Religious discussion and religious books
Spiritual literature is everywhere. It all points to a few common
principles about mastering living. Should we choose one and reject all others? Is the gospel of Christ different from the gospel of Buddha? Let’s explore together.
Life of pi 1
The main character Pi takes a journey at sea on a ship that sinks, leaving him stranded on a lifeboat with several animals. Pi practices three religions - Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism. He believes that embracing multiple faiths allows him to find spiritual fulfillment. While stranded, Pi struggles to survive and cares for the animals as they face hardships and dangers together on the small boat in the vast ocean.
Project based learning - Spiritualiti in Brave New World
The document discusses spirituality in the real world and in Brave New World. In the real world, poor people often find spirituality and religion as a source of hope and comfort. However, in Brave New World, religion is abolished and replaced by the teachings of Fordism and the use of the drug soma to control emotions. While people in Brave New World are conditioned to find meaning through their caste system and jobs, in the real world spirituality can provide support for those with few resources.
Bil120 workshop2 updatedforlargeclass1projectteampresentation
The document discusses themes from a biblical literature workshop, including wisdom, prayer, and dealing with suffering. It covers topics like the problem of evil, different understandings of God, and assignments involving personal reflection papers connecting the Bible's perspective to one's own worldview. Students are asked to read sections of Genesis and 1 Corinthians and complete a reaction paper on a life after death survey.
God is back
The document repeats that the author is neither an atheist nor a believer and has no hidden agenda or desire to brainwash. It discusses how God and religion have been politicized and tied to military campaigns and policies. It also notes how religion has become commercialized with religious entrepreneurs and media seeing economic opportunities. Overall, the document suggests that while God and religion were declining in influence, they now seem to be making a comeback in various spheres of public and political life.
Challenging our pre conceived ideas
This document discusses the biblical parable of the Good Samaritan. It references Jesus asking "Who is my neighbour?" and which of the three people who came upon the injured man - a priest, Levite, or Samaritan - acted as a neighbor by helping him. The document includes a prayer confessing times the reader has judged others' faith or walked by those in need, and asking God to help see others in need and be a neighbor to them as Christ was to us.
Religion speech pp presentation draft
This document summarizes a presentation about discussing Christianity from an agnostic atheist perspective. It outlines arguments for and against theism and atheism. The presentation acknowledges different views on religion and lack thereof, and aims to have a respectful discussion. It also shares the author's perspective of struggling to believe in Christianity due to lack of evidence and issues with the Bible's contents.
Nahum
The document discusses the nature and character of God and what it means for Christians to be angry like God. It defines nature as God's attributes that he alone possesses, while character are attributes both God and humans can share. God is rightly due reflection of his righteous standard in how people live. While we cannot share God's nature, we can share his righteous anger at injustice, though we must be willing to wait patiently for justice. The document asks if the song "Mystery of Iniquity" depicts anger aligned with God's word, and why or why not.

SE 4 Questions for small group Bible studies
This document provides guidance on asking effective questions when leading a small group Bible study. It suggests that good questions are open-ended, promote discussion, have various possible answers that are not totally obvious, and get people to look closely at the text. The document then analyzes a Bible passage and provides examples of different types of questions leaders could ask, including open-ended, simple factual, diagnostic, challenge, development, and action questions. It encourages using questions to explore issues more deeply and apply insights to participants' lives.
iWitness: is the God of the Bible God?
This is the third sermon in the iWitness series. The first four topics are lumped together as "pre-evangelism." Before gaining agreement on the Bible's reliability and authority, quoting Bible verses may not prove persuasive. This sermon is a more logical and philosophical argument seeking to answer the question, is it logical to conclude that the God who exists is the God revealed in the Bible?
Apologetics Part 1
1. Why do apologetics?, 2. How to do apologetics, 3. Why can I trust the Bible? 4. Is Jesus the Messiah of the OT? 5. Modern/Postmodern Objections.

