if it turns out that they need to fight to stop people from preaching to them?

Might seem like a weird question but I see atheist propaganda on the rise. Am just wondering if people realize (that in larger crowds) this can cause a division that would cause a civil war in a country.

like you are "in the loop"?
or like you are "in the know"?

or do you sometimes give your head a shake and wonder "what the heck what THAT all about"?

Have you read the article on the front page of yahoo?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20070823/wl_time/motherteresascrisisoffaith

I always thought Mother Theresa was close to God- that God does exist because at least a few have heard his voice. I assumed Mother Theresa heard his voice- but after reading the article I know that she did not.

People say that she was very close to God yet she says in her personal letters that she does not know if He is there.

Does this worry anyone? If someone so close to God does not feel Him, what does this mean? Has anyone ever heard God? Do you have proof he exists? I want him to be there badly.

This is more of a thought instead of a question.
I take special consideration to answer questions in this forum when I deem the asker is searching for true biblical answers to sincere questions.
Then I give very solid, unbiased biblical information to support my answer...and they are persuaded by the most sacriligious and blasphemous information that someone would have the nerve to type.
I do not take this personal...but I find it rather heartbreaking that people are so vulnerable to follow ideas that are so far from the truth. I know that the Bible says that these days would come, but I had no idea that the hearts of people would be so hard.
The Bible plainly states in 2 Timothy 3:7 "Ever learning, and never able to come to knowledge of the truth."
All I know is I will keep trying, and maybe just one person may come to know Christ. We are living in the last of the last days, and I have a true burden for the lost.
I would like to read some sincere thought on this.

As a former Christian I am familiar with Christian routines. We use to go to church every Friday and Sunday and hear our preacher preach about a dude call Jesus. The stories were very inspiring but they had no practical use in our modern day. Since, Jesus was the son of god we mortals can never become just like him. The other thing I had problem with Christianity is that it clams we can only truly find happiness through Jesus.

When I started to read Buddhist text I start to realize how naïve I was. True happiness only comes through deep insight meditation and through accepting yourself. Christianity tells us we are sinner but Buddha teaches us our true nature is pure, and that the concept of good and evil are mans creation. Buddha also tells us we are capable of, empathy, compassion, and love. Any one can reach this state through deep meditation and contemplation without worshiping any external figure.

I used a simple movie the Miracle on 34th Street to see the hidden meaning which is why GOD exsits
You can see that also in It's a Wonderful Life.....

The Core of life is *Family* bringing in human beings that contribute to the world knowing they are driven by the creator....

I think the most important thing in life is GOD, Family and Country

"Scientology considers the belief in a God or gods as something personal and therefore offers no specific dogma."

it means to bring The Church to a slow and silent death, since the communication with your god/s can be done home

"There are no particular human incarnations of God, as the universal life force (Theta) is inherent in all. All humans are immortal spiritual beings (thetans) capable of realizing a nearly godlike state through Scientology practices."

it means, no heaven, no hell, enjoy life right here right now.

"Salvation is achieved through the practices and techniques of Scientology, the ultimate goal of which is to realize one's true nature as an immortal spirit, a thetan."

the salvation, is the intermediate step we gotta take through Scientology, that would lead us to atheism in the long run.

You know? to me Scientology is a sincere attempt to destroy religion. Some people are too deep into it, and they need an in-between step. And that's exactly what Scientology is.

I've been told that today, you can determine whether someone is a "false prophet" by comparing their message to scripture. If it doesn't match up, they are a phony.

What about before the bible was written?

So Joel Osteen is on a national tour where you can pay $7.00 to $10.00 to see whatever it is he will do. Not an unreasonable price. But at humble as admission is, I'm sure there will be lucrative book sales, DVDs, and other materials that will grow his ministries and thus his bottom line. One clear goal of Osteen's tour is finacial growth.

So, if JC was around today in the US, and was going to give "The Sermon in Madison Square Garden", a modern day SOTM, how much would he charge?

How much would he charge for making a blind man see? Would Jesus undercut Benny Hinn's prices?
