The ones you mentioned all fall under the umbrella term of "Orthodox" or religious.  And they are the only ones who cover their hair when married. There are some "Modern Orthodox" women who don't cover their hair.  \nthe covering can be a hat or kerchief too, not necessarily a wig and some only cover their hair when they are out in public or are in the presence of a man other than their husband.

Only the christian sects evangelize, with the exception of Catholics.  Good Christians do care for others souls but through my own personal experience, most should practice the "remove the board from your own eye, before removing the mote in your neighbors".  I myself cannot stand to be preached at.  I feel that any religion that has to push itself onto people to prove themselves to be right should look at 2 non-evangelical religions for evidence that it is not neccessary: they are the Jewish faiths and true Islam (not the militant fanaticism).  They have out grown Christianity as the largest practices religions.  However the oldest is that of the Pagan sects.  It has continued to flourish and grow in spite of oppressive evangelical religions.  Why? because we keep to ourselves and just practicing being the best we can in our daily lives.  Realizing that we must be good to ourselves before we can do good for others, and without religious overtones.  That is true good works, when it is done because it needs to be and not in the name of a religion.

One religion hmmm this is intresting, i guess that i would pick commandments that focused on helping others and promoting a society that attempts to help others, Christanity has some good guidelines in that department, also eastern religions focus on an idividuals place in the world definitly useful. Just stay away from the dietary laws... i like food in general.

Why don't you ask the Fellowship of Inner-city Word of Faith Ministries? They would probably have the most up to date imformation, seeing as they are running it, and would probably be happy to give you that information, seeing as yo uare a member.

Nothing.  In America there is seperation of church and state as long as it is presumed that christianity will always be included.

Any church can be considered a cult.  It's a very subjective term.

I am with you, hon.  Your response to that question inspired me to answer my self.  I think there is something new here.  \n\nIt reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld's pronouncement of "Festivus for the rest of us".  I think that group is growing, but you know I think that it doesn't really need a name.  Universalist and Unitarians are as close to it as an organized relgion can be, but it's the Organization that most of us want to stay away from isn't it?  \n\nI have been toying with the idea of Omians (like Om) or a United Ministry of Earth - and if you are interested, I can send you the url privately - but I don't know where to go with it.  It is tempting to try to put us all together under the same umbrella and help us to feel our strength in numbers, even in an organization that says we all believe different things - but some of our beliefs are similar and that is where we need to focus.  The strongest tenents are the golden rule and tolerance.  I don't know - I feel close to a very interesting idea, and yet it is so elusive...lol\n\nPeace!

The Amish and Mennonites do.  Alot of Mediterranean Christians cover their hair.  Nuns often do.  Orthodox married Jewish women do.  I could go on and on.

If you mean following all the Jewish ritual requirements, there is nothing against doing that.  However St. Paul and the other early leaders decided not to require this of non-Jewish followers of Christ.

I say sure, why not!  You will of course never get that widely accepted, but for your personal spiritual life, you can use those.  In the early days of Christianity, different communities had different writings that they held sacred.  It was not until quite late that our modern-day canon was chosen and then enforced.  And when that canon was chosen, it was chosen by what were considered "Orthodox" Christians, but who is to say that just because they styled themselves "Orthodox" that they represented the true, or only version of Christianity?  There may indeed be much of value in the Gnostic Gospels, and there is no need to get rid of the Canonical Gospels in order to benefit from them, in my opinion.

Orthodox what?\n\nThere are Orthodox groups in almost every religion - Greek Orthodox - Anglican Orthodox - Orthodox Roman Catholics - Russian Orthodox  - Orthodox Jews - etc.\n\nYes, in most religions of Christendom children are important.  For example, the Mormons advocate having as many as you possibly can!  On the other hand, most Christians are aware that these are the "last days" of this present world system, and that God's commission to preach to and teach others the truth about him before the end comes should be our first priority. (See Matthew 24:14 and 2 Timothy 3:1.)\n\nFor specific scriptural counsel on raising children, see the following Bible verses:\n\n* Deteronomy 6:6,7\n \n* 2 Timothy 3:15\n\n* John 17:3\n\n* Proverbs 22:6\n\n* Deteronomy 8:3\n\n* 1 Timothy 5:8\n\n* Proverbs 20:7\n\n* Ephesians 6:1-4\n\n* Proverbs 8:33\n\n* Hebrews 12:4-11\n\n* Proverbs 22:11\n\n* Proverbs 29:15\n\n* Colossians 3:21\n\n* 1 Corinthians 15:33\n\nand there are many, many more, but these will get you started in knowing how GOD feels about children, which of course, is much more important than what RELIGION teahces about children.

only religions that follow the books of Moses believe in the Ten Commandments. This is primarily Judaism and Christianity\n\nas for being the same. No they are not. They have the same words but are broken up in different ways to give different meanings\n\nexamples http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_commandments#Division_and_interpretation

Gnosticism agrees with the teachings of just about every religion in the world.  Orthodox Christianity is the only one with that dying for sins nonsense.  I don't know, in my opinion the truth is within us, not within a book, if it is in us all, it would be universal.  The actual words of Jesus are universal.  All that other nonsense came from Paul and is not.
