Religion & Spirituality - 25 November 2007

My whole family is Catholic and I can't see myself as a Catholic.
My sister and her husband are Christians and my family has really not accepted it yet, but she has teached me so much about it that I changed a lot .

My Aunt and her family are Jehovah witnesses, and while I lived with them for 3 months, they have really made me feel comfortable and I want to learn more.

i AM IN BETWEEN CHRISTIANITY AND JEHOVAH WITNESS. I was without none for a very long time untill this last few days, I felt really lonely and actually dont have anyone to talk to. My sister and Aunt have told me I actually need god(Jehovah) and I want to so bad but Im scarred to fall back, and be seen as a hyprocit. I just need some advice thank you

gravity says the earth formed after the sun - this is in direct contradiction to the bible - gravity is false.

Matthew 16:27 and 28

Jesus said he will come in the glory of this father, and he will reward every man according to his works; and there would be some standing there listening to him that would not die until they see him coming in his kingdom, with his angels.

All the people who were in his audience are long dead and gone and he has not returned.

What? No he was not talking about the transfiguration, because only his disciples saw that -- and he was not coming with his angels.

This was Jesus' most famous false prophecy. Anyone care to comment? I'm asking this question on Yahoo-Answers, and on two other forums, and I'm compiling all serious answers, and I thank all who respond.

For correlating passages see also Matthew 23:36

Also Mark 9:1 and Mark 13:30

Luke 9:27 and Luke 21:32

Okay, I have a Bible project to do on Habakkuk, and I can't seem to find a "visual" to show my class, I'm supposed to present it tommorow.

It can be anything from a drawing, to a diagram, or video. Any idea you guys?

I've looked on youtube for some videos on the book, but nothing seems to fit well.

Thanks,
Bella.

I thought people became atheists because of the acquisition of knowledge based on the discovey of facts that dispute the bible or other sources.

So my friend has a 2 year old and decided that they are not going to celebrate halloween because it goes against her family's beliefs, but the other day she came crying to me because she thought she was pregnant again, she's not married. What the crap dude?

did He teach each one different things from the other? After He taught them, were they supposed to spread and teach the one faith or could they interpret it how they wanted and teach that version to others? Getting my drift?

10 points goes to the one who actually answers the question and doesn't dance around it.

I've always wanted to know if they were normally democrats or republicans because I'm aware there's a denomination of Jewish that is called Jewish Conservative. Just wondering.

Sorry to upset you, none believers
but have you seen some of the questions being asked
over a period
You accuse us as simples in believing in fairy tales
but you don't help your arguments, in your fashion of questions
You boast in your learning, and common sense 'but really'
I know some of you are well educated and sensible
but where are you. and how come you allow those small minded few' to make blaspemous silly statements,with no sensible jargon,
I hope you can understand,
Yes we have them' as well,

I asked this question earlier-
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20071124225656AAPBEZx

I picked a best that had information about justification vs salvation... and it made me think of something- what is salvation, really?

So what is salvation to you?

(And, please, nice thoughts only- no mean stuff toward other answers, thanks!)

this is not ment for a fight, just wondering. i would get a little offended when some one would say "happy holladays" real offended when i would hear "merry Xmas" to the point i would say "ba humbug" amungst other things.

To me its "Merry Christmas"
the celabration of the birth of Jesus.

so, the question is, because i am curious, as to how many pagan rituals have infiltrated Christmas? And who´s bright idea was it to take Christ out of Christmas and put an X?

another question,

How would you feel if some one crashed your birthday party and said, "you are no longer invited" and on your cake, takes your name out and puts a big X?

I am just wondering? asking where the X came from and why its such a crime to say

"MERRY CHRISTMAS"

I'm an atheist and have never had an adverse reaction from anyone if ever the issue came up. Admittedly it is extremely rare for that to happen.
I was wondering if anyone had had a bad reaction when they mentioned it.

Isaiah 40:22 http://bibleresources.bible.com/passagesearchresults.php?passage1=isaiah+40%3A22&version1=9
says:
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in"
--2600 years ago this scriptures was written saying that the earth is circle. It has proven by men not a while ago.

Job 26:7
http://bibleresources.bible.com/passagesearchresults.php?passage1=Job+26%3A7&version1=9
says:
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
--3600 years ago Job wrote that the earth is hanged upon nothing or suspended on an empty space. not a while ago men arguing if where the earth is suspended.

how Isaiah and Job knew this powerful and acurate information?

Do you ever wonder how different ours lives would be if we didn't have religion? Would it be better or worse?

Or on a different note, why do we have religion in the first place?

I am curious as I grew up in a community where it was better off to say I was Catholic rather than doubtful. I do not hate, by any means, the tradition I was brought up in. I'm just curious if it is easier to say you are Christian or Muslim or whichever in certain communities? My current community is very accepting of everything and it has influenced my choices, positively. Any perspective on this from all? Thank you and many blessings:)

as of right now I'm at a standstill with my faith, i believe there is a higher order such as a god if you will and life after death in one way or another. I have been raised a Christan in faith but recently and dating someone of another religion, I'm not saying which is right and which is wrong because honestly they both could be right, and to know which one is would bring eternal peace. i don't want to believe the wrong one and not have eternal life after death you know? how can one say a religion is the "best" or "only" one?

Should we conduct DNA sequencing of all species of snake in order to find out which was responsible for the "Fall From Grace"?

Just think: If we could isolate Satan's DNA, we could perhaps clone it and -- no, wait, forget I said that. In the wrong hands, that information could lead to the creation of weapons that would make WMDs look like Tinker Toys.

How do you know for a fact that your God isnt a evil spirit trying to turn you from the one true God? Maybe you are the onces being decieved. Satan is to come as a spirit of light, maybe he is your light and not the true God? have you ever thought of that?
