Religion & Spirituality - 13 December 2007

Christians, do you realise that we need to continue to condescend to the atheists and evolutionists to continue the use of the names of the seven-day week, as Monday, Tuesday..... etc despite being named after pagan gods?

If we had used Biblical terms, like first day of the week, third day of the week . . .they would all be too confused in their simplicity? Anyway, as long as they continue to submit to the use of our Creator's planned seven-day week, are we Christians going to complain???

Does fear ever serve a useful purpose?
Are there any fears you should trust?

I find it accetable to say no to God/Religion, it's your own will. However, is there ANYTHING wrong with the teachings of morality and ethics? Many religions teach quite productive and meaningful ways ofliving life, contrary to the ol'American capitalism consumer mentallity, smoking, drinking, drugs, promiscuous sex, and that stuff.

I mean, if you REALLY think that teaching people to be nice and smile and love is bad, and that smoking/drinking/promiscuous sex is good, then,

honestly,

you're a self-pleasuring, life's too short and ya die, Ahole, who's only leading to the downward spiral of humanity.

Yeah, sounds harsh but I mean, how's getting high, having sex, and not caring about anything a GOOD thing for humanity OR yourself? There are many of u that do this.

See, I don't have a problem with unbelievers, at all, but, for the love of god,

why do people not care anymore about morals, ethics, behavior, etc?

Personally, I think it's b/c some ppl are evil inside.

What Moses crossed in the Hebrew text was the Yom Suph, which got mistakenly translated in the Bible as "the Red Sea." In fact it means the Sea of Reeds, a swampy marshy piece of land near the present day Suez Canal. It is of interest to note that if Moses had actually crossed the Red Sea, he went hundreds of miles out of his way and the Israelites would have had to average five-minute miles to have gotten through that body of water in the time the Book of Exodus says it took for its navigation.

In the Bible it says that being homosexual is not a good thing. RIGHT under that passage it says that we must not judge or condemen, that is God's job. I believe that God is merciful, loving, compassionate, and forgiving, and this God would not damn souls to eternal suffering for being who they are. God created everyone, correct? Everything about us is from God, yes? So he must have created homosexuality in people! Know that not everything in the Bible is to be taken literally. That passage speaking of homosexuality could be an old world belief. Back in the day people were dying left and right due to disease and other ailements. Being gay would not help humans repopulate, hence the said passage. I don't think being gay is encouraged, but if that's who you are, why fight it?
There is a difference in spreading the Word, and damning souls to hell. People are not going to be ready to convert to God when the self-proclaimed followers are being extremely cruel and uncompassionate.

life was discovered on another planet, or proof of ufo's were found. what would christians think about that. god has another playground, or test case, or experiment or whatever life means to God. would it upset christians to know that we are not exclusive? would proof of other life change your belief system?

Do you really think that if someone is not a christian they will go to hell? What if they are the kindest, most generous, all around good person, but they are Buddhist? And do you think that you can repeat the same wrong over and over as long as you repent? Sorry if I'm being stereo-type...

Roman Catholic declarations regarding the change from Sabbath to Sunday:

Catechism of the council of trent for parish priests, translated by McHugh and Callan; 1937,P.402:

"But the Church of God has thought it well to transfer the celebration and observance of the Sabbath to Sunday."

The Convert's Cathechism of Catholic Doctrine, by Peter Geiermann,1910, page 50.

Question: Which is the Sabbath day?
Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
Answer: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea(A.D. 336), transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.

Those who embrace Sunday as the Sabbath or Lord's day are paying homage to Rome, and to the power which enforces the institution ordained by Rome. God instituted the 7th day Sabbath(Saturday) at Creation(Genesis 2:1-3).

The Holy Bible is our only safeguide not mis-guided powerful men in our history. (Sabbath test)

Obviously, there is a lot of disagreement over things like the Trinity, creation, the entire book of Revelation... ad infintum. Most of these disagreements usually have both sides citing the Bible as source of their belief. I find this interesting because the has never been anything so intensely studied as the Bible in human history, and it is held to be the ultimate text of authority by many. Yet it's unlikely any 2 people are in total agreement on what it means.

What are some of the beliefs other Christians have, based on their interpretation of the Bible, that you think are wrong, and why do ypu think your interpretation is better?.

One chapter, God tells Noah to get 2 of every animal to put on the ark. Next chapter, he says to get 7 of some kinds and 2 of others.

This is not the only story in the Bible that does this. There are many others, even the Creation account doesn't agree with itself. Wouldn't the writers and translators catch this?

I am a christian. I question my belief all the time. I sometimes think what if there is no God...right now, I am reading richard dawkin's The God Delusion. I believe that questioning your faith is the best way to be stronger in your beliefs.

I am wondering if atheists do the same.

sure you believe in facts, and whats there to question? but about the things that arn't facts that make you atheists, such as origin of universe, life. do you question what if there is a God?

I mean seriously there could have been documents that could have been destroyed therefore we can't fully understand the situation due to the lack of evidence. Also the fact that the bible might not have all of the evidence to support itself therefore the evidence is not sufficent. Last, but not least doesn't it make you mad that when people are told that God is great they never question them? I mean if God loves you so much all he wants your opinion therefore sitting behind the desires of a teacher who says that it is bad to be different is merely producing a sin and wasting your time.


Just think about reality. Yes there could have been a God but just think about a different pathway to lead you to a different conclusion. There is nothing wrong with being different. It is withing the teachings of Christ that created democracy the value of the individual therefore state what you think without fear.

If there is no God, life is meaningless. What keeps you going in life? Doesn't the idea of oblivion scare the hell out of you? Why do you even care about how you contribute to society because when you die none of it will have mattered. Think about how fast life goes. It's like a river that doesn't stop and compared to eternity it doesn't even exist. What makes you get out of bed in the morning?

Why is it not obvious to people that Jesus is simply the continuation of the Egyptian god Horus, respun for Jews via Old Testament exegesis? Even the birth story is straight out of astrotheology. Revelation is also obviously astrotheological.

Most historians will not admit this, but, most historians are Christians, so I wouldn't expect them to be unbiased on this point. They start with the assumption Jesus was god incarnate and go from there, so of course they are never going to reach the straightforward conclusion.

This knowledge has existed for well over a 100 years, long before the Zeitgeist movie began to popularize it.

I believe in God, I don't have absolute evidence for his existence but I believe with reason, but if I had to decide which deity was the most plausible I would chose the one revealed in the New Testament. So would you say I am? Agnostic, deistic, or Christian? I don't know if there is a God, I think there is, and if I had to chose one I'd say the Christian one. So what am I? Aside from weird, unipolar, factious and adorable.

I'd say I am like at the med-school stages of Christianity. I'm not certified yet, I'm still kinda in school, I could still become a drop out, but I'm on the way.
