what is the best religion
Hi there !
the best religion is the one that gets you closer to God and makes you a better person.” Expanding on that, he says “whatever makes you more compassionate, more sensible.. more loving, more responsible. The religion that will do that for you is the best religion.
This religion is just moving around you; I have the one that, along with this can make the world a place worth living, free of terrorism and promote love among human-that is Christianity.

Hi !
We proclaim, that we have truth come on share the truth with us. We say we have peace come on, share this peace with us and we proclaim we have life come on share that with us.
We proclaim we have true love and have this love. We have Jesus, have Jesus ! We, the Christians (not so called), are here to give you what we have if someone is not willing to receive; it is his choice and we still love him.
We live with this faith(some thing beyond reasoning and knowledge and rationality).
that Jesus is the only way. I, like any other believer, am confident, what I say about my Jesus.
Under my faith, I am supposed to bring the Gospel or Jesus to every one. I have not done anything wrong in putting this question and nor was intended to humiliate or hurt anyone!
If someone say I am beautiful, I can tell you the secret of my beauty and how you can beaurify yourself, or I am knowledgeable you can have from my knowledge. I think, but not sure:) no body should feel offended. But if someone says you are weak, you are ugly. you are ignorant, I AM SURE it would certainly hurt.
And my brother you HAVE DONE this to me and many others, here your words are: " Christianity has been very closed minded and has done horrid things to people"
I just knew from the reading stuff above that you don't read bible, I think unless you know Jesus you should not say anything like this, I am really hurt and pray for you.
Again you said" I'm not saying that Christianity in its self is evil or anything but it does promote some violence by giving such closed minded ideas.
It makes too sides and says this is evil and this is good.
You are not lost, you are very tactful and clever person. On one side you say Christianity is not evil, and on the other you say it promotes violence, to me it is weird would you please explain what you mean.
Yes, if you say that by a specific group of Christians (to me, so called), hostility or violence has been exercised, on the name of Christianity, to their advantage, that is right but you are saying all this bad stuff about Christianity and I don't understand how the others on this forum are not checking you out on saying such words.
Knowing about meditation, Chakras, yoga, or some reading stuff against Jesus, does not mean somebody knows every thing, to believers he knows nothing, just a minute a scripture is coming to mind " "For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.Ecclesiastes 1:17-18.
Yes, Jesus marks a clear line between evil and good, and we understand that all the social break down in USA today is because of not marking a line between evil and good
and saying yes, and witnessing every evil thing by putting on a hypo-critic smile on the face.
If you think that being nice and putting a hypo-cryptic smile on face while witnessing non-sense which bible says evil, means being loving and good then your definition of love is quite different that of ours.If some one is doing evil things, you know he is wrong, and still you are putting on a smile to pretend nice and loving this is not love and is an absolute sin which bible calls hypocrisy,
My father has always been hard on me. Whenever I was late from college, or return home late at night. He was, OMG, I mean totally out of temper, this was his love and concern for me, which I had realized and understood in my youth days with him, as I do now.
Yes, and according to you guys of today, my father had no regards or love for me but you believe or not he passed away 20 years back and he is with me all the day and night long, and I will never be able to find that class of love in my life.
Before ending up, few scriptures:
"God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith"Romans 3:25 Jesus is not to be received by wisdom, knowledge or rationality.
"so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power."1 Corinthians 2:5 again not by/on human wisdom.
"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ".Romans 10:17 this is the way one can built up in faith.
I am badly stuck, really have no time, I was compelled to answer cz of your stuff.
READ BIBLE, I LOVE YOU!
Cloud, you are off on a lot of what you say. I cannot get into this anymore here as you will never see what I am saying unless you open the bible for yourself.
Always remember the words I gave you. I am not saying this as a statement that I am not going to talk to you anymore, but I want you to remember "Myown" and what she told you and someday you will say " OMG," but depending on which side of eternity you are on, it will be a " Ah Hah moment" or a " Oh NO moment."
And do me a favor and stop saying what has happened in the name of Christianity or however you worded it. Jesus did nothing bad. Those that have done violent things in the name of Christianity did not represent Jesus. I am getting tired of singing that same ole song.
Jesus taught to love your enemy, not kill your enemy. Your mixing Islam with Christianity. The Koran teaches to kill infidels. People say its the extremist/Muslim who kills those who are against Islam. No that is not true. Its the person who follows their Koran. Ask jd,Pm him, he can tell you as he lives where this happens.
How would you like to live there? You would find out very fast that the BIBLE is the Word of God and how would you know? Because they try to suppress it. And if something has no meaning or has no power, the Muslims over there would not try to suppress it and kill those who stand for Christianity.
See its like this....those who claim to be Christians but don't know what their bible says and they just choose scripture to suit them - out of context, they are the ones who do awful things in the name of Christianity - but its NOT Christianity when you kill a person who doesn't believe the same as you. But it is the Koran. But most of you people don't know that because you like to just talk and hold hands while singing John Lennons All we are saying is give peace a chance,"and not read the Bible.
Katrina, I won't even address you anymore. You like the feel of Buddhism and other religions mixed with Christianity - so that tells me where you are at. You don't know Truth and that is all there is to it - period. So again, Remember "Myown" someday when you cross over too.
And even the ones on this site who truly are Christians, sometimes they see things like this and they try to reason, but there comes a time where the bible says 'don't throw your pearls...." And shake the dust off your shoes...
Hey ya know Sammy Davis Jr, he had a cross, a Jewish star and he also was a member of Anton Levys ~church.~ He tried to cover all bases before he died. Well there is only one base to cover - Only one person who made a home run and that is Jesus Christ - the Almighty.
Take Him or leave Him. But one thing I know, and that is that HE will never leave me nor will He forsake me - how do I know that? Its the Word and the Word is true - cover to cover. So you guys just keep on doing your "guessing" as to what the Word says and keep on mixing religions like cake batter to come up with something that soothes your taste buds,,,
I said what I could and now I shake the dust from posting on this usergroup...
Cloud if you still want to discuss this, I will in the Private forum as I always get hammered on this forum for "not diluting" my religion and gee that sounds wrong to me.
I gotta go. I got important things to do! My cats litter box needs to be changed!:) Zippidy doo Daa, zippidy day,,, I have a feeling I'm gonna have a wonderful day! Are those the Word?
I like Me. I get to spend 24/7 with Meeee. Yahooo,, lucky me!!! I get to be with me, me, me.... Book signing everyone. Form line to the right. Thank you.

