The insanity of the world..caused by books

Ravenladyj @Ravenladyj (22902) • United States 2 Jul 07

Its amazing in a totally terrifying way how much chaos, hatred, anger and rage a book of fiction can bring down on the world (and I say "fiction" because until it is proven otherwise without a shadow of a doubt, IMO it IS...

mauial Just because people and religions claim to be followers of Christ, doesn't mean they follow his teachings. In fact there will come a day when they say; "Lord, Lord did we not prophecy in your name and, expel demons in your name and perform powerful works in...

tombiz @tombiz (2036) • Philippines 1 Jul 07

It is very safe to make this statement: A great majority of people living in this earth somehow believe in the existence of God or Supreme Being! That nobody can dispute. Having known that, beliefs and/or relegions have been...

Are you following Paul or Jesus?

WildRider @WildRider (63) • United States 30 Jun 07

What Christian institutions are peddling is not the teachings of Yeshua. They are peddling Pauline doctrine. Paul did not even know Yeshua and was a self-described opportunist and murderer. "What people need to realize is that...

mauial I agree that what so called Christian institutions teach are not the teachings of Jesus. You are way off base about Paul though. Paul did not minimize Jesus at all. You cite no scriptures to back up your statements. At 2 Cor. 4:5 Paul states: "For we are...

Global warming in the Bible

marshall_blake2000 @marshall_blake2000 (304) • United States 26 Jun 07

The more I read about end times in the Bible, and the more I hear about it on the news. Seems I am seeing more things alike. Its almost like the Bible is the one the is making up the news.

mauial The fact is since the industrial revolution's wheels began turning, mankind has been ruining the environment and if nothing is done, it's all over for life on this earth. Does the solution lie with man? I think not! The Bible promises at Revelation 11:17,18...

what's the difference between body, mind soul and spirit?

fightingistheonlyway @fightingistheonlyway (2658) • Canada 25 Jun 07

I know what body is, its the physical body. I think I know what mind is, the inputs, process and outputs of the brain. (inputs=senses, process=logic/thought/feelings, output:action, conclusion) But what is soul and what is...

mauial The original hebrew word for soul is nephesh and means a person or animal, or the life that a person or animal enjoys. At Ezekiel 18:4 it states that "soul that is sinning dies." So the soul is not immortal. As to the spirit. It is the active force of God....
