Israel's location at the meeting point of Europe, Asia and Africa, is a crossroad for the migrations of tens of millions of birds, such as the white storks.The migratory air-lanes over Israel lead south to Africa in the fall and back north to Europe and Asia in the spring. Thus the country is the best spot in the world to observe this unique natural phenomenon.
VULTURES -- BIRDS THAT FEED ON CARRION -- ARE SUDDENLY INCREASING DRAMATICALLY IN ISRAEL -Prophetic Scriptures assign a very important function to the fowls of the air who feast primarily on carrion, like vultures, after Jesus has slaughtered untold millions of the army of Antichrist.
Bible says that Jesus shall simply say one word and they shall all fall slain. The unsaved world has recreated what the Battle of Armageddon really is, teaching that it is a final battle fought between the mighty nations of the earth at the very End of the Age.

i dont know how to start , but i will give it my best shot to make it clear , please dont judge ,make assumptions , or insult me.Something has been going on inside of me lately.Its deep!
i remember when i was 15 i kept two different diary's.One for the ordinary events , and other where i put all my spiritual insights , thoughts and teachings from the bible since i was a Christian back then.Becoming a nun first went into my mind , when i realized that whatever i had to experience in the real world will never satisfy me , since i am someone who needs great spiritual satisfaction first than any other satisfaction , and at the same time gods will working through me , and helping other people sounds a lot better to me than "living in the world"
but lately Christianity is not doing it for me .too much of a dogma! but with buddhism i have been experiencing the deepness and richness i have always wanted in my spiritual life , but its not enough , now at 19 i still want to become a nun , a buddhist nun, but i was cheking the local monastery and they dont allow women?
what do i do ? i feel gods call and i wanna answer.I dont care or feel like my life depends or that i need a
guy, parties or whatnot.i am a virgin and do not desire to marry or have children.....what do
i do ?

90% of the population was gay; 10% was straight, how different do you think the world would be? Would straight people be looked down upon? Would there be less wars, or would the world be the same? What do you think? People are people, right?

Many beliefs say that God is one, but we are not saying God isn't one, if we look at ourselves are we not made of three "things",mind, body and spirit, so just as we are made in the image of God, God is the Father(The Mind) Jesus(Body). Holy Spirit(Spirit). God Bless.

I've heard it said that those who convert are looking for God, whereas those who just follow the religion they inherited might not be. it makes sense in a way..

It seems that whenever a person PROVES just how absurd it is to seek to *force* girls and women to gestate UNwanted pregnancies to term against their will...

... or how mindless it is to oppose legalizing same-sex marriage, since nothing could possibly be more HARMLESS than same-sex marriage...

...the loony-tunes of the pseudo-Religious Radical Right (the RRR Cult) stridently go wild over that, trying to defend their stance on those issues -- but they NEVER can back those stances with solid FACTS.

SO -- is drawing them out like that so everyone can see the absurdity of those hateful and selfish agendas one of the very BEST ways to *undo* the RRR? And ultimately relegate its loathsome anti-personal-liberties agendas to extinction, to join their first cousin in bigotry -- segregation?

After all, it's the SAME level of bigotry that infested America 50 years ago. Only the TARGETS are different. Blacks then... and women & gays now. The mindlessness and ignorance continue...

I believe Jesus is the way, the truth and in our lives there is one winner and many losers, its almost like a race, but God(Father, Son, Holy Spirit) had his people already at the finish line waiting for the prize(Mansions in Heaven), while the other beliefs are still trying to find who God is.

Does anyone have any reputable sources for these? Because I fear that some of us atheists are falling into the trap of taking things on faith without evidence.

According to the Bible Hell is forever and ever... It says that people in Hell will be tormented in the presence of Jesus for ever and ever! (Rev 14:10-11) Will there be a new Hell replacing the old one? Will the change take place in the twinkling of an eye, too?

Yes, I know I posted on seniors because I am one. I wanted to know what seniors think about this new movie that is supposedly "anti-Christian." I have already received two emails about it. The shows stars Nicole Kidman and the trailer looks good, but it is being said it is far more damaging than Harry Potter. I don't understand the whole concept. It is a fantasy movie.

Please share you opinions if you have heard of anyone mentioning this movie. The author is supposedly an atheist. That is all I know, so I am not giving any advice; just wondering what you have heard.

for the Lord? I mean why worry about things like "you dont HAVE to go to Church" when you should be thinking about how much you can do for the Lord and what a priviledge it is to want to go to Church.

In other words why be happy with a bare minimum of worship---why not turn out for ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES and incense too with the Catholic Mass?

Why not about Jesus Christ and His unveiling.?
As we watch Jesus return in all His glory we see the climax of human history unfolded in Revelation 19. The purpose of God long hidden, is now made clear as Jesus steps back into history.

Isaiah 46:10; Revelation 16:16; Revelation 19:11-19-
After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting:
"Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
If every person on earth will be able to see Jesus Coming back to earth, how do you see that view playing out?
