Religion & Spirituality - 11 November 2007

okay, so today at church in the junior high service we had a very emotinal and intense service. we talked about all the problems we had in life and how to just lay them in the hands of God. We watched scenes from "The Passion of the Christ" and the part where Jesus was crucified. But the thing I don't understand that I've always been pondering is why did God send His Son and not Himself instead?

Synchronicities are people, places or events that your soul attracts into your life to help you evolve to higher consciousness or to place emphasis on something going on in your life. According to the author of the “The Road Less Traveled” synchronicities are phenomena that serve to nurture -support, protect and enhance- human life and spiritual growth. Not all synchronicities are positive. Sometimes they create major learning lessons. Each day we encounter meaningful coincidences, synchronicities that we have attracted. It is why we are here. It is how our reality works and how God works in our lives.

If God says u must be perfect to be in heaven with him isn't it logical to say that, sense most people don't die perfect, there is a place where they must be purged of there imperfections???

For this discussion, let us say their is a being we call god.
How do we know he is really all powerful and that created the world?
It’s like the wizard of oz.
So he said he is all powerful and that created the world.
I can say that, doesn’t make it the truth?

Suppose I lived a good religious life according to whatever religion you (the reader) belongs to. Now god knows evereything right? And he knows that I am going to die tomorrow, but he also knows that if I remain alive, I will, in 2 years, become an extremist and kill hundreds of innocent people. Does god allow me into heaven or not?

Disclaimer:If you are going to judge me , call me names , or tell me that/god dont exist then please just click on other question and save yourself the time, i respect your beliefs , and i expect the same.

I was reading that Buddhists dont believe in a god , that the buddha is enough , but i wonder if one can break the rule and still believe in a god, while doing all the Buddhists practices ?

Let's say there is no dispute that it is THE one and only god, and for arguments sake, let's say the religion god endorses is Hinduism.

Would you have the humility to abandon everything you've believed all your life, apologize to all the Hindus you've offended, and dutifully switch to Hinduism?

How about Islam?

Buddhism?

Shinto?

Sun worship?

At some point, don't you scratch your head and think, "billions of people don't agree with my beliefs... maybe there's something I'm missing?"

if God created us then does that mean he created the dinosaurs that we've discovered, the stars, the planets, and the Universe too? if he exists then why is there wars, diformed children and adults, starving children, and suffering? why is he watching us suffer? shouldn't he do something to help us? then God must not exist because he isn't doing anything about it to help the people he created. and there should be proof he exists. right?

There's really no justification for that. I have morals. Are you saying my morals are wrong?
