Religion & Spirituality - 29 December 2007

What if? What if we Christains are right, What if there is a heaven and hell....Just what if? Because if you keep saying they don't exist.....Just what if they do when you die. What will happen then? Just wondering God Bless!

I'm Jewish and although I try to understand others and their religion/customs/etc. I never have been able to understand the Christian belief that in order to get to heaven or to be close to God you need to accept his "son" as your saviour. If Jesus is God and God is Jesus then why the need to accept the son if he is the father. And I've never ran accross a single Christian who has been able to explain this to me, maybe your the first?

Could the Devil or demons make it unpleasant even for the stingiest masochist?

The number of Jewish people who have been adversely affected, maimed, and murdered in the name of Jesus throughout the history of Christianity significantly exceeds the six million who were massacred by the Nazis during the Holocaust. Yet, there are Jews who, for various reasons, have chosen to overlook this fact and have joined themselves to "The Church" with its built-in anti-Semitism. According to Shmuel Golding, who founded and directed the Jerusalem Institute of Biblical Polemics for many years:

"Any Jew who can pay homage to the New Testament or allow himself to believe in it, is, in my opinion in the same category as a Jew who tries to justify Hitler's Mein Kampf or, as one who covers up for the deeds of the Nazis."

What exactly does it mean???

It seems, to me, there's a lot of chicken little ppl crying the sky is falling on us, when the Bible clearly notes such destruction only comes on "them" of them/us in 1Thess 5:3/1Thess 5:9; And notably only because of what "they say": Peace & Safety in law. Perhaps they should consult someone wrongfully convicted, to see there's neither peace nor safety in law worketh wrath, and accusation of our brethren, and condemnation, and torment, and even a death sting.

It seems. to me, there's a lot of law law worry worts and fear mongers promoting sound the alarm, awaken the king, to tell him the kingdom is under attack from a phantom menace called the shadow... obviously the dark version of things to come, and not the very things to come: grace mercy peace.

What are your thoughts on wrath vs salvation?

Seriously, I have been a "born again" christian for most of my life and recently I feel as if a veil has been lifted from my eyes and I can see clearly for the first time in my life. I have found answers to many of the questions I was told I wasn't supposed to question or wasn't worhty of knowing, until I met God. It seems many spiritual leaders don't want you to question things. Thanks to those who did anyways or the Earth might still be flat and the Sun would revolve arround us. Germs and bacteria would be a punishment from God and nobody would have developed antibiotics. Etc. Etc.

Look, if you need to believe in a God to get you through the day, great, but don't assume those who don't share your views are evil or stupid, we just don't agree...and yet we don't want to kill you! Imagine that.

Those who claim to be saved, I was one, are the same people who are always judging others...Isn't that supposed to be a sin?

Why can't we all just get along.....

I'm sorry, but reading through some of your answers here recently about the 10 Commandments, Mosaic Law and other Jewish Law it is apparent that many of you do not understand what "Law" really means.
Please consider Mosaic Law, civil law and ceremonial law. We as Christians have abandoned the last two for the new and everlasting Covenant that Jesus brought into the world. We are still under the Mosaic Law, (i.e., the Ten Commandments, etc....) Are you saying that we do not have to abide within the 10 Commandments anymore?
How about - " I did not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it." as Jesus spoke. Much of the Law is not abolished.
Question - what Mosaic Laws do you not think are relevent anymore?

Did you become an atheist because your parents weren't perfect? If yes, weren't you expecting too much?

When you go door to door, I would imagine there is a certain type of person that will be the most amenable to your views. Is it the person who has only a rudimentary knowledge of the Bible and the tenets of "Christendom" as you call it? Is it the person who has plenty of biblical knowledge and yet suddenly sees things from your perspective instead? Is it the person who holds a non-Christian (Wiccan, Muslim, etc.) or atheist belief? Other demographics?

Our consciousness affects our subatomic particles and by quantum physics we know that the particles can be anywhere at any given moment or spring up in multiple places at the same time and most likely in more dimensions.

So, wouldn't it make sense that we are existing somewhere else at this very moment and when we die we just continue life in one of the places that we are already alive? Life just continues in these circles with there being no true death other than past things falling apart.

Does anyone believe this idea? If you don't, why? If you do, then what is the point of all this?

PS. I'm not high, just bored. Don't bother with the predictable jokes.

When did you start questioning the religious beliefs you grew up with? Or if you never have, you can answer that and explain why if you like. Lots of us as children believed in religious somethings without question simply because we were children and we were taught that. Whether or not you never stopped believing them or went back to them later in life is irrelevant to the first part of the question (though it is relevant to the second part of the question below), what I want to know is just when did you start questioning and such.

And, where are you at with those beliefs now? Have they changed much, are you no longer a believer in what you grew up with, or what?
