They couldn't be wrong, could they? I mean, seriously, it is plausible that aliens came here and put us here, isn't it?

I'm a Methodist. I listen to all religions. I believe in what I believe in. I believe God has a plan for everyone. I believe God wants us to help out our fellow man/woman. We are all here together. We should get along (that doesn't mean we will).

It's up to you in what you believe in and if you believe in God and a higher purpose in life. Nobody can tell you what to believe in. A truly good religion will give you what it believes and allow you to make your own decisions.

Maybe sit down and think about what you believe in, then go from there.

Or go watch The Big Lebowski or Half Baked.

I have dinner with my Dad every Sunday. My kids were asking him all kinds of questions about his parents and grandparents and such, mostly for my son's school project.

After answering them all the best that he could, what with his PSP and memory issues and all, he turns to me and asks, "Are there any questions you wanted to ask me?"

So I said, "Why on this night do we eat reclined when on all other nights we eat sitting up?"

I made Dad laugh. :)

Well actually all "Christians" are the same religion, there simply Christians.

Now there are many denominations for Christians...... Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, church of Christ, non denominational, Presbyterian, Catholicism, episcopalian.....

The first thing I would do is find a personal relationship with the trinity. (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) aka god, aka holy gosh, aka Jesus, all the same.

The Second Choice that I would make is decide rather you want to be Catholic or Protestant. (Catholicism is by itself, all other Christian denominations are Protestants denominations). "Pro-Test"

For Example, I'm Baptist and my girlfriend is Catholic. (good luck figuring that one out right? lol). Anytime you having a relationship with someone who is catholic and your a protestant, it is more difficult, and vice versa. Nothing against either, but they are very similar, yet very different.

Either way, follow and "try" to do what Jesus did and taught, that demolishes all denomination debate of who is right and who is wrong (i tend to do a poor job of this). Most things in the new testament are very debatable, that is why there are so many branches of Christianity (denominations). However, the things Jesus wanted to make clear, he made clear. John 3:16 is good verse to start on too.

An oldie but a goodie....


Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law, (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

"First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, lets look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.

Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not Belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Teresa Banyan during my Freshman year, "...that it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you.", and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then, #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze." the student received the only "A" given.

That's all religion is is faith. What other religions talk about hell (everlasting fire) for non believers? I'll stick with the bible, and take my chances. People might say a bunch of drunks could have wrote it. Well you could say that for anything. Your right the bible does want us to fear hell, and people should. JMO

Incorrect.

Moravian Christians, for example, aren't Protestant, nor are they Catholic. Moravianism popped up several years before Luther.

And the term "Protestant" doesn't mean "In protest of the Catholic Church" it derives from letters of protest against the Diet of Speyer.

Eastern Orthodox Christians aren't protestant or Catholic either.

Methodist. Mine.

I know you are probably joking, but this misconception of religion drives me nuts...Being Methodist is not a religion, it is a denomination of Christianity...Once we all accept that, we can then decide which religion is correct...Or not, because it is clearly not our place to JUDGE...Believe it or not, Muslim's, Jew's and Chrisitian's all essentially believe in the same good book with very different interpretations of the book...They believe in One God and different side-kicks, but it gets very murky when you study the philosophies of each or their chosen leader of the truth...There are many other religions on this earth and some were created specifically by evil to confuse followers, but trust in your god given morals and you shall be fine...Why is it that we are all essentially created equal at birth and all have essentially the same philosophy, do unto others as you would have done to you...That is until you are influenced by organized religion...Faith is much different...

Best part about faith is it is accepted by many for many different reasons and about many different influences...

One thing that we all should agree on but none of us do, is the fact that we are not the ones who were sent to judge others, that is left to the Almighty, if you choose to believe in Him...Have faith in your beliefs and accept that others do not believe the same thing as you, and do your best to inform on what you believe without forcing anybody into it...

So what you are saying is that each of these "Denominations" are derived from Christianity? The question you have to ask is, which believes that Jesus Christ was the son of God and that He gave His only begotten son for the redemption of mankind? So they are all Christians...Next religion please...

Question for the Lutherans on the board.

We went to a Lutheran service and they did a "Profession of Faith". It was the exact same one we use in the Catholic Church. In it...it says "We believe in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church".

I'm not trying to discount the Lutheran Religion but how can you believe in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church but not attend one?

It was kind of confusing for us.

If any of you have an answer that has more of an answer than "Well...the Lutheran and Catholic Church are a lot alike"...I'd like to try to understand why that's in your "Profession of Faith".

It's not a jab...I just don't understand why you use it.

Question for the Lutherans on the board.

We went to a Lutheran service and they did a "Profession of Faith". It was the exact same one we use in the Catholic Church. In it...it says "We believe in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church".

It's usually spelled "pennants".

I don't know how you eat yourself as such.

No doubt. I hope that there are other millions who do. Either way, I have found peace in my soul by focusing on the object of my faith, Jesus Christ, rather than people who claim to be His followers.

Let me know how things turn out for you, and/or if you come to any conclusions.

You've been above par in your responses and demeanor.:)

God bless you.:)

That's all religion is is faith. What other religions talk about hell (everlasting fire) for non believers?

I'm thinking a few. I also know a few religions just kill you up front if you don't believe.:)



Your right the bible does want us to fear hell, and people should. JMO

Ahhhh....motivation through fear...how "Christ like".:)

Christian do follow his teachings.

Really? Examples?

The religious right sure don't.;)



Everybody sins, its expected. That's what the whole point of the cross is for. One should not try to intentionally sin, but its still forgiving.

People either believe it or they don't.

Sounds like a great "out" for the misbehaved.:D

Well, it's more of a "Don Johnson"/"Chuck Norris" beard instead of a "Grizzley Adams"/"Hacksaw Jim Dougan" kind of beard.

So what you are saying is that each of these "Denominations" are derived from Christianity? The question you have to ask is, which believes that Jesus Christ was the son of God and that He gave His only begotten son for the redemption of mankind? So they are all Christians...Next religion please...

This is the problem with Christianity, we all try and interpret the Bible in the way we see fit, but that is not what we are supposed to do, but that is the flaw of mankind...

Is it the flaw of mankind, or the flaw of the Bible? Are these different denominations the results of man's willful mis-interpretations of the Bible, or the result of the Bible's lack of clarity?

And of course no discussion on biblical interpretation is complete without questioning the selection process (or "cherry picking" as I like to call it) of the books that make up the Bible.

Of course, this has all been discussed - in depth - here:
