Religion & Spirituality - 17 December 2007

Can anyone explain to me (without being condescending) why some Christians think they can define what being Christian is? I have always thought a Christian is someone who believes Christ is the one and only path to salvation, yet I have heard these people claim groups that believe this way don't classify as Christian.

I'm currently reading a book called "Apocalypse 2012" and it's a scientific approach to the Mayan end times (12/21/2012 11:11PM). I’ve always had a fascination with post-apocalyptic survival scenarios. How do you feel about the end times? Of course, 2012 is regarded as sort of a rebirth, or new age. But with the coming of a new age there is much death.

What's the best solution to this problem? Should the issue not be addressed properly, is there any risk of incidents like in the link below taking place in Western Europe?

I received an email from another user recently and he was convinced that this scripture ---
Exodus 23:19 ". . .You must not boil a kid in its mother's milk."
---means that you can't eat Cheese Burgers.-- YES , he was serious.

The reasoning that there is cheese (cooking the curds of milk is used in cheese making) and meat in the same product.
So you would have meat in the cooked milk.

In this users mind this would violate this command in Exodus.


This scripture has nothing to do with Cheese Burgers.

Do you know what it is referring to ?

Okay, I’m 15 years old.
I’m a bisexual.
I have read the bible.
I just don’t agree with 95% of what it says.
I think I am agnostic.
But then I always find myself saying things like:
“For the love of God.”
“I Swear to God.”
“For Gods Sakes.”

What could this mean?
Can someone help me with what my religion is.

I’m not looking for someone to say you should be this religion because that’s my religion.
Please help me.

I just finished reading the book I am Legend the day before I went to the see the movie. How many of you have read the book? Just for entertainment's sake I was happy to overlook the discrepancies between the book and the movie, such as that Neville was not a scientist in the book, Neville didn't have a dog in the book, Neville didn't find the antidote in the book. But I was not ready for the overtly explicit Christian message at the end of the movie. So at the end we find out that God allowed Anna to hear Neville's message over the radio, that God directed her to find Neville, that God allowed Neville to find the antidote, that it was God's plan for Anna to take the antidote to the survivor's colony. Let me know how you feel only if you have watched the movie. I am still in shock!

I'd be thought of as a prophet. Some may even base a whole new religion on me..... weird isn't it?? Are many of todays religions based on the ramblings of the mentally I'll? Take David Koresh for instance, he was able to suck people in and he was a right mental. What do you think? if you can..

If the Textus Receptus is the error free text, then why are the last 6 verses of Revelation absence from the TR, yet present in the KJV? Did you know that for these verses, the Latin Vulgate was translated into Greek which was then translated into English - a translation of a translation of a translation?

how can you reconcile this contradiction seeing as modern science does not believe homosexuality is an illness and actively encourages gay people to be at peace with their homosexuality?
