Read the whole chapter. Jesus said, "When you are born of
FLESH, you are FLESH. And when you are born of SPIRIT,
you are SPIRIT! Just like the wind, which you can hear but not
see, and it blows wherever it wants to go!"
Born Again people? How many of you fit that description?
And will you lose your faith to find there has been a small
misinterpretation of things?
Do church people realize who they look to others when they
"puff themselves up" with these notions of men, and place
themselves above others?

It looks as if following your team in whatever sport is more important that following God. I'm not particularly religious, but that's just what i've noticed.

How can evil spells be evaded? If spells are part of Witch Craft then is there any remedy for this. Can non traditional witches ie: those who don't belong to any organized pagan group cast spells. If so how can it be nuetralised.?

I thought it was transvestites and trans-sexuals! He-Shes, and cross dressers. So what exactly is trans-gendered! Is this just a very confused pereon? I'm serious! It's like, we used to call midgets, midgets, and now we call them vertically challenged!
What's with all this political correctness crap?

Peter Tatchell claims there is a whiff of hypocrisy among some Muslims who, in the name of being spared offence, want to censor other people's opinions.

Monday night’s Channel Four studio debate, Muslims and Free Speech, exemplified the double-standards of some Muslim leaders. They object to people offending their religious sensibilities, but happily cause offence to others whenever it suits them.

i am not a religious type and i want to know what people find so great to god?why do they always believe him the most important things of their lives and don't try to solve them with their forces?why humans don't believe in theirself?

The way u guys see christians act causes you to believe that there is no God, but you only look at the hipocrits but not at the true ones. Isnt it true though, is that the main reason you think there is no God, because of mistakes that Christians make?

In Genesis, God says, "Let us create man in our image." If this is a reference to the trinity, why is god talking to himself in the plural - the trinity is three in one, not three hanging out together.

In fact, it makes it seem like the trinity is an attempt to cover up what clearly seems to be polytheistic remnants in Genesis' narrative.

God does it again in Genesis 3:22
22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us...

There is nothing in the account about angels and others existing yet- again, isn't this a remnant of polytheism?

Lastly, did you ever notice that Adam and Eve DID NOT get kicked out of Eden for eating the fruit? It plainly says they got kicked out lest they tried to become immortal. It says God had to guard the tree that could give immortality with a flaming sword. WHY would he need that?

Lastly, why does it say in Genesis that God would see the rainbow and then remember not to destroy everyone again? Why the need for a post-it note?

Whenever I walk down the street men are always whitsling at me or staring at me and calling me sexy. But I don't think I'm some sort of sex symbol. My mom said that I have natural sex appeal. But I'm not a sexual person.

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. About 85% of the people in this country are Christian, and about 45% of people consider themselves born-again. Sure, some of them are more Christians by name than by actions, but they have the same belief in god and wouldn't fit into a category of persecuting you. The president of the United States, most of the Senate, most of the House of Representatives, and the majority the supreme court identify themselves as Christian. This is the only country where we have kids being, or at least tried to, be fed religion into their classrooms. Your money says "in god we trust." How exactly is there ANY form of persecution against you? Because some people don't AGREE with you? Well guess what? Get used to that because ALL people have others disagree with them. You know what is a persecution? This is a persecution:

READ THIS

A Muslim cleric's claim that women who do not wear the veil are like 'uncovered meat' who attract sexual predators sparked outrage around Australia yesterday.

Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali, the nation's most senior Muslim cleric, compared immodestly-dressed women who do not wear the Islamic headdress with meat that is left uncovered in the street and is then eaten by cats.

not sick? yea right

In 10 years the number of Muslims will outnumber Christians, I just wonder how people feel about this? I mean it cant be as bad as people make out if people are flocking to it in their millions can it?
What does everyone think? Where I live in England I have to put up with all sorts of people trying to convert me, I never get Muslims knocking on my door trying to convert me and yet its numbers are rising continuously.

If I travel to Israel I "Expect" to see Jewish traditions, If I travel to Saudi Arabia I would expect to see Muslim traditions....why because the vast majority of the people in Israel are Jewish, the majority in Saudi Arabia are Muslims, am I offened... NOT one bit. A town in Wisconsin just changed the name of their "Holiday Tree" back to a Christmas tree. The change to "Holiday Tree" was in 1995, now they have gone back. The mayor said the vast majority are "Christians" and the towns people are extremly supportive. According to most polls America is 87% Christian, this is our tradition, this is heritage.

Could this be the beginning of the end of Political Correctness in America?

We hear from the very loud voice of the minority
shoving their views down our throats...isn't it time that we (87%) stand up and claim our heritage....our Christian Tradition!
