When I announced the death of my son nearly every christian came out to lecture me about Jesus.

Not one asked whether I was Christian.

Not one asked about my beliefs.

It seems they all thought this a good time to 'educate' me about Christianity.

But when I respond to these ham-fisted attempts to convert me, I'm told I'm too distraught and too upset to be speaking poorly of Christianity and those who tried to convert me.

So I'm upset enough for you to think this a good time to convert me, but too upset if I refuse to be converted?

Why must you insult those who are firm in their own beliefs and refuse to be converted by you?

Why must you insult those whose beliefs you trample during their time of grief?

Why do you seek to take advantage of grief to convert another, like vultures pecking at a wounded lion, yet run away when you discover the lion is not so wounded as to permit you to continue?

Why worship a god who drowned babies and butterflies (Genesis 6, 7)?

Please read this short article before answering: http://groups.msn.com/MysticForestofProtection/christianmagick.msnw

Personally, I completely agree with the author, but I am interested in what others think, and their response to this article. Please don't base your opinions solely on what is said in the bible. What do YOU think?

3 John 1:11
Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.

Those who are saved in Him should imitate what is GOOD- and Good is hard to distinguish with the world, for the world will view good as evil and evil as good- but those who are walking with the Lord are given spiritual discernment-- to know what is of God and what is not.
We are saved by His wonderful grace! (Ephesians 2:8) And the goodness in us is from Him. We should always imitate Him!

God says to come to Him- for only He can take your burdens and give you a wonderful peace within- the peace and JOY of His salvation! There is nothing greater than that!

For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish."

"Jesus Christ identified a first requirement when he said in prayer to his Father: 'This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you... Many have found the second requirement more difficult. It is to obey God's laws, yes, to conform one's life to the moral requirements set out in the Bible...A third requirement is that we be associated with God's channel, his organization...To receive everlasting life in the earthly Paradise we must identify that organization and serve God as part of it...The fourth requirement is connected with loyalty. God requires that prospective subjects of his kingdom support his government by loyally advocating his kingdom rule to others..." (four requirements for salvation as taught by the Watchtower magazine of Feb. 15, 1983, p. 12.

I find that hard to believe. I mean, the Bible is different from any other religious book. It has been written over a period of 1,600 years by over 40 different authors, a fact that sets it apart from other religious writings. Religious writings from other major world religions which claim to be divinely inspired, have indeed been written by, or based upon, the teaching of one person. It is easy for one person to invent a concept and for that concept to be reasonably consistent throughout, for the author only has his own imagination to contend with. But imagine the problems that would arise when dealing with 40 different authors. If it isn't authentic, you would get 40 different gods because each of those authors would have their own idea of the kind of god they want to invent. These authors, most of whom lived at different times in history, from different social backgrounds, and never met, yet all of them have written consistently about the character, nature, purposes and plans of God

Aren't those the only ways to avoid hell--slaughter livestock in the B.C. time, and worship Jesus in the A.D. time? I would think the neanderthals and early people might be too slow to understand Judaism and Christianity.

It is not in the Bible. Jesus is mentioned as a child when he is born and when he is presented in the Temple and then it just basically says he grew in strength and grace or something like that ( I don't have my Bible right in front of me) but, you do not hear about him again until he comes on the scene for his Ministry, so where is all the Scripture that talks about Jesus as a child?

We are in the beginning of :The Seventh Seal (Revelation 8:1-5), the beginning of the Seven Trumpets.
The Two Witnesses (Revelation 11:1-12), two powerful adversaries to the antichrist.
The First Trumpet (Revelation 8:7), a third of the earth is burned.-METEOR TO HIT EARTH
The Second Trumpet (Revelation 8:8-9), a third of sea life is destroyed.
The Third Trumpet (Revelation 8:10-11), a third of the water is poisoned.-HAPPENING NOW-Hundreds of dead or dying purple sea urchins have washed up into tide pools at a Southern California marine refuge center in recent days, but no one is certain what is killing them.
The Fourth Trumpet (Revelation 8:12-13), darkness on the earth.
The original "Vulcan, Comets and the Impending Catastrophe" paper indicates that Earth is periodically vulnerable to meteors/comets swarm strikes every 1,677 years.1 Long period comets, offering little warning time, may have struck Earth 5,000 and 11,600 years ago causing Noah's flood..Thoughts?

I have a girl that slept with my boyfriend, of 2 years, that I live with. He has broken it off with her and we have decided to stay together. She knew about me and knew that there were children in the relationship that think of him as a father. She didn’t care and tried everything she could to get him to stay with her. I really dislike this girl just because of the type of sleazy person she is, I’m told I should pray that good things happen to her, I would rather pray she fall off a cliff. I don’t understand the logic behind praying for her? I don’t want to pray for her much less even think about her. How is this going to even benefit me at all, when just thinking about her makes me so angry?
