Topic: Do you believe in god? - page 110. (Read 316208 times)

It is not necessary to think unfoundedly
that God is an explosion. It is
necessary to think a little more broadly
and to perceive everything, both
positive and negative energy as an
entire whole. God is a great power.

All science that explains where the universe and life comes from, is science theory. Science theory is something that is not known to be factual.

Since the universe is here, along with intelligence and life, whatever could cause these things to happen is God. If Big Bang Theory is proven to be the way that the universe came about, then Big Bang is God. So far, according to science, Big Bang is not known to be factual, or even to plausibly exist.

Yes,i believe in god.Just like air,we could not see it by our eyes but could feel it.We can feel god in many of our life situations.I have felt his presence many times when i was in desperate need of help.

It's true but just people call God differently.
For some people, God is ''nature'' or ''Heaven'' or some universal force etc.
Some people believe in heavenly fortune or something else.
So, it's common for all of us to believe in something what is more powerful or above us.
It's part of human DNA.
We can't escape from reality that we are created beings.
It means that we need our creator to give us direction, purpose of life.

I think you might be schizophrenic.

Everyone believes in God, some just suppress their knowledge of Him. I have felt his presence, many times. I can see intelligent design all around me

God says to kill them.  Are you questioning God?  He will surely send you to hell for such disobedience.

In light of these Biblical directives to rest and cultural pressures to perform, the current study was designed to learn more about mental health professionals’ satisfaction with the rest they achieve in their lives. Quantitative and qualitative survey questions assessed participants’ satisfaction with rest practices, barriers to rest, beliefs about rest, and positive experiences of Sabbath-keeping practices.

Hypothesis #1: Those who identified themselves as Sabbath-keepers would report greater satisfaction with their quantity of rest practices than those who did not identify as Sabbath-keepers.

Hypothesis #2: Sabbath-keepers would also report higher levels of satisfaction with their quality of rest than non-Sabbath-keepers.

A concept mapping approach was used to categorize qualitative data regarding barriers to obtaining rest and regarding positive Sabbath rest practices.

Participants
296 mental health professionals or students who were either associated with one of two Christian professional graduate programs or were CAPS
members. 52% described themselves as clinical, 19% as students, 13 % as academic. 68% were married, 32% were single or divorced.

CONCLUSIONS

• Only approximately 25 % of respondents in this study reported
high satisfaction with their quality or quantity of rest.
Judeo-Christian teachings have placed Sabbath keeping as a core
practice for a life with a balance of work and rest.

• In this study, those who did practice Sabbath keeping (defined as
refraining from work one day a week) were significantly more likely
to experience satisfaction with the quality of their rest.

• Sabbath keepers were also significantly more likely to experience
satisfaction with their quantity of rest.

The findings of this study represent a call to professionals to
reconsider how this ancient practice may be a healing force in our
own lives. The intentional pulling away from the demands of work,
the choice to pause and acknowledge God’s purpose and power in our
lives and in His world, these are powerful forces in our lives as
Christian practitioners. These themes are worthy of our earnest
personal reflection.

It does not matter.  God will fuck you up for your sins no matter what you believe.  It is what you do that matters.

You don't kill people who work on Sabbath, you go to hell.  As simple as that. That is what the Bible says.

If a law has no penalty, it has no force. but it does not follow that because we do not believe in stoning people therefore we believe there will be no punishment for those who violate the Sabbath or any other part of the law of God.

The only difference between the ancient Jewish order of things and ours today is as regards the time of punishment and the executor of the punishment. When God was the direct ruler, He saw fit to have an immediate punishment inflicted. Now the evil-doer must look forward to the last great day of judgment . (See Heb. 10:26-29)

Therefore let not the Sabbath breaker feel at ease in his mind simply because God has not suddenly brought sudden judgment upon him for his violation of the fourth precept of the decalogue, which declares that the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, Creator of heaven and earth.

The story is told of a certain godless man who found special delight in flaunting his disobedience of the Sabbath command . He lived in a locality where the other farmers near him where devout Sabbath keepers. When October came and he harvested his crop, he found that he had even more in his barn than his neighbors.

Meeting the Sabbath keeping minister on the street one day, he gloatingly mentioned this fact. The minister's only reply was: "God does not always make a full settlement in October." No better answer could have been given.

The faithful Sabbath keeper awaits the day of final judgment to receive his full reward for obedience to God, the Creator of the whole earth. And likewise, the Sabbath violator must await that last great day of accounting in order to receive the final reward for his failure to obey the explicit command of God. The violation of the law of god is sin, the scriptures inform us (1 John 3:4), and the wages of sin is death (rom. 6:23). is that not sufficient penalty?

Thank you for admitting Christianity directs it's followers to do violence.

According to you, the Bible is the word of God.

Are you saying that now Christianity no longer follows the word of God?

Why are you not killing people who are gay and work on Sabbath?  You are disobeying your God!!!!

You'll burn in the lake of fire because you do not follow what God commanded you to do in the Bible.

Why are you not smashing babies of your enemies against the rock?

You are a great sinner, God will fuck you up real good.

When anyone, as a follower of any type of deity/religion labels you, because you are a non-follower of that deity/religion


a pagan,
a heretic,
a heathen,
an infidel,
an idolater,
a disbeliever or an unbeliever, even a nonbeliever
or a skeptic


...and you believe him...


...he has now committed the worst of all possible sins in this world: he has completely and utterly violated the integrity of your soul and the saneness of your being. In short, he mentally just raped you. This kind of mental violence is just as destructive as the physical kind of violence which certain religions inflict on people, period.

Evolution is impossible

Evolution is an impossible lie.

Bible is an impossible book.

Bible is the truth

Well, thank you for the wonderful passage directed at some people of ancient Israel.

Thank goodness that Christianity has passed this stage... at least in Biblical directives.
