A local man is about to be charged with murdering his two Children. During a scheduled visitation he allegedly killed his two kids to get back at the mom. As a christian I am to forgive and not to judge. And should he repent, and accept salvation, he will go to heaven. I have a hard time with this, can you offer me some words/scripture to help me cope, as my intial reaction is one of anger.

ANother Strong Earthquake has Hit the 5th one..
What do you think this meanis if anything?
Seeing the powerful earthquakes such as the December 26th, 2004 event that triggered the tsunami disaster, people are looking for possible causes for the apparent instability of earth's crust. "End-times" alarmists and backyard researchers believe that the predicted imminent reversal of the earth's magnetic field may be a significant clue to these eschatological-scale events.

Scientists have been observing changes in the direction of earth's magnetic field which took place recently as well as in the distant past. NASA’s website features a map showing the gradual northward migration of the north magnetic pole in the past century and a half.
Possible energy ramifications of diminishing magnetic field. How long will it linger at zero before reversing? Written 2/2005

I look forward to having the animals roaming around free, being able to pet lions and other big cats. And I hope that I'll be able to learn to scuba dive so that I can study the sea life.

Matt 26:35

Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

And what do you think of these verses?

Matt 5:34-37

But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

I live in the Deleware area, and the judge let me off really easy, and said I have to find somewhere to do community service, where do you look for something like this, or who do you go to?
I asked the court, and they said to figure it out on my own?

I just read a question about some guy named Criss Angel, and then I looked him up. He walks on water! Seriously, just look him up and you can watch him walk on water! I think he really might be the messiah that was prophesied!

The news that sexual interest and activity doesn't wane with the years may have shocked the kids and grandkids, but there are knowing nods and a few grumbles among the senior set and those who work with them.
A study of the sex lives of 3,005 men and women ages 57-85, published in August in the New England Journal of Medicine, sparked talk about such frisky behavior by those old enough to know better

...then can anyone explain to me why God only delivered his message to a small community of goat herding nomads, rather than to the rest of the world?

Seriously - if God's message was so important and needed to be heard and followed, then why wasnt that message delivered to China at the same time? Why did it take 1600 years to reach the Americas? Does God simply have little compassion in his heart for Asians and Native Americans, and could have cared less when they received his message?

God allegedly created this earth and everything upon it. Was he not aware of those continents and the fact that his creation was living there? Why was one small area given his message and asked to spread it across the globe, when they didnt even know the globe existed at that time?

Any serious responses to this?

AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) is a spiritually based treatment program. It requires acknowledgement of a "higher power" however you concieve it to be. But, it requires that acknowledgement...

Do you believe it is fair for the court system to mandate a treatment program that is faith based?

Should a secular treatment program be mandated instead, for those in need of treatment who are not religious or spiritual??

Are they actually blood related? Also, why is he called "Prince" instead of "King". If they are married, aren't they "King and Queen"?

I often tell people that everybody has a different list of characteristics and even personality traits for god.
The only way that a group of people can agree is putting them all in the same room and someone talking about it from a pulpit of authority.
Saying that god manifests himself in people's minds in different ways is pretty much the same as saying that he's a creation of the mind of individuals.

And they come back with "Manifesting itself in different ways is exactly what I would expect of god. It just shows how great he is."

It annoys mee to no end.
It's grabbing what I say and turning it around in a such a way that they end up 'winning'.
And I can tell that their objective is to 'win' when I talk with them.

What do you say to these people?

The Watchtower, April 15, 1928

"Sometimes a member of a class will refuse to engage in the canvassing for the books because there are some mistakes in the books, and says his conscience will not permit him to put books in which there are mistakes into the hands of the people. Of course this is another method that the enemy adopts to confuse the minds and furnish an excuse for not being faithful to the Lord. As every one knows, there are mistakes in the Bible and there has never been a book written yet that is perfect that has been written by any human hand."

Or has new light prevailed

Thanks

1. All religions teach different thing (either christ is the savior or he isn't, the prophet Mo' is the last prophet or he is not)

2. Since all religions teach different things, they can't all be true.

3. If they can't all be true, then either;
A) One is right and all others are wrong.
B) They are all false (as in mythology)

4. If one religion is right and all others are wrong, then why is that not obvious to everyone. Wouldn't a TRUE religion have a great advantage of false religions (say the answering of prayers for example)

5. Therefore, if you cannot offer a really good argument as to why your religion contains a sacred truth that other religions do not have access too, or you admit that religion is just a modern form of mythology.

Can you do it? Can you prove that your religion is real? Why not?

Yet in defense of themselves claim they don't need it, as if use of logic was a common trait among us. If it isn't common, and perhaps just a gift, why claim others should use it?
