1JUDE, A servant of Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and brother of James, [writes this letter] to those who are called (chosen), dearly loved by God the Father and separated (set apart) and kept for Jesus Christ:

2May mercy, [soul] peace, and love be multiplied to you.

3Beloved, my whole concern was to write to you in regard to our common salvation. [But] I found it necessary and was impelled to write you and urgently appeal to and exhort [you] to contend for the faith which was once for all [a]handed down to the saints [the faith which is that sum of Christian belief which was delivered [b]verbally to the holy people of God].

There's probably no better way to turn OFF a non-Christian.

(Affirmation or opinions on that by non-Christians are invited, herein.)

So to those Christians who feel inclined to proselytize, may I suggest that you leave some tracts lying around, instead, that exemplify the love God showed us via the sacrifice of His Son for our sins, so that we could all have eternal life with Him?

People can either take or leave those tracts. And if God wants someone to come to Him, He can guide the person to pick one up, read it, and take it to heart. Don't you think that would be a FAR better way to do it? Rather than to verbally rub "eternity" in non-believers' faces.

i realize this question might be a bit of a mature nature, but it deserves some asking. if you do believe we were designed by god, how do you explain nocturnal emissions? it's what happens to the body when males have an excess amount of semen. why would god design us like this? is it so he can get a good laugh every now and then? it's like is he sitting up there in heaven saying to people, "watch this. if this guy does anything to release the excess semen he's sinning. if he doesn't, he's gonna end up dreaming about sex and it's gonna release anyway!!! hahahahahahahahaahhaha...."

of GOD down our throats to turn around and say *There is no GOD?
Maybe for you their is no GOD, you live on the planet do your thing then die, turn to dirt end of your for eternity OKAY- that is fine for you and your beliefs HOWEVER every person who believes in GOD does not see there destiny as you see it and absoloutely does not see the end like you..

So is it fair to say Atheists are ultimatley turning to dirt and Believers are going to the White Light in the presence of GOD by both standards of belief?
Aren't these both true based upon each groups truth and reality?

Joe Muslim is born into Islam thinking that Allah took Mohammed on a magic chariot ride through the sky. Better than that, he KNOWS it is true. Joe Muslim thinks that Christians are simple-minded to think that Jesus was the son of God and that the concept of the trinity is too weird to be true. Joe Muslim also thinks that John Mormon is ignorant to believe that Christ reappeared in South America because there is a lot of proof suggesting otherwise.

Jim Christian knows that Jesus is part of the trinity, and that John Mormon is lame to think that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are separate entities. He also thinks that Joe Muslim is violent at his core because he believes that when you suicide bomb someone, you go straight to heaven with 20 virgins.

John Mormon knows that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, and that the Muslim and other Christian people are being led astray. After all, who could believe in that weird Pope, or pray to the East without looking foolish?

And given that in the Modern Brythonic tongues (Breton, Cornish & Welsh) there is no "soft C" sound. Would It be fitting in ritual circumstances to pronounce the names of deities such as Cernunnos, Ceridwen, and Latinized deities such as Cocidius, Condatis & Clota with a "K" sound?
Even her in the Uk I`ve heard several pagans call upon "Seridwen".....

...when Christians can supposedly do whatever they want and all they have to do is ask god for forgiveness, and BAM!, everything the've ever done wrong, no matter how insane, hideous, or disgustingly sick, is wiped clean from their soul, and can get into heaven. Doesn't that sound a little too convienent? That means you can do whatever you want, right?

A song by Lafee Called Virus

Du bist alles und noch mehr
Ich vertraue dir so sehr
Du bist meine beste Freundin
War der Weg auch manchmal schwer
Wir sind füreinander da
Erzählen uns alles, ist doch klar
Und wenn du fix und fertig warst
War ich dir immer nah.

