Religion & Spirituality - 12 December 2007

I got up Sunday morning, and when I turned on the TV, Joel Osteen was on. It was the end of his program and he asked everyone watching to say some words with him. I don't remember exactly what they were, but, just for fun, I did.

He said that I was now "born again" and saved. Is this true?

Even thought I've previously done the blasphemy challenge dozens of times?

He's doesn't understand that his choices are of the world and not Godly, but because he's a good hearted person he can't see what he keeps doing wrong.

When I attend church, everyone is screaming, hollering and have their arms wide open, plus some people are speaking in tongues (and/or running around). Why does that not phase me? I read the Bible, and know the word. I feel that I am a Christian. Yet, I do not understand attending church, and the patrons activities.

how do you explain the evolution of dinosaurs, did God create them too because there is no mention of them in any religious scriptures. There is deffinate evidence that dinosaurs existed a long time before humans, so if they were living then, how does it fit in with God creating the earth later when it was already there

When I think of famous creationists I think of Dr. Dino, and that is not a good assocation.

But I just learned that Ben Stein is a creationist and ID advocate.

I've always been a fan of Ben Stein; I loved his game show and his acting cameos, and I think it's cool that he was a speechwriter for the White House.

I'm not personally a creationist/"anti-evolutionist" but if I was I'd be pretty happy to be associated with Ben Stein, who's a pretty smart guy.

I guess the question here is: did you know that Ben Stein is a creationist? Do you know any other famous creationists who are actually kind of cool? (For the record, Kent Hovind isn't cool.)

Or do you just read the map of what they did? Jesus meditated in the desert for 40 days? Moses meditated on Mt. Sinai. John the Revelator took some medicine to get those visions. Paul of Tarsas fell off a horse and talked directly to Jesus. Do any of todays religious leaders do that? How can you know God if all you do is read about him? Isn't that like saying you're a master Carpenter because you read the Home Depot book on Carpentry?

I grew up worrying I'd been left behind if I couldn't hear anyone in the house, occasionally, If i haven't heard from any of my Christian friends or family all day, then go home and no-one's there but should be, I still do!

I'm not scared, I can't wait to be with Jesus! I guess it's the being left behind thing I'm anxious about...

Pastor Marilyn Hickey, on her Today show, said that she was in Egypt and visited a museum where there was a mummy room and she noticed one mummy which had a white face compared with the others. She asked the museum guide what that meant and the museum guide said that was the Pharoah which drown in the Red Sea pursuing Moses. The water had turned the Pharoah's face white by the time they were able to fish his body out of the Red Sea.

Anyone else ever been to Egypt and told the same thing by the Egyptian mummy museum guide?

I don't mean to offend anybody with this question, it's just something I was thinking. Santa Claus is considered by children to be omniscient (he knows everything everybody does). He is also powerful enough to violate the laws of physics (he delivers presents all around the world in a single night, and is capable of climbing up chimneys despite his size).

He is benevolent (he gives good people presents) but also punishes the wicked (with coal). Santa also sets up a system of reward and punishment based on one's moral virtue.

In light of all these similarities, is it possible that the reason the myth of Santa Claus survives is because it prepares children to believe in God?

Do they have free will, and face judgement, etc. like humans? Are they immortal? If they ARE immortal, when do they face judgement. I am sooo confused on this whole angel thing.
