Christianity EtcRe: Dont Follow Jesus the man. Following Jesus the man Is Idolatry by FromGuiriga(m): 6:53pm On Apr 12, 2013
obadiah777: LOL YOU GUYS ARE GETTING HUNG UP ON TECHNICALITY. OK I IMPLORE YOU TO OPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL EYE. THEN STUDY THESE TWO VERSES

JOHN 1 VS 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

JOHN 1 VS 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God

LET ME ADD ONE MORE

EXODUS 20 VS 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,

EXODUS 20 VS 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,

Then can you explain: Exodus 25:18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.

Thanks in advance.

obadiah777: THIS IS WHY IT IS A SIN TO MAKE ANY GRAVEN IMAGES TO THE MAN. EXODUS 20 VS 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,

YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW THE WORDS IN THE BIBLE. THIS IS WHAT JESUS IS. THE WORD, NOT THE MAN. FOLLOWING THE MAN IS IDOLATRY

REVELATION 19 VS 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God <<< HIS NAME IS THE WORD OF GOD WHICH IS THE BIBLE

JOHN 1 VS 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. <<< THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH. OK SO THE WORD SUPERSEDES THE FLESH OF THE MAN. SO TRYING TO WORSHIP THE MAN IS IDOLATRY. THE WORD IS WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FOLLOWING.

IN CONCLUSION-DO NOT FOLLOW THE MAN. THIS IS CARNAL. FOLLOW THE WORD.

YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW THE WORDS IN THE BIBLE.

Which bible are you talking about? Please advise.
Christianity EtcRe: Advice - I Was Intimate With My Best Friends Wife by FromGuiriga(m): 3:22pm On Apr 07, 2013
Well, I will give my opinion on this:

I think you should let your "friend" know.
I mean, his wife is loose and you know it. It is your responsibility to let him know his wife is loose.

Trust me, once you stop messing with her, she will just find someone else to fool around with. Don't think you are special.You are not.

Resolution: Let your friend know and it will be up to him whether they want to save their marriage by going to counseling and all the other stuff. I mean, they do have four children.

It will be up to him if he wants to keep you as a friend also. It will hurt your friend, but he is the one that needs to make an informed decision, and you have part of that information you feel me.

The lesson: Don't spend time alone with a woman that is not your wife!!!


Good luck bro.

Would you not want to know?
Christianity EtcRe: Is Smoking Of Marijuana A Sin? by FromGuiriga(m): 2:55pm On Apr 07, 2013
Since this is a religious forum, I'll give you a religious answer.

James 4:17 "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."

So it is up to you bro. If you think you should not do it but still do it, then to you it is a sin. If you think you are doing no wrong then it is not a sin to you. Although it might be a sin to someone else.


My personal opinion, if you care, no.
IslamRe: I’m A Faithful Muslim- Bikini Model by FromGuiriga(m): 4:25am On Apr 07, 2013
Muslim or not. She is not dressed modestly. (Just my opinion)

She said:"I have a lot of internal struggles..."

But the all mighty dollar is very powerful, to the point of covering internal struggles.

If you know you are doing wrong, then let it go. Don't matter how much money they pay you. You might have financial struggles but NOT internal ones.

A peace of mind is ALWAYS worth more than a piece of gold!

The all mighty dollar boy!

Christianity EtcRe: What Will Be The Fate Of Those Mentally Challenged on Judgement Day? by FromGuiriga(m):
obadiah777: I SEE WHERE YOU ARE GETTING AT NOW. GOOD QUESTION TOO. LET ME THINK BRB

I AM GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT QUESTION TO MY ATTENTION. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE STORIES OR PARABLES WITH DEEPER MEANING TO IT. NOW THE STORY IS SYMBOLIC OF ISRAEL THE ELECT BEING IN DARKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. THE MAN BORN BLIND IS THE ELECT WHO HAVE BEEN BLINDED BECAUSE THEY WERE TAKEN OVER BY THE ROMAN EMPIRE AND THE ROMAN DOCTRINE IS NOW PREVALENT AND THEY ARE STARTING TO ASSIMILATE INTO ROMAN WAYS NOW. THEY ARE NOW THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT CHRIST CAME FOR SO AS TO SPIRITUALLY RESSURECT THEM ( GIVE THEM SIGHT ) ( MATTHEW 27 VS 51-53). AND THIS WORK WOULD BE DONE WHEN CHRIST IS AROUND ( WHICH WOULD BE THE DAY. THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD IS DAY ) BECAUSE WHEN HE IS GONE IT WOULD BE NIGHT ( ABSENCE OF HIS LIGHT IN THE WORLD ). AND THATS THE DEEPER MEANING. GREAT QUESTION. GOT ME THINKING.

THE PART ABOUT THE DAY AND NIGHT I WENT TWO VERSES OR SO BELOW THE FOCAL VERSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
Thanks, I will look into as I have some issues with that interpretation...I will post my objection perhaps tomorrow.

