The top ten reasons why I think that the monotheistic religions are not as evolved as the other religions that do not put much emphasis on a creator God are these: 1. The religions are too restrictive. Too many rules to follow and comply with. 2. Too much authority has been given to certain...

--topic-- Without citing a Bible verse or plagiarizing from someone else. Mine is this: The Lord of the Universe washed his apostles' feet. That to me is one of Christ's greatest acts of humility. If Christians can remember this act of Christ, Jesus will be proud of us.

One of the worst assumptions that a martial artist practitioner can make is to make himself believe that his art is the ultimate martial arts style, and that no other style can defeat it. We have seen that anybody who makes this assumption and steps on the fighting arena gets beaten up...

If the Bible that Christians are using today was first actually put together in 1384, the identification of canon of scripture in 315 AD, it makes sense to think that only scripture that the early Christians used was the Old Testament. Please use this as reference...

Job is one of my favorite biblical characters for one main reason: he praised God even though he was left with no more reason to do so. However, since I'm going through a divorce, I am wondering if the story of Job would have changed dramatically (like him finally succumbing to just blaming...

It really makes me sick to the stomach when I hear testimonies about Christians who feel so sad that they weren't able to share the Good News to someone and later say, "That person is in hell now." Dude, how do you know? Aren't you putting yourself in God's place when you blatantly judge a...

So much violence in this freaking world and if you really think about it, the underlying current that generates all this hatred (terrorism, in particular) is intolerance for differences in faith, particularly by extreme fundamentalists across all religions. I do not see why and how it is...

You die and in an instant you are right before the entrance to Heaven. It is not St. Peter who meets you there at the entrance but God himself. He looks at you and asks, "Why should I let you in my Kingdom?"

After coming home from a date with my wife that went up in smoke, she told me that we should make our separation official. Because it was very late I asked if I could stay over the apartment -- she agreed and even slept beside me (nothing physical) -- as it is probably the last time we are ever...

I am just curious as to how many non-Christians in the group have actually received Jesus, converted or "included" Christianity in your spiritual journey because of your participation in these forums? Absolute honesty is necessary here because I believe that those who are aspiring evangelists...

...teachings? Please be as elaborate and creative as you can. My religion would probably be called Christian Zen or Zen Christianity. Main teaching would be: Through mental stillness, love God and others without regard to form or emptiness. It will have many components of Christianity as...

Let's say you were able to gain access to a time machine that allowed you to travel to just one point in the past and visit your past self. However you only have 5 minutes to spend with your past self before you are transported back to the present. What one spiritual truth, teaching or lesson...

I have come to terms with my own spirituality. After 15 years of searching I believe to have been able to integrate several belief systems that represent the spiritual path I am currently pursuing. It is not by all means going to stay the way it is forever as it will most likely shift...

May 16, 2006 Last night before going to bed the second time around I felt the need to vent some pent up emotions that was literally driving me insane. So as not to be heard I covered my face with a pillow and screamed my rage out until my face turned blue. Ten minutes on just shifting back and...

What is the best way to show LOVE in the context of your belief/creed? I raised this question to see if it is possible to establish a common ground that even though we cannot agree in matters of faith we can actually agree that we can all somehow love one another in spite our differences. My...

Sometimes the most difficult thing in our walk with the Lord is being able to discern His Will versus our will (that usually means using God as an excuse to do something that really goes against His Will or command). Some examples I could think of that I have been guilty of: 1. If on a...

-title- I would become more deeply involved in the church ministry where God directs me to be a part of. Basically I want to stop being a solo flight type of Christian and less of a Sunday-only Christian. I would spend less time watching TV and read the Bible more. I want to change my...

What do you think would they be discussing and talking about? I think Jesus would be expressing his concerns about how many Christians aren't living up to their calling, most especially Christians who use his name to propagate war (ahem ahem someone in the White House). Muhammed would be...
