When the goverment, yes the goverment, starts tryna make people,especially christians, take the mark to to prove loyalty to either God or goverment. I mean ya'll know aint nobody shovin nothing down your throat; you just choose to percieve it that way becuase ya'll are convicted in ya'll hearts about it evan without christians having to tell you.

So are ya'll gonna stand up for christians when the goverment tries to make us pledge allegiance to them when they know were for God(Jesus Christ). Or will ya'll just sit back and let them do it or try to help them shove it down our throats?

Has anyone used this as a defense in Court? Jesus told me to do it?

Curious, couple of people in the Bible do this, not with a cell phone they just kill people and say God told them it was ok.

Isn't that kinda . . . whats the word, psychotic or insane?

I've seen more than enough posts on here about this subject. Doing this is both unsanitary and inconsiderate to other pool users.. The only thing I can guess is that some people weren't raised with good manners.

Ive been reading Hawkings "Brief History of Time" and it occured to me how comparable modern day resistance to evolution is with previous resistance to Galieo's model of the Universe.

Follow me here....the main reason 'sun centered' models were rejected was because they implied an 'insignificance' to our little slot of space in the universe. Understanably, people thought that the earth was the center of the entire cosmos and the entire cosmos was no bigger than several planets.

So, the resistance was largely due to the spirtual ramifications or the larger philisophical question about mans significance. If earth is the center, and the universe is only so many plants long, then humans must have some great purpose or significance...all revolves around us.

How difficult it was to finally realize that the stars twinkling in the sky...WERE ACTUALLY SUNS FROM OTHER UNIVERSES! Ahh...our significance is diminished.

See the analog to evolution here?

The ones that went outside into the sun and saw the world for how it really was and now how the shadows on the wall appeared to? Then they go back in the cave and try and convince those who have become so comfortable staring at those shadows that they refuse to follow them outside into the actual sunlight?

If you don't know what I mean you should read Plato's Allegory of a Cave.

I once had a carfull of teens pull around me and into a spot I was waiting to enter. I had waited on the previous car to leave the spot and was getting ready to enter the spot when the teens beat me to the spot and then laughed at me. So I parked elsewhere and let the air out of their tires on my way into the store.

A cold March wind danced around the dead of night in Dallas as the doctor walked into the small hospital room of Diana Blessing. She was still groggy from surgery. Her husband, David, held her hand as they braced themselves for the latest news. That afternoon of March 10, 1991, complications had forced Diana, only 24-weeks pregnant, to undergo an emergency Cesarean to deliver couple's new daughter, Dana Lu Blessing. At 12 inches long and weighing only one pound nine ounces, they already knew she was perilously premature. Still, the doctor's soft words dropped like bombs. "I don't think she's going to make it," he said, as kindly as he could. "There's only a 10-percent chance she will live through the night, and even then, if by some slim chance she does make it, her future could be a very cruel one" Numb with disbelief, David and Diana listened as the doctor described the devastating problems Dana would likely face if she survived. She would never walk, she would never talk, she would probably be blind, and she would certainly be prone to other catastrophic conditions from cerebral palsy to complete mental retardation, and on and on. "No! No!" was all Diana could say. She and David, with their 5-year-old son Dustin, had long dreamed of the day they would have a daughter to become a family of four. Now, within a matter of hours, that dream was slipping away But as those first days passed, a new agony set in for David and Diana. Because Dana's underdeveloped nervous system was essentially 'raw', the lightest kiss or caress only intensified her discomfort, so they couldn't even cradle their tiny baby girl against their chests to offer the strength of their love. All they could do, as Dana struggled alone beneath the ultraviolet light in the tangle of tubes and wires, was to pray that God would stay close to their precious little girl. There was never a moment when Dana suddenly grew stronger. But as the weeks went by, she did slowly gain an ounce of weight here and an ounce of strength there. At last, when Dana turned two months old. her parents were able to hold her in their arms for the very first time. And two months later, though doctors continued to gently but grimly warn that her chances of surviving, much less living any kind of normal life, were next to zero, Dana went home from the hospital, just as her mother had predicted. Five years later, when Dana was a petite but feisty young girl with glittering gray eyes and an unquenchable zest for life. She showed no signs whatsoever of any mental or physical impairment. Simply, she was everything a little girl can be and more. But that happy ending is far from the end of her story. One blistering afternoon in the summer of 1996 near her home in Irving, Texas, Dana was sitting in her mother's lap in the bleachers of a local ball park where her brother Dustin's baseball team was practicing. As always, Dana was chattering nonstop with her mother and several other adults sitting nearby when she suddenly fell silent. Hugging her arms across her chest, little Dana asked, "Do you smell that?" Smelling the air and detecting the approach of a thunderstorm, Diana replied, "Yes, it smells like r ain." Dana closed her eyes and again asked, "Do you smell that?" Once again, her mother replied, "Yes, I think we're about to get wet. It smells like rain." Still caught in the moment, Dana shook her head, patted her thin shoulders with her small hands and loudly announced, "No, it smells like Him. It smells like God when you lay your head on His chest." Tears blurred Diana's eyes as Dana happily hopped down to play with the other children. Before the rains came, her daughter's words confirmed what Diana and all the members of the extended Blessing family had known, at least in their hearts, all along. During those long days and nights of her first two months of her life, when her nerves were too sensitive for them to touch her, God was holding Dana on His chest and it is His loving scent that she remembers so well.

read this:


" Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the Word they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverance of your lives"



The reason why I post this is because I recently ask a question about submitting to my non-Christian husband and got a few responses that said if he was not a Christian then I did not have to submit to him and I think that people should be aware of what the bible has to say on this subject.


Any comments?

Why do you dislike it so much; most Christians I know (including me) help the world out so much like sending clothes and money to other parts of Earth.

I am Catholic and have decided that I no longer want to be. I want all records that I was a part of the church to be removed. How can I do that? Does the Vatican have all the names of baptised people or something?
