Goodbye to all Christians brothers and sisters on yahoo answers. Beware of clones/trolls, copying people's profiles for lies/mockery. I am an Orthodox Christian, far from perfect to say i have known God and have perfect love in Christ. For better answers - ask a priest at the church.
What are your thoughts about Jim Jones' actual beliefs?
According to lots of information Jim Jones was actually an atheist using a church to draw people towards marxism:
"In addition to being a progressive, Jim Jones was an atheist. Jones said about his atheism, "I was an atheist even then, and at that funeral parlor they held me up to look at her, and when I got down, I was bitter." Jones was frustrated with opposition to Communism within the United States and which lead him to ask himself, "How can I demonstrate my Marxism? The thought was, infiltrate the church."

"5. Jones used the pulpit to preach a doctrine that he called “Apostolic Socialism” (which he sometimes referred to as God Socialism or Divine Socialism).
...
In one sermon Jones told his parishioners, “If you’re born in a socialist community, then you’re not born in sin. If you’re born in this church, this socialist revolution, you’re not born in sin. If you’re born in capitalist America, racist America, fascist America, then you’re born in sin. But if you’re born in socialism, you’re not born in sin.”"
...
6. By the early 1970s, Jones abandoned all pretense of being a Christian minister. Jones also began preaching that he was the reincarnation of Buddha, Gandhi, Vladimir Lenin, and Jesus. He would preach sermons lasting six hours or more, in which he showed a preoccupation with sex...
6 AnswersReligion & Spirituality5 months agoYahoo answers - what to do with a clone troll?
There is a clone troll who has copied my profile, posting nonsense, pretending to be Oleg, but is really level 2. It seems he is the same person who asked a question about pedophilia recently and blocked me from answering. Here is the link to his profile:
https://au.answers.yahoo.com/activity/questions?sh...
My actual profile is level 7.
I ask you to block and report his level 2 profile.
Here's the R&S question he posted on:

What yahoo staff email to use to report him?

What are the evidences for or against this?
9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 months agoReligion & Spirituality, what do you propose do with multi-account trolls, who slander people with false accusations?
This site is often plagued by satanist/nazi trolls with many accounts and when confronted they start harassing people.
There have been a series of anonymous questions accusing people, including me, using forged screenshots, for example renaming one of their accounts to my name and posting racist or anti-Jewish propaganda. Though it was seen to be a fake - seeing how this picture captured the Edit button, which is only seen to authors of the question, or their account did not have Level 7 as mine.
Then this person would use multiple accounts to answer such questions to spread falsehood about me or others. I ask you to report them and such accounts, which make outrageous claims without evidence - without links to actual questions.
3 AnswersReligion & Spirituality11 months agoFellow Christians, what can you add to a person's claims about Christian salvation, that you only need to believe in Jesus. Is this true?
He needs to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, to be saved. Jesus is God.
All believers are still sinners that still sin. All of them.
Believing in the Lord Jesus Christ means being forgiven all sins past and future, and means going to heaven. Not an excuse to sin.
He should try to stop for other good reasons. But all believers are still sinners.
And Jesus came to save sinners.
Here is the truth: Death leads to immediate heaven or hell.
The only way to have eternal life, the only way to be in heaven and avoid hell, is by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life (John 6:47).
It is that simple and that easy. It is too late to be saved after death.
Jesus is God and Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
Nothing else pays for our sins, not works from us or anything else, and Jesus already paid for our sins with His death and blood. You cannot add any works to getting into heaven (Romans 4:5)
MY NOTE: John 6:47 does speak about faith. But Romans 4:5 can easily be abused by people claiming to be a Christian and yet living in sin, without any change in conduct.
Also Lord Jesus Christ taught "If you love me, keep my commandments."
Or this “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
How to correctly understand all these teachings?
17 AnswersReligion & Spirituality11 months agoFellow Christians, i have a question about questions on R&S?
If you have recently asked a question and chose best answers, please answer if you are able to switch the question to anonymous afterwards?
I have seen a lying poster here pretend to be a Christian, who i have seen post mocking questions and when exposed, started switching them to anonymous and claimed this:
"Everyone, see the lies and excuses from this wolf. After questions have a best answer selected they cannot be modified. I calles this wolf out for bad behavior and he has done nothing but attack me since. He is anti-Christ and a hypocrite who would rather harm others than examine himself."
See and judge these questions yourself:

