Religion & Spirituality - 10 December 2007

Moses and Elijah both appeared and were talking to one another? Looks like Jesus is God of the living not the dead, which means dead as in hell.

Why are the Christians in this justifying the terrorist's actions? We Muslims say the same, and know that they are not true Muslims because they are attacking other Muslims and innocent people. So how come this guy is excused but the small percentage of Muslims who make the news are representatives for all Muslims? Aren't you guys having a double standard here?

I am an atheist, but my two older sisters are both *very* Catholic. This has caused a rift between them and me. Their faith prevents them from accepting the fact that I am an atheist, and my rational side could never accept their point of view. Should I make a false conversion just to satisfy them (knowing full well that this rift will continue indefinitely if I don't) ...?

It's for a sacraments project at school. If you have any suggestions of a contemporary film or song clip that would illustrate this, I would appreciate it.

Personally, I find it quite irritating that people believe you have to be a "christian" or of some religious affiliation to have morals. I have noticed in my Theory of Knowledge class that no matter WHAT we talk about, RELIGION is always at least ONE person's argument. I find myself annoyed and ticked off with such logic as it does not seem logical to me at all. I am an agnostic who honestly couldn't care less about religion. I get frustrated with people telling me "you need to see the light" or "you need to be touched by Jesus." I don't believe in this "light" and "Jesus" hasn't touched me for quite some time. I am a person of high morals. I know very many atheists who are VERY good people who have not done "un-Christian-like" things ever in their lives. I stopped being afraid of hell because I don't believe in hell. I can still do the right thing and not believe in religion, period. I'm curious to know why religion is the reason for everything and why it's shoved in people's faces.

I keep seeing on here that the Catholic church is apostolic and follows the teachings of the apostles. Now I may not know a lot about church history so it could be I am wrong. But as far as I know every single thing taught by the apostles is in the Bible. I know Catholics say the apostles taught their doctrines so I am asking a Catholic to show me where Paul or any of the original apostles taught anything that is not contained in the Bible. Show me where Paul taught papal infallibility or that Mary was sinless. Show me where Peter claimed to be the Pope. I challenge you to show me something that we know was taught by an apostle and is not found in the Bible. Can you do it?

What are the differences in Paul's teachings and Jesus' teachings?

I've actually heard that some churches do not teach the word of Paul.

Was Paul's word not God inspired?

That's really all I want to know.

Why?

Why can't we all get along?

So what if we don't all believe the same thing? Wouldn't life be boring that way? With so much diversity, we have the chance to learn new things everyday. I only wish half of what I learned everyday was not how ignorant human beings can be.

I know that there's a lot of prejudice between different belief systems, prejudice that goes back hundreds and thousands of years. My own belief system has some of those prejudices. I choose to ignore them, because they only get in the way of forming relationships with other people.

Why can't we just accept that we have differences and move on? Why can't we learn from each others' differences rather than condemn those who don't believe the same things.

Wouldn't the world (and the R&S section) be a better place if we didn't bite off each others' heads at every opporunity?

The Bible says that we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses who are the saints. It also teaches that we are to pray for each other. It says that the saints hear our prayers as they present our prayers before the throne of God for us. With these biblical statements how can one justify their rejection of the communion of saints? Where is the historical proof that the early Church rejected this biblical teaching.

I don't want to go into details, because I don't think there is any reason for that... Maybe it was not me, who has been cursed. Maybe its somebody from my family. But the bottom line is - I am affected by that every day. Please, tell me how can I get rid of the curse, even though, I do not know who or why cursed me or somebody from my family... And please, don't give me answers like "don't believe in it and will go away". I myself know, that a curse can be a simple bad wish or simply a bad thought... How do I get rid of it?! I will do anything!!!

i've been doing some thinking and have come up with a philosphical idea that there is no external gods only internal ones. what i mean by that is that man is his own god. everything in your life that youve ever wanted,everything youve ever done or had done to you or whatever is by your own choosing and your own will. im sure you can pray for it but what is prayer other than you being afraid to do something alone so you "ask' for help and suddenly its able to be done..thats just you reassuring yourself that you can do it..also when you get down to it..when you pray and you know deep down its true..that you pray for something that will benefit you...basically what im trying to say is that man can be his own god and really has no need to turn to external gods and crazy explanations for things like "immaculate conception". im sorry i can only provide you with an abbr. version but if you'd like to read more on this concept visit http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&frie

There's a lot of questions on here asking if The Golden Compass is anti-christian, and stuff like that. Most people answering are saying stuff like,

"Christians are only boycotting this movie because they are bored w/ their own pathetic lives!!!"

Christians are not boycotting this movie because they are, "bored with their own pathetic lives". They're boycotting it because it goes against what they believe in and they don't want to spend their money on or support something that goes against their faith. They believe in God and they're boycotting a movie that is written by a guy who hates God (And yes, he said in an interview that he did.) and this guy wants to turn kids against God by getting them into the movie, then buying the book series and becoming against God. (God is killed in the final book.)

What do you guys think about what people are saying about The Golden Compass? Don't you think it right to stand up for what you believe in?

"My sermons bring everyone to my church and
they're like "theyr'e better than yours"
damn right "theyre better than yours"
I could teach you but I have to charge."

how would you feel if you saw this happen?

Many religions believe their god or gods are all places at all times, or can exist in multiple forms. The trinity seems to create problems in their minds because it's 3 distinct persons but still one God. How can someone believe God is omnipresent yet deny the trinity?

A very good friend of mine is a lesbian. She's my co-worker and is, in my estimation (which I know you will say is flawed; maybe so), an outstanding woman who loves her God, her family, and her job (as well as me as a close friend in whom she confides much). Now, according to our God's Word (and many people in here and elsewhere), she's going to enter into eternal destruction from the face of the Lord. This saddens me and is most grievous for me to ponder. How is God ever going to remove this sadness from my mind and my heart before I die concerning her? She does believe in Christ as the Son of God, and she loves Him much. (And all this assuming I'm not headed there myself.)


Your kind thoughts, please.

catholic church claims to be following to bible, but i can see that they walk contrary to the scripture, God said to call no man upon the earth father except your father in heaven.
and though Marry is blessed among women as the bible says , she is not to be worshiped or prayed to, she is still only a woman. and whats up with the priests, and all the child molestation? and people asking the priest for forgiveness , this is so wrong, He cant even forgive his own sin.and the temples have become a place to get drunk and eat. even at the Lords super getting drunk,,,this is so wrong,
i do not doubt that the catholic church started off right , but traditions and men seeking power came in and made the word of God no effect .
the pope ,,,,just who does he think he is, if you use the bible as you say than you know we have one high priest and it is Jesus.

well any way ,,im sure your mad ,,
so what do you think about it?
