FINALLY, IF RELIGION NEVER COUNTED BUT ONLY RELATI

Only for the good of all. No Idol therefore no God. No Title. No Label. No Reward.

Just simply LOVE & RESPECT.

What if there is not a judgment day?

To your second question...Neither you nor God ever introduced yourselves to me so a relationship was not possible. It is a bit ridiculous to expect people to believe that characters in a book with mostly unknown authors can be real.

Connecting Singles is an international virtual place set up to promote interaction between people who are predominately single. Some individuals having joiined the blogs remain on them because of friendship with other bloggers – people have various reasons for remaining on the blogs.

Now although I am a supporter of freedom of speech coupled with responsibility, there is a time and place for everything. My contention is that when you want to blog about some religion, cult, political party then go somewhere else to do it. What would CS be like if every single religion or belief started blogging here – from the radical to the totally insane? What about blogs about every type of political system arguing their merits? Quite frankly people, CS is a place for people who are single to connect. So whatever your belief system – keep it to the place where it belongs – your profile and your private messages.

7billion...people are allowed to blog about anything. The point of the blogs is to get to know people and what better way than getting their opinions on everything including religion and politics.

7b,

CS is a place of objectivity,noot subjectivity and if we try to find somebody here for a relationship,it is important to know their mind little more than just the surface and that looks to be the best of CS.

Gentle,

I'm sorry to tell you,but Jesus Christ as the name,was decided by the Roman Emperor after the Bible was done ,that start as a a work by the Council of Nicea in 325 by about 1200 members.....they had come up with two name and about 600 members wanted Jesus and about 600 Christ,so the Emperor made peace between the members and decided,that they are going to use the both names for the new God of Roman Empire.
The authentic sects in Israel,that was predicting about a coming King,that could safe Israel from Romans was talking about RIGHTOUS,but the Council in Nicea wanted a more attractive name.
Our life involve also Historic facts and not only Lors.

Semsu - Don't tell them truth, they can't handle truth. :)

In actuality the New Testament was constructed around a guy named Yuz Asaf. Also known as Issa he led a remarkable life in his first 40 years before settling down with Miriam in Kashmir to become a herder, raise a family and dying sometime in his 80s.

You are correct that the new name (Jesus) we call Yuz today was chosen by edict. Constantine was given a vast empire to rule. One containing many cultures and religions. He had no television or radio, but he needed a way of unifying his populace. Many of his soldiers worshiped Mithra, a sun god. The Hebrews worshiped their god, and there were also the Greeks and the Gauls with their Teutates as well as varied Eastern creation myths. He needed a way of unifying everyone.

So in 325 he held a convention we call the first council of Nicea. It was no 3 day affair and it lasted months. A new religion was created out of hundreds of scrolls and a dozen religions. A new written work called the Bible emerged from the cut and paste job. The Empire was carved into regions and districts and holy men assigned to preach the new religion. Those holy men who agreed left for their assignments. Those who didn't, they passed into history. Prior to this council what we today call Christianity was virtually extinct with less than 1,000 followers. Ir emerged from the council meeting as the surviving religion and the new official religion of Rome and citing Peter and Paul as the founders. Early Apostate Christians who had followed and clung to other versions of Christianity such as those preached by Thomas and Miriam were of course fed to lions for entertainment until there were none left within Roman territory.

Gentle,

When you try to use Bible to explain,you just use the book that the Roman Emperor put together!!!
Ken here is telling more deeper the fact about how the Bible was created and with everone involved,as I also know from before also,but as he advise me,it looks to be very close to the facts,"DON'T TELL THEM THE TRUTH,THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH"

Many people put in their profile,that they are honest and truthfull,but are dey???

Rolf

Great questions Didier... on that awesome day of judgment of our Lord, if we are given one question: "What was your relationship on earth with ME and "THE ALMIGHTY GOD"?

What will be your response?
That is, If I'm able to speak at all instead of being in awe of all of His glory and beauty!

I hope to say, Thank you Lord for receiving me... Lord, YOU were my hope of glory, and by faith to believe, I trusted in YOU as my Personal Lord and Savior, and believed that YOU were the Only Begotten Son of the True Living God. I did my very best to be Your witness to the nonbelievers as You commanded.

