Catholic Christian.
I believe in the post-mortem survival of the spiritual soul, which can subsist in at least three different conditions: purgatory (an interim condition of purification), hell (a state of definitive self-exclusion from God) and heaven (the enjoyment of the Beatific Vision of...
Doesnt that arguement imply that certain relationships aren't really right? How can people living together before marriage be okay, if temporary marriages are wrong. Temporary Marriage: Revisiting Muhammads Permitting a Form of Prostitution known As Muta
This argument about gender is an argument that only exists within pagan gnosticism. In order to engage with it you have to accept the premise that gender exists independently of sex. Up until 1963, when the word "gender" was redefined by feminists, no one in the whole world believed that gender...
Agreed, unlike our Muslim friends, Baha'is commendably recognise the importance and authority of St. Paul within the Christian revelation.
Since you had a Christian, indeed Protestant, upbringing - you will no doubt already be aware of the importance of Paul's writings to Christian theology and...
So then how do we even know that this isn't referring to people who believe that god doesn't exist as the "pure?" I mean, look at it... there is no mention of God... "unbelieving" could be in reference to those who deny the claim that God doesn't exist. Aren't people who deny that "God doesn't...
Everything that is attributed to Voldemort in the Harry Potter books is bad, we should be seeking to exterminate it if it exists. In my opinion, the Biblical god has no more validity than Voldemort, but does more damage because of the way some extreme Christians behave thinking they are doing...
This is so interesting. One who does not believe there is a God and believes the Bible is false and bad yet is consumed to announce it as such.
Reminds me of a story:
“An English professor wrote the words: ‘A woman without her man is nothing’ on the chalkboard and asked his students to...
There's a library book in our library called Why Priests? A Failed Tradition.
I recommend everyone check this sucker out.
I believe we can do without priests. That said, I believe priests have a role, as long as you understand they are flawed humans and can sometimes tell you things that...
It is the way you read a letter or when you talk to a person. If you read it searching love, you find it. If you approach it angry, you find angry... like this statement:
Titus1:15 (a)
15 It’s true that all is pure to those who have pure hearts,
I was talking about Scriptures. Take the Koran. You can't prove something is true by quoting 1 verse. Even Muslims defend themselves all the time "read in context" etc.
Agreed. Sai Baba advised genesis diet for spiritual inclined people to purify [explicitly telling this is true for all people...
Is it? If I want to show you that Gandalf is a wizard in the Lord Of The Rings, I refer you to J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings books. If I want to show you that a certain law is in effect I refer you to a law book. If I want to show you that God is love, I refer you, not to my own opinion...
Yes, of course it is, inasmuch as God is great.
Absolutely. I don't know why unbelievers would be more righteous than believers.
"Friendship with the world" would be indulging in the selfish pleasures that the world has to offer, rather than loving God and loving others. Our human nature of...
Unfortunately, The Bible's "true" statements that there will be those that deny "the truth" come with quite a bit of context that is far more than hinted to as being "truth." So while the statement "there will always be deniers of truth" taken out of context is obviously true, it is actually...
I have found some peoples minds are so open minded to the point that their brains can fall out.
Since I find the Law was only for one nation the nation of ancient Israel then every other nation ignored the Law.
Gentiles had No reason to keep the Law since it was Not for the gentiles or the...
