    Are Christians actually worshiping the Father of Jesus?

    I actually agree with you, so you're not alone.

    LDS Mysticism?

    Thanks for your answer :) I just learned recently at my Institute class that the Our Father prayer also isn't very popular in the LDS church, which I was to a large extent surprised at. Is Lectio Divina at all a practice? I can certainly see how people can use it for the Book of Mormon if it...

    Christianity and slavery.....

    I suppose the Biblical authors didn't see that much of a need to address the issue. Certainly though, there are interpretations that can help imply the Bible never wanted slaves. Martin Luther King Jr is a great example of how the Bible can inspire men to put an end to racial injustice...

    What do you think about hinduism ?

    I don't have any specific view on dharma, mostly because it isn't my own faith. Krishna's an interesting fellow. This is more complex. I study with a Hare Krishna family whom I'm friends with every Tuesday and we discuss our beliefs. The mother is a convert to the faith who left the...

    LDS Mysticism?

    My dear Saints, I've got two questions that I am curious about. What is the LDS understanding of mysticism? Do you have special prayers or activities you do personally that you would describe as mystic? Thanks

    How Do You Worship Your God(s)

    I suppose my rituals could include chanting God's name and doing the rosary. Other than that, I simply try to kneel and submit my will to God. Catholic pews can obviously come in handy for this situation!

    Baptism - what does it mean?

    This sums it up nicely for my own beliefs as well :yes:

    Christianity vs Buddhism

    Welcome to world religions. Is it loving to your fellow man or to God to destroy nature? :no: :facepalm:

    Hare Krishna Prayer Beads?

    My friend just gave me his prayer beads after I told him I was going to have surgery past Friday. He taught me to say the mantra (?) for each bead. Is this all I have to say for when praying them? Also, what is their official name? He simply called them rosary beads but they are definitely...

    I need questions for a documentary about religion.

    The first question that popped up in my head is what is a religion. You can also ask them how God manifests himself to us, that might be interesting to see. Good luck!

    Hell& Heaven, Your religion view

    Hell is viewed as a separation of God while heaven is enjoying the closeness and love of the Almighty. The last part about adoring God for simply who he is really touched me. Thanks for posting that quote :)

    bible point

    Spoken languages go back much farther and are not confined to just Mesopotamia. Some societies simply didn't create a writing system before then while others adopted the writing systems of others after times of conquest.

    bible point

    Theologically speaking, the Tower of Babel can help explain our diversity. Scientifically speaking, I'm a doubting Thomas. Try to appreciate both views, they're both pretty interesting.

    Pope Francis: Church too focused on gays and abortion

    The song 'God Bless Our Pope' is stuck in my head now.

    Do people still go around preaching on street corners?

    Indeed, there are still such people. At my college, there are about five that I think of off the top of my head. One of which is very crude and it is often entertaining to watch people debate him while on break.

    Muslim and Baha'i View about Islam

    Please be more respectful to your fellow posters. I narrowed it down for you (not only to answer what I think is a question, but also because I don't have enough posts to have URLS in my posts). It was perfect for the time. Other posters here will probably go into more detail if you want...
