I go to church on Sundays, and our church offers communion in the form of communion wafers. Other churches I have been to use matzo crackers or even bread. When I was little, I used to think the wafers were made of paper, because that's what they taste like!
I know that the wafers are supposed to represent "the Body of Christ," but I was wondering if anybody knew exactly what communion wafers are made of. If you think about it, there is probably a factory somewhere in America where they make communion wafers! So, any information on the ingredients or the make-up of communion wafers would be most helpful.

1 The story goes that an Arab named Khalid was tending his goats in the Kaffa region of southern Ethiopia, when he noticed his animals became livelier after eating a certain berry. He boiled the berries to make the first coffee. Certainly the first record of the drink is of beans exported from Ethiopia to Yemen where Sufis drank it to stay awake all night to pray on special occasions. By the late 15th century it had arrived in Mecca and Turkey from where it made its way to Venice in 1645. It was brought to England in 1650 by a Turk named Pasqua Rosee who opened the first coffee house in Lombard Street in London. The Arabic qahwa became the Turkish kahve then the Italian caffé and then English coffee.
2 The ancient Greeks thought our eyes emitted rays, like a laser, which enabled us to see. The first person to realise that light enters the eye, rather than leaving it, was the 10th-century Muslim mathematician, astronomer and physicist Ibn al-Haitham. www.1001inventions.com

Why does god have different names in different world-religions (aka Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah, etc.) while many
Archangels (e.g. Michael, Gabriel, etc.) have the same name in all of the above religions (and also the same function). If god, as he claims in all these religions is One, why does he opt for different names in scriptures, while there is no difference of naming for the Archangels in the same scriptures?

Why is it that the bulk of Christendom are filled with so much hate, always try to ram their religion down the throat of the Athiests and a total and utter hate for the Moslems, and they hide behind the curtain of "Jesus is love, he died for your sins"
And verses and verses are quated obscurley that does not befit the question, hey guys the Bible is a Eastern Book that is viewed through Greek and Roman glasses, which the West do not understand Eastern metaphors and simmiles, just like in the Old Testament and further in the Gospels.
The masses of Christians mis intrepret and use it against other nations of the world, kill maim, conquer divide and rule, that is the foot print of Christian teaching.
All I see in that religion is pure hate for other nations, before I get all those thumbs down just think about what has happend in the last 2000 years, how much blood has been spilt in the name of Jesus?

In Genesis God caused the flood because of great sin. After the Great flood God said it would never destroy man again. The Bible closes with Revalations, which is all about finall judgement and once again destroying the unsaved humans and the world because of sin.

Deuteronomy
2.Kill everyone who has religious beliefs that are different from your own. 17:2-7
3.Anyone who will not listen to a priest or a judge must be executed. 17:12-13
4.Kill those of other faiths. 12:30
5. If your brother, son, daughter, wife, or friend tries to get you to worship another god, "thou shalt surely kill him, thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death." 13:6-10
6. If you have a "stubborn and rebellious son," then you and the other men in your neighborhood "shall stone him with stones that he die." 21:18-21
7. If a man marries, then decides that he hates his wife, he can claim she wasn't a virgin when they were married. If her father can't produce the "tokens of her virginity" (bloody sheets), then the woman is to be stoned to death at her father's doorstep. 22:13-21

Those who wrote the Bible obviously did not know or did not take into account the biological life sustaining requirements for 'Plants'. To have been flooded for such a long period of time with the combination of heavy salting from the oceans, it would have been impossible for much, if anything, to have survived. Nothing was said about Noah gathering up seeds and plants. No doubt, that would have overloaded his boat.

Jane Manning was an African-American woman from Nauvoo. In the Nauvoo pageant , the Mormon church shows her as so grateful to be taken care of by the Mormons. They did not show the part in church history where the family of Joseph Smith has her sealed to the family as a servant for eternity in a special ceremony allowed by the First Presidency of the church. (Black Saints in a White Church, pp. 40-41)
Do you think she is still glad the mormons took care of her, even now as, according to Mormonism, she will be the Smith family slave for eternity?

A man is in a bar and falling off his stool every couple of minutes. He is obviously drunk. So the bartender says to another man in the bar: "Why don't you be a good Samaritan and take him home."
The man takes the drunk out the door and to his car and he stumbles at least ten times. They drive along and the drunk points out his house to the man. He stops the car and the drunk stumbles up the steps to his house with the man.
The drunk's wife greets them at the door: "Why thank you for bringing him home for me, but where's his wheel chair?"

Are the South Korean captives in Afghanistan being celebrated as Christian martyrs? Though the concept of martyrdom has fallen out of favor in recent Christian history, most people acknowledge that the church is built on the blood of martyrs. Islamic martyrdom is alive and well. Is this a chance for Christians to return to an old tradition, against an old enemy?
