Men have been running the show for thousands of years now. In charge of everything pretty much- politics, military, religion. Have we been better off?

think about it. We phillistines would be entertained, the lions would get a good square meal, and the Christians would go to Heaven! Everyone's happy!

When you get a splinter shouldn't it be like a blessing to remind you of what Jesus went through?

I want to the funeral for my sister-in-laws father yesterday. I have to admit that I was a little taken aback. Ninety-eight percent of the service was devoted to a; get saved or end up in hell message. He heard next to nothing about the deceased. It seemed strange that there was nothing geared towards celebrating the man’s life. Is this common?

In the Charge, She says She wants no sacrifices. If this be true, then She is unique among the Beings of the universe. How is it She lets you off the hook of quid pro quo when Jaweh and Baal and Allah demand blood and firstborns?

Psychologists say that people will die for what they believe in unless they've been given proof that the belief is false. We won't die for something that we know is false. We especially wouldn't go through torture for something that we made up.

Many argue that Jesus was never resurrected, and that His followers only made up the story to start a church (?). Not that the argument isn't flawed in other ways, but I offer up the following:

With this in mind, think about the apostles of Jesus that were willing to die in horrible torturous ways defending their rabbi that they saw resurrected. Would you let someone skin you alive knowing that you'd made something up? Would you let them burn your or crucify you upside down? Would you sit in prison after prison simply because you talked about this event? I don't believe anyone would.

We all have faith. We go to sleep expecting to get up later. Yet people around the world die every day in their sleep. The thought we sleep and later rise is faith. Faith is what keeps us all moving. If you have faith that you will see tomorrow, why don't you have faith in other unseen matters?

Here are some examples of people who mocked God:
JOHN LENNON:
Some years ago, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:
"Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that.
I am certain. Jesus was OK, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him (1966)." Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more
famous than Jesus Christ, (soon after) was shot six times.
TANCREDO NEVES:
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from the Presidency. Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.
CAZUZA:
During a show in Canecão (Rio de Janeiro), whilst smoking his cigarette, he
puffed out some smoke into the air and said: God, that's for you. It cannot be explained how he died.
THE MAN WHO BUILT THE TITANIC:
After the construction of the Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be.With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it!"
The result: We all know what happened to the Titanic.


MARILYN MONROE:
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He is a preacher and Evangelist and the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing
what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus." A week later, she was found dead in her apartment. How she died is still being debated today.


BON SCOTT:
The ex-vocalist for AC/DC on one of his 1979 songs, he sang: "Don't stop me,
I'm going down all the way, the highway to hell." On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he choked on his own vomit.


CAMPINAS/SP IN 2005:
In Campinas, a group of friends, all drunk, went to pick up another friend.
The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of all her friends that she said to the daughter - holding her hand, who was already seated in the car: "MY DAUGHTER, GO WITH GOD AND MAY HE PROTECT YOU."
She responded: ONLY IF HE (GOD) RIDES IN THE TRUNK, COZ INSIDE HERE its ALREADY FULL." Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a
fatal accident; everyone had died; the car could not be recognized as to what type of car it was, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact. The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their amazement, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, and none of them were broken.


Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus. Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is STILL alive.
