I'm pro-life, but not Christian, and many people have told me that being Pro-Life is a Christian value. I can't find any passages in the Bible that say this. I know Jeremiah 1:5 is used by Christian pro-life people (though I see its in the OT). When reading that passage, I always thought it was saying that god knew your soul before he placed you in a body.

Being Pro-Life has been linked to Christianity commonly, but reading Hosea 9: 11-16, I am confused.

Are there Bible passages in either OT/NT that say abortion is wrong?
Why is being Pro-Life seen most commonly as a Christian value?

We had better prepare to see the worst times that this world has ever seen. In Mat 24 he is addressing believers. The scripture also states that there is a great falling away of the faith that takes place. The fire that is coming to try the world is the same fire that will purify the Body of Christ. The "rapture" and the raising of those who have died in Christ are an almost simultaneous event that will occur (at the last trumpet)at the return of Jesus to set up the millennial kingdom. Be prepared to endure until the end.
The "pretribulation rapture" teaching takes scripture out of context and is comforting to the flesh but we need to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church.

One last note - If I am wrong and we are taken out before tribulation, I will still be ready. If we have to go through it, will you be prepared?

It seems like a very homophobic policy in the military. I mean, shouldn't people be able to express teir sexual orientation without being persecuted for it? My question is, are there any redeeming qualities to this policy?

George and Moses

George W. Bush, in an airport lobby, noticed a man in a long flowing white robe with a long flowing white beard and flowing white hair. The man had a staff in one hand and some stone tablets under the other arm.

George W. approached the man and inquired, "Aren't you Moses."

The man ignored George W. and stared at the ceiling.

George W. positioned himself more directly in the man's view and asked again, "Aren't you Moses".

The man continued to peruse the ceiling.

George W. tugged at the man's sleeve and asked once again, "Aren't you Moses".

The man finally responded in an irritated voice, "Yes I am".

George W. asked him why he was so uppity and the man replied, "The last time a bush spoke to me I ended up spending forty years in the wilderness".


star so others can answer. :)

but why are there so many conflicts; can't all christians just accept that there can be open interpretations

Notice: Rant time

Let me start off by saying that I'm not an Atheist. I happen to believe that there is or was a greater force which created life as we know it but he is not active in our lives today; I don't think he looked like Kenny G either.

I live in Houston, Texas and hang out with plenty of Christians throughout my week. I'm amazed at how many of them have sex, drink and judge other people just in a given week. Then, they goto church on Sunday's and repent so they can feel like they have some sort of moral authority over their peers who may not believe in the same things they do. Then there are others who don't even goto church. Now I understand that going to church isn't a requirement, or is it? I'm not really sure. Anyway, if the person was so passionate about God and living a moral life, they would be in church on Sunday.

If it appears that I am lumping all Christians into this category, I apologize. It is not my intent.

most people have their religion chosen by their parents, is this a sound method? suppose your parents religion does not ;have God's approval, The Bible urges people to choose life, but before you can make an intelligent choice, don't you think you should question what your religion teaches?

Irresponsible? I would hope that some of you would think about the data presented surrounding global warming and ask what your contribution is. I believe I am one of the many responsible for what is happening now. No, I am not an atheist but I'm not Christian. Thoughts? Namaste

I lived in Europe for nearly 3 months on the Deutschland/Nederlands (Germany/Netherlands) border, and I was shocked at how much Europeans hate each other (maybe even more then they hate the U.S.). Every time I went to Nederlands, and explained I was a U.S. citizen living in Germany, the Dutch would **** a brick. "why do you live with those skinhead nazi *****"." Same with the Germans when I would say, No, I'm going into Nederlands today, "why would you want to go to see the Dutch? Who gives a **** about the Dutch". This attitude was prevalent towards any country. I would even go as far as to say that most Europeans seem to like Americans (although not our government) more then they like other Europeans. Is this all a legacy from WWI/WWII/The Cold War? I have lived in the D.C. area my whole life, so it is ridiculous to me that people from different cultures can't get along. So what is the basis for Europeans (in general, not limited to German/Dutch) distaste for one another?

I'm a Christian and although no man knows the day nor the hour , I think most of us agree that according to the Bible there's other things that must happen prior to His return .

But for the sake of thought and discussion. . . . . How Do You Think The People Of The World Would React If Jesus Came Back TOMORROW ?

If someone has a "stupid" name or goofy picture, do you take them less seriously?
Does the person's name or avatar picture have any affect at all on your response?
Or are you able to read the question and answer it objectively regardless or what the avatar is like?

Would you want to be warned if a hurricaine, a tornado or earthquake was about to strike???

Of course you would...
We develop warning systems to alert people a Storm is a comin'

When you warn people you save lives...

As a Californian I have heard forever the San Andreas is going to slip and a major earthquake on that fault could split California in half,,, When is it coming??? Don't know but it is coming..

So what is the difference? Is being warned the Storm of Prophecy is coming just when? not sure, but the signs are here just like signs in the ocean, in the earth and sky when calamity is coming about...

How about a Witness on this one??
