I have been looking for a long time and I have found nothing. Maybe someone with better computer skills than me can be able to find it.

It is pronounced Isa in Arabic. Also a note, in the Middle East, Christians read their Arabic Bibles and say Isa ibn Allah, Jesus the son of Allah; just thought it would be interesting to some.

I used to be neither for God, G-d, Allah, Jehova, G--, Yawhe, etc.

Now, I just know the simplicities of religion: "Love G-- with all your heart and soul. Love compassion, love justice, love humility, and love everybody."

I don't judge. I act on what Jesus said for one very simple FACT

This is not an opinion. This is a FACT. If you chose to believe it great. If you don't, it is your free will. G-- Bless you.


My proof that Jesus is the Son Of G--?

...Jesus is Alive!?

I would like to share my story with any Christian or non-Christian who is still struggling and faith is not all together there.

I hold G-- to the highest, and to lie would be not only against what I believe, but against G--'s laws. Nothing here is a lie, although it might seem like it. This is the reason I type this. G-- bless you all.

I am 30 years old. I am a mathematics teacher. Since the day I was born I was Catholic. I never practiced it, and Catholic was simply a family label. I considered myself Atheist for 30 years until that day in March, I believe. I was painting my Mom's house. The face of Jesus appeared before my Mom and I. She asked me, "what does this look like to you?" But, before she finished the question I KNEW IT WAS HIM. The long hair, the beard, mustash, garments. Similar to the "Jesus" from "passion of the christ," except the eyes. Those eyes cannot be described. They translated into love, love, and love. If I had to describe them, I would say that the closest to that has been Mother Teresa's eyes. Not to take anything from her, but still, only close.
I thought that had changed me, but it didn't. It did start me off though. But, now as I researched and spent countless hours learning more about him, I started hating Jews and easily angered at anyone who spoke against Jesus. It had actually made me a worse person.
As I stuggled one morning with Currency Trading, he appeared again on the cabinet drawers of my room. He faded and came back over and over until He appeared very clear and said to me: WHY DO YOU WORRY ABOUT THINGS FROM THIS WORLD?" I think he said it two or three times. I started crying, as am right now. This was the first time that Faith came into my heart.
My life started changing, slowly. Same struggles, but different attitude and determination. I prayed day and night and went to Church. But, the real test, is the acts. "YOU WILL BE JUDGED ACCORDING TO YOUR WORKS" is one of my favorites.
In one of the Churches he said to me: "YOU ARE MARKED WITH MY BLOOD." I told my Mom and tried to make sense of it.
The last thing that he told me was: "I AM NOT YOUR FATHER. I AM YOUR BROTHER. THE SON DOES NOT EXIST WITHOUT THE FATHER, BUT WITHOUT THE SON THE FATHER IS ALWAYS."
At moments I wonder if it was all just in my imagination. This is the mistake that I keep making for this is where my Faith is tested.
No matter what, I am a better person for it. I love G-- with all my heart now, and I could never go back. Nothing in this world could ever shake or disturb my Faith. Finding G-- will always be a win-win situation. Now, I live everyday to make G-- proud of me and in the process I fulfill my obligations as human and husband.
I know that I should be doing more for G--'s glory. I am shy, but will soon find the strength and power to glorify him more and more. I am still in my learning stages, but live everyday to follow Jesus Christ's footsteps.
"pourdawg" could not be altogether wrong. But, what I know for certain is that if we are all lost souls, then we need to find G-- so that we can find ourselves in H--
"marty" tells you not to rely on feelings for that is wrong. I say to you, the problem I always made was that I thought too much and searched for contradictions here and there so that I could justify myself. But, if you think with your heart the truth will always ccome to you.

~ADIOS~

I am not here to tell you to quit your religion for they all share the great love that Jesus proclaimed. Be just, compassionate, humble and love G-- with all your heart. Share his glory by doing and not saying.

~ADIOS~

My goal now is simply to share this over and over again. I know G-- will guide me to my next step. I feel so Alive!!! Yes, even in the worst of times.

Why do you keep posting this same story? Don't you have something more to say? Are we all supposed to read this fallacy, and say to ourselves "oh, well that's different! I believe now!" I still maintain you fell off the ladder and bumped your head.

Your Rating:

I chose your answer as best because you are the reason I post this. Yes, I have absolutely nothing more to say than to simply glorify G-- with my personal story. Why else would I waste my time here! I love G-- and the Son. My testimony to non-believers is and will. G-- bless you

I have an interesting theory that superstitions were basically started by obsessive/ complusive personalities long before there was a word for it. So just out of curiosity, I was wondering what superstitions out there that are very feared and avoided sort of speak, and which ones are just ignored and laughed at. Any thoughts you might have on superstitions would be great too.

They have taken prayer out of schools, Trying to take In God we trust off of our currency. The ten commandments out of the courthouses, Banning TV programs for mentioning God (Touched by an angel was cancelled)ect... Why then with every disaster that America faces does our government stand up and ask America to pray or call for a day of prayer. They only want to call on God when they need something from him otherwise he is not to be mentioned. Eventually he will get tired of this. What do you think?

What do you think? Can you choose to believe something, or is belief something that is out of your control.
If you choose to believe something that your senses say is false, are you just tricking yourself?

Because I believe our President has been a failure does not make me a Liberal, a baby killer, a democrat, or a tree hugger, ...ad nasuem.

As of the last 18 years, BOTH parties are an abomination to this country, and only serve their own purpose(and corporate america), not America's well being...

Going into the default mode is sterotyping at it worst. I have been a conservative since the age of 10, and am now 45 years old.

Especially the crap about "Science says we came from monkeys". That one really get's on my nerves. Oh and the one about "there are no transitional fossils" really pisses me off too.
Look, if you creationists are going to talk about something, make sure you stick to mythology. It's what you're best at after all. Do NOT make comments about science and established fact (yes, Evolution is a fact and a theory at the same time, just like gravity and thermodynamics).
I will include some links here for you explaining, in simple terms, things like; what a theory means in science. How many thousands of transitional fossils have been found and so on. Please read and try, and I mean TRY to understand the materiel. If you have trouble with it, say so. I'll do my best to explain what's going on in language you can, hopefully, understand.

I am a Athiest. I am fine with other beliefes and I think people should believe in whatever makes them happy. I choose not to believe in God or the story of Christ. I am happy, successful and loved. Why do so many Christians feel that I am lost because I do not believe in God? I receive so many e-mails from people wanting to help me see the light and find God. Is it so hard to understand that I don't believe in this. You can think I'm going to hell all you want, it doesn't bother me because I don't believe there is a hell. Is it so hard to comprehend that people can have different beliefs and be happy?

If you read Jeremiah, Chapter No.36, Verse No.30, it says that…‘Jehoiachin the father of Jehoiachin… no one will be able to sit on his throne - The throne of David, no one will be able to sit after Jehoiachin.’ If you read later on, II Kings, Chapter No 24, Verse No 6, it says that… ‘Jehoiachin after he died, later on Jehoiachin sat on the throne’ - Unfulfilled prophecy. One is sufficient to prove it is not the word of God

Remember Quran is the only word of GOD.

There is no god but Allah, Prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah
