| Article Title :: Catholic Hierarchy Makes Interreligious Dialogue Difficult |
| |
| I converted to Catholicism as an adult. I specialize in interreligious dialogue and world religions. I was enrolled in undergraduate studies at what I would later learn was a liberal Catholic university. I thought what I experienced there in classes and masses represented Catholic teaching as a whole. I was in for an awakening when I went on to graduate school and then to teach in a Catholic secondary school. The phrase "one, true Church" has come to a specific and difficult meaning.Interreligious dialogue requires participants to place their beliefs up front for all to see. Here is one of my primary beliefs: the "Divine," "Creator," "God" or whatever na (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Scientology is Losing Ground |
| |
| There are other religions out there. Thetans beware! You cannot remove them by imagining them gone, but this guy is onto something!Note that the "church" of scientology is more than a little upset with this. "--a situation Kurz (a scientology PR-person) called outrageous." The fictionology movement is a registered church. The courts have ruled that scientology is not a church despite their claims that they are.The fictionology church recognizes the Thetans and the Theet O Meter and Theet O Vac. Can you imagine what this is going to do to the scientologists?The word is that they are hiring copywriters and lawyers. They will do as always and go on the offensive. Sue, li (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Trinity |
| |
| The Trinity of Scripture is a controversial subject among many in the Christian Community. I would estimate that (90% of the Christian Community believes in the Trinity.)What is the Trinity? The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost(Spirit). We all know about the Father and The Son. So lets look at The Holy Ghost. The Bible calls Him by many different names,
1. The Holy Ghost. The Bible in the New Testament, list the Name of Holy Ghost 89 times, starting with, Matthew 1:18 and ending with, Jude 1:20 (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Meditations in Mongolia: Promoting Peace Compassion and Tolerance with the Kalachakra, Wheel of Time |
| |
| In Mongolia as in other regions of Central Asia a diverse set of Buddhist traditions have been cultivated by the Buddhist faithful. Among these traditions, perhaps some of the most important customs are those associated with Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, and more specifically, a particular symbol known as the "Kalachakra, Wheel of Time". The "Kalachakra" "Wheel of Time" is a "Mandla"; a Buddhist symbol that has a round, perfectly shaped symmetrical form. It is divided into four separate sections; each of them contributing to a single unitary shape.Recognized in many regions throughout much of the world today, the "Mandala", first appeared as a religious representation of Hindu, and aft (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Daddy, Why Does the Preacher Talk So Funny? |
| |
| When it comes to fundamentalist preachers, there is nothing quite like the way they choose to express themselves from the pulpit. What they say, in and of itself, can be quite amazing. Such as the recent flap with Mrs. Benny Hinn, tryng her darndest to give a ranting good sermon for the masses and making a complete fool out of herself. In the typical breathless rant of evangelical showmanship, she told the audience what they needed was "a Holy Ghost enema, right up their butts." Honest, that was what she said and she repeated it. She then went on to tell the audience not to be "butt kissers." Having realized that she probably had crossed a few too many lines, she tried to recover by (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Rapture - What is it? When Will it Happen? Where is it in the Bible? |
| |
| Just about everyone has heard someone mention ' The Rapture ', when they talk about the return of Jesus Christ. There probably isn't a word that causes as much conflict as the word rapture, does. I here folks constantly saying: ' There is NO word rapture in the Bible! '.I have read the NIV version of the Bible from beginning to end, and it is true the word 'rapture' was not found. I have also read parts of and studied the King James Bible since I was a child, and I have never seen the word, ' rapture ', in it. So is the rapture made up ? NO. The Rapture is clearly mentioned in the bible, let me explain."Rapture" is derived from the Latin verb: 'rapere', of 1 Thess. 4:17—"w (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Unholy Trinity |
| |
| In part 1 we saw proof of the Holy Trinity, in part 2 we will see the opposite. Satan in his anger wants to be as God for in scripture we see his resolve to be. The trinity that we are going to study is Satan, The Beast and The False Prophet.Isa 14:12-14; How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.Why would there be an (read full article) |

| Article Title :: My Anti Conspiracy Thoughts--Too many Conspiracy Theories Go Around |
| |
| In connection with the WTC disaster there are conspiracy theories that have been proposed. Such as that the airliner did not fit the size of the building. A terrorist passport was found in good order, whereas everything else was destroyed. The building simply could not have collapsed because of the crash, despite all the kerosine. And so on and so forth.There have been many conspiracy theories about all kinds of 'hidden agenda's'. King David also had a hidden agenda when he conspired with his army to have Uriah killed, the husband of Bathsheba. We all, in fact, have hidden agenda's. They are called our sins, not exposed yet by the Holy Spirit to our consciences.There have be (read full article) |

| Article Title :: What is Interreligious Dialogue? |
| |
| Interreligious dialogue is a challenging process by which adherents of differing religious traditions encounter each other in order to break down the walls of division that stand at the center of most wars. The objective of interreligious dialogue is peace.What does interfaith encounter look like? Interreligious dialogue has many faces. Two people can come together and share the aspects of their respective faiths and struggle to understand that which is foreign. Theologians can write papers, publish in journals, and convene to discuss the finer theological issues related to interreligious dialogue (and there are a multitude of theological i (read full article) |