Thanks, Cloud. When you get the chance look up this one in the new testament portion of the Christian Bible... "Blessed are the peacemakers..."
For such self-proclaimed exhaltation, it surprised me to find MyOwn's profile "hidden under a basket". There must be great stress there.
I used to wonder about the scripture that admonishes us not to grow weary in doing good, when I was always so tired. I personally now believe that it's an instruction to not wear myself out doing good, and I now realize that stress and weariness (as well as wariness) are signs that my prayer life is not in order.
When I first found this forum it's not the religion I found here that helped me, it was (and I hope will be) the reminder that if I go to God in prayer I will find comfort There. I did and I am and I thank God for those of you who reminded me where to search, as well as those of you who validated my impulse to search in the first place. God is good, so are we when we search our hearts because we find (with a little help from our friends) God there.
I spoke, in gentle terms, with an ardent Christian today... I said, "When my own spiritual life is healthy, I try to throw seed and water. What God grows there is His business." Personally, I throw "find God" seeds and water faith. Then I go pray that the increase will be in my own heart.

Take a deep breathe inhale and then let it out there so much tension on here its painful.
Reason, understanding, and love are really the only way to help others. Harsh love is not love its just pain mixed with love. We have to be understanding of other all others
(o my god I sound like a hippie lol I would have fit in then)
JD
PLEASE
do not ask questions like this
You pose a fine question but then you state that you know what is right.
THEN you claim that Christianity hasn't done those things.
Christianity has been very closed minded and has done horrid things to people. Also just about every religion promotes peace. Simple we all hungry for it.
I'm not saying that Christianity in its self is evil or anything but it does promote some violence by giving such closed minded ideas.
It makes too sides and says this is evil and this is good
but the truth and this comes back to the middle ground nothing and no one is pure evil. So many factors live around these thing that how can you say its evil.
EVERYONE
WE all need to open our minds to new ideas even me. Are you afraid that doubt will strike you as it did me. Dont be I've grown to be a very loving person sure I have my evils and I see my own darkness but there is light in me as well and I am open to new ideas and ways of thinking. doubt only will get you if you already have it, or if the foundation of your beliefs are weak.
we all have stories and knowledge that we alone have gained and we all must share it. With love, and respect for one and another

You are right myown I don't read the pages I have only watched history channel things and learned by other means but now I hold two bibles
the old
and
the new
Unfortunately I also have a big test on Monday so I have to put most of my learning new materiel to that lol
" If you don't want to believe any of the Words of the bible just because the people used to pen the Words are not here in person to testify - well then don't believe what you read about Abraham Lincoln or George Washington or any of our history from the past...well I should say the "real past" as History is being re-written to suit some people.."
History books dont tell you everything they lie to fit the tale of the winner or the side your in. Did you know we went to war with Canada shortly but we backed out because there where to many allies. Most history books dont tell of it at least not the ones in school.
You must remember the bible is inspired by god and is written by man. But to make matters worse its tranlated again and again but imperfect beings. The church has hid holy objects and scriptures that would turn people away. There is said to be a book of Jesus betrayer that casts a very different light on the situation. But known of this changes the facts.
You are right I do admit it I'm lost I don't have the all the answers and I'm looking for the ones that fits my heart. I am young and my attention span is not the largest it doesnt help that I have other problems too. So reading the bible gets hard and tiring. I do read the scriptures you guys post even when I'm not commenting don't think I'm not reading I just dont know what to say or have nothing worth putting down.

Forgive me, I am also extremely stressed right now.
I should have said, "...someone with a little more humility."
Good night.
