Society & Culture - 1 December 2006

There is a lot of talk in churches here in Scotland about "Presenting the Gospel" but if you are on a bus and chatting to a stranger and want to tell him/her the gospel how do is that done in a short space of time without sounding all pious and religious. How do I put it across in everyday language that "Joe Bloggs" can understand ?

Please could you avoid answers like "the Holy Spirit will do it for you", I would like real life answers for this question please.

Thanks in advance for your replies

Andy

Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
forward into battle, see, his banners go!

Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus going on before.
At the sign of triumph Satan's host doth flee;
on then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
(Refrain)
Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod.
We are not divided, all one body we,
one in hope and doctrine, one in charity.
(Refrain)
Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
but the church of Jesus constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never gainst that church prevail;
we have Christ's own promise, and that cannot fail.
(Refrain)
Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng,
blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.
Glory, laud, and honor unto Christ the King,
this through countless ages men and angels sing.
(Refrain)

Why don't jews and muslims get together and fight the bigger threat to the world, the USA.
jews have brain and intellect and arabs have oil and men power.
if only they sorted their difference, they could rule the world. jews and muslims don't need the war monger USA to tell them what to do.
i beg you most humbly to put your differences aside and work together to eliminate the big bully imperialist USA.

Muslims consider Muhammad as the most righteous man ever walked on earth.

While Christians say Muhammad is the false prophet mentioned in Revelation 20:10... So they consider him the most evil man ever walked on earth.

The question: How can the SAME MAN be considered by two groups of people as the MOST righteous and the MOST evil man ever walked on earth?

ALL TOGETHER NOW

All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings.

Refrain

The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightens up the sky;

Refrain

The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one;

Refrain

The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows for our play,
The rushes by the water,
To gather every day;

Refrain

He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

Can anyone honestly rectify being gay and adhering to any of the world religions (more ephasis on Islam and Christianity and Judaism) . In other words, taking the sacred writings and justifying God's love or acceptance of this sexual orientation? I'm curious as a gay man and having lived in the Middle East and grew up Catholic. I'm not seeing any way of rectifying the two other than through systematic rationalization of each condemnation thereby melding it to conform to my hopes of a God who accepts me. Any ideas?

How far is ti still practiced today? Do upper and lower castes intermarry, or does it create problems if someone wants to marry from another
