If any guy out there is thinking about molesting a little kid but doesn't want to get caught...all he has to do is become a catholic priest? I'm not saying that they all do it, but why do the ones who do always seem to get away with it?

While they produced these mass murderers: Timothy McVeigh, KKK, Hitler, Bush and Milosevic, who killed millions of Muslims in Bosnia, were Christian.

Do you think they'd be ashamed of the bigotry and intolerance their followers seem to revel in ( death to Christians, Die Infidels die, Kill the Jews.....) ?

Or do they have their own war up there too?

Seriously, how can Christians show healthy love for other people? I think most people just don't know how to love right, and judging is all they know how to do. So if anyone has serious advice, please write it. If you just want to joke around, well, go ahead. But I hope I get some serious answers too!

John 2
Christ Helps Us
1My children, I am writing this so that you won't sin. But if you do sin, Jesus Christ always does the right thing, and he will speak to the Father for us. 2Christ is the sacrifice that takes away our sins and the sins of all the world's people.

In the beginning was the one
who is called the Word.

The Word was with God

and was truly God.

2From the very beginning

the Word was with God.

3And with this Word,

God created all things.

Nothing was made

without the Word.

Everything that was created

4received its life from him,

and his life gave light

to everyone.

5The light keeps shining

in the dark,

and darkness has never

put it out. [a] 6God sent a man named John,

7who came to tell

about the light

and to lead all people

to have faith.

8John wasn't that light.

He came only to tell

about the light.

9The true light that shines

on everyone

was coming into the world.

10The Word was in the world,

but no one knew him,

though God had made the world

with his Word.

11He came into his own world,

but his own nation

did not welcome him.

12Yet some people accepted him

and put their faith in him.

So he gave them the right

to be the children of God.

13They were not God's children

by nature

or because

of any human desires.

God himself was the one

who made them his children.

14The Word became

a human being

and lived here with us.

We saw his true glory,

the glory of the only Son

of the Father.

From him all the kindness

and all the truth of God

have come down to us.

Salvation is the deliverance by God of a sinner from His own righteous judgment.
Salvation is deliverance of the sinner from the righteous judgment of God.
Salvation means that we are "saved" from that judgment.

There are many non-Christian religions and cults in America: Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science, Unity, The Way International, Unitarianism, Islam, Hinduism, etc. All of them add to the finished work of Jesus on the cross. Some cult groups even add to the Bible, i.e., Mormonism which has the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and The Pearl of Great Price. Also Christian Science has added Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. The Jehovah's Witnesses, however, have actually changed the text of the Bible to make it fit what they want it to.Cults add their own efforts, their own works of righteousness to the finished work of salvation accomplished by Jesus on the cross

31Jesus told the people who had faith in him, "If you keep on obeying what I have said, you truly are my disciples. 32You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
33They answered, "We are Abraham's children! We have never been anyone's slaves. How can you say we will be set free?"

34Jesus replied:

I tell you for certain that anyone who sins is a slave of sin!
