    Glory to Jesus and His Martyrdom this Good Friday

    As a Baha'i we do not celebrate all the holy days of all religions, even though we embrace the Messenger that founded them. We will share in the commendation of those days with family, if the faith is our background and they celebrate them, or if invited to do so by others. The day that Jesus...

    The SPIRITUAL sacrifice has to be, divine, ie CANNOT be just a Rabbi so forth

    No scripture necessary for this argument. Simply explain how a SPIRITUAL sacrifice, can be done in this manner, [JESUS says that He does this of His own accord, IF JESUS isn't GOD. It can't be done, and makes no sense. JESUS HAS TO BE GOD INCARNATE, not even a subortinate, THE MANIFESTATION...

    Word of God (John 1:1) invalid...

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. - John 1:1. This is the main scripture that mainstream Christianity uses to back up their claim that Jesus is Almighty God. The second person of a Trinity. However based on much research reading the Bible and the...

    Jesus's sacrifice is conditional, and only affects those who worship Him in Spirit form, as a God

    The sacrifice isn't literal, for everyone. JESUS is a GOD, and the sacrifice is for those who worship Him, as a GOD. JESUS's human form is mystical, and people percieved Him as fully human, even though He was doing things, that no human can do. JESUS was always a God, hence the worship as He...

    What Do You Do (Have You Done) to Help Others?

    What do you do to share you wealth (spiritually, financially, religiously, psychologically, physiologically) with others? Do you sacrifice you(rself) to bring well-being unto others? What have you done for others lately? Be loud and be proud!

    Looking Out for Number One

    What does your religion/belief structure teach about who or what to put before all else? God? Fellow man? Nature/Earth? Self? Why do you believe your religion teaches this? Bonus question: If you answer anything other than self, where is your own and/or your religion's line between a minor...

    ... Helps Those Who Can't Help Themselves

    I have a friend and coworker who is an addict. She is great at what she does, is very smart, but is hindered by her addiction brought forth by lack of self-worth and depression. Her parents are both dead, and she lost her sister to an overdose. She has a living brother, who, by my assessment...

    Is modern Christianity based more on the teachings of Paul than those of Jesus?

    My belief is that it is. I'll try to express my thoughts on the subject in a few separate points to try to organize them. 1. Jesus' death In Romans, Paul says: Hebrews, which is generally accepted to be written by a disciple of Paul, says: From these passages, the central premise of...

    Does Jesus's sacrafice work from a jewish perspective?

    Does the idea of Jesus sacrificing himself make sense from a jewish theological perspective? I personally don't think the idea of a god man sacrificing himself to himself for things he put in us himself makes no sense but that that is beside the point. Can a man die for another man's or indeed...

    "Pranksters" at CERN perform mock human sacrifice in front of Shiva

    Does this bother anyone else? There's a lot to discuss here. Whether it really was just a prank, or whether it was an authentic ritual. Whether it has any ties to similar rituals done by a number of secret societies in the West. Whether CERN is more than just a scientific facility, and whether...

    The Atonement Doctrine (Did Jesus Die For Our Sins?)

    @q konn @Luca85 Part 1 Christianity teaches that Jesus died for sins of mankind, and the Bible makes it seemingly so. But is the atonement doctrine really compatible with scripture? In this thread, the issue of sacrifice examined in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Anyone who has...