So I don't go off on a tangent here, when you say Israel do you mean the people who are living in the land of Canaan (present day Israel/Palestine)? I mean you do know they are Germans/Russians right? According to scholars that is what Ashkenazim means. And rightfully so, from the tribe of Japhet. Yeah man, straight from Europe.

Speaking Biblical, my understanding is that Judah is to be from Shem NOT Japhet. Maybe I'm wrong and can use some correction.

I mention this because of:
Matthew 15:24 "So he answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
If you mean Jesus was sent for them, then Jesus was not send for the Africans, Indians, South American and so on...?

This is disturbing...Don't you think? Especially because I'm an African!


But either way, thanks for the reasoning.

I've gone a bit off topic...sorry.
Christianity EtcRe: What Will Be The Fate Of Those Mentally Challenged on Judgement Day? by FromGuiriga(m):
ATMC: are you implying intimacy is a sin?no! What makes a person a sinner is not that his folks were intimate. This is cos intimacy was approved of god! Can god approve sin? I think not so! Sexx is good not sinful.
No, I am not implying that...I was addressing the fact that Christians say we are all born sinners. But here we have a case where Jesus himself said the blind man was not a sinner neither were his parents.

Foreign AffairsRe: Bangladesh Protesters Demand Death Penalty For Bloggers Who Insult Islam. by FromGuiriga(m): 11:25pm On Apr 06, 2013
akereconfi: Bangladesh protesters demand
blasphemy law
Last updated: 4 hours ago
Hundreds of thousands of marchers call for
law that would include death penalty for
bloggers who insult Islam.
One person has been killed as hundreds of
thousands of people continued protests in
Bangladesh to demand that the government
introduce an anti-blasphemy law that would
include the death penalty for bloggers who
insult Islam.
Nowsher Khan, a local leader of the Awami
League was killed in Bhanga, a town south
west of Dhaka on Saturday, when Hefazat-e-
Islami party supporters clashed with Awami
League supporters.
The protest on Saturday, called the "long
march", with many travelling from remote
villages, was sparked after a group of
bloggers allegedly began criticising
conservative religious parties that are widely
popular despite Bangladesh's secular
constitution.
Allegedly backed by Jamaat-e-Islami
party, Hefazat-e-Islam, an Islamic group
which draws support from tens of thousands
of seminaries, organised the rally in support
of its 13-point demand including enactment
of a blasphemy law to prosecute and hang
atheist bloggers.
Dhaka has been virtually cut off from the
rest of the country since Friday afternoon,
after secularists called a 22-hour nationwide
strike to obstruct the march.
Both secular and Muslim protesters have taken
to the streets over the war crimes trials of
leaders of the Jamaat-e-Islami party in cases
related to the 1971 war against Pakistan in
which three million people were killed and
many thousands of women were raped.
Youth protests
Abdul Quader Mollah was sentenced to life
in prison in February spurring youth protests
calling for a death sentence for him instead.
This led to counter-protests by religious
parties in the country.
Clashes erupted days later when well-known
protester and blogger, Ahmed Rajib Haider,
was killed, followed by more deaths in
ensuing violence.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, Shakil Ahmed, the
head of output for Ekattor television in
Bangladesh, said that the protests on Saturday
were peaceful and had been fuelled
by misinformation on both sides.
"Wrong information has been spread out by
some of the activists," said Ahmed.
Al Jazeera's correspondent, who cannot be
named for safety reasons, speaking from
Dhaka on Saturday, said that very huge
crowds had gathered.
She confirmed that protests were peaceful but
said that one death had been reported on
Friday night and another on Saturday
morning.
An activist from the ruling Awami League
was reportedly shot dead after the secularists
clashed with hundreds of seminary students
holding a rally in support of the march, local
police chief Yasir Arafat told AFP news
agency.
"Authorities have become more and more
experienced in dealing with the protests ...
Right now they are trying to contain the
crowds and are making sure that it does not
get violent."
Our correspondent said that while there was a
lot of support for the march from the
countryside where Hefazat-e-Islam is good at
mobilising people from, the country is very
divided.
'Explosive' situation
Zafar Sobhan, the editor of the Dhaka
Tribune, speaking to Al Jazeera's via Skype
from Dhaka, said that while the government
was had maintained a "neutral line" and was
"scrambling" to prevent an "explosive"
situation, he thinks it was unlikely that a
blasphemy law would be introduced.
He said that the march was less about a
blasphemy law but was more of a reaction to
calls for the death penalty for political party
leaders being tried for war crimes.
"The march is more of a, if you [the
bloggers] are going to demand the death
penalty against us [the political party leaders,
then we are going to demand a death penalty
against you."
Our correspondent said that the real pressure
would be felt in the country's economy.
"Every time there is a strike it shuts down the
economy ... Economic issues are likely to put
pressure on the ruling Awami party."
Last week, four online writers were arrested
on charges of hurting religious sentiment
through their Internet writings against Islam.
Sobhan said the arrests were being seen as a
"heavy-handed measure" to appease Islamists.
Operators of top Bangladeshi blogs blacked
out their sites on Thursday to protest against
the government move.
They say the government has been kowtowing
to the religious activists.
Home Minister Muhiuddin Khan on
Wednesday said the government had
identified 11 bloggers, including the four
detainees, who had hurt the religious
sentiments of the nation's majority Muslim
population.
The government has blocked about a dozen
websites and blogs to stem the unrest. It has
also set up a panel, which includes intelligence
chiefs, to monitor blasphemy on social media.
Under the country's cyber laws, a blogger or
Internet writer can face up to ten years in jail
for defaming a religion.

