    Well, I believe the same things.

    Urantia Book Questions

    Sure. Watch it if you want. But I think a Mormon might be more interested in it. I really don't know. I don't know much about The Book of Mormon. I don't know if it's been prophesied or not. There are some statements, perhaps, in The Book of Mormon, that can be taken to mean The Urantia...

    Jesus' Second Coming

    It's always been my understanding of that verse that "before Abraham" means waaaaaay, waaaaay before Abraham, back in Eternity times.

    You're preaching to the choir, here. Yes, religious people do reject "facts." But the facts they reject or the false facts they accept, of the kind you are talking about, are not religious facts or religious truths. Yes, I agree it's a problem, but they will either insist on their version, or...

    Yes, perhaps.

    Is This Acceptable?

    You stated your opinion. This is the rule, apparently: Stating opinions as a definitive matter of fact (i.e., without "I believe/feel/think" language, and/or without references) may be moderated as preaching." And YOU did this, exactly, when you said: "A religion has an overarching worldview...

    Such is your opinion, anyway. And apparently, on this forum, you are supposed to declare such factual sounding statements as being your opinion, or you "think," and so on. Some here, though not me, will threaten to turn you in to the authorities if you don't do that. In fact, this rule has been...

    Is This Acceptable?

    Religion is not about archaeology, imo. In other words, even if the Walls of Jericho were found, that doesn't validate a religious belief such as Mary's alleged virginity or that Jesus died for our sins or that there even is a God. Those are all faith beliefs. I have seen some Christians try to...

    Just one comment. Regarding religion, what, or which things are "provably true"?

    Is This Acceptable?

    I see. So when you say factually, "You need a lot more for it to be a religion." And when someone asks, "Like what?," you feel you can violate the same rules you threatened me with, is that right? Saint Frankenstein said: "Let me remind you of Rule 8 of the forum: "8. Preaching/Proselytizing...

    Yes, it's fine, imo. Whose problem is that?

    Is This Acceptable?

    All I wanted to know in the first place is what you had in mind when you said, "You need a lot more for it to be a religion." My question was: Like what? You made a factual sounding statement, which you didn't qualify as being your opinion (and which apparently is a reportable offense here...

    Is This Acceptable?

    Well, I thought you were going that way when you said: "You need a lot more for it to be a religion." And your religion HAS a lot more. A whole lot more. All those things I listed and Catechisms and Magesteriums and Imprimaturs and Missals and catacombs and Stations of the Cross and gold...

    Like what? Priests? Popes? Nuns? Confessionals? Scapulars? Rosaries? Incense? Holy Water? Your religion? religion the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.

    Is This Acceptable?

    I agree with the second poster, sure, why not? You have as much right to create your own religion as anyone else. And, IMO, you ARE a Christian if you are a follower of Jesus, regardless of whether or not you believe in the "Christian bible." I had one Christian tell me once that I had to...

    Windwalker, are you there? I came up with this: integralist - Wiktionary integralist - Wiktionary Noun. integralist (plural integralists) An adherent of Catholic Integralism, an anti-pluralistic movement within Roman Catholicism. Is this correct? What can you say about integralism? Is it a...

    Urantia Book Questions

    I never said I did. And yes, you are correct. I have heard of the "Mahdi" before but never heard of your particular Muslim sect. I'm afraid, that to many Americans, the distinction of a "peaceful Muslim" is going to be lost on them.
