Religion & Spirituality - 1 December 2007

I was inspired by this question
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmePcy5xl46vLjzoGJ7JX0_d7BR.;_ylv=3?qid=20071201081813AAqGgnO
to ask.

If you child told you they no longer wanted to attend church, pray, or otherwise participate in the religion you are raising them in, what would you do ?

Does it depend on the age of the child ?
What if they wanted to join a completely different religion ? Would it depend on the religion ?
What if they told you they were completely atheist ? Would that be worse than joining a completely different religion.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions.

Selling Teddy Bears named after Adam (PBUH) to Muslim children from a website that is directed at Muslims.

You guys are losing the battle. Admit that Sudan is an extreme example that is not supported by 99.9% of the good Muslim people in this world, and stop making bonehead excuses about your nonexistent reverence for prophets.

The bible genealogy starts with Adam and Eve and eventually go to Moses who goes to Abraham who goes to all the Jews and them to Jesus Christ.

Doesn't the belief in the myth of Evolution prove that Genealogy wrong?

I for one am a Christian that believe that God in fact did make Adam and Eve.

Why limit God with the thinking of a scientist? Isn't that worshiping idols???

was --- "And bless this food to the nurishment of our bodies."
have always wondered where that expression came from. If the man or woman who first said or wrote that had gotten a "trade mark," or whatever it is called, on that expression and received a royality each time it was used, he would be a multimillionaire! Do you have any idea when and where it was first used?

Christians claim that Jesus acknowledged that he and God were one in the sense of nature when he says in John 10:30 "I and my father are one". Later on in John 17:21-23, Jesus refers to his followers and himself and God as one in five places. So why did they give the previous "one" a different meaning from the other five "ones?

Is there a time-gap b/wn one birth and the next ? If so, how many years ? How long do spirits take to get another life after death ? B'cos if the re-birth would have been immediate, then the Psychics would not have been able to 'converse' with them. If anybody out here in this Yahoo Q & A Forum can help me solve the mystery of this paranormal phenomenon, please do.

First of all i say again i am advertising for religions because i dont care about religions
I am not offending anyone ,it is just an argument
But you say that you are sure that God deosnt exist
but are you 100% sure? of course no becasue no one knows the absolute truth
so lets say that there 1% chance that God exists
wouldnt it be worth it to seek God?
Because if u dont believe god then you know that you will die and that's it
but what the 1% chance was right,and God was real and you find out that you wasted your time on earth and you miss the chance to be with God for eternity
especially that God,for the one who say that we will not folllow God and stay in Fear, loves us and he wants us to love him
and all his laws bring us life
as i said before love is life ,love ur enemy is life so
i was wondering ,and please dont take it as an offence or as i am defying you,why do you honestly refuse God

Not literally crapped on. A couple years ago, while I was dating a Jewish guy, we rode around the city and gave out sandwiches to homeless people. One guy shouted at me to shove the sandwich "up my @ss". I was never the same again...

If you phrase anything that you believe to be true in the right way, you can make it sound silly. It comes down to how you play around with words.

Here's an example:

Atheists believe that bananas are our relatives. This IS a fact. Evolution states that every single living thing is indirectly related to everything else because we all came from a single celled ancestor.

This sentence makes evolution seem silly regardless of whether or not it is true.

The same thing goes for Christianity.

The fact remains though that the Bible is TRUE. If God is all powerful, then who says he couldn't turn a woman into salt, or provide a way for the other miracles?

These miracles were historical events. They HAPPENED.

All you need is faith to believe.

Agree?

John, the only "verily verily" gospel account, mentions two resurrections of "Jesus" in John 5; And the latter of twain is notably "of damnation", for some only. However Christ speaks of one resurrection, of all, at the last day, and not to damnation (law), but unto salvation (grace).

So then, should we even consider two resurrections, if the latter is of damnation; Especially if told many times having respect of persons (partiality) is neither good nor of God?

What about Jesus is Son of man, should repent: Numbers 23:19? What about Jesus is standing right on high, but Christ is seated right and higher than the heavens on high? What about twice fallen requires twice risen for reconciliation? What about CJ is mirrorly the reverse of JC? What about false Christs shall arise to DECEIVE, if possible? What about appearances can be deceiving, so judge not after appearances, but judge righteous judgment (grace judgment)?