Und du nimmst ihn mir weg
Du kleines Stückchen Dreck
Du Schlampe bist so link
Dass es bis zur Hölle stinkt
Und du fragst auch noch dumm
Ob ich sauer bin-warum
Was soll-sein
Ich hau dir eine rein...

Refrain:
Ich wünsch dir einen Virus
Ich wünsch dir fiese Pickel ins Gesicht
Ich wünsch dir 'nen Bazillus
Und alles Schlechte nur für dich
Ich wünsch dir einen Virus
Ich wünsche dir die Krätze an den Hals
Ich wünsch dir 'nen Bazillus
Der dich hässlich macht und alt
Ich wünsch dir einen Virus...

Du warst der Einzige für mich
Doch jetzt hass ich dein Gesicht
Du hast mich komplett verarscht
Man, ich glaub das einfach nicht
Du hast mir so oft geschworen
Du wärst nur für mich geboren
Und jetzt steckst du ihr eiskalt
Deine Zunge in den Hals

Und sie nimmt dich mir weg
Das kleine Stückchen Dreck
Die Schlampe ist so link
Dass es bis zur Hölle stinkt
Und du fragst auch noch dumm
Ob ich sauer bin, warum
Was soll sein
Ich hau dir eine rein..

Refrain: (2x)

Ich wünsch dir einen... Virus
Ich wünsche dir fiese Pickel ins Gesicht
Ich wünsch dir nen Bazillus
und alles Schlechte nur für dich

Ich wünsch dir einen Virus
Ich wünsche dir die Krätze an den Hals
Ich wünsch dir nen Bazillus
Der dich hässlich macht und alt...
Ich wünsch dir einen Virus...

Ich wünsche dir die Krätze an den Hals
Ich wünsch dir nen Bazillus
der dich hässlich macht und alt...

would this be a sign on the Apostraphe? '

Next time Earth's magnetic field flips, compass needles will point South instead of North. But scientists can't say when it will occur, and until now they've disagreed on how long the transitions take.


Earth's magnetic field is thought to be generated deep inside the planet. An inner core of solid iron is surrounded by an outer core of molten iron. They rotate at different rates, and the interaction between the regions creates what scientists call a "hydromagnetic dynamo." It's something like an electric motor, and it generates a magnetic field akin to a giant bar magnet.

The process is not completely understood. In fact, one study suggests the planet's mantle, which surrounds the core, also plays a role.


Yet the intensity of the magnetic field has been dropping for the last 2,000 years, and "it has dropped significantly" during the past two decades.

Would you be willing to sacrifice yourself and go to hell for eternity if it meant the entire rest of the world would get to go to heaven?

Hypothetical question obviously. Really think about it before you answer. Thanks.

Out of the KING JAMES VERSION of the Holy Bible:

Exd 20:2 I [am] the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

Exd 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Exd 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God

----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you stipulate that the God of the Bible is ALWAYS TRUTHFUL, these statements demonstrate that there ARE OTHER GODS than the God of Israel. If these Gods did not exist, why would the Lord God of Israel have to state that He is a "jealous god"?

If OUR Gods do not exist, what REASON would there be for Him to be jealous?

I see a lot of Christians do this, they sin on a weekly basis on purpose and they say who cares if I sin I can just ask God for forgiveness. Doesn't that reasoning give them the liberty to do whatever they want without consequence?

If Noah's flood happened in the Mesopotamia area, then God is not familiar with other races other than Jews, and others that inhabited the Mesopotamia area.......................................................................

In life and death and as a Christian and millions of other's in the world who can hear GOD's voice, and power of the Holy Spirit in our lives we can see our destiny as GOD comes to us in Ouantum Theory: GOD, Science and Destiny, therefore many people of faith that have a NDE do come to that *BRIGHT LIGHT* which is GOD and for the Atheist who has predicted your destiny is why your brain says NO GOD because GOD does not come to you and in death with no GOD you predicted your eternal destination- DIrt ...
I suppose.

So Atheists do you feel you have already predicted your destiny? and are you okay with it?
