Thanks Matt What about the power of all us together. All different religions praying to together

You would think it would be powerful.

I think that's why the crew is so great. We are all

different faiths but have one common problem.

And its bring us together as one strong force

Is any one religion better than other ?Will other religions tell they are the way to Heaven. They will try.Does anyone really have the answer NOPE NONE. Including that Baptist minister. I have learned to disregard ANYONE who claims to know "the will of God" or to have the key to heaven. Maybe if we all just acted like we really believed that we are all God's children, instead of squabbling (or worse) over which is the "true" religion, we would all get to heaven. Matt

I just needed the knowledge and thought

you might like to read it also. Because

you all are my friends.

I admit I'm not a very religious person. Most of the

prayers Russ prayed were way over my head.

I'm not a catholic but a Presbyterian. So last night

I sat up reading about the catholic religion.I really had no idea what the theology was .

I know about my own religion. But not much about others.

`Conerning Religion

There are many to follow. The true religon is that belive in the resurection of Christ and folloe his teachings. Three major teachings are as follows. 1 Be Baptized 2 follow hes comandments 3 have Faith in his power. The writers of the 4 Gosples are facts of Christs life as he lived in the flesh amough us. There there to tell of the new covenet of God's will to us, obey His laws and you will be saved. Just beliving is not enough. We must show Faith in His death by dieing as we are lowered into the water. As we are brought up out of the water we are resurected in a new body of Christ. Now we start a new life in Christ. We aer not perfect people but we can be forgiven and God will forget our sins.

We can go to Acts and it showes the way we are to live as CHRISTIANS. The rest of the New Testmant is about the fine tuneing of Christs teachings, explaining the parables he taught in. It also defines some or most laws to relive some of the old Jewish customs that were a block to becoming a Christian by nonJews. The book of Revelations is a book of proficy and is not to be taken lightly. Very hard to interpuret. There are many books on this, it tells who will and who won't be saved.

Now we can deal with evelotion. There is One Supream Being that rules the world. It is a fact. Look at each little cell of the body can this come from a big bang. I hardly think so. There had to be someone to start CREATING day, night, water, air, grasses, flowers, animals, humans, as this goes we reproduce in hie image not a BANG!!!! your it threy.

This is getting long and there are too be many questons. I can be reached at (loveshackg@...) I'll try to get an answer as soon as I can.

I sat up reading about the catholic religion.I really had no idea what the theology was .

I know about my own religion. But not much about others.

And there are so many over 4,200 religions

All thinking that there religion and theres alone is the only gateway to heaven.

Baptist think if your not

dunked all the way under the water you won't go to

Heaven. I was sprinkled.

Mormons think they have

the only true bible. must remain loyal and obedient to the church in order to get a temple recommend that allows entrance therein to heaven.

Muslims

think the Qur'an quite literally the voice of God.

Jews believe in Judaism and the thirteen principles of faith. Rambam.

Hinduism and Buddhism, Jainism are holy and spiritually enlightened beings,

Africa is (48%) Christian

Theres a Pagan religion who belive in Voodoo.

Romans were also called pagans in the early days.

Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, and Danish peoples

are trying to find there old religion ,(true ancient religion ) Norse .

Shinto religious faith of many Japanese

Chinese discouraged religion

Native Americans in North and South America

Animism is the belief that natural objects, natural phenomena, and the universe itself possess souls or consciousness.

Christianity teachings of Jesus Christ the chosen one.

Early Christians taught that the sins of the people would be forgiven if they became Christian.

one-third of the world's population is Christian

About half of the world's Christian population is Roman Catholic. at one time it was the universal faith of all Christians

Many European leaders, including Luther and Calvin, protested against the Pope in a period known as the Reformation. became known as Protestant sects

Baptists (34 million)

Methodists (13 million)

Lutherans ( 8 million)

Presbyterians that's me (4 million)

Episcopalians (2.5 million)

Pentecostals (2.4 million)Roman Catholic.( 62.2m) 22% of US population

that's only in US world 1.045 b

Christianity is a dominant force on every continent but Asia (9%). Most of the world's population is in Asia, so only one-third of the world's population is Christian

The followers of Jesus became known as Christians

About fifty years after Jesus died, Christians combined the stories of the life and wisdom of Jesus into four books known as Gospels. the Bible

two parts Old Testament sacred writings of the Jewish people .

New Testament letters written by and other Christian writers.

winning new converts to the faith Is what all

religions do..

Recently a Baptist minister told me that all of

my family would not go to heaven . Because

we were sprinkled in stead of dunked.

This made me so mad. And what Russ said

made me mad. About the prayers.

But what he said about Marcus made steam.

I have two children with that same crooked

smile. That was a heartless thing so say.

Back to religion

Who do you belive ( what about Evolution) ?

Our smartest people in the world belive in

Evolution. But most of us couldn't belive that

there

was no Adam & Eve or no baby Jesus.

So what do we belive ?

Will we be ridiculed for our beliefs or non

beliefs ?

Is any one religion better than other ?

Will other religions tell they are the way to

Heaven. They will try.

Does anyone really have the answer NOPE.

Don't take any wooden nickles.

Don't take anything at face value.

"...A very intolerant religion yes ..." I am curious why you say

that. I was also raised Catholic and am still practicing. I was never taught

anything about Catholicism being the only way to Heaven - in fact, I was

taught that all people that accept God will go to Heaven. When we pray for

others we always include other faiths. Of course, the Church haas a tainted

past but that past in no way reflects the true nature of the religion. Throughout

History ignorance has always bred corruption which includes Catholicism,

Monarchies, and many other institutions. The Catholic church has never given

credence to anti-Semitism as many other Christian faiths have - I was always

taught the the Jewish were God's chosen - no questions asked. I am eager

to hear your comments. :-)

I am not saying I disagree with what you write or Lori or anyone else but this subject is a VERY BAD idea on crew. While it is very interesting, it could do irreversible harm to our group.

as a moderator of this list I really think we should not get to far off

unrrest over various sensitive topics. I miss Bob.

Sorry not to get back sooner on rel.101 but I lost this message.

On the subject of Jews being the chossen people, they were at one time before the comming of Christ. If you read in the New Testament in the book of Acts chapter 15 verse 1-2-3-5 It will state that it is for all. More referances on the subject are Acts 6:2-9' I hope this will clesr it up'
