Christianity and all its member groups (Jehovah's Witnesses, LDS, etc.) and Islam are based on the writings and teachings of the Hebrews (Jews). In fact, according to the texts that both Christianity and Islam are taken from, the Jews were the chosen people of the god of Abraham. Jesus even said that he came for the lost sheep of Israel, not the gentiles. How is it that gentiles have come to consider themselves the beloved of the god of Abraham?

ie Judaism claims the Jewish people received the Torah at Sinai, that the Exodus from Egypt occurred, that prophecy of people such Moses and Abraham occurred? How can one disprove the national history of another nation without postive proof to the contrary?

Roman Catholic politicians who support a proposed law allowing woman to have abortions in Mexico City should no longer receive communion.

The statement was issued by a Vatican spokesman, Rev. Federico Lombardi, and approved by Pope Benedict XVI.

My guess is that there was more plunder, murder and torture in the name of Christ than in the history of Pirating. What do you think?

(no racism intended) I understand that people can be racist and that it can be harder for black people, but i dont think that they would complain as much if they actually lived in africa, compared, america would be 20x better even with racism. It bothers me when black people insist on being called "african american" because in any second they will call a Caucasian person "a white boy" or "cracker". If black people really want to be called "african american" then i expect to be called "irish, german,french morrocan, cherokee,british american"??

Doesn't that make the Father a body; as he'll have a right side?? Jesus is depicted as sitting on the right side of the Father (on the Throne) in churches...why?? If you wanted to incarnate God or the Father, why don't you draw Jesus?? Wasn't he the incarnation of God??! Or are you worshipping two or even three gods??!!

It should be noted that the Father is depicted as an old man with a long white beard...why???! Isn't that a false incarnation as you believe only Jesus to be God Incarnate???!

Why do popes and other clerics approve such drawings??? hy do they approve such fasle sayings??? How will Jesus sit on the Father's right hand when only Jesus is God Incarnate??
Or do you also believe that the Father is a body???

Ok, there is still no terrorist attack in the U.S resulting in up to a million people like he said god told him there would be.\

Now , according to the bible "gods word doesn't return unto him void" so if it doesn't happen can't we right him off as a liar and a false prophet right?

or the alternative people stop believing in god

Even God him self "the impossible God" the one who claims ALL things are possible(now a lier) can not, HE CAN not change my sinfull nature. This is somthing God CAN NOT do. God is to weak to make me as rigthous as him. God does not know how to teach his rigtous spirit on me. God can not walk me in rightousness. Show me God can not make a man perfect. Can you show me this in the bible?

I do think it did, because Bible-fundamentalism has promoted exlusionist ideas. people who are not Bible-fundamentalists will be sent to hell just because they are not Bible-fundamentalists, even if those non-Bible-fundamentalists are good it wouldn't matter to God just because they are not Bible-fundamentalists. I could go on and on with the Bible-fundamentalists' absurd ideas, but I know that people know what I'm talking about.

I have noticed people in wheelchairs get pissed if you try to help them, and pissed off if you don't.

What gives? Is there a small % of people in wheelchairs who are mad at their situation or the world?

"16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."

Many people state that this refers to the gentiles. Does Christ ever refer to the gentiles as His Sheep? "Sheep" always refers to The House of Israel.

(For further info, see John 10:6; Matt. 15:24)

A problem will arise here, however with interpretation. For me, the matter is settled when Christ said to the people here on this continent, "And verily I say unto you, that ye are they of whom I said: Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd." He also said, "AND verily, verily, I say unto you that I have other sheep, which are not of this land, neither of the land of Jerusalem, neither in any parts of that land round about whither I have been to minister."

What do you believe? Gentiles or not?
