What is the purpose/goal in KARMA?
Answers: 19 Views: 1650 Rating: 1 Posted: 13 years ago
Greetings Kimberly, In God's Word there is a concept Jesus tuaght that what a man sows a man will reap. Sow good deeds and you will reap good things, sow bad deeds and you will reap bad things. According to God's Word, all do bad deeds and all do good deeds, no one is perfect, only Jesus was perfect, of course He was God in the flesh. Since all sin, all are condemned by God to death, not reincarnation to try try again. But praise God for He has made a way for a sinful person to come to Him spotless and white as snow! God sent Jesus Christ His Son, to take on the flesh of mankind and to be a sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. My sins and your sins Kim. THose who accept God's attonement for sin by trusting in Jesus' work on the cross God will pardon and give a new heart that sets their mind on worshipping God and loving God and others. THis God calls being "born-again". It is spiritual, not physical. God does not do reincarnations, God works above this concept, on the spiritual plane. God recreates the broken sinful spirit in people through regeneration. Giving the person who calls on Him through Jesus Christ a new heart, quickening the spirit within. Reincarnation is a hopeless religion that can only come from a hopeless thought from a sinful man trying to create his own way to God. But God works on the spirit within the soul, God does not need lifetimes to perform His miracles, God takes one's soul and spiritually revives that soul into something beautiful in His sight. Although the soul must remain in a body of sin and death until death, God gives the soul a new spirit and a new love for God and God's creation through regeneration, not reincarnation. God actually joins His Spirit with the person's spirit, creating a new spiritual creature. God will not accept anyone who believes they can be good enough to be with Him by their own efforts. That would be making oneself equal with God. God says to those who love Him and have received HIs offer of salvation..... For by grace are ye saved through faith; and this not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in CHrist Jesus unto good works, which God has prepared in advance that we should walk in them. What a beautiful way God has created for His people to live with Him. If only His creation would stop their boasting and humble themselves, submitting themselves to God's way, which is so simple and loving. Read the Gospel of John, it is for everyone, for whosoever will come to God and live! God Bless!

Who here is sick of religious & homosexual debates?
Answers: 13 Views: 728 Rating: 1 Posted: 12 years ago
Generally speaking, those who hate being debated about their beliefs get frustrated because they have trouble defending their answers. Beliefs should always be tested, how else can one learn if what they have believed is actually true?

Which is more important, personal morality or social morality (ethics)?
Answers: 1 Views: 431 Rating: 0 Posted: 12 years ago
Both are equally important and should be based on God's morality.

Hi Alyssa, You say you can find no good reason for going on. Have you ever read the book of John from the New Testament Bible? Why don't you give it a read? Here is a portion..... Jhn 4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. Jhn 4:9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jhn 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. Jhn 4:11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Jhn 4:12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? Jhn 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: Jhn 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Jhn 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. I pray Jesus will intervene on your behalf.

Hi Alyssa, Do you believe there is a God? Take some time to cry out to Him, tell Him how you feel, even if it is anger, be honest with Him. Ask Him where He is in your life. Ask Him why it seems He is nowhere around. Ask Him to show Himself. I will be praying for you right now. Psa 71:12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.

What reward does your religion offer you, and why? ;-)
Answers: 4 Views: 602 Rating: 1 Posted: 12 years ago
Greetings Grit, Jesus Christ being God who created all things in heaven and on earth has offered all that He has and is to those who simply believe Him. Jesus offers a new birth, Spirit indwelling spirit, giving us a new heart of love towards God and one another. In Christ, forgiveness is offered to all who have done wrong in life. For without Christ, no one can be saved from the curse of sin and death.

can christian person be possessed with evil like that girl in exorcism of emily rose?
Answers: 8 Views: 674 Rating: 0 Posted: 12 years ago
Ever seen those documentaries on preachers casting demons out of people in their congregation? They press their bible or a cross against their head and scream and shout at the demon to leave the person. 1) If a person is possessed they are not a Christian. To be a Christian one must be indwelled by the Spirit of Christ/Holy Spirit, (born again). Once one has the Holy Spirit of Christ living in them there is no way an evil spirit can enter. 2) The examples given in God's Word concerning casting out demons do not include pressing "holy" objects on the person and spending hours screaming at the demon to leave. Demons are cast out simply by a spoken word by a true Christian in the name of Jesus Christ and by fasting and prayer. God is not evoked into action by props and sacred prayers or the sprinkling of "holy" water. It doesn't work that way, so when you see them on TV performing for the cameras don't be taken in by them.

I SURE DID MISS COLLEEN ,HOW ABOUT YOU
Answers: 11 Views: 862 Rating: 2 Posted: 12 years ago
It probably depends on who you are. I personally enjoyed deliberating with her and was able to learn a good deal about how one believes in karma and reincarnation. However the nasty personal attacks I don't miss. She is very intolerant of views that clashed with her own.
