Question inspired by John

What is it that you guys want about God? Why do you want to be with him in Heaven? Are we meant to be motivated by some spiritual (as opposed to fleshy) desire? If so then what is that desire for? Is it one of those things you can't share with people or put into words?

Will you accept Evolution too?

I dont know how widely circulated this story is but I've recently come across an msnbc article stating that the Theory of Evolution is "compatible with the Bible". It goes on to say things like the Anglican Church has embraced Evolution based on what one guy says and personally i found it quite dis-heartening to read. The thing that makes me most upset is how the oppinions of these few people are stated in a way as to reflect the oppinions of the entire Church (I guess thats how the system works anyway). I dont know about you but our so called "Reverends" and the Catholic equivalents dont ever seem to be shown as having a biblical viewpoint (at least not in the media). I find Leah's gmail quote as being quite helpful when reading articles like this "If God is with us , who can stand against us?" or something like that. Anyways, the point of this is to just highlight the article... signs of the times eh.

Mike Guglielmucci Interview.

Hey guys

here's the guy and the story we were talking about last monday.

For your information............. Circumcision

Hey guys I remember a couple of weeks back we were talking about Jewish religion and the reason why they circumcise the young boys.
In world religions we have recently looked at Judaism and found out that:

• At eight days a male child is circumcised (known as Brit Milah) as a covenant sign with God. It is a sign of obedience which is celebrated with family and friends surrounding the eight day old boy.

Many medical facts attest to the advantages of circumcision for cleanliness and lowered cancer rates. Medical science has also demonstrated that the eighth say after the birth is a prime time for clotting of blood. But despite these practical reasons, the basis for the Brit is to carry out the command of God in the covenant He made with Abraham to set aside a people for himself.


We then talked about female circumcision in Islam. Its not actually biblical, its a cultural thing within some part of the Islamic culture.

Very weird..... but extremely interesting!!!

If anyone wants to know more about the Jewish religion or even Buddhism let me know!

Any questions?
