Masses of catholics and christians and even others of various religious belief systems believe through mainstream teaching that Jesus died on a cross, was buried and on the third day rose from the dead.
But according to biblical scripture and common sense if you can read with understanding...
Serving in the Labrynth of Life as the Daughter, Sister and Wife of Master Masons, and as a descendant of centuries of paternal and maternal ancestral bloodlines of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, at the age of 19 I was Initiated into the Order of Eastern Star Chapter Founded by my parents. My...
This is a very difficult topic to discuss, especially amongst Christians both Black and White. Some will argue that the appearance of the Messiah does not or should not matter, only his message and his sacrifice for our sins.
And I agree 100% that his color has nothing to do with our...
Somebody thought this would be another lesson on how Jesus commanded his disciples to eat his flesh and drink his blood (John 6:53), but it's not. In case you are interested in learning the truth about that and the when, where, how and why Jesus offered himself as a sacrifice for his disciples...
Somebody's mad already.
We know that God is Creator, yes? The One who brings forth life. Woman is the only species who can bring forth life, therefore woman is God. Men cannot bring forth life, so God cannot be male.
Somebody's really mad now.
And it's probably a dude.
Well, historically, it...
Each of us have creature-teachers called Totems (for the many curious I see in this forum...) They can be any of a wide range of species from Four Leged, to creeping crawlers (insects), any of the Winged Ones (birds) or the Finned Ones (fish types).
There are Totems who are with us for our...
The canonical bible is missing information about the man called Jesus. There's the story of his birth, a snippit about an incident with his mother when he was a boy, and then *POOF* he disappears from biblical text we're given, but when he came back on the scene he was a miracle-working healer...
John 6:53 (King James Version) reads, "Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you."
The disciples ate Jesus.
pirituality vs. religion... Is it six in one hand, half a dozen in the other? What's the difference?
I coined a saying decades ago: "Religion is for people who don't want to go to hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there and don't want to go back."
What do you think?
Do...
Based on historical facts, what would you say the purpose of religion is?
In contemplating this, feel very free to share what your religious belief system may be so you can answer from that perspective.
Do you believe in God (or a supreme being higher than yourself)?
If you don't, then how come? What is it that you believe as far as this is concerned?
If you do, then how come? What do you call him? IS God a "him" or a "her"? And how many are there according to your belief?
Greetings, I just joined RF today and posted my first thread here ("Did the Disciples Eat Jesus?" at http://www.religiousforums.com/threads/did-the-disciples-eat-jesus.187884/ )
In that thread a comment made brought to mind that lately I've been seeing a lot of videos which imply that God is an...
Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you,"
I believe they followed his command.
What do you think?
