Lion's Gate is where 40 years ago the Israeli soldiers broke through to recapture the city. Today, there is a new battle raging for Jerusalem. But it's not being fought with soldiers and tanks.

For most Arab Muslims, the loss of Jerusalem was a tragedy. And when they lost on the battlefield.

Today, some Israeli Arabs such as sheik Raed Salah demand that Muslims take back Jerusalem, by force if necessary.

But most Israeli leaders promise to keep Jerusalem undivided and under the flag of Israel.
Lambert believes that in light of prophecy, Israel's retaking of Jerusalem was a major event.

"Forty years is generally accepted as a biblical generation. We have had 40 years and Jerusalem is still in the hands of the Jewish people," Lambert said. "Now there's going to be an enormous battle and conflict and strife over this and the prophet Zechariah says it. He says all nations will come against Israel, so what does that mean for you?

I don't know what to do or to handle this situation.
I'm 23 weeks pregnant, I have a boyfriend and we have been engaged for about 5 months. I want to be with him, but I also want to experiment with other women (Bi Curious). Well, he would totally disapprove of the whole situation, and if he ever found out about me being with anybody, even a woman, he would leave me. I just don't know how to handle this situation. I'd like to experiment with women after I've had my baby and all, but I don't want my boyfriend to break up with me because of it.

unpardonable sin?


Hint it has to do with forgiveness.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as the vast majority of the Bible and other religious works cannot be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt--and are therefore opinions-- then wouldn't most of our questions be considered chatting?

If that's the case, then who decides what is worthy of remaining in the forum, and what is to be deleted?

I feel that only the obscene or disrespectful posts should be removed, but I wouldn't object to no deletions at all.

After all, some people would be offended by wishes for a great day. So who decides?

the only reason people are good is because they get a reward of going to haeven. And if that was not enough to make them "good", if you are "bad", there is a threat of punishment, to burn in eternal hell. Does this mean that humans, without the threat of going to hell would not be good? Is being good only for selfish reasons, to later get a reward and go to heaven?? Isnt it a bit ridiculous that it takes "God" to promiss such things just for us to be good? Does that mean that if "God" did not promis people a reward for good and a punishment for bad, all believers would be murderers and horrible people?

It seems to me, that nowadays religion among the Hollywood crowd, has become less about what it can do for you spiritually and more about what it can do for you in your career and social life. I see more and more "players" in the Hollywood scene "jumping on bandwagons" simply because another celebrity with a higher status is doing it. I am not trying to single out Scientology, but this IS the one that I am thinking of. What is your opinion?

You have to have a priest to say mass and you will go to hell if you don't go to mass. Job insurance? or a real calling from God? What is the right answer? Why can't a lay person say mass? Why can't a mother priest?

Seriously. I have witnessed miracles, recieved answers to my prayers, God has brought someone back to life at my church. They still don't believe. Wouldn't they rather be saved anyway?

He attained so much sidhdhi that his feet were always above the ground as if he floated above the ground.But one day he left the service of his guruji and started accumulating his own followers. After some time he lost his feet and some disease of maggots got him. He was then seen begging for alms outside a temple.

What do you think caused his rise and then his downfall?
Do you think he had actually progressed in spirituality before his downfall?

Seems like dying was the ultimate "career move" for him. How could anyone characterize it as a sacrifice, when he went from a life of ordinary human misery to status as God's main man in the eternal bliss of heaven?
