    What do you think of Paul the Apostle?

    Paul on women: "Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church I Cor 14.34-35 "A...

    new age beliefs thats wrong

    You are quite right. Very few people go directly to heaven. Almost everyone goes first to purgatory and spend time there for purification and then onward to heaven. However, the time in heaven is not permanent. After a period in heaven, they reincarnate on Earth. But those new-age books are...

    Do God really care about which religion people follow?

    This is true. The Gods don't care at all which religion you follow. However, having a good heart is not enough - taking action is equally important, like helping others, making sure justice is served etc.

    Where is Heaven? Where is Svargaloka?

    There are 14 planes of existence - 7 upper planes and 7 lower planes. Below are the upper planes (called lokas in Sanskrit): Satya Tapas Jana Maha Swarga (Lower heaven) Bhuva (Astral plane) Bhur (Earth) These are planes or states of consciousness, so they have no location in space. They...

    Pro-Palestinian Peaceful Protests

    Istria was made part of Yugoslavia after WWII, so it makes sense that Croatia has it now.

    Pro-Palestinian Peaceful Protests

    That way, some powerful country (like Russia or China for instance) could take someone's territory and hold it for 80 years. After that is it theirs? I think any injustices done post WWII need to be redressed or mitigated in some way (that date being when the UN was established).

    Was there ever even the slightest chance of failure?

    Jesus came with a message. The point of his life and sacrifice was to get the message across. The message of loving your enemies, of caring for 'the least of these', of turning the other cheek. I think he managed to convey this message successfully. BTW, even though the success of his mission...

    When does life begin?

    Thanks. I will block you, so that my 'off-topic' posts won't bother you anymore. Best wishes.

    When does life begin?

    It is not off-topic at all. I believe human life starts when the soul enters the fetus. 'When does life start' is exactly the topic of this thread.

    When does life begin?

    The title of this thread is "When does life begin?" If you don't think this question is valid or needs to be answered, why are you here?

    When does life begin?

    So, what is THE question?

    When does life begin?

    Obviously, the embryo is a living cell right after conception, which is why it is possible to produce a baby from a frozen embryo. However, the question is when does the soul enter the embryo or fetus or when does a human life start. According to Michael Newton...

    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    If we go by prophecies, the Bible says clearly 'every eye will see him' - I would say hardly anyone has seen Bahaullah or knows what Bahaullah looks like. If you go by Islamic prophecy - a Hadith says the Imam Mahdi will lead the prayer and Jesus will be praying behind the Mahdi - there has...

    Afterlife

    I believe almost everyone, with very few exceptions, goes to purgatory which is really the same as the astral world.

    The so-called global flood--evidence against

    There is absolutely ZERO chance that there was a global flood and the whole Earth was under water. We don't need the lack of a layer of silt to prove that. We are not all descendants of Noah nor are all the variety of animals and plants come from being saved by a single boat. I am quite sure I...

    This is the story of the Matsya Avatar - long before Krishna and Dwarka.

    Noah's Ark

    Are you suggesting that ancient Hindus and Hebrews were somehow more primitive than ancient Chinese, Japanese etc? How primitive are these scientists who speculate about large scale sea rise: Meltwater pulse 1B - Wikipedia

    Noah's Ark

    Yes, that is why they are called myths. But the myths do talk about a global catastrophe.

    Noah's Ark

    "The Shatapatha Brahmana recounts how Manu was warned by a fish, to whom he had done a kindness, that a flood would destroy the whole of humanity. He therefore built a boat, as the fish advised. When the flood came, he tied this boat to the fish's horn and was safely steered to a resting place...
