Religion & Spirituality - 24 December 2007

I was trying to get my husband to go with me to church and he asked me a question I couldn't answer: "If there IS a god, then how come some little children die from horrible things, as well as people who do good?" Didn't know how to answer that, so if anyone has any idea how I should answer, thanks ahead of time!

Does this make you suspicious that the bible is just a lie?

Do you wonder if jesus ever existed at all?

love someone so much it hurts?

I was talking to a friend the other day; we were messaging online while he was at a friend's house. There are a lot of problems in my life right now, and he knew that something was wrong, regardless of the fact that I tried to hide it.

He posted a bulletin saying, "theres something very wrong. i just wanna know wat it is.
i feel so bad for her it makes me wanna cry and hug her so tight she'll feel like im never gonna let her go. please be okay. im not going to survive without you."

Do you ever just love someone so much that it hurts?

Be honest in answering this.

Did you honestly help any poor on Chritmas day.

If you have done, will you do it now after reading the question.

I don't want collection of money, but personally you should do something atleast for one.

I've read and heard countless of preachings on how if you're of the Christian religion and believe in Jesus Christ, that accomplishing worldly success/money/business connections, leading a lavish/hedonistic lifestyle, and developing vast knowledge/intellect is a bad thing. (Not sure about the intellect thing).

It's said in the Bible, "keep your hearts simple, for your rewards will come in Heaven, etc" Yet it's impossible to adopt this, and other Bible sayings, without LITERALLY going BROKE and not succeeding in life, which will make you feel like a failure, a loser, is horrible for your self-esteem, and ultimately does NOT work.

There are people creating computers, space programs, etc, and this religion wants us to be stupid and poor!?!?!

What the F*ck?

If I'm misinterpreting it, and we're allowed to be smart and rich, and it only attacks the MORAL sense, then fine.

I'll be successful rich and moral.

Why is religion so strict and what is it REALLY saying?

i heard this song in church the other day. Girls did like a gesture to it. I know a few lines, like "i am waiting, make me strong." I also heard breath of life in there some where. It was slower, but not very slow. Any help would be appreciated.

How do you deal with the fact that god did not create man in it's image, as stated in the bible?
How has this changed your view of the bible's credibility?

Sometimes I feel that people like to mess up ppls fun.
Now all of a sudden, the Golden Compass is against Christ and the Christian religion?? I have watched the movie twice and I have a fairly strong education and yet still I battle to see the evil connection. I highly doubt some kid or teenager is gonna see this connection.
The are plenty of movies and games that the church should be using their powers to get rid of. The golden compass however is a sad choice.
I would love to hear oppinions about the movie specifically from those who are against The Golden compass??
What is so wrong about the Golden compass?

I was just watching a show the other night that gave the amount of people of different religions in the world. One that really caught my attention was the 14 million Jews in the world. I knew the number was small, but not that small. It got me wondering, are there more or less Pagans than Jews in the world? Can you at least give a ballpark figure how many Pagans there are in the world?

The mind of God and His unconditional love He has for His creation. He sent us His only Son, Jesus, to show us that the perfect life He displayed was the exact kind of life we could be living. Jesus was perfect and in His perfection, He plainly stated that "If you truly believe in me, and the WORKS that I do, greater works than these shall you do, because I go to the Father!" Jesus also rebuked those who had little faith, like Peter, When Peter knew it was Jesus walking out to them in the storm and on the water, Peter was the only one who had the faith, to ask Jesus to bid him to come to Him. Jesus did. and Peter got out of the boat, walking on the water and then began looking around and losing faith and began to sink crying out, Lord, Save me! and Jesus got him and they got in the boat together. You see, Jesus gave us His life so that we could do as he done. He was glorified and now sits at the right hand of God and giving eternal life to all who believes but His also gives you and me His power to do as He done. He said, in Marks Gospel 16 chap. Go ye, in all the world and preach the Gospel of my Kindom, those believing shall be saved and those who don't will be judged and thiese signs shall follow them that believe..In my name, shall you cast out demons, you shall speak with new tongues, you shall have power over the eliments of this world and if you should drink anything deadly, it won't harm you, and you shall lay your hands on the sick and they shall recover!! This is Jesus giving the command of all believers in Christ. We are kings to do as Jesus has showed us. Where is your faith? Do you have the Holy Spirit of Christmas in you? Receive Him, walk in this new life and do as Jesus died for you to do. Doubt and unbelief will stop you just as it did Jesus but God will direct you to where the faithful is and signs will follow the Christ in you..This is why Jesus was born. For you. Merry Christmas.
