apochryphal books?

The 66 books of the Bible have a different Spirit than the additional books put in the Catholic Cannon also? Also, a deffinite different Spirit of the Koran.

How can this be, if the Holy Bible writes that the Holy Spirit is one Spirit? But the gifts are different.

I have personnally felt the difference when I read in them. The Spirit of the Holy Bible enlightens to me truth out of the Bible. It is a different Spirit than any spiritual inspiration of any Apochryphal books.

Now the pagan "catholics" and pagan "christians" believe that one of their "gods" has a "GOD" or worse yet, there are pagan "christians" who believe that the "imag"ined "jesus" is their "only true god" ;-(

NowThe Messiah testified, "I ascend to My GOD and your(His disciples) GOD, to My Father and your Father"!

"The Only True GOD", HE IS GOD! HE was not created.......

And The Messiah? He was the "beginning of The Creation of "The Only True GOD"", "the firstborn of every creature", "the firstborn of many Brethren", and The Messiah was a "servant of The Only True GOD".......

And while there is breath(spirit) there is hope!

For Miracles do happen!

Hope is there will be those who experience The Miracle that is "receiving a love of The Truth", for they will enter into The Kingdom of GOD!

And they will "see" The Messiah as He was, is, and always will be.

Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(blindness) that is of this wicked world and it's systems of religion.......

We are constantly hearing that Islam is the world’s, fastest growing religion. This is obviously just propaganda, because in actual fact Christianity is by far the fastest growing. We know that decent and moderate Muslims are increasingly sickened by the militant face of Islam and the hate filled 'holy war' agenda.
This has already resulted in the mass conversion of 2 million Russian Muslims to Christianity, and many other conversions elsewhere,
So in the light of this evidence has Islam now become the world’s most rapidly declining religion?

So there's this chruch I have been visting to. I am thinking of becoming a member but it's a mormon chruch. I have no problem with that at all only the four rules that are bugging me. 1. Can't date until your sixteen. 2. Can't go to dances unless fourteen. 3. Can't drink coffee. 4. No Swearing. Number three is easy to stop but I really LOVE starbucks. Number one and two I have always been aloud to do there wasn't a rule of the age I needed to be. Number four would be hard to quit but I could try. No one's perfect right?? But my question is do you think I should join or not??

Why do we disrespect each other's religion and culture? Why do we have to be offencive to prove "My Religion is Best"?

This place gives us freedom of speech. That certainly does not mean that we are eligible to fume at different religions. I always see posts about marry magdalene and other Dan Brown stuff, Idol gods, muslims jews no one is spared.

I'm a Hindu. And i loved Da Vinci Code just as thriller FILM. I'm not going to believe a single in this film. Because how can i trust him as i don't know much about christianity. But liking the film does not make me a anti-christian. As i also liked Gladiator. This also does not make a follower of roman religion of that era.

I pray to Shiva at the same time i pray to Jesus Christ and Allah as well. There are different names. Whatever we call him. God is One.

What do you think?

were received - the mom didn't get hers. They were for Christmas gifts that I opened in front of them, so I thanked them in person, but I thought it'd be nice to send thoughtful thank-you cards as well. My boyfriend called me and asked, "how many cards did you send to my house?" I said of course 3, which is when he told me that his mom didn't get one. I was quite upset about this, because I sent them at the same time/same place, and also that they would even think I would send cards to 2 of 3 members of the family. I put a lot of thought and time into them, and my bf didn't mention whether the ones that were received were liked. The question is, do I send his mom another card, or do I just call her and thank on the phone, reiterating that I sent a card to her?

why do people say that they hate the french because the french didn't help us in iraq or that they are ungrateful for our saving their cheese eating asses from hitler?

why don't people look back in history and realize that this country only exists because the french sent $$$ and their army to help fight against the british.

why do we hate the french for having the opinion of not going into iraq the way we did. after all, THEY WERE NOT THE ONLY POWERHOUSE that disagreed with us. if they were, we wouldn't have to send all of our troops to iraq.

why do we hate them when even now that we sit in this quagmire and our eyes are open to bush and iraq, the french are not waving their finger saying 'i told you so.' we would be. in fact, we would be saying 'show me the bombs of mass destruction!'

why do we say they are impotent when the world sees us as being the bad guys and the world backs them up?

vive america, but why are we ignorant to history and world issues unlike europeans?

Not unless you convert. Are we just kidding ourselves? According to verses like the ones below the extremists consider themselves to be right in their ways. Any Muslim scholars are welcome to clarify these verses and others.

[3.28] Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends rather than believers; and whoever does this, he shall have nothing of (the guardianship of) Allah, but you should guard yourselves against them, guarding carefully; and Allah makes you cautious of (retribution from) Himself; and to Allah is the eventual coming.

[9.123] O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil).

[25.52] So do not follow the unbelievers, and strive against them a mighty striving with it.

[33.1] O Prophet! be careful of (your duty to) Allah and do not comply with (the wishes of) the unbelievers and the hypocrites; surely Allah is Knowing, Wise;
