On my father's (and some on my mother's) side of the family there's a lot of relatives and it seems like half of them are disabled in some way (but in various ways), from observing, I've noticed depression, learning disabilities, mental retardation, speech impediments, morbid obesity, breathing, and various medical problems run in my family. Can a learning disability (even the nogenetic types) be genetic in a family tree?

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

"Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee." (Revelation 3:9)

Here Jesus says the real Jews are his followers and the disbelievers are NOT THE REAL JEWS.

Jesus also promises the believers, who are now called CHRISTIANS, that the disbelievers, who are now called JEWS, will always be under their feet as a symbol that Jesus Loves THEM.


--------------

"And the founder of Christianity made no secret indeed of his estimation of the Jewish people. When He found it necessary, He drove those enemies of the human race out of the Temple of God. ---- Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf, pp.174

Hitler stated: "Christ was the greatest early fighter in the battle against the world enemy, the Jews . . . The work that Christ started but could not finish, I--Adolf Hitler--will conclude."

"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."
Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Ralph Mannheim, ed., p. 65, New York: Mariner Books, 1999

“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

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.



Was the HOLOCAUST a sign of the "LOVE" of Jesus for HIS people over the Jewish "wolves" ?????

“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves." -- Matthew 10:16

or one person who ( God almighty who is Jesus Christ) ?

JWs translate this verse in such a way as to make it appear that two persons are in view - the "great God" ( the Father) and the " Savior " ( Jesus Christ ). They argue that this verse "clearly differentiates between ( God ) and Jesus Christ, the one through whom God provides the salvation. " ( Reasoning from the Scriptures 1089, 421

I'm not making a threat of violence with this, because that's illegal. I am just curious to see how people would react if they spontaneously combusted or were abducted by aliens or something--all just POOF and gone at once!

Would you miss them? What would you do if this happened to them?

I feel like I've had this false premise that christians should be above certain "worldly" attributes like greed, prejudice or what not, but I'm again and again saddened by the contrary. If fact, I sometimes want to step back into my own solitude just to escape the company of christians because of this overdriving false-ness. Does anyone else experience this? Or feel this way?

Every year, millions of shoe boxes filled with basic things (pencils, paper, soap, toothbrushes, etc.) are sent throughout the world to children.

I got involved a few years ago and got totally addicted! Collecting items all year is so fun, coming up with unique and useful things to send the children.

If you've never heard of this, or have and want more information, please do yourself (and a needy child) a favor, log on to Samaritans Purse's website; www.samaritanspurse.org today and check it out!

Make a child's day...

Collection begins November 12th and ends November 19th.
