When one gives, whether they realize it or not, they are creating a relationship where they are the superior, and the recipient of the charity the inferior. It can be good for the giver to humble himself to the taker by asking for their help. This validates the Taker and equalifies the...

No, I agree, but I am just saying to keep in mind that they are trying to outrage you. This is their game. They are trying to turn society against you.

The Bible has 3 temptations written down (these are the same 3 that Jesus faced in the desert): lust of the flesh, lust of the eye, and the pride of life. Lust of the flesh - bodily pleasure Lust of the eye - ambition Pride of life - self-righteousness The last one caused Lucifer's fall, the...

Canada is a completely corrupt country.

Be wary not to take their bait. They want to make you angry, to provoke you. This is the entire purpose of their blasphemy. Transexuals are the modern day harlot of the pharisees. The powers that be find someone morally reprehensible and parade them in front of you, asking you what should be...

Funnily enough, I think that this phrase, though very widely known, is too open to metaphorical interpretation to be used as proof of my claims. There is a punishment prescribed by God for the original sin: Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the...

Much of Christian doctrine owes an intellectual lineage to Plato and his theories. I find it truly amazing that he was able to intuit the things he said even before Christ. It makes me confident that there are many churches in the world - including non-Christian ones, which all serve the same...

I would have to disagree with this interpretation because the concept of being punished by lineage is already part of the question Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? So this would make the question entirely redundant to itself with this interpretation: did...

May Jesus Christ guide you and protect you from harm.

The Kingdom of God is already here Luke 17 20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within...

Though I have zero background in eastern philosophy, I can note that the fundamental principle of our physical world is the flow of energy. Without different energy levels, movement would be impossible. For example, if you have a container with high pressure, it will shoot air out when opened...

Aristotle solved the problem of proving God millenia ago with the prime mover argument. The physical universe could not exist without the metaphysical. Plato and his theory of Idealism explained the metaphysical nature of our world (and Jung later expanded upon it with his theory of the...

Our entire society is satanic (one only has to turn on MTV to prove this) and all politicians in our society are corrupt because they must peddle influence to wealthy donors for campaign funding. People are fundamentally good, we all want the same things, affordable living, a safe community...

When you look at someone with inappropriately carnal thoughts (in your case, homosexuality), a demon of lust enters your eye. Do what Jesus suggested, and pluck the eye out. Or in other words, avert your gaze from someone that you might find tempting! Keep distance between you and them. Remove...

I think that what I am really learning is, as Plato said, man can only know that man really knows nothing. There is so much metaphor and ambiguity that it is impossible to really determine what happens after death, especially because, unlike most religions, the Bible is actually quite vague on...

I personally believe that God wants us to connect for others and care for others, so asking someone to pray for you is a way to make this happen. Knowing someone else cares about you I think has value, and also stopping to reflect on someone else's suffering also has value. God acts on the world...

Matthew 18 19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

I personally believe that the Kingdom of Heaven is the ability to look at anything and see the good in it. Everything that happens is God's will and serves a purpose. If you got a raise, it is a blessing from God, if you didn't, it is a lesson in being happy with little. It is also the ability...

One cannot comprehend the idea of omniscience. Let's say you have a choice of A or B. Must it be one or the other? That is a very human way of looking at things. God's mind has many more dimensions than ours. What if both choices happen simultaneously in different universes? What if there are...

I laughed at this, but in fact I truly am baffled that there are people who think that the "bosom of Abraham" is a literal place. The parable is about a poor diseased man who starved to death at a rich man's door watching him party. As the poor man and the rich man are in the afterlife, it is...