5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 year agoFellow Christians, what is your response and advice to the user quoted below. Please show where he is wrong and what is right by Christ.?
"QUOTE:Any sexist pig that teaches that women must remain quiet in church several times is a sexist pig. Are you sexist too? Is that why you support Paul. Jesus had female disciples. Many of them. The early Church had female prophets. Phillips 7 daughters were all prophets. They were accepted teachers in the Church but they werent accepted by Paul. They were hated, scorned and told to be quiet and only by Paul. Everyone else loved them as sisters in Christ. Thats what sexists do. Paul was a racist He describes Cretes as sub-humans in Titus 1:12, in his own words " liars, beasts and lazy gluttons." No disciple, no apostle of Christ was a racist or sexist, just Paul. Jesus certainly wasnt. He taught us to love everyone. What Paul taught was totally contradictory to what Christ and everyone else taught, thats why he was rejected by the early Church, 2 Timothy 1; 15 and his letters were later published by an apostate religion that was racist, sexist and hated people just like Paul did. When he says all of Asia rejected him he is talking about all of the area he worked in which was Asia Minor. Ephesus is the capital of Asia. Jesus thanked and commended them for trying false apostles and finding them liars Revelation 2:2. Paul was the only one who claimed to be an apostle who was rejected by all of Asia. Jesus rejected him as well, He didnt appoint him or support his gospel of hate as you say. Read your Bible. Not what Acts 9 say"
Religion & Spirituality4 years agoFellow Christians, what do you think about the following Bible verses and how they correspond to our conduct here?
"3 Remind them [Christian brothers] to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
9 But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. 10 Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, 11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned."
Religion & Spirituality4 years agoFellow Christians, what wrongs we need to be cleansed of and what we can correct by our Father's help in Lord Jesus Christ?
I see that some people identifying as Christians, do condone some sins against God, be it immorality, astrology, new age or show improper focus - instead of love and peace of Christ are dedicated to daily chatters and insults.
I know that i am also not perfect and often failed to show perfect love, humility and goodness of Lord Jesus Christ.
But still it is best for each one to expose these wrongs and provide Biblical verses how to correct all these wrongs in us by the grace of God, to be sanctified, not keep remaining in them, without correction, repentance and cleansing in Christ.
Religion & Spirituality4 years agoDo muslims belive the same God as Christians?
I saw a post today by a muslim user.
Do they really believe in this?
" 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

"Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me."
Religion & Spirituality4 years agoPlease explain which people from the genealogy of Jesus were not mentioned by Matthew and why?
2 Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers. 3 Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram. 4 Ram begot Amminadab, Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon. 5 Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, 6 and Jesse begot David the king.
David the king begot Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah. 7 Solomon begot Rehoboam, Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa. 8 Asa begot Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot Uzziah. 9 Uzziah begot Jotham, Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah. 10 Hezekiah begot Manasseh, Manasseh begot Amon, and Amon begot Josiah. 11 Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time they were carried away to Babylon.
12 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel. 13 Zerubbabel begot Abiud, Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor. 14 Azor begot Zadok, Zadok begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud. 15 Eliud begot Eleazar, Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob. 16 And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.
Religion & Spirituality4 years agoFellow Christians, can explain what you think is the best way to act in Christian way and show God's light in Christ on R&S?
For instance how to deal with harassing, insulting, abusive, questions, answers,
or those promoting sinful ways against God, while shining His light of love, truth, peace, goodness.
Can you please also read the following article about sharing the Gospel on ya R&S and share any thoughts on how to improve it:
Religion & Spirituality5 years agoJW, if the Jesus was resurrected only in the spirit, where was His body?
Here's your site teaching:
https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/je...
If Jesus was only raised in the spirit, it means his body would remain in the tomb.
Why then the high-priests said this to the guards?
"telling them, "You are to say, 'His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.'
Religion & Spirituality5 years agoHow come people don't see God who creates and manages the universe?
By God's inspiration it was showed to me, at a music concert:
The orchestra has a conductor, managing their common work on a single complex suite.
The country has the president, managing its affairs.
The workers have a boss, working at his orders.
How can people deny God's existence, who is as the conductor, president and boss of the universe, as seen by His son Jesus Christ?
Religion & Spirituality5 years agoFellow Christians, what do you think is the best way to deal with the following categories of people?
- trolls and haters, who do nothing but insult, lie, mock, make foolish jokes, pretend to be hateful Christians
- multi account users, who try to stir trouble, pretending to be multiple people,
on some accounts insulting Christians, on others somebody else, like atheists - trying to stir up conflict
- antichrists, who all day spread lies by twisting the Bible, trying to show God and Jesus as bad, can only see bad sides of Christian faith
- heretics, ex: like those who deny OT or accept only New Testament Gospels (and even then in their own interpretation - like sin does not exist anymore, just keep local laws and love others), or think Christians must be circumcized and keep law of Moses/call Paul a false prophet, tell that Jesus was a man born from Joseph and was baptized by Christ descending above
- lgbt
- pagans
Religion & Spirituality5 years agoWhat's the point of wiccans blocking all Christians and then pretending to defend atheism?
Don't atheists call wicca as fairy tales too?
I think that is sufficient proof that children of the devil love one another, but hate children of God.
Religion & Spirituality5 years agoWhat kind of scientific proof do unbelievers have for secular morals and laws?
Or is it faith?