7b,

that what it is,but there are no other God,that has so much blood on his hands as the God in the Bible.
Of course everybody have the rights to believe in what ever they want,even like children in fairy tales,if they only could keep it by them self,and not drag us people living in reality,into their cartoon stupidity and by drumming religious war,that is going to burst the societies sooner or later into crazy blood letting.

Rolf

Rolf and Ken I think your comments reflect back on yourselves, and your own words condemn you:Ken here is telling more deeper the fact about how the Bible was created and with everone involved,as I also know from before also,but as he advise me,it looks to be very close to the facts,"DON'T TELL THEM THE TRUTH,THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH"

hmmmm... I still can't understand how nonbelievers try to tell Christians what and who they should and shouldn't believe, but no one can tell the nonbeliever what or who they should believe? Yet, you read books against God and the Christians beliefs and call them facts, then try and tell us, as Christian believers what you read is the truth!???? How does that work????

Why not try applying this same position of thought suggest"DON'T TELL THEM THE TRUTH, THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH"... to yourselves and take up Jim's plea to read the Bible objectively for your own good? If you, Rolf and Ken and others can read and believe all the other mess, why not start illuminating your minds with better reading material that will benefit your souls?... just in case God and the Lord Jesus Christ is/are REAL!... Why not take PROACTIVE MEASURES, because when death comes unexpectedly, its too late to take REACTIVE MEAURES!.

You never know, because God does send warnings to us to get our lives(houses which are our souls) in order before its too late, and Your times on earth just might be shorter than YOU think and then you will stand before the Lord with said question of the topic. So why not ponder this matter on those terms... what will you say, in case the matter at hand of God and the lord Jesus Christ is for real and of a truth? What would you do and say?

Its a sad commentary when a person has no positive hope for life after death and think God as the Creator, only created man on earth without a contingency plan for His creations believers and nonbelievers. But then again,nonbelievers don't believe God created them anywayzzzz, so I suppose there wouldn't be any hope for life after death.

Spiritual Food to live by:
Titus 3: But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the gospel; for they are unprofitable and useless. Reject a divisive (heretic) man after the first and second admonition, knowing that such a person is warped (subverted) and sinning, being self-condemned.

Sista,

LOL,Ken is ver,very right,LOL,and your comment is extremely fundamental,LOL.

Ometimes you really can have a good laught and a good laught extend your life,so thank's for that gift my friend.

Rolf

There you go! Lets all argue about who's right or wrong in the religious stakes and forget what we were truly meant to take from those preachings which was that all men are born equal, love thy neighbour and that pride is a sin!

I don't follow or defend any religion as it creates exactly what happens everytime it's mentioned on CS.

Were we really ever intended to waste precious time on this. If so WHY?

I took the blog to mean something like. What did we do that was honourable. Not sure we should have taken it all so literally.

Perhaps Religious blogs should carry a public health warning.

Hi didier, a scripture comes to my mind when I think of your question and that is

"In as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me' (Matt 25:40)

How we treat each other will be what is important to him, especially those who are less fortunate. To me that speaks more than words.

We all have in common our earthly experience here so maybe we can unite in what we all have in common and respect our individual faiths and believes.

"Perhaps Religious blogs should carry a public health warning."

I shall remember not to sip some coffee before reading your comments in future. I am now reading a coffee coloured blog.

Some truth there, Arinism was discussed and voted down (as if a vote could decide something that may be true). Arinism threatened the future shape of Christianity as if both man and later a God then he, as the man, contained imperfection (which the tale of Thomas tells us), but what was desired was never failing perfection, therefore Trinity was a more useful thought. Nevertheless, being the first Council meeting many other things came out of it, including the assembly of many scrolls (and portions of) into one Bible. Also an edict from the Emperor (several edicts actually) regarding the new Catholic Church of Rome, where the Bishop's seats would be, who would be a Bishop, and really pages of commands and decisions. That Arius had already been causing theological ripples with his Thalia scroll is irrelevant as the christians are not who called together the Council, but rather the Emperor Constantine who saw a way he could use this then obscure religion. Noting also, that although Arius left the Council branded a heretic, because Constantine's son Constantine II believed in Arinism, a few years later the vote was reversed to UN-heretic him, then when Constantine and Varius were dead as well as Arius, only then with those who would over rule them dead, was Arius and his teachings (and his followers) labeled heresy a second time.

