Religion & Spirituality - 17 November 2007

Anything?...

-I don't know of any accounts of Jesus having formal weekly meetings.
-He never mixed meat and dairy and never said anything about changing this after his sacrifice was made.
-He also celebrated Jewish holy days and never mentioned that it would be okay to drop these...
-Oh, and of course he advocated giving up all of one's possessions...
-He never indicated that the event of his own birth was particularly important.
-He never had any involvement in "speaking in tongues".
-He never so much as mentioned the word "saint".
-He implies divorce should be forbidden.
-He never mentioned any rapture, nor does he ever actually mention coming back.

I'm not even aware that Jesus is ever recorded to have said that Gentiles could get into heaven...

So, what did come from him directly that lasts today?...

Well, I know maybe some or a few do, but the majority of them don't.

Also, isn't Christmas a secular/commercial holiday (as people say it is)? Like it isn't religious (not celebrating Jesus' birthday), which means anybody can celebrate it.

So, Muslims and Jews, what are your reasons for NOT celebrating Christmas?

Thank you :)

Whenever I listen to music, I start to dance and when I dance something happens to me. I feel like someones watching me. I feel so relaxed and so happy about myself. I cant see them but I know they are their. I feel like they're cheering me on, maybe even dancing with me. I dont know how to explain it.... hmm... You know whenever you sing in the shower? You feel like your on a stage or you have the best voice in the world!! Well thats what it feels like when I think someone is watching me.

Could someone actually be watching me or is this just what happends when you become really relaxed?

A fair look at the evidence shows that humans are optimized for eating exclusively plant foods, and not meat.

Human anatomy: We're most similar to other herbivores, and drastically different from carnivores.

Longevity & health: The more meat we eat, the sicker we get. Meat is poison to us. It's the primary reason we get heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, and every other major degenerative disease. If eating meat were natural, it wouldn't destroy our health.

Physical performance: People have much better endurance when they don't eat meat -- whether they're professional athletes or not.

There are three types of animals

Meat Eaters
Plant Eaters
Fruit Eaters

Meat eaters have sharp teeth (Canine teeth) to pierce tough hide and to spear and tear flesh
Plant and Fruit Eaters have Molars (flat, back teeth) for grinding their food.

Humans have more Molar teeth however also have 4 sharp teeth’s.

Matthew 15:21 to 28 tells the story of a non Jewish woman asking for help , Jesus appears to have changed his mind from not wanting to help her to helping her.
This goes against Jewish traditions cureing a gentile.
Was Jesus discovering his own beliefs ?

Mathew 20:19 "and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!"

Mark 10:33 "We are going up to Jerusalem," he said, "and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles."

Luke 10:32 "He will be handed over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him, spit on him, flog him and kill him."

I just asked a question about how christians see themselves and if they see themselves as the original religion then how any other group can ask them how they ripped off their stories or their religion becasue according to them, the other group was the one that ripped off their stories and broke off of their original religion that started with Adam and Eve,
So many people went off on how christianity wasnt the first religion and how people were here before christianity.

Do you people not get that according to christians (and I am not saying this is right or wrong) there wasnt a religion before them becasue their religion didnt start at Christ. It started at Adam and Eve? Christians believe their religion started at the beginning of the earth and was just changed a bit when Christ came. They werent called christians in Old Testament times, but Christians consider their church and religion now to be just a continuation of the Old Testament church of God.

I think if I knew a gay couple named Adam and Steve in real life I would feel very lucky.

Why are people taught that if you don't know Jesus then you lead a hollow life.
They never question the fact that Jesus was Jewish not a Christian
Or that Christianity was law according to politicians.


Hooray for Talib!

ok i would like you to please please try your best at this question! ok well a while ago when i was kind of little i was thinking about this person in my head. it was sort of like she was my imaginary friend. one day she told me her name was norah and she showed me exactly how to spell it (in my mind) after that, she was like my best friend. we would always talk to each other. sometimes it seems like she gives me advice. do u think she could acually be my spirital guide? i still have her in my mind sometimes but not as much. i went to a website that told how to communicate with them and i tried talking and everything but there was no answer. so do u think she could be?

I find it odd that I can trigger day dreams so strong that I can feel whatever I am enteracting with in them. Heat, cold, carresses, all parts of it, just as real as if I were really there. But I have been told by many, that I am foolish to enjoy something that is obviously not real. I just can't help but to manipulate my personal reality to a way that I see fit, is this wrong? Do you want, or would you reject being able to do this?

Christians believe that their religion extends to when the earth was first created.
No they werent called Christians, that name wasnt applied till way after Christ. But the Old Testament extends to before the egyptians, back to Adam and Eve. The Old Testament people of Gods church were part of the same church that christians claim they aer a part of. Just because their name changed and the group splintered from each other at Christ doesnt mean they dont believe they arent part of one continual group that extends to the beginning of the earth.

I dont get why people ask questions like, dont you realize you just stole things from the people that were here before you or that questino about creationism that claims there was a diff creation story before christianity.

According to christianity, there werent people before their religion because their religion started at Adam and Eve. It didnt start at Christ.
