Every day there's someone on R&S that describes to us in detail their own personal worldview. They then want to know "what religion is this?"
How do you call this misconception? The idea that a religion is nothing more than a set of ideas, and that for each set of ideas there is a match with a...
I need clear answers as to what they believe. Do the read the bible if so what version? I am getting married and I want to marry in this church but i'm not sure what they believe. I have been brought up Mormon(not the ones who marry 10 people)/Christian. Everything I read is in terminological...
God showed what he wanted at the beginning, he walked with man, revealing himself sharing his Life, without religion.
What then, is religion?
... respect for what is deemed "sacred" / "divine" / from God(s), whether it be religious observance or actual deities.
Latin: religare "to bind fast" ...
Personally, I am not too taken with most scripture and ideology out there..but I do notice that organized religion offers a sense of community and promotes very good family values. Do you find yourselves ever disagreeing with some main tenants but cling to your church or mosque for the sake of...
"It will sometimes be necessary to use falsehood for the benefit of those who need such a mode of treatment."
- Eusebius of Caesarea(c. AD 263 – 339) , Constantine's overseer of church doctrine and history
I will admit that it is a fabulous Christian motto.
Just FYI, this is the same guy that...
I mean I admit all those exorcisms, possessions, belief that God/Gods use natural elements (thunder, hurricanes and tornadoes) as a form of anger or caused rocks to fall off mountains, and the idea of the world being created in 6 24 hour days and is 6000 years old is all sounding too fantastical...
Some of you claim to have evidence for the existence of god and jesus, well if that is true, then your religion would be factual not faith based. But if you don't have any evidence (which you don't have any) then your religion is faith based. So which is it? It cannot be both.
And if its faith...
For example one of the Christians in this section wrote:
"Muslims reject the truth of Jesus Christ and have created a graven image to suit their needs. For Primarily, Muslims reject the truth that Jesus Christ is God, thus they have conformed their own specified image, which is idolatry."
The...
intend for a reformed Judaism? Not reformed in the sense of Reform, as in modern day Judaism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_Judaism In a way should Christians really be Jews? Don't worry I'm not on drugs, a long day and I'm tired, lol. And I'm atheist so regardless I'm burning in the Lake...
...there Christian apologetics? Isn't that an attempt to prove the existence of god using logic and reason? What would a good Christian want with logic and reason, anyway?
I just remember how everything was put into totally new perspective when I met Jesus.
Did you ever think you were indoctrinated into not believing??
And Evidence isn't required, God wants faith and trust. You should ask God to reveal himself to you.
a requirement? So many women put religion as a requirement for finding a husband/wife. If a potential partner don't follow of believe in the same god as her, she will reject him or her.
It is so sad that many women are loyal to religion.
It's like every time something bad happens to someone religious people explain it as his fault.
If someone dies of a disease, they'll say people sshouldn't have disobeyed God in the garden so they deserve what they get. If someone chokes to death they'll say he shouldn't have freely chosen to...
I included belief because I did not know what to call Atheism and Agnosticism.
But anyway, I've seen on the Internet many sources say Islam, and some say Christianity. Which is it?
