I was recently browsing the Clavicular Salomonis (Key of Solomon the King) and the Lemegeton Clavicular Salomonis (Lesser Key of Solomon the King) and although these are pagan spells and rituals, involving invoking demons etc. they all praise the Christian God in their content and rituals - they seem to be Christian demon summonings! Can anyone briefly explain to me the history of the book, or why it appears to have two completely contrasting principles included? Thanks!

p.s. i'm not stupid, but i'm also only 16, so simple words would be appreciated - I don't mind complicated answers, since I know this is likely to be a complex topic, but responses that don't require a dictionary to be read would be useful... just a request!

Some refer to it as predestination. In other words, do you believe that God in His soverignty elects some to Heaven and some to Hell?

I have seen it in movies and I've even seen people do that. It's kind of hard to explain but they touch their nose almost like if they're agreeing with something. What is that something? What does that mean?

If youhad another chance to do it over again would you have waited? Was it what you thought it would be? Do you look back and smile or do you regret it?

All Christians must be pacifists as Jesus's words and deeds were acts of non-violence. How can people like George Bush claim to be Christian when they believe in revenge?

"But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also" (Matthew 5:39).

"And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out [his] hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword" (Matthew 26:50-52).

"Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord." (Romans 12:19, NIV)

Need I say more?

A woman delivered a baby this morning in a Wall-Mart, stating that she did not know she was pregnant...

Is this woman, like 1000LBs, or did she just happen to notice something was amiss, like her period?

And we wonder with a gene pool like this how we can take on the likes of Germany, Japan, China...

Using this simple criteria... please inform me which logically would be the truth.
See... if the devil is real and has great influence over society(eg. Bush professing to be christian while being a freemason at the same time etc) then the devil must use a lot of energy to try and dissuade people from the truth right?

And which then of these three religions is suppressed, hated, feared and despised?

What factual basis do you have to feel those feeling about it? (Don't give me that globalists media crap...heard it all before.... I'm talking about you! and what you have read(books) and the knowledge that you! possess that you haven't gleamed from others and media).

I think many aspects of donating/receiving sperm could be considered sinful. A man is sexually pleasing himself without the presense of a wife and will abandon countless children that he will never meet and probably never even know exist; A women is impregnating herself with a stranger's sperm, often times out of wedlock and perhaps even in order to have a child with a gay partner; Both a man and a woman are opting to procreate unnaturally; The child will be a product of science rather than of love.

I'm not too religious, I'm just looking for support/rebuttals to this claim. Please and thank you.

Do you think Christ will approve of these judgmental, intolerant people who cut and paste bible passages to respond to the simplest question. Passages that I don't think they have read themselves and if they did they probably don't understand it.?
