I don't think indulging in chocolate and sex are the same thing. Too much chocolate can obviously be bad for you but I can see no reason why heaps of free love (responsible and mature of course) could be bad for anyone.
Don't give me the unwanted pregancy argument either. If you don't want to...
Just recently I've been reading a little on near death experiences and those that have had them claim to have met and spoken with Jesus. Cool!
Now, one of the first questions they ask him is whether or not the Bible is true. Jesus answers yes but advises that we should read it prayerfully and...
I'm sorry but I disagree. While there are certainly some limits surrounding the act of sex (rape; deceipt) I believe that it is fine with God if we are quite free with our love.
I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who didn't find sex to be one of the most pleasurable things a human...
wow, here I am thinking that Religious Forums is a place to be able to discuss ideas about God freely and then in comes old mate with his little temper tantrum....how cute
For your information, my question was not rhetorical but one that I would genuinely like answered. In my quest for the...
I want to know what people here make of this Maitreya character that is supossedly living in London and on the verge of revealing himself to humanity.
If you're unfamiliar with him look up his name, share international and Benjamin Creme.
There is something that I don't understand about the Abrahamic God. He is known to be the great I AM, the alpha and the omega. My understanding of this is that he is everything, has everything and lacks nothing. For a being who lacks nothing, he sure seems to have a lot of needs.
How can The...
No, I don't think the process you have described is overly scientific.The only conclusion this person could draw (whether or not it is a scientific conclusion is another matter) is that the religion they were so passionate about was not the right path. It doesn't prove that there is no God
no, I disagree with you. If what you say is true then what happens when somebody like me, for instance, comes along and says that I do, In fact, see, hear and feel God everyday of my life? By your own definition I have proven the existence of God. But this is not right, I have proven nothing and...
James,
Over time I have read quite a bit of what you have had to say on Eastern Orthodox Christianity and, I must say, it comes across as the most sophisticated Christian denomination. It appears to be mature and doesn't seem to suffer from the insecurities of other sects.
This is interesting...
I couldn't agree more with you. I'm just interested to know how you came to that conclusion on God by following Judaism. The God of the Jews (and Christians and Muslims) is the biggest child of them all, isn't he?