This document discusses worldviews and provides a survey to assess whether one has a biblical worldview. The survey asks questions about moral truths, the accuracy and authority of the Bible, God as creator, Jesus's sinless life, salvation as a gift from God, Satan's existence, and a Christian's duty to share their faith. According to research, only 4% of Americans and 9% of self-identified Christians have a biblical worldview. The document contrasts biblical and worldly perspectives and concludes that God considers only two worldviews - his biblical one and the world's alternative view.
I Can't Believe You Said That!
This document appears to be an excerpt from a book titled "I Can't Believe You Said That!" and contains over 650 quotations attributed to over 300 liberal figures. The quotations are grouped into sections on topics like abortion, Christianity, family values, and global warming. Many of the quotations express controversial, offensive, or politically charged stances on the issues. The document promotes purchasing the full book from the Accuracy in Media organization and making donations to support their work.
The message from god a question about prophecy (2)
This document discusses prophets from different religions and raises analytical questions about God and prophets. It asks why certain prophets could perform miracles like raising the dead or surviving being burned alive. It questions whether prophets could be both messengers of God and God themselves, or if we should accept the books they brought as revelation instead. The document emphasizes seeking truth and logical reasoning over political and personal interests to understand prophets and God.
Learning How To Interpret Scripture Through Context
Adapted from Grasping God's Word: A Hands-On Approach to Reading, Interpreting, and Applying the Bible, Duvall, J. Scott; Hays, J. Daniel (2009-05-26) and Workbook: Journey into God's Word: Your Guide to Understanding and Applying the Bible. This lesson explains the elements of context when interpreting Bible Scripture.
Misquoting Jesus
Bart D. Ehrman grew up in a Christian household and became a born-again Christian in high school, inspired by his youth leader Bruce. He attended Moody Bible Institute and Wheaton College with the goal of becoming an evangelical scholar. However, during his studies he began questioning the reliability of scripture translations. After graduating from Princeton Theological Seminary, he realized that many small variations in early Christian manuscripts were introduced either accidentally or intentionally by scribes, challenging the inerrancy of the biblical texts over time.
A partnership that cannot fail
The document discusses a partnership that cannot fail between God, individuals, and one another. It is described as a three-way partnership where those who work with God must also work with one another. The partnership of laboring together in God's work involves being partners with God, which is said to be a partnership that cannot fail.
John 316
This passage from the Bible describes God's love for humanity and his gift of his only son Jesus Christ. It states that God so loved the world that he gave his only son so that all those who believe in him will not perish but instead have eternal life.
The roman soldiers in the shadow of the cross
This document discusses being on time in August and the worst job a person could have, which is preparing a condemned criminal for execution and carrying out the execution. It then discusses a picture of Roman soldiers at the cross and lessons about how even holy people can appear unspiritual to others and how the cross has the power to change people.
The christian and his talents
This document discusses the biblical parable of the talents from Matthew 25:14-29. It explains that in the parable, God entrusts talents (abilities and gifts) to his people and expects them to use their talents for his glory. The document analyzes different elements of the parable, including the context, participants, trust given, and reckoning. It concludes by emphasizing that God will judge Christians based on whether they made use of the talents entrusted to them and that those who serve faithfully will be blessed beyond their efforts.
Adoption
Our goal for November is to tell people about what is happening at our organization. The document discusses the biblical concept of adoption, citing Ephesians 1:5 and Romans 8:15. Adoption means that through Jesus Christ, God predestined us to become his children according to his good pleasure and will. Being adopted, we have received the Spirit of adoption and can call God our Father.
Three great powers arrive in nain
A passage describes Jesus arriving in the city of Nain where he encounters a funeral procession for a widow's son who had died. Jesus has compassion for the widow and her mourners and performs a miracle by raising the dead son back to life. The crowd praises God at this sign that Jesus is a great prophet who has power over death.
The truth about giving viii
This document discusses biblical principles of giving, including that giving is frequently discussed in the Bible, giving makes one happy, and giving is essential to salvation. It notes that everything belongs to God and there is no record of God accepting less than 10% from followers. The document also discusses the blessings of scriptural giving according to various Bible verses and the curse of unscriptural giving. It outlines God's dare in Malachi 3:10 to prove him by bringing tithes, and that if one does so, God will pour out more blessings than one has room to receive.
Jesus is lost
Jesus became separated from his parents in Jerusalem and they spent time searching for him, assuming he was with other family members. When they did not find him they searched diligently until they discovered him in the temple discussing scripture with religious teachers, which surprised them because he was only a boy.
After baptism what
This document provides information for new Christians about life after baptism. It discusses that the devil will attack, but believers have benefits and responsibilities as members of God's church, including continuing to grow spiritually. It warns that some fail to persevere and experience negative consequences, but encourages believers to start a new life priority in Christ. The document concludes with a passage from Hebrews emphasizing assurance of salvation for those who remain faithful through patient endurance.
The little lord jesus
The document discusses how the Christmas carol "Away in a manger" portrays Jesus as a sweet baby but does not emphasize his role as the crucified Savior or the need for response to his death on the cross. While focusing on Jesus as a baby in the manger is comforting, the Bible emphasizes Jesus' sacrifice and the redemption, sanctification, and propitiation found through his death.
Reaching your family
To effectively reach your family, you need to be consistent in your communication, show genuine concern for their well-being, cooperate with them in a spirit of teamwork, keep messages concise and focused on the essentials, and find creative ways to connect and spend quality time together.
The greatest thing in the world i cor 13
The document discusses how love is the greatest thing in the world according to 1 Corinthians 13. It provides three reasons why - without love, nothing has value; love is patient, kind, and enduring; and love never ends. The document asks the reader if love is the greatest thing to them.
The cause and cure of religious confusion
The document discusses the causes and cures of religious confusion. It states that confusion arises from relying on traditions and doctrines of men rather than scripture, from being ignorant of scripture and guided by those who don't know, and from unwillingness to accept the truth. The cure is accepting God's word by searching scripture daily with an open mind, a desire to obey, and allowing oneself to be guided by scripture without prejudice. It provides two examples of topics where confusion arises: the Lord's Supper due to tradition overriding scripture, and baptism due to teachings contradicting scriptural examples and commands.
Ye ought to be teachers
The document lists important people and then provides two paragraphs explaining why "Ye ought to be teachers" based on five reasons: it is the work of God, people have had time to develop into teachers, they have the ability, they can develop into capable teachers, and of what teaching will do for them. The document encourages people to become teachers for spiritual reasons because it is God's work and they possess the qualities needed to teach others.

