Lo, a day shall come for the Lord when the spoils shall be divided in your midst. And I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle: the city shall be taken, houses plundered, women ravished; half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be removed from the city. (Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB

Do so many people hate Arabs because of Muhammad, or because of the Quran, or because of Islam?

I am sure Arabs are confused at how their Semitic cousins can get away with murder bacause the Crusaders want them, the Arabs, dead, but if one small group of Pakistanies talk to each other on their mobile phones, international panic is created over some foiled plot to murder thousands of people, and the finger is pointed at the ARABS, in the form of AL QAEDA, and the Arabs are once again branded as TERRORISTS.

This must really be heart-breaking to the millions of Arabs who may not even have time to look at TV or to read newspapers?

And what about the millions of Muslims who feel that this phobia is threatening their freedom to worship the Only True God, in peace?

Arabs ought to do domething about their image or wait until they can get acknowledgment of 6 million Arabs murdered in the present campaign in order to gains some sympathy from their influential friends.

when you see a clock you need no proof to know that there was a wise designer and maker behind that clock, now in a greater scale look at all the order in the universe , coming and giong of seasons, day and night, rain cycle... the way our body works, hormones and.... ... ...
how can you say "oh it was all accidental" ,
the probability that it all is accidental is 0 (if you have studied probability in the mathematics)
why do you want to base your life in 0 probability??.

the first believers in Yeshua-Jesus in english-were all Jewish including Rabbi Saul-they believed the Messianic prophecies-pointed right to Jesus-
point is if Jesus is a good person in somes eyes-He said stuff -that he would either be the Messiah or a total liar.
how can u be Jewish and reject the Messiah-
Jewish people read this and ignore it-well people that claim to be Jewish but they arnt they reject Moses command from God-
"The life of the flesh is in the blood, and i have given it on the altar to make atonement for our souls" Leviticus 17 vs 11 do u have a blood atonement i do Jesus -do you have a Messiah -i do Jesus-please call urself whatever u desire -but its not the Judiasm of Moses-and ive stated Isaiah 52 vs 13-53vs 12
its also been said to me Im Jewish i dont care if Jesus is our Messiah i wont accept him into my heart cause then i wont be Jewish -hello what is unjewish in believing in the one promised to the
Virgin as a sign-miracle Isa 7vs14

Kill Enemies



But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and slaughter them in my presence. [spoken by Jesus as a parable] (Luke 19:27 NRS)

I mean if you believe in the bible, the Jews have every right to reclaim that land and the Palestinians are just squatters. However, popular eblief is that the Israelis are the aggressors booting out the poor Palestinians. I know what I said is simpler than it really is, so do ALL Christians and Catholics who lives and die by the Bible on the Israelis' side? If not, then the bible is false. Furthermore, along those lines of thinking...what else is wrong in the bible?

If the books of the bible were voted on by the a group of bishops , some were included some were rejected, how can this be the voice of god if man decided?
If god worked through the bishops to select which books of the bible why did he not work through all the bishops and not just some?
if he did work through some of the bishops why did he select a bishop to vote for a "true" book in one vote then get him to vote and lose in the next vote on a book?
Did god lose a vote ( and thereby there is a false book in the bible) or was the bishop then abandoned by god to make a mistake in the next vote?

Kill Priests of Other Religions

Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people that they would be the LORD's people. He also made a covenant between the king and the people. And all the people of the land went over to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They demolished the altars and smashed the idols to pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. Jehoiada the priest stationed guards at the Temple of the LORD. Then the commanders, the Carite mercenaries, the guards, and all the people of the land escorted the king from the Temple of the LORD. They went through the gate of the guards and into the palace, and the king took his seat on the royal throne. (2 Kings 11:17-19 NLT)

Whoever spoils his son will bind up his wounds, and will suffer heartache at every cry. An unbroken horse turns out stubborn, and an unchecked son turns out headstrong.

Pamper a child, and he will terrorize you; play with him, and he will grieve you. Do not laugh with him, or you will have sorrow with him, and in the end you will gnash your teeth. Give him no freedom in his youth, and do not ignore his errors. Bow down his neck in his youth, and beat his sides while he is young, or else he will become stubborn and disobey you, and you will have sorrow of soul from him. Discipline your son and make his yoke heavy, so that you may not be offended by his shamelessness. (Sirach 30:7-13 NRS)

Is the concept of divinity different within religions that emerged among less nomadic, more temperate (watered) cultures? Does the warrior culture of nomadic peoples effect the image of God as taking sides in battles?

The LORD then gave these further instructions to Moses: 'Tell the people of Israel to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you forever. It helps you to remember that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. Yes, keep the Sabbath day, for it is holy. Anyone who desecrates it must die; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community. Work six days only, but the seventh day must be a day of total rest. I repeat: Because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.' (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT)
