    My very first Shrine.

    Hi Amanda I think it is important to get on with practising Buddhism, specifically mediation and the 8 fold path, as you set out above and not let the mind become absorb in politics and cultural issues at this stage. :) I am not a practising Buddhist but have studied some Theravada, so I cannot...

    How you Percieve Christ of Nazareth

    This is a good question. I think the answer is in John's Gospel. Anyone?

    Lord's Evening Meal

    Hi Pegg Is this experience or teaching regarding "the detachment from earthly desires" unique to JW? I ask as it is a new idea for me in respect to Christianity and wonder if it differs between denominations; should you know?

    Confusion , What To Do ?

    On this sensitive topic, I watched a documentary which explained that in the past Christians could not lend money for an interest but Jews were able. This lead to the Jews becoming money lenders and potentially becoming richer than their Christian neighbours. This is also depicted in...

    Lord's Evening Meal

    Hi Pegg Thanks, that is fascinating and fairly logical. I assume the majority are led by God's spirit but a minority of those have come to the point where they are no longer bond by earthly craving? Is that correct, I wonder if most have the Holy Spirit but a few are ready?

    God's will

    In Sikhism, for example, everything is God's will, there is nothing which isn't God's will or hukam. So it isn't a question of how to know God's will, but rather recognising how everything is His will. The problem is how to explain evil. My understanding of Sikhism is that evil is product of...

    The free will of man

    Hi Savagewind I stumbled on a verse which might support your friends view in the original topic, that God can stop them from acting, please let me know your opinion: Acts 16.7 When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to.

    The free will of man

    I see! That is useful to know and explains why Christianity isn't limited to race, language, country or culture. Your earlier post above made me realise I was overlooking something greater than any law with this line of questioning. :)

    The free will of man

    I understand, thank you. Yes, you may well be. I am not here to judge anyone, just trying to learn through sharing questions and answers. :)

    The free will of man

    I don't see how a transgression can exist without some kind of law. By law I mean the Bible, because I think the bible teaches God's law (correct me if you don't agree about that otherwise we could go around in circles :) )
