So one of my New Years resolutions is to pray more often. I decided I would pray at least 21 times a week. I did not want it to be prayers of need but prayers of thanks to God. I decided to do this after learning about Jesus continuously praying to God through out each day of his life. It inspired me. I am trying to grow my faith in God and myself. In the Bible it states through God all things are possible. I believe in it. For New Years Eve I sealed a wine bottle my loved ones( including my life partner)had a drink of wine. I put two leaves of my praying plant in the bottle. I put rolled up papers of everyones prayers in the bottle. I would like to think that God is listening. There is power in prayer. I am working on making it through the week. If I can make through the week, then I know I can commitment my faith. -strongBriana Booker, Founder of Fromgirltogirl via mobile./strong
Religion Corner: Justification of War
Sometimes the text in religious books make me think. Tonight I was reading from the Bible and the Quran. There are rules to why Muslims should fight a war for Islam( defend life and defend land) and when to stop. Then in the Bible it says the same thing in Chapter 10 Matthew. To be honest the rules for war can be approved for both Christians and Muslims. Politics blended with religion. That is a mixture for disaster. In Matthew 10:34 Jesus discusses that his coming was not to bring peace to the world but a sword.
What is the purpose of war? Is war better than peace or used when peace fails to succeed to bring tolerance of each other?
What is so grand about war and violence? Why war? O_O
