But when they talk of other races who are not white, the other races get a special title like Blacks = African, Browns= Mexicans or Latinos, Yellows= Asians, Reds= Indians. Should the "whites" play this game to? Germans, Russians, English, Italian, Greek, the list goes on.

After the resurrection when Jesus appeared to Thomas, Thomas called Jesus God. If Jesus is not God why didn't He correct Him?

What % of Christians would fully accept that immediately as authoritative? What % in 50 years? What % in 300 years?
What % in 1000 years ? We will assume normal human progress and no new special Incarnate visitations here by Sons of God to speed things up in that time period.

The spiritual test of this would be He the Spirit of Truth Who leads us into all Truth -- Jesus Christ here in Spirit. See John 16:7-16

In the following verses it is clear that the Jews thought He was claiming to be God. I mean He even said He and the Father are one.

John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Joh 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Joh 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
Joh 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

It's an extreme "what if" but if basic life just began to "stop" for no explainable, scientific reason - photosynthesis ceased, bacteria started to die, etc - seeing as how this would foreshadow the death of all higher forms of life, would you even consider for a second that it might be some "higher power" at work, and consider praying with the theists... just for the hell of it?
(note: I'm an atheist, and I'm just curious)

A guy knocked on my door one evening and said he was collecting doations for our local volunteer fire department. He was not in a uniform nor did he have anythnig that would identify him as a volunteer firefighter. I was being cautious so I told him I had no cash on hand but could I mail in a check in to the department. He told me no, that they "are not set up for that." So I told him that I wouldn't donate and he left. So my questions are would the VFD send a plain clothes person out to collect door to door? And also, could it be possible that the VFD would reject a donation sent in by mail? I just find that hard to believe and I'm wondering if this guy was a scammer.

Do we have to wake up early? Doesnt that kind of contradict the whole "day of rest" thingy?

Or the so-called “leading of the holy Spirit?” Hasn’t this led to crazy interpretations, the justification of slavery and the holocaust, prejudices, 30,000 Christian denominations and the disunity of Christendom? Not to mention cults led by people like Jim Jones and David Koresh who tell their followers to commit suicide? Is this Christ’s way of uniting Christians following his prayer for all of us to be one? I certainly don’t think so.

Jesus prayed that His followers would be ONE.
"that they may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us..." (John 17:21)

St. Paul emphasizes that all followers of Jesus Christ should be ONE.
"Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement." (1 Cor 1:10)

Why can’t Fundamentalists, Evangelicals and Pentecostals realize that when we bash each other we are effectively bashing Christianity? We have chosen different paths towards the kingdom of God. Why can’t we just walk the path we have chosen and let the other believers follow theirs for the sake of Christianity?

Your honest, prayerful, and ‘Christian’ opinion will be highly appreciated.
