has been left in.)... Enjoy!

Moses died before he ever reached Canada. Then Joshua led the hebrews in the battle of Geritol.

David was a hebrew king skilled at playing the liar. he fought with the Finklesteins, a race of people who lived in Biblical times.

The people who followed the lord were called the 12 decibels. The epistles were the wives of the apostles.

Solomon, one of David's sons, had 300 wives and 700 porcupines.

One of the oppossums was St. Matthew who was also a taximan.

The Egyptians were all drowned in the dessert. Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten ammendments.

Kids say the funniest things don't they?

True believers who wish to put all their faith in the Bible are faced with three problems: (1) How can one know which books are "inspired" and should be part of the scriptural canon? (2) How can one know which one — if any — of the existing contradictory manuscripts (MSS) of a given book preserves the "true" wording? (3) Assuming that one has the correct manuscript (MS) of a given book, how can one know what the particular Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic words mean? As we shall see, there is no way these questions can be answered with absolute certainty. At best, believers must trust to the probabilities — not certainties — that arise from a scientific investigation of the facts surrounding the biblical texts and traditions. Believers will have to face the fact that there is no way at all to know which Bible to believe — let alone what to believe in it. Believers still have to put their "faith" in other human beings.
