Comment on ABORTION – some questions for Christians by rudebags

Using a bit of humor. Try “Please look, but don’t touch.” Or turn the tables and say, “You can touch my tummy if I can touch yours.”

Comment on YouTube Debates – Jesus and the death penalty by Matt Stone

I think he would say, “He who is without sin can cast the first stone.” Oh, wait, he already said that didn’t he.

Comment on THE CASE FOR TORTURE….? by Matt Stone

I don’t think torture can ever be reconciled with the teachings of Jesus – no matter how useful the information may be – so there is a choise.

Comment on Did ‘24′ help Obama? by gnomechompski

As an American I would say that, yes, seeing a “black president” on TV did help Obama. Trying to calculate exactly how much is probably impossible. And I would like to think that voters would think harder about their choice then just matching what they’ve gotten used to seeing on TV. But then pop culture is a decent view into the “hive-mind” and what it’s thinking. I’d suggest anytime you see something “controversial” on a major network TV show… it’s not that controversial and the culture that spawned it is probably more open to accepting it then perhaps they even know themselves.

Hi Evangeline;

Glad to see you writing again.

Religion helps some understand, yet I find as I get a little older I am discovering more by acknowledging and considering that which touches me in life through my senses.

I am convinced and have always been sure that there is an entity that created and watches over us spiritually.

Being a stubborn and argumentative type, I have voiced my frustrations and displeasure with God, but in hindsight that was me not understanding or willing to accept that which is. That which binds us.

Have a great weekend!

Your friend

Robert

more spirituality and less religion might make the world a much better place?

I agree with you. Spirituality seems to be more of a person’s own relationship with a supreme being, or else that personal connection to the spiritual side of our lives.

Religion is a medium to achieve that I think. Spirituality is our spiritual relationship with ourselves and with “god”. Religion is simply a word we use to describe/understand the process of seeking that spiritual fulfillment.

Comment on THE BIBLE – WRITINGS OF MEN by glennjack

Evangeline, I believe the Old Testament is important because it records the story of how imperfect people live in relationship with God. Besides, the entire Bible is one story – God loving his creation and continually pursuing a relationship with his people. God’s original covenant with Abraham “Through your seed all nations will be blessed”, is fulfilled in the coming of Jesus, who then establishes a new covenant between God and his people based upon faith in him (Jesus). It’s not that the old covenant was bad, it was just the precursor to the new. Jesus set us free from the trappings of the old covenant through his death and resurrection. Christians are not necessarily Jewish, but we are children of Abraham. I have found that reading the Old Testament, especially the Psalms, can be quite helpful to me in my relationship to God.