The truth about giving vii
This document discusses biblical principles of giving, including that Christians should purpose in their hearts to give a percentage of their income to God before receiving money. It notes that giving is frequently discussed in the Bible, and that we should give to God first before anything else. The document encourages readers to decide on a percentage to give, such as 10% or 20%, rather than a dollar amount, so that their giving is not affected by external factors or persuasive appeals but remains consistent based on their prosperity. It argues that purposing to give a percentage allows Christians to make financial commitments to God just as they do for other expenses like mortgages.

The healing of a beggar
Peter and John were going to the temple when they came upon a beggar who had been lame from birth. The beggar asked them for money, and Peter said that he had no silver or gold but would give him what he had, which was healing in the name of Jesus Christ. Peter helped the man stand up, and immediately the man's feet and ankles were healed. He then entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
In his name
The sermon discusses Peter's speech at the temple where he heals a crippled beggar. Peter refuses recognition for the healing and instead reviews what happened.

How three thousand were saved
The sermon focused on how three thousand people were saved according to Acts 2:37-41. It discussed how they believed in Christ, obeyed Christ by being baptized, and were added to Christ's church.
Beginning at jerusalem
The document discusses the significance of the day of Pentecost in Acts 2 when the Holy Spirit fell upon the apostles. It summarizes that this day:
1) Marked the beginning of the kingdom/church as promised, with the coming of power from the Holy Spirit;
2) Saw the reversal of the curse of Babel as people from many nations heard the gospel in their own languages; and
3) Signaled an end to the Law of Moses and beginning of the Law of Christ, paralleling but reversing what happened at Mount Sinai.
Waiting in jerusalem
The Central Union Church of Christ document discusses how after Jesus' ascension, the disciples waited in Jerusalem with other believers. They strengthened relationships, prayed and praised God together, and stayed united. When Judas' position became vacant, they selected Matthias as a replacement according to the scriptures, to keep the number of disciples at twelve. The document encourages Christians to wait for Jesus together in worship and unity, and to learn from Judas' example.
The book of life
The document discusses the biblical concept of the Book of Life, which is described as the registry of those who are saved and whose names are written in heaven. The Book of Life contains a precise list of the righteous and is referenced in passages about the final judgment, where those not found written in the book will be condemned to the lake of fire. The document encourages readers to make sure their own names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life in order to gain entrance into heaven.
Jesus and his last day on earth
The document summarizes chapter 1 verses 1-11 of the book of Acts. It discusses Jesus reviewing his time on Earth with the apostles after his resurrection and promising them the coming of the Holy Spirit and establishment of his kingdom. Jesus promises the apostles that the kingdom will be universal, not confined to Israel. He then ascends to heaven, with the apostles receiving two confirmations that Jesus completed his work and teachings about the kingdom.
The greatest sequel ever written
The document discusses how the Book of Acts is the greatest sequel ever written. It was written by Luke, a physician, as a follow up to his gospel. Luke wrote both works addressed to Theophilus, a patron, in order to provide an accurate and orderly account of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and the early Christian church. The purpose was to give Theophilus certainty about the teachings he had received.
Who is number one
This document from the Central Union church of Christ discusses putting God first in one's life and priorities. It notes that knowing who or what is number one provides stability according to scripture. The document reviews what the world and the will of God say about determining priorities. It emphasizes seeking God's kingdom and will above all else, and loving God with all your heart as the greatest commandment according to Jesus. The overall message is about ensuring God is the number one priority and influence in one's life.
Tell the good news
The document discusses the importance of evangelism and sharing one's faith according to several Bible passages. It notes that over 100,000 people die every day without Christ and cites verses showing Jesus' command to spread the gospel message to all nations. The document expresses an sense of obligation and reward for fulfilling the Great Commission through saving others, as one must not come to Heaven alone but must help others find salvation as well.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
