We read in Isaiah 7:14, "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." This Scripture was fulfilled 700 years later, when Mary gave birth to the Lord Jesus Christ in a stable in Bethlehem (Matthew 1:22-25). The dear Catholic people believe that Mary is eternally virgin or "ever-virgin" but the Bible does not support that view. We read in Mark 6:3, "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him?" A similar passage is found in Matthew 13:55-57. These verses tell us that Mary and Joseph had children AFTER Jesus was born. If the Catholic church is incorrect about the "eternal virginity" of Mary couldn'y they be wrong about other teachings?

Just wondering. It's got to be one of the best free tickets ever to be born again. Once we do it, Jesus has saved us no matter what we do.

Not that I go around doing evil things, of course, but I'm just wondering what kind of mischief you might have gotten into, but feel blessed about because Jesus died on the cross for your sins?

Thanks.

I once read a question from a christian brother expressing his bad feeling when a Muslim called him infidel, I replied to him saying that the man who called you that is stupid and ignorant etc, because our holy Quaran never said that about christians, on the contrary, Islam considers Christians as brothers, even allowed marriage between people of the 2 religions, same with jewdaism, but let me show you how he replied :

Oh you are MuhamMAD is it?first of all, please refresh your english empression is spelled impression. you have no right to come and speak to me you terrorist paedophile arabian moon worshipper.
your prophet was a rapist, murderer,pirate, paedophile and a cheat. what the hell do you think you are coming to talk to me like this you illegal immigrant nomadic desert pirate....

this is his nickname to prove i am not telling a story "Domoteka" , i dont think he will deny it at all . . but what i am saying is, what do my Muslim and Christian brother think about that ?

Example-America was white only -Africa was black only etc etc

Do you think the world would be more peaceful?

Would a sole race country be more succesful with things like standard of living,inventions and so on?

I am new to going to church, and decided to start going to a family members church. It's an Apostolic church. They believe that you cant truly be saved until you recieve the "holy ghost", and that evidence of recieving "the holy ghost" is displayed by speaki8ng in toungues. Although I belive in Jesus, I have never spontaneously begun to speak in tounges, and I am not about to fake it "just to fit in". I think that most people DO fake it to be a part of the crowd.

Am I right or wrong? Please help me sort this issue out.

Thanks!

What people are really worried about is that more white British people are converting to Islam out of their own will and people are threatened by so many people converting.

Muslims have received alot of exposure recently because of 9/11 and people seem to think they are everywhere. There are less than 2 million out of 60 million.

Also just because some loudmouths say things like why do white women wear mini skirts doesn't mean the majority of Muslims say don't wear it. It means we object to it because of our religion, not that we really want all your women covered up, I am a girl and I want women to cover up because I think it looks classier. Not because I want to convert everyone in sight.

Like the British say : freedom of speech.

I really dislike it when Muslims drink alcohol or girls wear clothes that do not comply with modest dress but obviously anybody who is not a Muslim can do what they like- nothing to do with me and I have no right to say anything.

Jimmy Swaggart paid a prostitute to just " watch " what she does. Is it a sin or bad consumerism? People still follow him.

Peter Popoff, was exposed for using microphones and said it was the Holy Spirit communicating the peoples ills ( Full names and addresses too.) to him. He's a douche bag! Preying on peoples hopes. This guy is still on on cable television!

Rev. Haggard can decide which is most important, God, family, methamphetamine, or playing pitcher and catcher?

My vote still goes with Peter Popoff. What's your opinion?

I have a lot of Black friends, and the vast majority of them don't have a father, or if they do, they never see him and he's a dead-beat. Why is this the case? Most of my Black girlfriends don't care that their fathers are nowhere to be found? Why is that?
