Society & Culture - 17 October 2007

Here in Los Angeles, I remember there being blacks versus Mexican riots in schools back in 90s and these things are still going on. I'm also hearing about Mexican gangs that drive around looking for blacks to murder, some of them not even being gang members. It seems to me that it is never blacks that are starting these fights. I don't know what it is, but is seems like many Mexicans are just racist(sometimes violently racist) against blacks. Blacks have no history of oppressing Mexicans or denying them rights or anything. Yet there is this hate driving some Mexicans gangs to go killing blacks for no reason. And from what I hear, racist attitudes towards blacks are pretty much the norm even among Mexicans not involved in gangs. Where does this hate come from? Because from what I see, it doesn't seem like blacks are doing anything to Mexicans.

trust me when I tell you that you really look like fools when you accuse protestants of being mean to you by questioning your exclusivity...does this bother you?

Once again It seems there is "new light". I wonder if they will have to change the masthead again?
"Most important, this magazine builds confidence in the Creator's promise of a peaceful and secure new world before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away" changed to "...new world that is about to replace the present wicked, lawless system of things."

Why can you not disagree with a leadership that has shown themselves wrong or changed their minds of what God has said to them about understanding the "deep things of God"?
I asked a similar question and no one answered it. I received alot of information and some comments by a rather rude person about being students, but if you are being lead by students - What confidence can you put in the judgment of such persons? If they are students why must you follow them as though they are prophets?
If you just want to lecture - Don't write anything you are unsure of - I have read the things I state.

I find Christians odd. They say that everything is a sin and yet they still do it. Cussing is a sin they do it, hating is a sin they do it, stealing is a sin they do it, adultery is a sin they do it. Then you justify it by saying your still going to "heaven" because you have a relationship with "God" and you asked him to forgive you. Really that's all it takes? So I can do anything and ask god's forgiveness and all is okay? That doesn't make sense. I could kill somebody and be forgiven then go to heaven. I don't find that fair that killers could be chillin with god. Don't say that "oh no killing isn't forgiven" but how would you know? Do you get to pick and choose what god forgives?

The nay sayers and the atheists are out to get him. They want to crucify him because he runs a large and successful Christian College and ministry. He has been too successful in spreading the word of God.

They want to put a crown of thorns on his head and hang him from a cross just like Jesus.

Jesus is the only way to avoid Hell. We have all sinned in the past. We continue to sin in the present and we will do likewise in the future.

The Bible clearly states that only Christians can get into Heaven as they are clean. They have accepted the sacrifice of Jesus so their sins are wiped clean.

Open your heart. Let yourself feel the Holy Spirit. The power of God will let you know Jesus is the only way.

We all deserve Hell, but God so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that if we believe in Jesus, we will be saved from Hell.

I know most of the people who click on here will not have accepted Jesus into their hearts, but I hope I have given you something to think about. I do not want you to go to Hell. I care about you. Open your heart to Jesus.

Jesus is the only way. Agree?

Couldn't find the law enforcement section. So i decided to post where I am most aquainted with.

When you know someone is having a physical relationship with a minor how do you go about going to the police. Does this include kissing and stuff w/out getting in bed w/each other? Do you have to have witnesses/evidence?

He is 17 (which is still a minor) and she is 19.

So I'm preparing to do a video on youtube about whether Mormonism is Biblical. I do want to make sure I don't leave anything out though- so far I plan on mentioning the following
1. The gospel changing (blacks in the priesthood and polygamy)
2. Priesthood authority and laying on of hands
3. Eternal Families
4. Pre-existence
5. Continuing prophets
6. Continuing scripture (open canon)
7. A restoration to Christ's Church
8. Temples
9. Jesus as a created being (and Satan's brother)
10. Jesus to visit the americas
11. Women teaching in church
12. Man becoming God
13. 3 heavens
14. The apostasy of Christ's church
15. Gift of the Holy Ghost given after baptism
16. Baptism essential for salvation
17. Man able to see God
18. Baptism for the dead
19. 3 Seperate Gods
20. God the Father, and Christ have bodies
Whew..... so... question is, did I miss anything? Or is there anything else I should cover?
P.S. Check out my other video called Are Mormons Christian?

Are you grieving or quenching the person of the Holy Spirit when you deny the truth of God's word and believe traditions that are in opposition to Scripture.
The Spirit’s presence within us enables us to understand and interpret the Word. Jesus told His disciples “when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). He reveals to our minds the whole counsel of God as it relates to worship, doctrine, and Christian living. He is the ultimate guide, going before, leading the way, removing obstructions, opening the understanding, and making all things plain and clear.

I don't understand why would jesus die for your sins? Does that make a killer and serial rapist doesn't have any sins at all? Which wil eventually go to heaven because jesus already die for their sins? Sorry if i offend anyone, i'm not a christian, a muslim actually. Just want to get the facts right.

The whole argument goes something like this: If the Big Bang is true then there had to be an eternity of time before the Big Bang took place. There had to be an eternity of time because time as we know cannot exist without matter. Since God is outside and beyond the space-time continuum He is not bound by it. Therefore, He could've created the universe even though there was an eternity of time before the universe was created.

I'm not sure if I got the whole argument correct. But I can already see flaws in it.

What flaws can you see in the argument, atheists? Can you approve upon the argument, theists?

The Bible is clear that God hates everyone who violates his commandments. He is just and he will punish the wicked.

Anyone who believes that God loves everyone does not know God. In fact, God hates these people, and will burn them all in Hell.
