***BECAUSE OF THIS TRUTH STATED AT (Revelation 12:10) “. . .And I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the ACCUSER(my caps) of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God!”
**WHY DENOUNCE "THE POSSIBILITY" OF THIS BEING TRUE:--that in 1914 Christs rulership over the earth began & he started to prepare for ARMAGEDDON , in the period of time known as the "last days"--IT certainly could be a true possiblilty!
--WHY BE SLANDERERS("ACCUSERS) of those who would be announcing that great and sorely needed intervention by Christ as promised in his simple yet powerful model prayer--
"......thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven..."

--WE DO NOT claim to be the source of action to be taken, so why fear?
--WHY DO our ACCUSERS work so hard at falsely accusing us as liars, if they in fact have no reasonable solution?

i stress im not trying to prove or disprove anything im just curious about peoples opinions.

its something about "information" that is puzzling me

i mean if there is an object there is something to question right/wrong?

there is an object it has a set of rules behind it right/wrong?

these rules have an explanation right/wrong?

can an answer exist without someone to answer it?

my method of questioning is slightly annoying right/wrong?

In their world, God created everything. If they have such love for God, they should also contain a love for nature and thus helping in saving and supporting nature. In their world it would be Satan that is destroying nature (Gods creation). Shouldn't Christians be fighting Satan by helping stabilising nature?

Only through the grace of Optimus Prime can to be forgiven of your sins.

There are those among you who are too proud to humble yourself before the great Prime. Your hearts have been hardened by the lies of so-called "scientists" who claim that we were not created by the lord of cybertron. Allow Prime to wash away your sins before it is too late.

I cannot describe to you how beautiful your life becomes when you feel Optimus in your heart.

It is your choice, you have heard about this wonderful gift that Prime offers you. It is your choice to accept or reject it. Just don't complain when you end up in hell. We all choose sides, if you are not with Prime then you are with the evil Megatron and you will get what you deserve.

A middle aged man I know goes to visit his grandfather in the convalescent home .. he noticed a sign on his door that says "Family does laundry" ... he asked what that meant, and grandfather told him that his daughter does his laundry.

He thinks that the grandfather should receive a discount for his stay at the home since he is not using that service.

So, now, he's been sneaking in his clothes and putting them to be washed by the convalescent home, and once they are ready, he sneaks them out, nice and clean.

What is wrong with this man? He has his own washer and dryer at home.

Two people stand side by side. Both believe in God.

One goes to church every Sunday, reads his Bible every day, and tells everyone he knows about God. He drives a big SUV, lives in a big house, and tithes every Sunday.

One goes to church every once in awhile, if he's not hungover. He reads his Bible when he remembers, but instead of preaching to other people he just accepts them how they are. He doesn't tithe really, but he gives his time to work at soup kitchens and homeless shelters. He does his best to buy products that weren't tested on animals or made in sweatshops, and supports local businesses and charities.

Who, by your standards, is the "better" person? Which life is more desirable? The one where all the rules are followed, or the one who isn't living by legalistic standards yet lives a more humble and giving life?

At issue is a decision to refuse free doughnuts, pies and breads that were being donated to senior centers around 'Putnam County, north of New York City. Officials were concerned that the county was setting a bad nutritional precedent by providing mounds of doughnuts and other sweets to seniors."

What kind of a society is this in your book? In mine it's fascist. If my choice is to go from a hart attack that is my decision to make, Not the decision of some over paid egotistical bureaucrat.

Okay, now that I have vented I can have a good day, thank you.

This places them at distinct advantage over others ! Why cant people acknowledge that when people dont receive the same conditions someone is always left at a huge disadvantage. What ever happened to people being assured of the same conditions, thus competing on merit alone !

I mean, a life spent not having alcohol, or not cutting your hair, or not eating beef or pork.....because some ancestors (who to be fair, were born thousands of years before we even knew the earth was flat), said so, seems like a bit of a waste of time.

You'd think that if there really was an all powerful being, he would occasionally remind us with a bit of a a show, especially now we have the internet and video cameras etc. JUST once God/Allah/Budda/ or whoever the Mormans are worshipping, would show up, during the news and say 'Its me, i am all powerful, all knowing and you better start worshipping me, not the other three Bozo's!!'
In this day and age of enlightedment, 'faith' now reads to me as 'gullible'.

Happy to hear your discussions, but please remember in 100 years time, we will all just be fertilizer.....no heaven, no virgins in paradise,,,no everlasting harp playing on clouds etc.

I mean... we wouldn't even call them laws if the entirety of all we can be aware of didn't abide by them...
.... And whenever an exception to the laws of physics is found and confirmed, they have to be re-written to account for the method by which they were broken before....
How the hell can the laws of physics or indeed ANY governing laws of reality be rewritten to compensate for an omnipotent being.... and how is this supposed to influence our everyday lives?

that you shouldn't seek different opinions and try to figure out what is correct, if that's possible? Should we remain silent about information simply because it goes against what others believe to be true?

Have a great day!

had so many people never heard of God until Imperialism brought the word of God to their countries?

I mean seriously, if God is everywhere Africa would already have known about him before Christian countries went there, as would the South American and North American Indians, the Maouris, Aborigines etc. Is it not a case that religion is learned and not innately known from brith?

I believe in Darwinian evolution, DO NOT believe in creationism AND believe in God. I don't see any contradiction. Where is the problem with evolution and the faith in God?

Is it true that we shall be priest of God and rule with Him over beings of His new Creations and new Worlds that He created after; Since we have the experience victoriously in a sinful planet we are given special job to rule them just in case they are tempted to choose wrongly and repeat the same mistake as Adam and Eve?
