If "thou shall not kill" is one of God's commandements, what happens to soldiers who kill in religious battle?

I mean this is strange...most companies do not even have over 1000 years existing.And the ones that are about 700 years old were founded over many years of hardwork and labour by their ORIGINAL FOUNDERS but AMAZINGLY Jesus established His faith within 3.5 years and over two thousands years passed and millions of organisations which are Christian based have been established e.g. schools,help centres, churches, music groups, companies, N.G.O.'s, books,speeches,adverts, conferences, people abandoning their good social lives for Him (Jesus).

Jesus' "company" (faith) does not seem to die out like some companies did that were founded within 3.5 years...yet He spoke such simple words!

What do you think guys?

The ad goes on to say, "Teaching our white friends to dance since 1950."
If a white owned company made a statement like that, Jesse Jackson would be all over the country make a plea for blacks to boycott their product.
Why the hell doesn't the white race stick up for itself and retaliate like the blacks do?

John 15:9 says: "I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in My love".

In any relationship, everything depends upon the love of one to another. What value is wealth, if love is lacking between say a husband and wife?
What value is knowledge of God's existence if we're not abiding in His love? We need to learn how much Christ loves us, and how we may abide in that love.

Christ said: "As the Father has loved Me (this is a divine, everlasting, wonderful love) I also have loved you". Christ wants this love to be with us always, the love that the Father bestowed upon Him. Christ wants us to live in the love of the power of God. What a blessing for those of us who know Christ.

If you don't know Christ as your Lord and Savior, He is waiting to fill you with His love. Ask Him into your heart today, and begin to experience His love.

I'm a bit tired of the "all liberals suck" or "all Christians/fill in the blank religion are horrible". Why do people make these statements when they know that not all people in these catagories are how they think they are?

One part of the holy book says that man was created after animals were:
"And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and the cattle after their kind ... And God said, Let us make man ... So God created man in his own image." (Genesis 1:25-27)

But then it says man was created before animals:
"And the Lord God said it is not good that man should be alone; I will make a help-meet for him. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them." (Genesis 2:18-19)

Which is it?

So what if were free? We have more freedoms then you ever will. I think people are just jealous, they don't/will never have the luxuries we do. And without the U.S. the worlds economy would basically suck. Hitler could have gotten away with killing ALL the Jews he wanted. The U.S. has done so many things in history people just for get. I know America isn't what it use to be, but that doesn't mean you have to hate us.

Vegetation Created on the third day and Sun on the fourth day
According to the Bible, Book of Genesis, chapter 1, verses 11-13, vegetation was created on the third day along with seed-bearing
grasses, plants and trees; and further on as per verses 14-19, the sun was created on the fourth day. How is it scientifically possible
for the vegetation to have appeared without the presence of the sun, as has been stated in the Bible?

Please come to the TRUE WORD OF GOD Qur'an.

The Bible says in the book of Genesis, Ch. No.1, Verse No.29, that…
'God has given you all the herbs bearing seeds, the trees bearing fruits - those that bear seed, as meat for you.'
New International Version says…
'The seed bearing plants, and the trees bearing fruits bearing seeds are food for you, all of them.'
Today, even a layman knows that there are several poisonous plants like wild berries, stritchi, datura, plants containing alkaloid,
polyander, bacaipoid - that which if you ingest, if you eat there are high possibilities you may die. How come the Creator of the
universe and the human beings, does not know, that if you have these plants, you will die.

Many say Christ took upon himself their sins(spots) and became a sacrifice in their stead, and such was acceptable to God. But Hebrews 9 & 10 speaks of Christ(the end of the law, thereby the end of law imputed sin) offering himself to God "without spot"(sin). And since sacrifice "for sin" is by the law and of the law, it's what God never desired nor ever took pleasure in; Not to mention it does not purge the conscience, since law is both the source of sin and the strength of sin's death sting, followed by hell.

Perhaps the issue of sacrifice for sin (which is by the law and of the law) should be raised to the level of conscience and expelled from Christ-ianity as putting spots upon spotless Christ, since Christ is "the end of the law", "our peace who hath abolished the law", thereby the author of "eternal salvation" rather than temporal salvation followed by the hell of being destroyed afterward due to having spots, wrinkles, blemishes... which is to allegory say laws.

Spots?

Does that make any of them "cheaters" After all, each of them is not only consenting, but granting permission to each other to partake and enjoy.
I've heard of some christians that say this is "cheating". But cheating is defined as;
v. intr.

1. To act dishonestly; practice fraud.
2. To violate rules deliberately, as in a game: was accused of cheating at cards.
3. Informal. To be sexually unfaithful: cheat on a spouse.


So they cannot be unfaithful, if the spouse in question not only gives permisson, but does so happily in the spirit of the occasion?
So, my question is, in case you haven't figgured it out yet; why would you ever call a mutually agreed upon tryist with another couple, "cheating"?
Intelligent answers only please, any answer starting with "the bible says" will be ignored.

If there were proof of Gods reality, here on earth now. What would it take to convince you that the God of the Bible is who He say's he is and can do what He says He can do. Please keep in mind that if you havent read the bible completly, you could have no basis for oppinion other than heresay and observation. I am asking what it will take for you to believe?

Reguardless of what wars took place in the old testement. Jesus Specifically comanded his followers to "love your enemy" As I said before this is what sets christ's teachings apart from other ideologys. Christs message was that of love, not war. and yet we have some christian churches that are supporting it....
My question is simply to involk THOUGHT.... something that is not happening amoung most christians......
