Read from 1 Tim 4:1 KJV
1.Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2. Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3. FORBIDDING TO MARRY, and commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving OF THEM WHICH BELIEVE AND KNOW THE TRUTH

So what are your opinions on this?? Priests being forbidden to marry, does this show that they do not know the truth? I am not meaning to be disrespectful, and I am aware of Paul saying that in HIS opinion it was not the best for a man to marry.... Anyway, I just want your fair opinions ~ and keep it nice please!!

I've recently started going to church again, and have bounced around from various different ones trying to find the right place.
I think that personal spiritual beliefs are what's most important, so why is it that churches give people the option to officially "join" them? There are classes one has to take in order to become members.
What's the point of this, and is it biblical?

Thanks.

I have talked about this before; me and probably only a few thousand others have this hope, it's based more on hope than belief, I guess, that everyone who ever existed will one day go to Heaven.

Well regardless of whether or not it's potentially true, why do people react negatively to such an idea? The biggest counter argument being, "So you think Hitler and Stalin should go to Heaven?" Well, let me ask you this, whether you believe in a Heaven or not, if everyone went, all was forgiven, all was reconsiled, everybody was to spend the rest of time with people they loved, and even the worst of people were reformed, what would be so wrong with that?

Well, I personally think (again) it's all about the "retaliatory mind". Evil breeds a desire to punish the "evil doers", and thus, breeds more evil. It is my own suspicion that the Bible seems to make a good number of references to "Universalism", and perhaps this idea will catch on as it did 1800 years ago. (more to come in details)

Nature had it that man should be for woman and vice-versa. Taking this thesis as God's plan, does not the idea of same sex marriage a manifestation of total perversion that resulted from deliberate alteration of what was originally planned for humankind?

Have we slipped so far down on the humanity scale, where people just don't care about each other anymore?
Today in Portland,Oregon, thieves stole all four tires, off of a van, that was used to deliver' Meals On Wheels', to elderly and shut-ins.
Where is the religious influence on the communities? !t appears pretty much non existent.
In stead of news stories about robberies, and murders, why can't they give us a story about someone doing something exceptional like returning stolen money, or a wallet, or something nice for the community, just to remind us, that there are good folks out here, Somewhere?
Do these kinds of things happen in your state?
Doesn't it break your heart??

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI told Irish bishops Saturday that instances of sexual abuse committed by clergy were "egregious crimes," and urged them to urgently rebuild confidence and do whatever necessary to prevent future offenses.
In his first comments on the subject since becoming pontiff last year, Benedict said the wounds inflicted by sexual abuse "run deep." The remarks were made to bishops from Ireland where the Catholic Church has been gravely damaged by massive sex abuse scandals.
"In the exercise of your pastoral ministry, you have had to respond in recent years to many heart-rending cases of sexual abuse of minors," the pontiff said. "These are all the more tragic when the abuser is a cleric."
"The wounds caused by such acts run deep, and it is an urgent task to rebuild confidence and trust where these have been damaged," Benedict said."it is importan

Matthew 28:19 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 are instances of this. Neither of these texts says that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are coequal or coeternal or that all are God. The Scriptural evidence already presented on pages 408-412 argues against reading such thoughts into the texts.
McClintock and Strong’s Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature, though advocating the Trinity doctrine, acknowledges regarding Matthew 28:18-20: “This text, however, taken by itself, would not prove decisively either the personality of the three subjects mentioned, or their equality or divinity.” (1981 reprint, Vol. X, p. 552) Regarding other texts that also mention the three together, this Cyclopedia admits that, taken by themselves, they are “insufficient” to prove the Trinity. (Compare 1 Timothy 5:21, where God and Christ and the angels are mentioned together.)

Rather than be born of a mortal like so many other demigods pre dating Christianity?

Ex. Hercules Son of Zeus and Alcmena(Mortal),
Minos Son of Zeus and Europa(Mortal)
Achilles was the son of the mortal Peleus and the Sea Nypmh Thetis.

I mean considering that it was very common for Gods to be born of Mortals especially in Greek and Egyptian religions. I mean there are only very limited accounts of his youth(Much like other religions) and then it jumps ahead 20+ years and goes straight into what he accomplished as a man(Much like other religions). Wouldn't it have been smarter to write the character of Jesus as simply coming to earth rather than having him be born to a mortal and a God like so many other pre existing religions of the time?
