I have to prepare a Salvation Sermon for Sunday night...I'm struggling BIG TIME with this particular message. I need intercessory prayer.

If you're a Christian - pray for me.

Are Christians right?
or baptists?
or jehova's whitnesses?
or jews?
or any other obscure religion?
or are they all right?
do you go to your selective religion's paradise or "hell" (for lack of a better word)?
or is there a god at all?
is it all just the imagination of man?
The fabrication of the human mind as an explaination of unknown oddities. Like life and death, the creation of the universe, the meaning of life, disease, poverty, and everything else that has troubled minds for centuries.

I wish to learn my self and want some insight. What types of things can you do? What do you need? Do you do verbal stuff or does it involve making potions of sorts? Can it make ones mind stronger? How easily is it to go wrong? Most one changes their beliefs all together. Tell me any thing and every thing.

So far, what I have been told is that the first type of magic and prayer and to start with that first.

This is from a book. If you have an objective thought or two on the passage it would be nice to hear what you think.

"Christianity is primarily a religion of cleavage, demonstrating to man his duality and so laying the foundation for future unity. This is a most needed stage and has served humanity well; the purpose and intent of Christianity has been definite and high and it has done its divine work. Today it is in the process of being superseded, but by what new formulation of truth is not yet revealed. The light is slowly pouring into man's life and in this lighted radiance he will formulate a new religion and arrive at a fresh enunciation of ancient truth. Through the lens of the illumined mind, he will shortly see aspects of divinity hitherto unknown. Has it ever dawned on you that there may be qualities and characteristics of the divine nature, latent as yet within the form, and for which we have neither words nor other adequate medium of expression? So it is."

If I became the ruler of this planet?
I would try to make the world a better place. I also wouldn't try to force anyone to change any of their religions and beliefs. I would give everyone a chance to be who they want to be. There would be no more poverty and only necessary laws. Criminals would be dealt with appropriately, and I would make sure that the world is made a safer, cleaner place.
Does it sound good to you?

People today have never met Jesus and could not be influenced by his personal charisma. So why do you think people follow Jesus today? Also, what about all the other charismatic cult leaders, people like David Koresh and Charles Manson... the following of these people quickly dies away after they die. Why does Jesus's influence live on?

In order to know that an object is white (for example), you have to have the idea of what white means. I see a lot of Christians (with a lot of religious denominations), saying that "God is perfect". How can they say "perfect" when they never know what "perfect" is? The fact that I "feel" good because "I am Christian", it does not mean that God is perfect, it means that in their narrow mind they found some kind of "perfection". Reading the Bible doesn't make anything more "perfect" but give the way of a lot of other "perfections". Don't they see that "perfection" is in the eye of (religion) beholder?

I watched the TV and saw millions of Muslims dancing on the sreets in every Muslim country of the world. They were screaming with joy and rejoicing over the fall of the twin toweres of the un-believers. Why are they not protesting against the violence that is carried out in the name of their religion.

Someone below was asking why some Christians do not believe that Catholics are Christians. I want to know WHY people think that Catholics worship Mary or the Saints? Can anyone give me ANY proof that this is the teaching of the Catholic Church? That anyone other than the Triune God should be worshiped....
