To me a soul mate is another being that you connect to on a deeper more spiritual level (it's a much higher state than physical attraction)-there can be many mates your soul connects to- they can be a close friend, a relative, a family pet or an animal you visit at a zoo. No words need to be spoken, it's a bond/connection that is beond words, it's when your heart joins with another and you both just feel totally at peace and in awe of each others presence.

Imputation- do you agree?
by Lillith26 inimputation is the concept that we are all sinners because of the original sin of adam.
and our only redemption is found in the sacrifice of christ on the cross/stake.
imputation implies that guilt passes from person to person from generation to generation, and redemption is passed from christ to us.

JosephMalik- I think all "Revealed Religions" should go back and seriously 're-think' their theology! None of them are RIGHT, none of them have THE TRUTH and all of them seek to control you personally by playing on your fear of death or eternal damnation.

Adam "stole" then ate a piece of fruit that belonged to this guy JoHo- the fruit passed through Adams digestive system- Adam then crapped it out all over the garden of eden- and we (his decents) are left to live in a pile of crap! our only hope is a dead/alive guy (JoHo/JoHo's Son) with mop to clean us up before JoHo/his Son comes back and demands we give the crap back???? Hmmmmn
I say JoHo can have his shit back and eat it too! I refuse to be held responsible for some elses actions! I refuse to be imputated!
If you believe what the Bible says to be a factual history- then it was Joho who is personally responsible for the Holocaust that took place in Egypt! Remember the plauge of the first born of Egypt??? Well I suppose those innocent men, woman and children had it comming to them after all, Adam did steal that peice of fruit!!! Still think Iam confusing justice with love???

Gobberningbody- Just for shits and giggles- lets just say that your great-great grandady robbed a bank, and now, 100 years later, it is you who are on trial for commiting that offence... this is not just, this is unfair, why are you at fault for someone elses crime (keeping in mind the crime was commited before you were born)???? this is what Imputation implys- your great-great grandady is Adam commiting the "original sin" and now you are on trial for it???? that my friend does defy all reason- Guilty untill proven innocent! is Jesus your lawyer???

I was simply asking if any here agreed that Christianity (regardless of sect as all preach humans to be sinfull and need salvation) is in fact a fraud and that the concept of "original sin" deifies all reason.

Imputation is the concept that we are all sinners because of the original sin of Adam. And our only redemption is found in the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross/Stake. Imputation implies that guilt passes from person to person from generation to generation, and redemption is passed from Christ to us. We are denied an afterlife in heaven or immortality on earth because of the sins of our fathers (not to mention the fact that the rules are set up so that being without sin is impossible for any human). We cannot attain salvation on our own. Nothing we do directly can save us from hell or a second death etc... We can obtain salvation only through faith in another. . No action we took on our own condemned us, and no action we can take on our own can save us.
The concept defies all reason. It makes no sense at all. But without original sin and redemption, there is no Christianity. You can never be perfect/good enough to get into heaven or live forever. You have to unconditionally accept what someone else claimed when they wrote it down a couple of millennia ago. Imputation is Christianity's centre of gravity. Without the concept, the house of cards all falls down.
You really don't have to criticize anything else in the entire Bible. Deciding to not accept the imputation of original sin and redemption refutes Christianity in its entirely. -

After reading the artical (in Washinton Post), and then having a closer look at the whole PROP 8 issuse... I AM ANGRY!!!!!!!
This is what happens when "religion' gets invovled with matters of the state! WTF are they afraid will happen if same sex couples are legally allowed to marry? Wont all the extra hen's nights and buck's parties help boost the USA economy? Wont all the extra spending on weddings and honeymoons help boost the USA economy? Wont couples from all over the world visiting the USA to get married and spend their money there help boost the economy? Why waste so much money desciding on something that should not even be an issue?
LET THEM GET MARRIED!!!!

Christians risk rejection and discrimination for their faith in Britain.
by BurnTheShips inthe first poll of britain's churchgoers, carried out for the sunday telegraph, found that thousands of them believe they are being turned down for promotion because of their faith.. one in five said that they had faced opposition at work because of their beliefs.. more than half of them revealed that they had suffered some form of persecution for being a christian.. the findings suggest a growing hostility towards religion in this country, which has been highlighted by a series of clashes between churchgoers and their employers.. and so on.

Believe what you want in your own home- DONT COME TO WORK PREACHING IT! has anyone ever wondered why Revealed Religions are being discriminated against as a whole? Hmmn let me see- Most groups like to picket and rant and rave on the streets, some groups come knocking on your door to preach, others gain control of government bodies and try to convert the rest of the world and when thats not possible- wage a holy war (it's Ok to kill if it's for our cause mentality!).
Religion has caused more deaths than AIDS/CANCER! personally I'd rather hire an athiest too!- at least they are less likely to blow up my business or try to convert me into a cult!
