Food and religion Posted: 6/29/2007 6:03:14 PM
"his religion" Christ was actually a jew so He also kept the laws of the Old Covenant. Only after Christ was nailed to the cross was the New Covenant fulfilled. So to say his religion is well absurd. But anyways, Jesus didn't come to change the laws he came to fulfill them. You are right though, all in all. Christians aren't suppossed to persecute anyone let alone homosexuals. Preaching what is righteouss in the eyes of God is not persecution. Beating someone or harming them is though. It is wrong to be Homosexual but a Christian is supposed to love them anyway. To try and teach them righteoussness and if they choose not to listen then that is their choice. The will have to answer to God on judgement day. As will I have to answer for my sins. Although I have the greatest lawyer in the world and the heavens above. Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour.

Well I will adress the first question asked. Acts 10:9- the next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went on to the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. 10- Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance 11- And saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to earth. 12- In it were all kinds of four footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air.13- And a voice came to him, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat."14- But Peter said, "Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean."15-And a voice spoke to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed you must not call common." I hope that answers your question but if you have more just ask and I will answer it if I can.

Wusup skypoet, I would have to agree with you on the God being what you beleive He/she/it is. I beleive God shows himself in many forms to people all over the world so that everyone can be comfortable with Him when He does show Himself.

Christianity v. Alchoholism: Which is worse? Posted: 8/18/2006 1:57:12 PM
Christianity v. Alcoholism: which is worse? Wow that is a loaded question! Well lets see. Christians in Americe don't have that much to worry about. I mean, some do get killed for there faith here in America but nothing like over seas. Then on the other hand Christians also kill. Same for alcoholism though. Drunks kill and drunks get killed. There are so many scenarios following both subjects that I don't think I.m gonna touch that. But let's talk about the true meaning of Christianity and the true meaning of alcoholism. Jesus was the perfect Christian and well theres no perfect drunk. So under what Christianity truly means I would have to say that getting drunk is very immoral(I just think of all the stupid things I have done while I was drunk). But being a true Christian you would never do anything to harm or offend anyone so I think I will go with the Alcoholism as being the wrong of the two. I mean this was an obvious answer but I'll play along because I love to hear different veiws on everything.

Religion is for people who are afraid of hell... Posted: 8/18/2006 1:45:22 PM
Afraid of Hell? Not me. Can't be anything like what we call earth. I've been thru so much here on earth I say bring it on. And yes I am a Christian. Ignorance is bliss. Not trying to call names but to actually think someone has to be scared of hell to become religious is like saying someone drives a car because they are scared to be run over while walking down the road.

Quote about God Posted: 8/18/2006 1:19:24 AM
Whatever it is anyone believes is a belief. Even if you don't believe in anything. I beleive that everyone makes their own world. Whatever your believe is that is what will be true for you. Although there is a difference in saying you believe in something than what you actually believe. You can make a mouth say anything. Just about every beleif system teaches that the mind has tremendous power. That is why I think that every individual controls what happens in their life. If you beleif you will be ressurected then that is what will happen. Although, there are infinite possibilities in the human mind so I can't even try to name any of them but just imagine. I think about these type of things often. But I honestly beleive that whatever you truly believe without any doubts will be your destiny.

Did Jesus die? Posted: 8/18/2006 12:44:48 AM
Actually 10 of the Apostles were eye witnesses to Jesus first appearence after the ressurection except for Thomas and then he also was a witness. After that Jesus baptist 500 more with the Holy Spirit. But, Ibli, you are right, noone actually seen the resurrection being that Jesus was in a sepulchre by himself but many seen him afterwards. But actually Mathew and John were direct witnesses of Jesus. And they are part of the four Gospels.

The Idolatry Issue Posted: 1/13/2006 1:02:00 PM
Jesus only becomes a idol if you make him one. You either worship the cross or you worship Jesus. One or the other but you can't both. Some people do get over zealous and buy all kinds of action figures and things of that nature but who are we to say what they are worshiping. Only God can judge the thoughts of men. God bless and take care, Jimmy

Does God have our gift too ? Posted: 11/10/2005 10:40:38 PM
The children of Isreal would have left either way. But it was for the glory of God that it happened the way it did. The people in Egypt needed to see God in all His glory and so did the children of Isreal. After all moses' followers doubted him even until he died. The pharoah's heart was hardened by God as i said. But it was hardened because the pharoah wanted it. All through the story it talks about how the pharoah didn't want to listen to Moses or Aaron. They would mock them when they came in to see the pharoah. All these events didn't happen over a short time either. These events could've taken years so after each event. The pharoah had much thinking and wondering to do. Can you imagine what was going through his head when all His slaves said that their God wanted him to let them go?

The pharoahs heart was hardened because of his unbeleif not because God did it to him. It also says in the Bible that God will make people have a reprobate mind. Which isn't to say that God makes them this way it means that if someone chooses to be ignorant ignorance is what they will get. Furthermore, I said that God didn't ask for HUMAN sacrifice. Animal sacrifice is totaly different than HUMAN.

Does God have our gift too ? Posted: 11/10/2005 7:56:57 PM
There is a difference between what God WILL NOT do and what He CAN NOT do. Just because God WILL NOT commit evil doesn't mean He CAN NOT. Free will is simply the right to choose. God hasd all the right to do what He wants but has absolute knowledge to know that He WILL NOT do some things. SFL, God did not ask for anyone to sacrifice. How long did God keep telling the pharoah to let his people go? Did God not warn the pharoah of each curse that was going to happen? So you see God wasn't the one who sacrificed the first borns the pharoah was. The pharoah was warned time and time again and still didn't listen. So he got what he deserved. God nor Christianity sacrificed people. Quit confusing Jews or Christians with ancient pagans.

