Jesus Christ himself said that "all sins will be forgiven...but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation." (Mark 3:22-30).

Also, as recorded in the Book of Matthew, Jesus Christ said, "Therefore I say to you, EVERY sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come" (12: 31-32).

Nothing to kill , only irritate the person so they get a little taste of their own hell they created.

I know telling your family and friends you are bi, lesbian, or gay can be very hard to do. Do you have any good "coming out" stories? Stories where they reacted differently then you thought they would, in a funny way, happy, or any other different way? How did you tell them? People often feel better afterwards because they can be truly themselves.

I'm a Muslim..yet I grew up in a Cristian country and attended a Church of England school..
And I hope because of that I have a good understanding of Christian theology as well as my own religion...

But I'm shocked at the ignorance on this site...

And that aren't people aware of the term 'Abrahimic religion'
Jews, Christians,and Muslims all worship the SAME GOD. The God of Abrahim.
And all theologist Christian ,Jew, and Muslim agree with this....


Muslims also believe in Moses, Adam, and Noah, and even though we don't believe that Jesus was the son of God we do beleive that he is a very respected prophet.


Also our religon does not tell us to kill all 'infidels'...it forbids us from killing any cilivilan..

I've never seen a Muslim man wear a turban..Sikhs wear turbans :-))
And we don't say 'dirka dirka dirka or wear rags on our heads!

I have lived all over Kentucky--Webster County, Lawrenceburg, Louisville, Northern Kentucky--and find it to be just sucky. The weather is unpredictable, the people are terrible drivers, and the people are also some of the rudest, most impolite anywhere. There, it's not what you know or how good of a person you are, it's who you know; if you're connected to the elite in your town or related to a prominent family, people will literally ignore you. When I lived there and worked among the public in retail, I found that the nicest people I dealt with came from places outside of Kentucky. I've received better service in restaurants in Ohio, New Jersey and New York than in a typical small Kentucky town.

Sure, there are nice and mean people everywhere, but Kentucky boasts about its friendliness and warm hospitality. HA!!! I'm impartial to Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas--I LOVE those places b/c of the warm weather, friendly people, and cheaper cost of living.

Jesus is the prophet of God NOT the son of God

and here is SOME of the proofs from the Bible:

(John 17:3)
Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent

(Matthew 5:17)
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them

(Matthew 21:11)
The crowds answered, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee

(Matthew 21:46)
They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet

(Luke 7:16)
They were all filled with awe and praised God. "A great prophet has appeared among us," they said. "God has come to help his people

(Luke 13:33)
In any case, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem

(Luke 24:19)
What things?" he asked

"About Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "He was a prophet, powerful in word and Jesus is the prophet of God NOT the son of God

I did. I was raised by a pastors kid. My mom, after divorsing my dad for Biblical reasons, married a pastor. I really was a Christian and experienced the joy and peace within God. The bliss. In between euphoria I was depressed. I was diagnosed as manic depressive. Suicidal attempts didn't work out. I was found. I'd backslide and come back again and again. Finally I was 'healed' in church and was able to think straight. Then I realized that I believed I was bad and couldn't trust myself without God. That I was this sinner and Satan was trying to get me. That I was going to hell if I didn't believe, and think and feel Biblical thoughts. I realized that anxeity, panic attacks, mood swings and all the bit were from emotional and mental abuse in the Christian home I was raised in. The mind games 'we don't judge, but you just sinned'. 'It's all grace, but you just broke a law'. I left once and for all. I keep my 'healing' by power of the mind. Anyone else an ex-convert?

BIBLE, 1 timothy 2:12 "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence."

==========================

Why does the bible subjugate woman? i mean why woman cannot teach. Whats wrong in that. Do you consider woman to be illetrate by nature or just because of gender? I have seen some woman who are more intelligent than man.

not to offend any Christian. It is just a question. YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE!?
