Religion & Spirituality - 27 November 2007

Assuming heaven is an actual place you go to when you die, a real kingdom (I myself do not believe, so Atheists please go with the 'assuming' part, rather than argue it's not), what do you think you are likely to find there?

Well, of course He wasn't. So what of all the other people who suffered the same horrible fate for no reason except that they lived under a bloodthirsty government? I mean, I guess it wouldn't be so bad if you knew you were saving all of mankind from eternal damnation, but to go through all of that for nothing and now be completely forgotten? That must suck.

Your thoughts?

But don't I have just as much right to say that as others have to say there IS a god?

I know what Freyja is like because she came to me the other night, but what about Thor and Odin? Isn't Thor the creator of all things? Then he's the top God of the pantheon?

What roll does Odin play? Tell me about their personalities if you can. Thanks.

2 Nephi 25:23 says "For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do"

but, 1 Nephi 3:7 says, "For I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them"?


1 Nephi 3:7 says, "For I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them"

If God gives a way to obey EVERY command, how can you say you have done EVERYTHING YOU CAN if you have not obeyed a command?

I mean this with all respect and no argument is intended... It is something I have often wondered about.

How can you have hope of Eternal Life if you have ever sinned, when God has made a way for you to obey.

Pagans believe in evolution, created by the Earth (Mother Nature. I think this is a big one, you would have to agree we were created by Nature through evolution. So is Gaia the closest you would come to believing in any form of deity?)

Pagans don't believe in Deity in the form of a Big Angry Sky Pixie, but that we are God/dess ourselves. We don't "worship" any deity, we are not lesser beings. If anything we see deity as kin and equals.

We take responsibility for our own actions, no Sky Pixie or Boogey man made us do it!
No such thing as Hell, no judgement except from our own morals and empathy.

Its funny, thinking about it. Athiests and Polythiests having things in common.

......as he was led to be crucified?
How could such hard hearted men not understand that THIS was God come down to man.
"Even as He hung in torment and terrible suffering, they mocked, him and spat on Him. Most hated him vehemently."
"...falsely accused and condemned, beaten, scourged, mocked and humiliated."
"They mocked and reviled Jesus, spit in His face, then blindfolded Him and beat Him asking Him to prophesy who had hit Him (Mark 14:65; Luke 22:63-65)."

Do people STILL commit these same despicable acts today?

I see mocking questions like this all the time from people that seem to hate Him:
"If I hear voices am I a prophet too?"
"Why would God intelligently design a place that you would need to be saved from?"
"Jesus said you can beat women with a rod till they are unconsious ?"
"Did JESUS CHRIST have a GAY relationship with Apostle JOHN?"
"Jesus was a sinner?"

I suppose "they" don't know what they're doing.

I am sure people thought long ago that we would never be able to walk on the moon and we did. Surly one day we would be able to create a vehicle to travle to heaven or whatever.

I guess I'd like to end the growing 'shadow hours' on a warm note. Has anything really touched you from another's faith or presence or words that you'd like to comment about? Many blessings!

I know this will get deleted very quickly but I just want to see if religious people have considered the fact that both of these two people might have been very good con-artists.
Its a possibility.

..... do you think they are weak, or seeking attention? I have just learned that my only living son is critically ill. I would give anything to trade places with him and let his suffering be my own. I am a Christian, and this has not shaken my faith one bit, but I am not going to neglect to seek out every medical option available for him. Call me a fool for praying to my Lord, but I will pray all the harder. I am likely not going to be answering questions for a time, but will attempt to keep in touch with personal mail.

People in the 21st Century should just say *Oh well I don't really like this passage but I like this one so I will do this one and I will still be a follower of GOD's truth, but since Man wrote the Bible maybe I
should just forget the entire bible and just do my own thing as long as I don't hurt anyone else and obey society's laws.

But maybe I should say I'm a Christian and change scripture around to suit my lifestyle wants and needs because it needs a new Hip Slick and Groovy 2007 edition for me?

Get real people We are all Sinners in GOD's eyes GOD does not have to serve you, *YOU* need to serve GOD and if you don't want to then that's fine, take your act and hit the road, yes that sounds harsh but should christians just sit back like mousey pincushions, while people are trying to change the Holy Bible the one that millions are trying to live by?

If you don't like what is written in the Bible fine that is your GOD given free will right, but who has the right to change it?

I am a very Christian woman who depends on God daily just for mere existence. I had competitors for my husband, still do, who are more attractive and more fun. Is there something about being a very spiritual woman that is more of a turnon for men rather than just your average woman ?

To dare say there is no god at all how do they live with themselves? are they that hopeless? Imagine there is a god and if you dont believe there is a price to pay, how would you feel then ''Athiests''? You have no right to say there is no god indefinitely and I feel sorry for you because you are doing a diservice to yourself.

So, I'm on the road to Baptism. But now I'm having, like panic attack doubts because everyone keeps telling me I'm being brainwashed and I'm stupid. I really love the religion. It is so beautiful and makes perfect Biblical sense, I just, I dunno. Want an opinion about a life long commitment I'm about to make.

Everytime I ask a Mormon if they're mad at me, they always say, "I'm not mad." What is that suppose to mean? It's like saying you're not human. Everyone gets mad. Are they just supressing their feelings?

Is this true....
Dr. Dobson & CBS Response
Apparently we are to be allowed to watch TV
programs that use every foul word in the English
language, but not the word "God." It will only
take a minute to read this and see if you think
you should send it out
DR. DOBSON'S PLEA FOR ACTION
CBS discontinued "Touched by an Angel" for using
the word God in every program. Madeline Murray
O'Hare, an atheist, successfully managed to
eliminate the use of Bible reading from public
schools a few years ago.
Now her organization has been granted a federal
hearing on the same subject by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Washington , DC .
Their petition, Number 2493, would ultimately pave
the way to stop the reading of the gospel, our Lord
and Savior, on the airwaves of America .
They got 287,000 signatures to back their stand!
If this attempt is successful, all Sunday worship
services being broadcast on the radio or by
television will be stopped