I don't know where you heard that from. They have recently discovered the dead sea scrolls which is the oldest written word of scripture. They have also found many peices of pttery in excavation finds that have scripture on it and nowhere is there anything about reincarnation. The Bible wasn't a bool originaly only scripture. There are many more books of scripture that isn't even in the Bible. Such as the "Apochrypha scripture". There are about 70 other scripture that wasn't put in the Bible because it was voted as not inspired scripture. The Bible isn't actually one book but 66 books according to which Bible you get but the most common only has 66 books. Skeeter, Can you give scripture where it says anything about reincarnation?

The Great Sign, Richest Religion In The World....Christianity Posted: 11/8/2005 5:58:55 PM
Skeeter, I think you misread the post. The OP wasn't talking about individuals he said "religion". Which means as a whole. And tithing isn't required it is only requested. Such as offerings. The Church does many great things with that money also. Sorry that you have a hatred toward the Church. Actually tithing was originaly meant for someone to give 10% of their flock to God. Originaly people were to sacrifice their the first-born out of any herd or flock. Now the individuals of the Church feel like it's their duty to give to the Church. So they adopted tithing from 10% of the flock to 10% of your income. It isn't required though.

I agree Little. That scrpture is specifically against false gods and idols. There are many many gods in certain beliefs and some religions worship man made objects. Also anything a man puts above God is considered worshiping that also. So you see, money or material things can be a god if worshiped above all else.

Jesus was a good man and done many great works. All through the Gospels he has many disciples and numorous crowds following Him. With all the healing and kind and great things He did for people I don't think He needed self defense. Jesus didn't come to offend but offense will happen no matter what you do. Jesus knew this also that is why he said the father will be against the son. Daughter against mother so forth and so on. Jesus taught love above all else4. Love is patient. Love is kind. etc,etc.

I have to agree with Taurus on this one. American and Native Indians is one of my best studies. I was always fascinated in their beliefs and courage but Indians were not without poverty. Many were killed by snowstorms or other tribes. Some tribes were very dominant in the land and had most control of their sections. Not to mention the many diseases that Indians died from. Christianity is one of the richest religions. It has grown to great numbers but in the past years it has droped in America.

Christianity doesn't support reincarnation at all because it would take away the main factor-heaven. Islam believes in karma and reincarnation. Christ died for our sins and by His stripes we are healed. Karma says that what goes around comes around and that leaves out all possobilities of healing or forgiveness. Christianity soul belief is the redemption of sins and powerful healing.

Study/student bibles Posted: 11/8/2005 7:15:31 AM
I would also recommend a Bible Dictionary. It has meanings of words hard to understand and also has names. It usually gives a detailed description of people, places, and events in the Bible. There are several so I would recommend finding one to fit your liking. I would tell you the name of a good one I used to have but I gave it to a 93 year old woman so I can't. I have to take this time to say that I am glad you are researching the Bible. When I first started studieng the Bible I had many unanswered question and was told that I take things out of comtext. The Bible is one of the hardest books to learn but I found one secret that will always help you. The best way to learn about the Bible is to learn from the Bible itself. I,ve read the Bible 5 times and working on my sixth right now but I"m still learning alot from it. One other thing that will help is to talk with others on what you want to know. This site is a good start for instance because I have learned to look at certain scriptures I never thought to look at in that light. ~Jimmy

Just curious and thought I would ask this question here. If a asteroid was the reasoning for the distinction of the dinosaurs then wouldn't any asteroid that hit the earth cause a radioactive wave or pollute the earth? And if so wouldn't this make all carbon dating void? Wouldn't the asteroids cause anything that is only a 1000 years old seem like it's millions of years old? Just some thoughts and I'm not a scientist so I thought I would ask you people.

Even if he knows the outcome doesn't mean He himself changes the outcome. God would have to change the outcome himself in order to take away free-will. Free-will is our right to choose. We choose our own destiny, he justs knows the outcome is all. I mean in all fairness of God and heaven and hell. There are only two outcomes and since he is the judge of this then how would he not know....lol. ~Jimmy

Pagans base there beliefs on the same concept of Celtic Gods or witchcraft. The Celtics belief in "summerland" same equivelant as heaven and algotha(I think that's the word) the same as hell. Every religion has there ideals of heaven and hell just worded different that's all. I have done some studieng on other religions but I haven't asked to many Pagans on what their equivelant to hell is. That will be my next question to SFL. Thanks for the thought. ~Jimmy

Well God doesn't know every thought and action you will have but he knows what is in your thoughts and actions as of this moment. He would have to take away free-will in order to know your future. But in a sense he does know our future from the path we are on. If we are on a destructive path then in a sense he knows your future if your on a righteous path then he knows that future also. At any moment you have the ability to chaqnge your course in life and of course he would know the outcome of that course but at the next moment you could change that course again which would change your outcome again. So on and so on. I know most people think that when the Bible says that God has a future planned out for you to do his will that this means he has preordained your life but that's not what it is saying. What it is saying is that if you decide to do the will of God he has plans for you. Do you get where I'm coming from?

The weay I see it is that God knows what's in everyones hearts. If he can know what we are all about what reason would he have with time? I don't understand your question though Wonka. Our realm and God's realm is two different realms. Even if there is no time in the spiritual realm how would this effect free-will?
