Religion & Spirituality - 21 December 2007

Our Lord Jesus, Whose birthday we celebrate this month, is known by many Names in the Bible, each Name revealing a facet of His character. Can you list some of those Names? I will start out with two to give you an idea: (1) Prince of Peace (2) King of Kings........now, it is your turn ???? The winner of the ten points will be the one who lists the most names, accurately of course !! Good luck !

How often do you not do something that someone needs to do, simply because you feel "someone else" will?

FACT: She plagiarized about 75% of writings.
FACT: No Biblical prophets were challenged by most Christians, many close-to-modern-day "prophets" are (such as White and the Mormons' "prophet").
FACT: She suffered an injury to her head as a child and this may have affected the way she thought. Her "visions" may have truly been her thinking about what she learned and piecing it together in her mind; because of the injury, these thoughts warped into what she interpreted as a vision.
SDAs (Seventh Day Adventists) say: She was a real prophet because she wrote so many great books.
SDAs: In the middle of a sermon, she was holding a heavy book w/ one hand and suddenly had a vision; while in vision, she continued holding the book.

Was she or wasn't she?

I'm a fourth generation SDA but I'm beginning to question the religion because of the Ellen White issue and the fact that SDAs believe only they will make it to heaven. I'm trying to make up my mind whether I should stay or leave the church.

Here every 3-4 hours some theists question atheists' morality, implying that atheists do not have morals. Very annoying.

I know there are many good religious golden rules. But most religions (esp Christianity and Islam) also include the intolerant moral teaching that "those who believe in other things are wrong". And this justifies murders of pagans/native Americans/etc in the name of God as well as modern atrocities also in the name of God.

On the other hand, atheistic morality came from simple common sense that we should treat others the way we want to be treated. I never heard of atrocities in the name of Nothing.

So, try to be fair. On this aspect, don't you think atheistic morality is more tolerant and peaceful?

You know...the one that keeps playing over and over on the side. If you had your sound on, you'd know how annoying this thing is.

Stop making excuses for this God and realize how demented that really was.
The great and powerful God couldn't solve the problem any other way...........What hope do we have?????????????

It seems impossible to me that something could come from nothing. Nevertheless, this is what some people believe - they think a god exists who made the universe from absolutely nothing... but physics suggests that absolute nothingness is a state that cannot possibly exist, and therefore, since the universe does unarguably exist, it cannot have come from nothing. This makes sense to me because it disposes of a seemingly insuperable problem.

So, how do religious folks justify believing this 'something from nothing' notion? How is that possible? It's clearly not satisfactory to hand-wave this away with "God works in mysterious ways" or something. If someone believes that a god created the universe from nothing, they ought to have some idea how he managed to pull it off. Any ideas?

My friend Zalem has been asking some depressing questions lately. I think he's lost his way... which is all too common this time of year. How can I show him the penetrating warmth of our Lord.

There is a lot of things that can't be explained with formulas or measured with instruments, but does that by definition mean God must not exist?

My best wishes to all my friends here, I appreciate all the support you have been to me. Your kindnesss and help has certainly made my life much better and enjoyable. I laughed many times with you, I cried for you and felt so bad for what's going on with you. These memories should stay with me forever. I enjoy your friendship that is priceless.

I'm sorry if I have been nasty at times with you, I get moody sometimes.

(((My friends)))

This question is a dedication for Jack that has always been there for his friends. The time and effort he has spent for his friends here is matchless. He deserves to be appreciated for that and mentioned for his tremendous care.

Merry Christmas to all of you!

I just want a logical answer. I have been hated for being wiccan before anyone even talked to me. I just want a reason.

I'm only 11, so I don't read the Bible, even though I have one. But why do the call her Virgin Mary if she gave birth to Jesus? I've wondered about this for awhile.

... Spread the word of God. Around Isreal Jerusalem and so on. Its all war torn. They still have public executions in a lot of places around there!

I dont think it does. I think that ignorance exists, and that the human mind has the same potential for good as it does for evil.

Ultimately it is our sorroundings and environment that molds our minds and shapes our characters. But the man you may think of as evil has the same potential for goodness as you do.

So "evil" is more so a misguided mind than an inherent force that ulitmately determines the fate of people, in terms of heaven or hell.

In other words, how can a man be judged if we all come from different places, raised by different circumstances, and undergone different levels of traumas.


What do you think?

Since we don't hear much about Jesus for the next 30 yrs maybe He was traveling around and got to the Far East and became a disciple of Buddha

I always thought Creationists, being good Christians, would never tell lies.
