Just because someone else has killed someone, it does'nt make it right to do the same. Or in a politician case, get someone else to do it for you. All their doing is making the problem worst.

Its a little like David Cameron, the UK Prime Minister. He gets into power and want to be the centre of attention. Starts the process for whats happening in Libya. How can he take the moral high ground and condemn the killing in Libya and then send the war machines in and make more killing in...

I can take all of the above. I've even seen this myself when I used to sit in a circle at a Spiritualist Church. The Circle leader was a little narrow minded and wasn't open to anything that didn't come out of their own mouth. That seems to be the problem in general, peoples egos tend to come...

Hi AndrewX I like reading your posts and I agree with your comments. I've been reading the Gospel according to Mark and it appears that Jesus was preaching people to turn away from the blind religious teachers of the day and reject their man made traditions. I like the hand washing passage and...

Should religions tells us what to think, or should they give spiritual guidance? The Bible was written at a time when we didn't have the understanding of the Universe we have now, althought for me it explains metaphorically the big bang theory. Do religions turn followers againest each other...

To me, I feel the Bible expains creation how it would have been understood at the time it was written. Its still metaphoric but more accurate than other examples of creation from the same time period. I can see the big bang theory in the Bible myself. I see the Universe as God as to me...

Hi Arthra, I like your reply. When I read the Bible I like to find its message thats within its pages. I see Jesus's "Love thy neighbour" as treat people how you would like to be treated yourself. If everyone did this then every religion and or political view would live in peace. I can see same...

Hi Thomas, I think the same as you. Spiritualism has been around since man first started religious practices. Over time it just gets re-labeled as something new, much the same as music does. Its this re-labeling and the differences that gets created between religions which is something that...

Hi AndrewX, I also share your thoughts on Church leaders of the time pushing the Gnostic Christians underground and then persecuting them because they didn't see things the same way. When I read the Bible I find that Jesus explains his parables to his disciples when asked. As his parables are...

Hi, I can see your view in your post and I can also see mine. I must be too open minded. Spiritualism must be the oldest belief system in the world because if you look at any untouched culture in the world, say the Amazons Indians or an African tribe for example, they seem to have a shaman type...

Althought modern Spiritualism began with the Fox sisters, the practices which Spiritualists and Mediums do were performed by the Prophets in Biblical times. Would the Prophets feel out of place talking to modern spiritualists or even sitting in a circle.

What does everyone think of Spiritualism? If Prophets talked to Angels, would they be considered as mediums today? If Prophets healed the sick would they be considered as Spiritual healers today? Spiritualism talks of departed spirits being asked what they have learnt on the earth plain. Is...

Can I say that the big bang was God. This even seems to be described in the Bible with the 'let there be light' text. All the energy thats hidden in every atom can also be described as God. The Bible tells its version of events to the people it was written for it a way that they could...

I think the earlist records of a Christian movement thats servived to the present day are the Gnostic Gosspels. When the various churches and sects tried to claim the Christian movement for themselves they always saw this teaching the way they wanted to see them and make his teachings fit there...

I find the George Bush reference interesting as George Bush going to war with Iraq and Afganistan goes against his teachings of peace and love thy neighbour. But he is said to have healed a Roman soldiers servant so he practiced what he preached and would have been comfortable with George Bush.

That was my problem. I tried to change everyone at work and no one knew where I was coming from. They're still in the same work stressed and unhappy, and I've moved on so it can't be that bad.

I don't think he will ever be forgotten. All the worlds current leaders claim he inspires them, I just wish they listen to his messages of peace. I can understand him, but everytime I try and do the right thing I end up getting the sack. :(

I can see the message in religions to be the same, basically they want you to do the best you can. To my eyes they differ because they developed in different times and different places with different customs and ideas going a round. They developed in a way so that people with in that time and...
