Religion & Spirituality - 28 October 2007

If we were created in His image, then he too must have emotions with Anger being one of them, He did after all flood the world once. So what is to say that God wouldn't shut us out of his Kingdom? If He is the ultmate Father, what is to say he wouldn't turn his back on us if he wasn't happy with us? I honestly think a lot of people are going to be unhappily surprised when they pass away.

I know there exists somewhat conflicting views on salvation. Is it by faith or by works? Lets try to ignore that for a moment. In Ephesians 2:8-9 it says we are saved by faith. Then in James 2:17 we are told faith without works is dead. Many people find these contradictory and I must admit to having thought a lot about this lately. The conclusion I have come to is this. Paul is teaching how one is saved, by faith. James is teaching how one who is saved should act, we should have works. It is faith that saves us and works that show that faith. What say you?

Seems to me that the False Prophets will try to induce fear in their deciples...
Being an Ex Jehovah's Witness, the fear was the Basis of my dependence on the religion..Now as a Christian I worship out of Love.

Seriously, belonging to a cult-like chruch family. Being made to be involved after realizing it's nonsense based on ancient, poorly translated scripts and codes of behavior. Being with ppl who feel if there is no other answer, its has to be "god" they cant concieve of anything else because they know of nothing else.
Any help ppl?
thanks!

Theories or probabilities why do you have such a hard time, as a whole on this site, with people that in effect are doing the same thing. Regardless of their fervent plea of being absolutely right, like many other schools of thought i.e. Newton, why do you feel it necessary to speak down to those that believes in a creator? And here is and idea for you just considers the omnipresent nature of God and Dark energy? You might be able to draw more than a few comparisons if you used an open scientific mind

I've read about him and his activities in the new York Times. I've seen him of tv. Some guy just posted a question asking for jewish views on him - he is an orthodox rabbi - and the jews who responded either really hadn't heard of him (amazing) or pretended not have,and one called the questioner a hater ("Why do you hate us so much?") - just for for asking what jews think of him! Does ANYBODY acknowledge this guy's existence here,or this another no-no topic,ie. embarrassment to jews?

I feel bad when I masturbate but im in my 30's alone and have nobody. Im too shy to meet any girl I don't even have friends.
If I don't masturbate after a few days I can't even focus because I am so aroused. Try to fight it but it's tempting to go online looking for porn and masturbating to it. Is this okay if Im single and if I want to be a Christian?

RFID chip: Radio Frequency Identification chip
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFID

Two family members are already required to carry a RFI chip on their person, as a form of employee identification; they are government employed. A third member got one inside her new passport.

Needless to say, they are not happy with this electronic device near their person, since they do not know what all it can do and because they have no say so, on the matter.

"And he Causes all both
Great and Small
Rich and Poor
Free and Bond

To receive a MARK
In Their Right Hand
or
In Their Foreheads

And That no Man
might Buy or Sell
Save he that have
the MARK

or the name of the
BEAST

or the Number of
His Name

Here is Wisdom
Let Him that
has understanding
count the number
of the BEAST

For it is
the Number of
a Man

and his
Number is
666"

-- Revelation 13:16-18

Have you heard of the flat earth society? They have a web-forum kind of like this one.

I dare you to try and convince them that they're wrong. Maybe it will you give you some insight into the nature of faith.

So why don't they accept Jesus so they can go too heaven. Or is it that they really want to go too hell. The reason they won't accept Jesus as there Savior. Why would they even want to go too hell. Don't they want to go to heaven and have peace and everlasting life. Also love! Hell is a place I wish on no one. It's a place of fire,pain,sickness,forever. I want all people to go too heaven! Not hell. But it seem's like some people just don't care and want to go too hell. It's no party in hell no fun. Its all about pain,sickness,heartache lake of fire forever, Why would a person want that for. When they can be happy,joyful,peaceful loving everlasting life in heaven. With A loving God and our King! Praying for the lost! Jesus truly loves you!

dear
RFID, which is fast becoming a part of passports and payment cards, and is widely expected to replace bar-code labels on consumer goods.RFID chips contain unique identification codes, and can be read at varying distances with special reader devices.
The Book of Revelation in the Bible forecasted events that are yet to come(Mark of the beast).

can you give your opinion on this issue and also websites that has this issue.thank you.

It is seen that some people are masquerading themselves as those belonging to a religion different from theirs and raising questions and furnishing answers .Though Pseudonymity is permissible , the assumption of names suggesting some false sense seems to be done with malicious or mischievous intentions and it should be taken care of. This board is meant to share information on the subjects concerned ,honestly and openly.and not for ambushing as taught by Muhammed in Koran to fight his enemies. This is not a cockpit .Since some members are intemperate , and take offence at people holding opinions differtnt tfrom theirs , some people assume pseudonyms.So if the list of contacts of some people are checked , they can be unmasked . Some use the board as their private channel of communtcation by hiding them from some others . This seems to go against the very pupose of this borad .the managersd of the site would do well to look into this aspect .This is a public forum for information.

they are still searching for truth and will discard scientific theories that are proven wrong.
Like JWs, they have been proven wrong repeatedly.
Yet, that is the scientific method---to continue to make up new scientific theories, until that too is discarded and proven to be untrue.

Yet those that believe in the truths of the Word of God, which does not change and has never been proven wrong,well , the scientists call them close minded.

What do you think is wrong with this picture???

Maybe that's why the two sides cannot come together. God has never felt the need to change the truth of His word. Yet scientific theories change often and as such, I say are not necessarily to be trusted. Unlike the Bible.

I asked a question about salvation and works and one person wrote in their reply

"In the verses above, it is quite clear to see that salvation is not as simple as stating that one proclaim Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. It is a nice thing to say and should be said every day, but there is more to salvation then accepting Christ as one's personal Lord and Savior."

I say being saved is exactly that easy. It says salvation consists of confessing and believing. Nothing more. Am I reading this wrong?

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Rom 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.


Side note: to the person I quoted if it annoys you let me know and I will not do it again.

I would understand why God would punish someone who willingly borrows a life from him and then squanders it or uses it for ill purposes. What I don't understand is why God decides to punish someone (everyone) who arrives here as a result of nothing more than the decision of two humans to get knocked up. What's the deal?
