    Does God The Father have a name?

    Paul calls his God Abba, the Aramaic word for God the Father, and I believe Jesus says the same in the Gospel, just can't remember the exact passages. But God can't really have a name, cuz that would mean something before him named him that name. phrases and titles can be just about anything...

    Inter-faith marriage

    I don't think the Paulicians would have cared if they got married to someone from a different religion, as long as that person wasn't against the Paulician movement. They certainly intermarried with Muslims alot, cuz they were such strong allies. The meaning of marriage to my religion had...

    Who is the true church?

    That's the very reason why I don't believe in organized churches. All they do is divide the central teachings of Christ and make them out to be something they're not. Jesus did not have an organized anything, he simply taught the crowds wherever he wanted to, and they would sit down to listen...

    How do you KNOW that you are "right"?

    I don't have some universal truth and think everyone else is wrong, I just want to be me; my religion is my own personal truth. I don't expect anyone to believe or listen to what I have to say, because I'll stay strong in my path whether I'm alone or with millions of followers by my side. I'm...

    Can There Be More Than One God or Just One?

    Firdaus, your misunderstanding my concept of theology. In a monotheistic setting which you profess, there is one eternal God right? (which is God A) and so that would eliminate the possibility for God B right? Now lets look at theology from a different perspective other than yours. Just...

    Can There Be More Than One God or Just One?

    you won't be able to find an excuse for this god's insane behavior here: ...there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him [Elijah]...and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she-bears...

    Can There Be More Than One God or Just One?

    only a jealous god would say "There is no god but me!" Now watch what he says and tell me this is not extremely suspicious? I the Lord your God am a jealous God (Exodus 20:5)....for the Lord, Whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God (Exodus 34:14). He is a Jealous God; He will not...

    Can There Be More Than One God or Just One?

    the one above was always in danger of being defeated by another one, such as Zeus defeating his father Kronos. It was really the Universe itself that was "God," to most polytheistic cultures, and those beings attributed to be "gods and goddesses" were also creations of the Universal forces...

    Girl, 8, 'was tortured for being witch'

    but isn't seyorni correct in saying your "free democracy" and its ethical policies are in direct contrast to the pacifist/pietist teachings of Jesus? Especially the innocent. No life is worth taking, no matter how much freedom you profess to attain. Do you know how selfishly evil this "free...

    Is the name Jehovah another name for Jesus?

    I didn't know LDS believed Jehovah was "Jesus," but not God the Father? So is LDS believing in a trinity at all? According to my tradition, Jehovah is Satan, the Evil principle. God the Father is the Transcendant, the Good principle. Jesus is the Father's messenger into this world to purchase...

    Can There Be More Than One God or Just One?

    Ok how could God A not still be Allmighty, if there exists a God B or God C etc. that is equally Allmighty? God A would not be limited if there exists Another; It's very possible and understandable for there to be multiple eternal principles such as eternal opposites like: light/dark...

    confused about religion

    Hasn't science always gone hand in hand with religion? especially with ancient cultures. I also believe the Abrahamic religions have their sciences too. I know Islam values science....

    The Second Coming Of Messiah

    what about pagans, polytheists, and dualists though? we certainly don't believe God is one, or religion is one...but that doesn't mean we don't have similar principles to agree upon. :)

    Girl, 8, 'was tortured for being witch'

    this family came from Angola, where is that located? The family was probably brought up that way, obviously they believe in some sort of black magic, witchcraft; and just really twisted personal beliefs taken to the extreme; they seem to think the girl is evil by nature; this is really weird...

    Girl, 8, 'was tortured for being witch'

    How could her family possibly take this stuff seriously is what I would like to know, I mean come on, she's only 8! Are people that superstitious that they feel threatened by an innocent child? I read some other articles on similar events in that area; there was a little boy found in the same...

    Is Jesus The Only Way To Heaven?

    How do christians explain the physical death and body of Jesus, when all throughout scripture Jesus seems to have more an illusionary appearance and body to him, that's not actually real. I personally believe it was a cloak of magical illusion, so I don't believe Jesus ever suffered or felt any...

    Trying to find my religion...please help.

    hi sakura, what exactly do you think your looking for? If you haven't found a place for religion already in your life, maybe you'd be more at home with religions that are kinda in the shadows and not very well known. That's where I found my spirituality anyway. There's something about the...

    why not have both gods

    I agree, though christianity isn't radical dualism, it's still dualism no matter how you look at it. Radical Dualism: The belief system that there can be two or more co-eternal Gods each with their own independant cosmos and activity. Monarchian Dualism: The belief system that God has an...
