Seriously. Put you index fingers in your ears and try to block out as much sound as you can, but don't hurt yourself. Concentrate. What do you hear? If you run around and try it again, you'll even hear you pulse.The pulse isn't what i'm refering to. There is this constant sound behind it like the one you hear you computer make when it's on (if you listen carefully). It also sounds a bit like the static made when the tv is on. It sounds electrical.

How can anyone think his teaching is Christian?

Compare what Freemason-Mormon Brigham Young stated "Adam is our father and our God" with Copeland's quote:-
"Adam, in the Garden of Eden, was God manifested in the flesh."

I have ran into some individuals who are of the Apostolic faith. Every last one of them that I have had an exstensive conversation with has in some way come to the conclusion that speaking in tongues is a requirement to be saved. They also have told me that being baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost is not enough. It must be in the name of Jesus Christ (which I personally believe is one in the same). Everytime I ask them to show me where this is relevant, they refer to the book of Acts. Now according to the word, the only thing that saves you is the blood of Jesus. Now I truly believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God and that He has been raised from the dead so that I can have a right to the kingdom of Heaven. Why do people make salvation so complicated?

Do you think Mohammed would have been successful as a "prophet" in America? Do you think he would have gotten away with "marrying" Aishet when she was only nine?

In the eating hall, a stuffed parrot hung from the ceiling, and from its golden beak dangled a card that read, "We are in training to be nobody special." I had often repeated this to myself, working against my need for achievement and recognition, and the discontent that could engender. "I am in training to be nobody special." Saying the words in my mind, I felt how they redirected me from a certain seductive struggle and excitement and disease, into a more stable focus: forget what others think of you, forget the future goal of achievement; arrive instead in this body/mind, attending to this present moment. This is is the whole of practice.

With the youth and beauty obsessed culture we live in, its very hard to grow older.

There are many positive aspects to being older, and in other countries, elderly people are respected very highly for their experience and wisdom.

How can we change our attitude about getting older in America?

It's not a new trend, but why do some people seem to take personal offense with or feel they are superior and/or want to poke fun at those who have a serious curiosity and interest in the subject of psychic phenomenon?

Jesus warned us that “false Christs and false prophets” will come and will attempt to deceive even God’s elect (Matthew 24:23-27; see also 2 Peter 3:3 and Jude 17-18).

My question is, why doesn't Jesus just warn His believers those are false and should not believe, and why doesn't He stop them in the first place?

Please answer as profoundly as possible, thanks a lot.

God bless,

Paul

With the below written in their Holy Book, how can Islam truly be peaceful. The peaceful ones translate the koran differently, but they all say they are Muslim. They all say that the others are not Islam. How can anyone prove that the other is or isn't??? Don't say it is just a few extremists, DAILY, DAILY, we see the body count. If you are peaceful then Thank God, but there is not way to know who is or isn't as far as I can see. Answers, opinions.

"When the sacred months are over, slay the idolaters (non-Muslims) wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. If they repent (convert) and take to prayer and render the alms levy, allow them to go their way. God is forgiving and merciful."Sura 9:5

"Believers, take neither Jews nor Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number. God does not guide the wrongdoers."

It seems some are just having fun being the 'devil's advocate' and others are just plain hostile. I should say, it is much better to have such murderous thoughts and opinions here than on a real person.

Do you trust one book, one philosophy, one person, one theology, one theory etc. to find your Truth? Or are you a seeker that is open to all?

1. Fairy tales are fun.

2. Talking to Christians is like talking to kids about Santa Clause

3. You remind me that I caught sooooo much bullshit that you missed. That's makes me feel proud

4. It fascinates me to witness people actually believing in the

There is a homeless crazy dude that lives under the bridge down the street from me.

Anyway he keeps saying he is the 2nd comming of Jesus.

He even wrote wrote a few words on a piece of paper. It says "I be dat dude"

From what I heard a collection of whackey words is enough proof the follow someone to the ends of the earth.

How many of you want to come smoke the Hucka with the only real and true 2nd comming?

I swear its really him. I know its him for a fact. Some one else told me it was really him so it MUST be him. There is NO other possible explination.

This might be your last chance to party with the J-boy (thats what his 12 friends call him)