Christianity EtcRe: Pastor Rick Warren’s Youngest Son Matthew, 27, Commits Suicide by FromGuiriga(m): 11:13pm On Apr 06, 2013
graciella: The Saddleback Valley Community Church announced on Saturday that Pastor Rick and Kay Warren ‘s youngest son, Matthew , has committed suicide after the 27-year-old’s long struggle with mental illness.
In a statement, the evangelical megachurch remembered the son as “an incredibly kind, gentle and compassionate young man whose sweet spirit was encouragement and comfort to many.” Matthew apparently suffered from mental illness, depression, and suicidal tendencies. He took his own life on Friday.
“Despite the best healthcaretavailable, this was an illnessthat was never fully controlled and the emotional pain resulted in his decision to take his life,” the statement said.
The Southern Californian megachurch was founded in 1980 by Pastor Warren, who has become an influential evangelist and author of well-known books like The Purpose Driven Life.

But why Suicide? Is that the best option?
My condolence to the the pastor and his family. May his son rest in peace.
Was it the best option? I don't know. To him it was the best option at the time...
Christianity EtcRe: Bangladesh Protesters Demand Blasphemy Law by FromGuiriga(m): 11:06pm On Apr 06, 2013
EUROBOMBER: Muslims in Bangladesh are protesting and demanding for a blasphemy law to be put in place that would ensure that bloggers that insult islam are executed. The question is why are muslims so intolerant and why is it that muslims are protesting every where?

Source:

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia/2013/04/20134661058364976.html
If they don't want to be insulted then don't insult them (knowingly). No problem.
They also should not insult Christians or other religions (knowingly). Otherwise they should also executed.

I think that's fair.

alfaman2: Christians don't know their Bible, nor the god they worship.
Let us hear from Jesus himself talking about John, his cousin, the baptist.

Matthew 11:13-14

13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.


If like his disciples, you didn't understand first time, look at this:

Matthew 17:10-13

10 The disciples asked him, “Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”

11 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. 12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.



Your god believes in reincarnation and you are here doubting. Yeye.
This is very interesting...because when they asked John if he was Elijah, he denied it.
(John 1:21) So they asked him, "Well then, are you Elijah?" John said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No."


I have reasoned over this myself...Elijah lived hundreds of years before so the people standing in front of Jesus would not have recognized him anyway. Even if one of them standing there there lived in Elijah's time and met him. They would still not recognized him anyway because if Elijah, himself did not know he was Elijah (assuming he did not lied when he denied it) then they would have no recollection of their past life neither.

What's your take on that?

Thanks in advance.

@kenyattaMoore:
We are born sinners because of the way we come into the world,"sexual way"
So how did that man and his parents came into the world. Jesus clearly said: Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. (John 9:3)

That verse contradicts your belief does it not?

Furthermore, the fact that I came into this world the "intimate way" then how can I repent of a sin I did not commit (my parents did, by bringing into this world the "intimate way"?

Can you please address these two things for me please.

Thanks in advance

1MCN: It's so sad that this generation look for signs and wonders alone and this singular disposition and ideology has derailed more christians than scandals and blasphemy and heresy all put together, and the only sign they'd see is that of Jonah says Christ.
How come we only believe it's only when we touch a sick and they are healed then we can say even greater things than Christ have they done. Christianity is a rich stew of talents and gifts and apostolate. We heal by songs, show of charity, exhortation, teaching, exorcism, etc.
Even Paul admitted that he was not called to baptize. I wonder how that sounds to you.
It sounds good. But I mean, someone said here that the Pope is the representative of Jesus Christ.

I don't think the pope did anything wrong. In fact I think what he did is commendable and an act of love toward the child if he in his heart did it out of love.

It's not about signs and wonders but about a child being in that condition who you will think a representative of Jesus Christ will heal.

Here is my issue man...these fanatics here say this and that when it comes to the nitty gritty like healing the child, that they don't mention.

Check out Jesus answer: "Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him."
I don't want to derail the conversation, if that man was not a sinner neither his parents, then how can his blindness be a judgment toward him?

Also, Any Christian want to answer why they say we are all born sinners, when here in black and white Jesus is saying "Neither this man nor his parents sinned..."
