At the same time slaves were praying to God for their freedom, their masters were thanking God for blessing them with slaves.

Who's prayers do you think God was more interested in granting.

Do you think he made up the 3/5ths thing as a compromise?

It seems like even within those who call themselves Christian there is a huge difference in doctrines and beliefs. I think that it is very confusing to those who ask questions when we all say "I am a Christian" and yet there is so many different theological things we hold to. Even right down to is Jesus the only way or not?

I am not trying to start a flaming/bashing session, I am just curious at to what is your definition of what a Christian is.

If you only want to insult Christians, please save it for another post, becuase I am not trying to put anyone down, just trying to understand.

It's not working because the drive to have sex becomes too great in the end and of course these people are not prepared resulting in unwanted teen pregnancies. Wouldn't it achieve better results to issue these teens with chastity devices instead of jewellery so that they cannot physically succumb to temptation even if their willpower is lacking...there are plenty of modern day devices available apparently? Chastity is a popular sexual fetish in itself and such devices can easily be ordered on the internet it is reported.

If you study with local Jews and Catholics and pagans, steal their ideas, and write a book, isn't that book esentially plagiarized?

was written by a bunch of men trying to fool us into believing in some fairy tale, so they could control everyone?

can you prove that it wasn't created for just this purpose?

and saying that god wrote the bible does not prove that he did?

a Soldiers Soul by:

A Soldier is not just a Woman or Man.
He is a Son, she is a daughter.
He is a boyfriend She is a girlfriend
He is a husband, She is a wife.
He is a brother,She is a sister.
He is a friend, She is a friend to someone.
aDont listen t those who say those Soldiers are thinking about this and that.
Know that Soldier is thinking and hoping they get back to "you"
Angel wings flake over the blood of the lost, and Gods passion is with all those Men and Women.
those at home, God knows your pain.
Know tragedy is a curse as well as a blessing it kills us but makes us stronger.
It is said Time is done. Now only remains the test of love.
Keep all your trust and Love in God and even if your loved one does not make it. God promises you stay true to him you will see them again. for the love of God is foreverand his love goes with those who believe in him.
Remember war tears apart butShows us the valueof each other and shows us how much we care for one another.

The U.S. Army will investigate charges that five American soldiers were involved in the killings of four Iraqi relatives, including a woman who had been raped, military officials said Friday. It's the sixth current inquiry into the alleged slayings of Iraqi civilians by American troops.

that people automatically assume that because we are Christian, we are totally closed off to science. I have read too many times in here where people lash out at Christians because they do not believe in evolution... but wait... I'm Christian, and I completely believe in evolution as to what science has given us so far on the theory.

Any thoughts?

(Also, we all need to remember that evolution is a THEORY, it has not been fully proven...)

I've got a feeling that I'm going to push some buttons with this... but it just had to be said!!

...read their Arabic Bibles and say Isa ibn Allah; Jesus son of Allah/God. How does that make you feel? They wear turbans and ride camels too. They have been Christian longer than any of your ancestors. Jesus, Isa is one of the most common Muslim names; also Mahsi, Messiah. Do you feel narrow minded yet? Now do you believe people that say Christians don't research other faiths and are blind followers? Christianity started in the Middle East. Also, just another question, if prophet Jesus is God, how could he die? If he is God and he died, who brought him back to life? Doesn't existence depend on God, and if He died, how did existence continue to exist? He didn't have a father and was of the spirit, prophet Adam didn't have a mother either and was of the spirit. Prophet Moses brought an inanimate object to life into a snake, so prophet Jesus brought a previously live person back to life, which more miraculous? What about the prophesies of Islam in the Bible? Intelligently..

Do you really believe that Jesus is Michael the Archangel? If you don't then why is this a common belief about JW's? And if you do can you provide scripture that supports this?

OH, and for all of the people that want to insult me, I am not trying to be judgmental, this is a serious question.

They look pretty sinful to me...... Isn't that what God would want us to do? Probably we should try to cover all animals with clothes, since they are having sex without the sanctity of marriage. Do you agree?

Where does God fit in your plans, if you don't believe in God just feel free to skip that part of the question.
