Please share your thoughts. This was (is supposed to be) a Christian program with a Preacher & his family setting examples for us (the tv audience). Granted for story line purposes the kids did crazy things. But on every episode this season they are lying to each other, flat out! And dont apologize at the end of the show for the lies (to let us know that lying is wrong) and the Preachers wife even cussed last night! What example is this setting for sinners? " Hey, just say Lord Im sorry and do whatever you want to do." Where are the real Christian programs? Besides the preachers preaching in pulpits.

Please vent here.

George Bernard Shaw. one of Europe's most famous figures said
of the prophet Muhammad (pbuh):
"I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of today."

Michael Hart ranked him number 1 in his book:
A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History.

Having faith in a God is not having proof. By definition faith is trust without proof. But, (and this is a big but) those that insist that they know for sure because of some book, are very brave. To depend on absolutes and to anchor all that defines your understanding of yourself and the world around you in certainties that you can in no way be certain of, is a risky endeavor.
All of the brightest minds of the 13th century were positive that the earth was flat and that a person would be in danger of falling off the edge if they sailed too far west. And it was once a crime to suggest that the Earth was not the center of the universe with the sun, stars, and planets revolving around us. And all along the eastern seaboard the very people who started, what would become the United States of America, began killing men, women and children (mostly women) in the name of God. The very people they sat in church with on Sunday, or traded goods with on a daily basis. They were just as sure about there right to kill these “witches” (and that there were witches) as some people are that God loves us so much that he gave his only son in payment of our sins. And left us the choice to burn in a fire pit of eternal suffering or walk with him. (That’s love right there, I don’t care who you are}
For those of you that are certain about Jesus and God, I would love to have the following few passages from the bible explained. There are many more passages like these in the old and new testament. Remember kids if you are going to use the bible to justify your position, you can't just pick and choose what you want to use. And please don't try and tell me what it was suppose to mean or give me any bull about hidden meaning of some kind unless for some reason my bible was missing the decoder ring. It says what it says and we all must deal with it on those terms. Thank you
Genesis 6:6-7 God was sorry he ever made us?
Did he not see this coming? How can he regret something he did on purpose? Or did he make a mistake?
Exodus 21 all of it with focus on v2, 7-10 *sells his daughter as a slave? v20 you can beat a slave as long as they don't die?
Exodus 21 is the continuation of a conversation Moses has with God on Mt. Sinai right after he gives him the 10 commandment (Exodus 20)
Before using the Jesus came to change these things reasoning on these passages read
Matthew 5:17-20 he didn't come to destroy the Law of Moses.

Preacher: Kindly Note.

Dear Sir,
I appreciate your well-intentioned reply and I sincerely thank you. I myself used to believe in the doctrine of the trinity, but I decided not to just go along with the religions of my fore-Fathers but to seek and find answers for myself based on accurate knowledge. The truth, precious one, is that the doctrine of Trinity is founded on paganism and there are many pagan gods with one head and three faces. Like many today, I am sure you would want to go beyond ages of dogmatism and seek out accurate information for yourself. The truth is that the Holy Spirit is God’s active force, a helping force and not a person.. Think of the many hundreds of people that the Holy Spirit was poured on ---in the second chapter of Acts. You would not say that the Holy Spirit multiplied itself into hundreds of invisible persons, would you?

Our creator is our heavenly Father God and Jesus is His begotten son. Jesus never claimed to be equal with God, did he? Also, it is written that “no man has seen God at anytime (John 1:18)”------but has people seen Christ? If Christ was God, then it might have been a crazy God that talked to himself!!!!!!!, asking God to remove the chalice from him, if possible and saying ‘Father, into thy hands, I commit my spirit?’ I know many people get confused with the first verse of John 1, which most bible states “in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God.” Does that sentence makes sense? Early Christians wrote that text to suit their incorrect dogma of Trinity. Some earlier versions of the bible use the sentence …”the word was a God,” ------“the word was a divine one.” Are you getting the picture and thinking verbal distortions just to advance the dogma of trinity? I am glad to refer you to some resource where you will have an idea of the origin of the trinity dogma. Trinity was never in the Bible. Please at your convenience, do look up TRINITY in The New Encyclopedia Britannica, The New catholic Encyclopedia, The Encyclopedia Americana, NouveauDictionnaire Universal, John Mckenzie’s Dictionary of The Bible…etc.

Scripturally, there are many Scriptures that educate us that God and Jesus Christ are not equal and that one is greater than the other. You will find John 14:28, Mathew 24:26, Mathew 16:15-17, Mark 12: 28-30 Mathew 26:39. John 8:17,18, Acts 7:55,( to name a miniscule number of pertinent scriptures) to be very elucidating. Use an open mind, void of pre-formed opinion and you will get a picture more accurate than you currently do on TRINITY. Jehovah, the true God has an orderly arrangement, for he is a God not of disorder and confusion; but of peace (1 Cor 14:33). The head of Jesus Christ is his father, the true God John 5:19,20, John 8:29, 1 Cor 15,27,28. Let’s visit 1 Corinthians chapter 11 verse 3 –“But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.” You cab see clear distinction here.

I pray that may you have an open mind to seek accurate knowledge and may God sends you His Holy Spirit to further enlighten you, we make this request through God’s son, Jesus Christ.

Sincerely
With God’s love.

Man, looking around Yahoo! people are always making derogatory comments towards the natural state. Man what is up with that. Why does everybody think that we are some hillbillies who sit on the porch of our cabin spitting "tobbacee" all day. Why does everyone associate us with being illerterate and dirty?

Years ago, my old dad used to sing along to a song called (I think) what a mouth. It began:
What a mouth
What a mouth
What a North & South
Blimey what a mouth he's got

Well, it's his birthday soon and as I'm in a group, I wanted to sing it to him for his surprise birthday. Does anyone have the words please?

I want good and honest answers from you guys not excuses and please don't say that you were born that way. Is it the new trend? did someone influence/brainwash you to make you think that you are too (pretending to help you get out of the closet)? is it tv? is it because it is the thing to do since it's easier to hook up with guys than girls? were you one of the boys who couldn't really get girls back in high school because you were too skinny, ugly, full of acne or did you get laughed at or made fun of by girls, or you didn't dare approaching girls when you were younger, maybe you also got hurt by a girl or more somewhere along the way? boys like to experience with things, did you try having a physical relationship with a guy at some point and liked it because you don't have to worry about someone getting pregnant or at the time being in a relationship? could also be that you liked the fact that you can have a lot more physical relations with guys than girls?

I mean, pple get lots of different explanations 4rm d same bible. like in 3000AD pple were killing Christ haters, but the same Book's theme is love and salvation for all mankind.
people confuse it 4 a religion, equating it to other kinds of religion.
pple claim that God made them gays, but the Bible says he made them "male and female"...
the Book was written by God through men, but some pple on yahoo answers say its "men of ancient times that worte it. it dont apply here/now", but Bible says God's Spirit inspired holy men of long ago to write it.
