Religion & Spirituality - 15 November 2007

Say for example the claim that God created life on Earth. All you would have to do is show that life arose from inanimate matter in a sterile environment with no outside interference or manipulation. Why is that so hard to do?

Vs 9. (NIV) But if they cannot control themselves themselves, they should marry for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

But with if you cannot control yourself and it might not be God's will for you to get married?

I know this question seems simple and everything but it's just what's on my mind.

I seen a question answered only by jesussaves, and primoa, and instantly the theatre masks of "comedy" and "tragedy" came to mind...

I think primoa fits the "comedy" better, and jesussaves fits the "tragedy"...just a personal opinion...

if your married did you marry in a church?
If your not married but plan to, are you opposed to getting married in a church?

I'm not sure what I am anymore lol but I've thought about alot of religions, i was brought up Christian. However even though my parents wanted me to get married in a church, we're getting married at a country club with my childhood pastor performing the ceremony.

My fiance who is atheist, said he would get married in a church it doesn't matter to him.

What about all of you?

What are you opinions on the recent change of text in the Book of Mormon?

It used to say...

"After thousands of years, all were destroyed except the Lamanites, and they are the PRINCIPAL ancestors of the American Indians.”


Now it says....
“After thousands of years, all were destroyed except the Lamanites, and they are AMOUNG the ancestors of the American Indians.”


The interesting thing is this change is not published anywhere. Additionally, the new Doubleday Edition still lists itself as a first edition. I am no publisher, but my understanding was when you made changes, you listed it as a second, third, etc. edition. The second edition also indicates that it is still first printing, which would be impossible since the change was made.

In the non-profit Catholic Church where child abuse is legal, isn't heretic burning (capital punishment using kangaroo trials) legal too?

The Protestants are acting like the Jews during WWII, aren't they?

Shouldn't Hitler and the Italian Pope be allowed to do what they want since both are politicians and above the laws of God and the United Nations?

Prayerfully read

Romans 4
The Faith of Abraham
Abraham was, humanly speaking, the founder of our Jewish nation. What did he discover about being made right with God? 2 If his good deeds had made him acceptable to God, he would have had something to boast about. But that was not God’s way. 3 For the Scriptures tell us, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”[a]

4 When people work, their wages are not a gift, but something they have earned. 5 But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners. 6 David also spoke of this when he described the happiness of those who are declared righteous without working for it:

7 “Oh, what joy for those
whose disobedience is forgiven,
whose sins are put out of sight.
8 Yes, what joy for those
whose record the Lord has cleared of sin.”[b]

9 Now, is this blessing only for the Jews, or is it also for uncircumcised Gentiles?[c] Well, we have been saying that Abraham was counted as righteous by God because of his faith. 10 But how did this happen? Was he counted as righteous only after he was circumcised, or was it before he was circumcised? Clearly, God accepted Abraham before he was circumcised!

11 Circumcision was a sign that Abraham already had faith and that God had already accepted him and declared him to be righteous—even before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the spiritual father of those who have faith but have not been circumcised. They are counted as righteous because of their faith. 12 And Abraham is also the spiritual father of those who have been circumcised, but only if they have the same kind of faith Abraham had before he was circumcised.

13 Clearly, God’s promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God’s law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith. 14 If God’s promise is only for those who obey the law, then faith is not necessary and the promise is pointless. 15 For the law always brings punishment on those who try to obey it. (The only way to avoid breaking the law is to have no law to break!)

16 So the promise is received by faith. It is given as a free gift. And we are all certain to receive it, whether or not we live according to the law of Moses, if we have faith like Abraham’s. For Abraham is the father of all who believe. 17 That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.”[d] This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing.

18 Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!”[e] 19 And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb.

20 Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. 21 He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. 22 And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous. 23 And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn’t just for Abraham’s benefit. It was recorded 24 for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25 He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God.

How many people think we have a Democracy in the USA?

It is not written anywhere in the constitution. The founding fathers made sure of that. While holding the meetings to write the constitution (60ish people) there was a motion to start the meetings with a prayer, only 4 people supported it and the motion died. They knew it then, why can't people understand that now?

People fool themselves if they believe we will not have to answer before God if we vote for an abortionist candidate.

Further, the first amendment shows we have the right of free exercise of religion. If aspects of that religion entail following the advice of our church elders, there should be no legal problem.

A ranking of who is held culpable in abortion from most to least:

The doctor/midwife who performs
the nurses/assistants/anesthesiologist
the pro-abortion politicians/NGOs
the people that vote/support them

The victims of abortion:
the mother
the child

And none of this "render unto ceaser" crap; that's taxes only...

The universe is NOT infinite (it's "finite yet unbounded" - Einstein 1954) so why does the "creator" of the universe have to be infinite? As an example all Creationists will just love, a watch is finite and the watchmaker is finite too. If a watch was infinitely large, that would be a different story, but it's not!

People think that 120 years spoken in the Bible has to do the life span of mankind. But that can not be.

The only passage that deals with life span is found in Psalm 90:10.

God gave a precise time about the judgement of the Flood. Noah was warned, when he was 480 years. The flood occurred in 600 year of Noah, did you know?
