This is where Jesus heals the blind man, and his disciples ask "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" (NIV)

Since he was born blind, does the possibility of blindness because of his sin even exist without the concept of reincarnation?

Another example which raises this question is when the people ask Jesus if he is Elijah (John 1:21). Is that question even meaningful without the concept of reincarnation?

and either do several of the guys (including my fiance) that I asked the same question to. There's just too much curiosity, too much
temptation, too much "of the forbidden" for them to not check it out on a routine basis. What do you think?

Many a well educated non-Christian has read the Bible yet only Christians know how to interpret it properly.

Even the poorly educated Christians can interpret the Bible better than a well educated non-Christian.

Is this one of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit?

I live in Germany, and I'm American. I'm sure I have alot more contact with French than most people in the states and I find them to generaly be freindly, helpfull, respectfull, ect... My wifes best freind's boyfreind, french, traveled from france to germany on his Vacation to help me out with my new bar, and I barely even knew the guy, he worked for free, and insisted on paying for all his drinks!
I spent my honey moon in france and everywhere i went they treated me like a king, I met several nice people in various bars and clubs.
The french people were against the War in Iraq and thegovernment Obeyed their wishes to stay out, isn't that the basis of Democracy? Some peple say that makes them chickens, I say anybody that sucks up to the US and does whatever we want is a chicken.
They helped us in the Rev. War.
French cusine is awsome, ever tried it?
Now I'm not going to say they are perfect, but why should we hate them? Don't we have enough enemies already?

I am rather perplexed as to why this question was deleted. It is not racist. Those who report it ARE. Those who delete it ARE.

Think about it, folks. Often times a question is simply an inquiry about a FACTUAL topic. Don't believe me? Research it.

Just because it mentions race it does not make it a "racist" comment in any negative sense of the word.

There is this organization called "Jews for Jesus" who claim to be of both religions. I thought that the Jewish community believed that the Messiah has not yet come. Christians believe the exact opposite. How can you claim to be both?

It states in Titus 3:9, that genealogy should be avoided. Yet in Genesis and several other places in the Bible, genealogy is listed in great detail. Please explain.

A group separated to physically minister to the congregation so the leadership could spend proper time in the word and prayer to minister spiritually. Where is this???

When asked a question about how European christians stole Native American land etc he replied :

"I think it's pathetic whining from a people who sold land they did'nt own in the hopes of pulling one over on the "white fools". It was only when those "fools" started doing something with the land (something no native group ever did) did they understand what they had done.
And now they want it back? sorry cochise, you got your wampum and now you have a reserve. Stay there. "

WOW
