Welcome to Gaia! ::

yeah i'm a messianic jew

I follow most of the beliefs of judaism and christianity

basically:

I'm jewish but i believe that jesus is the messiah

i don't condemn people for how they believe, and i don't damn them to hell, either.

what you believe is your choice, that's why we have free will.

i dunno if that's the best idea . . .

i mean they can't really support each other properly if they didn't share the same beliefs . . . there would always be that dark cloud hanging over them 3nodding

It depends what religion you believe in. For me, since I am a Christian, religion is more important than anything else in the world. If someone is not a Christian, it doesnt matter how pleasant their life on earth is because in the end it will come to nothing ( the christian view) this is why some Christians are so crazy about converting people.

So obviously, these are very conflicting perspectives.

I'm not in most ways religious person =o.
If there's a god, he/she/it can come and show up to me so that I'd believe.
To me all the religious books are pretty much big bunch on blabber.
^^ I'm not meaning to mock anyones religion, I just don't believe in those.

I worship Jrock guys ? D: <3
Hail Hide-sama!

I never said f-ups(I will refrain from using that word, for 1. it is against the rules, as a major curse word) 2. I do not like the word 3. putting that word into context of the statement makes me feel a bit queasy), and I never intended that word to come up. If you wish the worst of what I said, then the worst you can get is feak of nature. I am not an ignorant fool. I am sternly devout to my religion, and do not believe that there is any outcome. With that, I say what I say as Truth, not as fact, or "my opinion." For the comment on "curious bi/gay" thing, that itself, and I will sya it, is an ABOMINATION. And for genetics (you said hermaphrodites) some points, there is a screw up in the operation table, and the doctor refuses to allow the child know about this(many cases of that) and the person still has a gender. For other mishaps, such as unability to know what gender it is right after birth, that would be due to large ammounts of testosterone to make it seem like a male child, or lower than usual ammounts of testosterone to make it seem like a female child, but that person is still one gender, not both. I do research my scientific arguements, so that I can put up an arguement, not just religious, but scientific, so that a non-religious person can undersatnd me. It doent matter how young Christianity is... it still is the truth. Judaism came before that... Jesus is theson of God, who was sent down to fulfill God's will to form a NEW covenant, since there was disorder in the last covenant with the Jews, who were the first people of God. You should also note that not everyone who is christian believes the same way. Some christians believe that Jews are evil, and inferior to everyone else(see the subject of HITLER) and they are hipocrytes, for they do not/refuse to believe that Jesus himself is a Jew. If you wish for my side of the arguement on "bastardization of other religions" then please tell me more of what the "bastardizations" are. The people who "kill for their God" are also hypocrites, and do not aknowledge the truth that God doesn't want us to kill, and that to stop someone, there is always options, even when it doesn't seem like it
(such as if a Kiddnapper says that either you kill him, or your friend is killed, there is always a way to avoid death... multiple in truth, that you only have to be smart enough to find them all. Only a person who does not have sufficient ability to think/doesn't want to think so much as to avoid death/wants to kill said kiddnapper, is a fool. Paganism, isn't about whichcraft. Do a little more research. Wichcraft is more wiccan. And yes, if a drug is used for medicinal use, it is good, but is still a drug. Any medicine is a drug. even you OTC tylenol is a drug. As for the subject of Hell, Yes it is said badness. You are forever away from the light, which is pain enough. Although it may not be all fire and brimstone as people are told to believe, since there is only a few references Jesus Gives us to fire. Most of the "fure and brimstone" Hell was a story to make more people convert, since sermons about Hell were more interesting than a perfect heven. I already know that satanism is not a religion. It is the form of self-worth, of doing whatever you please, of rebellion(from interview with a satanist) I have learned about that from actual interviews I have conducted myself, and from the Discovery Channel, and the History Channel. God is BENEVOLENT, although at times, it may not seem that way. All Good and Evil is based on God. Evil is whatever is against God's will... DON"T TALK TO ME ABOUT HIDDEN TRUTH. I know the truth is hidden, since it always comes in ways you can not expect. Also, it's like the truthg is hidden from the public for politics. The evil one, the deciever, does not always lie, because if one always lied, you would be able to know that the opposite is true, whereas, a good deciever is one who tells the truthe at some points, bet tells a lie that is soo tempting and so... near flawless, that it is hard to tell the difference. I know you are not saying it is wron, but from what I can read, it implies that it is flawed. The truth ahs been concealed, due to corrupt popes (a long time ago, it was possible to be pope by paying a LARGE sum, but it took a while for that to be realized, and was stopped. Corruptness in high ranks have damaged the Church, and the media is trying to make a big deal of a minor thing (such as molestation. it has one of the lowest % of corrupted clergymen, but the media hypes it up, and constantly bring it to attention, that it seems larger than it is...)