My respect. A religion subject on so much thin subject, I think everyone thinks differently. And I always consider that the person has to trust in soul, and show the belief in good acts.

Here in CS, people are free to blog what ever topic they please, as far as they respect others.
Some people may like to know that, religion is a theme in CS's blog list.
While the goal of CS is helping people to create a relationship and find their partners, it is equally a goal to keep people exchanging their views.
It may seem clumsy to seek a relationship with a person, without knowing their thoughts on a series of issues.

Maybe people like 7billions in Cape town South Africa, will like to know that, women like to know the views of men concerning many issues of life.Restricting to express your views, may equally mean limiting your chances of having that perfect one you maybe dreaming of.

"Maybe people like 7billions in Cape town South Africa, will like to know that, women like to know the views of men concerning many issues of life."

7billion2; The fundamental question is whether the bloggers that insist that their belief is the “only way” have respect for the diversity of other cultures having different viewpoints...

Thanks for sharing your views.
It's great to be sensitive to different culture /religion view points and it's nice when is 2 ways street sensitivity but when is not ...Boundaries define us.
Bondaries define what is me and what is not me,as well we need to own our own thoughts and clarify distorted thinking.

I think when religion can not be seperated from politic that's where trouble starts but trutful religion intepretation should be for the purpose to spread love and peace.
Anyway,the world is not perfect place and it will never be and one part of the world can't live great on the account of the other part of the world so this or that way,we all pay price for uneqalities in the world.

@ Hans

It's amazing how subservient we can be when we're forced to get on.

I 100% agree we must practice tolerance with each other, unless one group is harming others. In that case, tolerance is just sitting back and allowing harm. We have the right to be assertive and protect ourselves.

I am aware of the council of Nicea. All religions are man made. Jesus came not to set up a man made religion. So that is not what it is all about IN MY OWN VIEW. I read about peoples' Near Death Experiences. I had a Near Death Like Experience around age 11 or 12, something that was extremely positive for me, and that is MY EXPERIENCE. From my experience, and from what I have read about others' similar experiences, it appears that Creator expects us all to love, learn and grow here. It seems that life is all about HOW WE TREAT EACH OTHER. We will judge our own self on this, after we cross over to the other side. I did not experience this "life review", I just read about it from others' experiences. Many "religious" people who experience a NDE end up afterwards becoming "less religious" afterwards, because they claim that what is taught in church is not accurate.

I personally believe that Creator is not about "religion", but is "for" every single one of us, no matter who we are. So that is what I am going with.

It's pretty amazing to know that many people still doubt the existence of "JESUS CHRIST", well i can tell such people that JESUS CHRIST IS REAL, no matter your theological competence.

I have seen JESUS CHRIST in many live experiences, and HE HAS TALKED TO ME many times in my dreams.And in the real live those things happens.
"My line of reasoning is, i will not judge any religion because, they are not what that counts, what counts in life is your relationship with JESUS CHRIST.I can also tell you guys here that, Heaven is a real fact.
"HEAVEN IS SO BEAUTIFUL, HOLY AND CALM. AT THE GATE IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND PEOPLE WHO APPEAR AT THE GATE HAVE BEEN CHOSEN"

There is this other group of people who will not appear at the gate of heaven, such people appear directly in hell, because of the large number of people who appear in hell, people are lined - up, in order to be assigned a demon and a department, and people receive a mark, just as the very way cows are marked with a heated iron . In hell it is terrible, the fire, the heat, the search for water and food, the labour...and the pains, people are not respected, people are beaten no matter their age, it's a terrible place.The strongest and most powerful men becomes the weakest, because a small demon will kick that person as a ball.
Many people are deceived, only not to believe Jesus Christ and GOD.
Note without, Jesus Christ, you cannot please GOD, so no way to get into the HOLY CONTINENT OF HEAVEN.
