In Mark 12:28-29 Jesus Say:
28] And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
[29] And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

If he was God why didn't he said I am God?!
be he said OUR God

and why didn't he say like what is written in 1John 5:7
which was not what Jesus said.

[7] For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Is it safe to worship the ancient powers?

Have any neopagans and wiccans and others ever considered that it might be a better thing to let certain of the ancient powers and spirits and daimons quietly fade into oblivion rather than disturb them?

I believe that the spirit realm occupies the same space as does this physical realm but is moving faster than the speed of light therefore we can not see this spirit world and it's occupants which are our gardian Angels, the fallen angels and all demons but they can see us because to them we are moving at a snails pace so these fallen angels and damons spend all their time manipulating scenarios in their relentless effort to set us up for disasters, and our garudian Angels are there to remove or guide us away from these setups...I have not read this exactly in the Bible, its only what I have concluded...What say you to this theory ?

Different dictionaries will suggest slightly different definitions for the term “curse word” but what they all boil down to is this: “A curse word is any offensive, obscene and/or profane word, generally used to place emphasis or to express anger.” However, with every discovered definition came a problem. Firstly, who is it that decides whether or not the word is offensive, obscene and/or profane? Consider the following sentence:

"Need a hand with any of this sh*t?"

In this sentence the speaker is offering his/her assistance, but the recipient may conceive the speaker’s offer as being obscene due to the fact that the word ‘sh*t’ was used instead of ‘items’; ‘sh*t’ being perceived as a “curse word”. The sentence was regarded as being offensive, obscene and/or profane from the point of view of the recipient but not the speaker because of a single word.

I understand your problem with those that force religion on you. But if you feel so secure in your faith that there is not "God," why do you need to blast those who have hope?

Lots of us came from a religious background and went to church, the whole 9 yards. I was wondering if you guys think an Atheist fellowship would go over well?? No, it wouldn't have songs and prayer and all that, but would be a great time to reflect on the state of the world and enjoy coffee and doughnuts with fellow Atheists. Just curious...

The bible obviously predicts a sphere earth but why were Christians arresting Galileo for saying that the earth was a Sphere earth? I also have reason to believe that the Church killed anyone for not thinking the world was flat? Christians, was your bible edited?

No atheists, I am an agnostic wanting to convert to Christianity

In Islam it is believed that Ismail , the son of Abraham, is sacrificed, but in Christianity it is Issac who is sacrificed. If this issue is resolved there will be total peace in this world.

I have full faith in God. I had a debate with my friend who is an atheist.
He asked me " why do people get diseases if there is God?"
Then i said " it may be the punishment that God gives them for the sins and ill-deeds they do"
Then he tricked me by asking " why do some newborn babies have diseases and why do some newborn babies die due to asphxia and other diseases? do these newborn babies do sins and ill deeds??"
i couldnt answer him. what should i tell him?. your views please..

What are they for you? are they delusions, messages from 'god', noise, miscellaneous brain chatter, convenient symbolic language from the subconsciousness...

other than merely 'experiences', what are they as they apply to you personally?

that's why he/she is bringing the "good news" to you, and at the same time condemns you and the others to hell?

isn't that hypocrisy at its best being revealed to your face by these Bible-fundies?

I have not done thorough study by any means and perhaps this is a bit of a stretch. Is it possible that the Muslim faith will usher in the Hidden Imam who will bring forth the antichrist? It all seems to fit; their end times with our end times that is. Their end times states that the Hidden Imam (12th Imam) will usher in "Jesus" who will confront the Jews and the Christians and tell them they were wrong via the sword.

The Christian's antichrist will be ushered in by a false prophet and tell Christians they are wrong and kill them for not conforming by beheading (see rev 20:4) The muslims are currently beheading westerners in their faith.

What are your thoughts on this? Am I crazy? Should I go to sleep? Agree its possible?

It says in Corinthians, that: "unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom?" Not bla bla, adulterers etc...

"...nor greedy persons"

Greedy persons???


I always wince when religionists who live in the so-called developed world (North America for instance) claim that 'greed' will stop *other* people going to 'heaven'.

Do they literally think that 'greed' is having 2 cars, 2 computers, countless upgraded cell phones, electric hair-straighteners, curlers, leaf-blowers, 4-foot wide refrigerators and a tumble drier in each household (in a hot climate also!), oh, with AC running 24/7?

Or do they think that 'greed' is having one bowl of rice more than you normally would, or earning 2 dollars a day instead of 1?

What do you think?

The GOD guided us in HOLY QURAN with many repeative messages but why some people don't pry the god and are going to bad way?

for example in west and east contries there are many atheist people that don't pray god .

In west countries people live with pet and animal like dog .
In holy quran we read that the pig and dog is dirty and drinking alcheholic material and adict material is so bad and mixing men and women in beaches and parties without sexual cover .

but why people are going to wrong way?

The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Revelation 20:13

so in a way yes people will go to hell but all will be let out.
but than it says they will be judged to what they have done..does that mean they could go back?

I also have heard that the Old testament hell is different than the New Testament hell?

I want to astral project, I have tried meditation to do it many times, and still have yet to succeed.

Does Anybody know a Link that they may send me which I can perhaps listen to some sort of hemi-sync sound that will induce an out of body experience?

If so, and if you dont wish to let it out to anyone else. Go to my profile and send it to me through a messege. But if there is no problem having the link shown , then feel free to post it in the answers area.

I dont have a job, so I dont have money to buy one of those cd's that is sold on websites.

so if it is Free only.

For reasons that are personal, I REALLY wish to experience astral projection.

Can anyone be of help? can anyone send me a link ?
