why didnt he create 500 at once and checked how many did obey him?
why dont we follow the bible and when a person is charged for a crime we send to prison (or death) his/her parents, partner, children, aunt, neighbours, and people living in the same city...
Exactly the same god did, punishing the whole humanity for the actions of 2 people

Okay, so I have a paper to write for history on the new testament that has to be 3-6 pages long! Any info would help... here's the questions that are supposed to be answered in the essay.
(please site your sources)

1.) What elements of society seem to be favored by Christ?

2.) How did Christ in Matthew chapter 5(the Bee attitudes) espouse a more moral standard than that represented in the opponents' view of the Mosaic Law?

3.) In his letter to the Romans, how did St.Paul view human nature?

4.) Do you feel these two passages present the same or a different viewpoint? and Why?

I have the research on this and I have read all the passages. I would just like some insight and maybe a different point of view. Like I said any information would be greatly appreciated!

Ok, I realize that this is a sore subject and that many people believe that the west is responsible for all of the problems in the world etc. However my question was not about the west or about how the west is affecting Muslims and Islam. Even if the west were to completly remove itself from all forgein affairs, the number of bombings would be drasticly reduced no doubt, but that still does not mean it would be removed from the Islamic midset as an unaccecptable form of action or responce. The question is very specific. From an internal stand-point, how do you make it unaccecptable, and even immoral, for a young Islamic man or woman to walk into a crowded street and blow themselves to pieces, killing as many people that they can. Is this going to take an Islamic revolution/reformation in order to do this?

I have two thoughts on this subject: 1) I believe those of us who have been born-again underestimated the power of the unseen evil forces inhabiting this world. I think we have a tendency sometimes to have a passive attitude towards evil, thinking that God will handle it. It is up to each believer in Jesus Christ to denounce heresy, beginning in one's hometown and writing to the elected officials. 2) Most of the people who are fighting to keep any reference to God out of the public are those who do not believe He exists. However, if they believe that God is just a myth, why are they so angry?

“What then shall we Christians do with this damned, rejected race of Jews?
First, their synagogues should be set on fire, and whatever does not burn up should be covered or spread over with dirt so that no one may ever be able to see a cinder or stone of it. And this ought to be done for the honour of God and of Christianity, in order that God may see that we are true Christians.
Secondly, their homes should be likewise broken down and destroyed.
Thirdly, they should be deprived of their prayerbooks and talmuds in which such idolatry, lies, cursing and blasphemy are taught.
Fourthly, their rabbis must be forbidden under threats of death to teach anymore.” – Martin Luther

“If I find a Jew to baptize, I shall lead him to the Elbe bridge, hang a stone around his neck, and push him into the water, baptizing him with the name of Avraham!.. I cannot convert the Jews. Our lord Christ did not succeed in doing so; but I can close their mouths so that there will be nothing for them to do but to lie upon the ground.” – Martin Luther

Jesus did not call them Abraham's children, but a "brood of vipers" [Matt. 3:7]. Oh, that was too insulting for the noble blood and race of Israel, and they declared, "He has a demon' [Matt 11:18]. Our Lord also calls them a "brood of vipers"; furthermore in John 8 [:39,44] he states: "If you were Abraham's children ye would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil. It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham's but the devil's children, nor can they bear to hear this today.------Martin Luther

They [rulers] must act like a good physician who, when gangrene has set in proceeds without mercy to cut, saw, and burn flesh, veins, bone, and marrow. Such a procedure must also be followed in this instance. Burn down their synagogues, forbid all that I enumerated earlier, force them to work, and deal harshly with them, as Moses did...
If this does not help we must drive them out like mad dogs.----Martin Luther

Martin Luther: [ in his last sermon, four days before he died, ] called for practical measures: burn their synagogues, confiscate all books in Hebrew, prohibit Jewish prayers, force them to do manual labour, and drive them out of Germany.

The other 15% are either agnostics, wiccans, vegans (whatever). Most cat lovers aren’t Jesus loving people. Isn't that the reason most atheists smell of tuna and kitty diahorrea? Yuk!

Christians, let’s start a campaign to ban cats before the world ends. We need to get the message out that cats are satanic and they are deliberately endangering our own world killing other small animals and shi tting in our backyards.
