Deuteronomy 12 If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,
13 Certain men, the children of Be'li-al, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;
14 then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;
15 thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.
16 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be a heap for ever; it shall not be built again.

And don't give me any of that 'god would never tell us this' nonsense. He's done it before.

Human beings wrote the bible but when you question some of the basic tenets, the answer is always you have to have faith. We cant prove its wrong and they cant prove its right. It came up in the pub last night. Is this the ultimate con?

What if I sincerely believe that the story of Jesus is made up, and that God became incarnate as a man named Frank, and that Frank was killed and that Frank is the savior of mankind.

If I pray to God in Frank's name, for some thing I lost to be found, say, I lost a pen, and I say God in Frank's name I pray, that I find my pen, and what if I find my pen. Did God answer my prayer, since I asked for it in Frank's name?

What if we statisically analyze prayers made in Franks name with those made in Jesus's name. Is it possible that they would be statisically about the same?

Why do anti-Islamists make their bigot remarks about Islam online? Is it safer, or is it Cowardice in plain sight?

If the "Crusade" to stop the "Islamic plague" is such an important mission, why not be active, do it in NYC or a bigger, LIVE stage, not the internet, behind your proxies.

I'm not condoning violence, but GROW SOME BALLS! At least have the guts to do this AROUND Muslims, don't do it online, where only about 3% of users are possibly Muslim.

Why do you overgeneralize without Sources? Why do you make bullcrap assessments and assumptions, and try to spread it to the ignorant?

I just don't get it, you're bold enough to come against a very large religion, big guts, but you do it online, COWARDS!

Be a martyr to your cause, and hand out leaflets outside of mosques, see the reception you get!

How many Muslims do you see attacking the Christian faith? Its as if you KNOW the TRUTH (Islam) and losers like you and Pat Robertson do ANYTHING to stop it, even a show

I was having a problem last year financially, meaning I couldn't stop spending money on things I didn't need. I prayed that God would show me a way to stop wasting my money. Now, I don't spend money on things I don't need and I never have any money. I have no money even though my husband and I both make good money. Is God trying to humble me and get me on the right track by taking what money we have and making us live paycheck to paycheck? Can you give me some bible verses to read?

I hear alot of people say that they have given themselves to Jesus or God. How does one go about just doing that? how do you ask him to come into your life? To take control, to help you? I ask but it feels like I'm doing it wrong, as if he is standing back waiting for me to do it the correct way. Is there a correct way? Please help.

Ephesians 1

1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.

Why do non-believers take things from the Holy Bible out of context and twist it to justify their way of thinking?

As a Christian, I've seen and been part of many miracles. From instant healings, to prophetic words, to seeing gold-dust and feathers falling from heaven. I know these are just a tiny tiny glimpse of what's happening. What have you seen or experienced?

Knowledge or understanding of the death? Eve choice was made only by using Knowledge or she had full understanding what exactly death means before she eat the fruit?
Was her free will 100% pure and intelegent or it was some way limited. Things to coneder: THere was not a single death or example of that in Eden. There was tree of life in the midst of the Eden. ( eating fruit of tree of life would make them ethernal, than eat fruit of Knowledge).
I am looking what does ppl think on this. I am not interesting in answers that says you have to have a faith. Faith is based on Knowledge not on understanding.

It is a defect in language that words suggest permanent realities and people do not see through this deception. But mere words cannot create reality. Thus people speak of a final goal and believe it is real, but it is a form of words and the goal as such is without substance. The one who realizes the emptiness of objects and concepts does not depend on words. Perfect wisdom is beyond definition, and pathlessness is the way to it.

The wise one treads this path for the direct realization of impermanence and for the direct realization of understanding. This, then, is perfect wisdom. Such a one should tread this path knowing that attachment and attractions are neither good nor harmful, even enlightenment is neither good nor harmful, because perfect wisdom is not meant to promote good or harm for that person. However, even though there is no intention of good or harm, it does confer endless blessing.

This is not a question about whether or not those with religious convictions should be offered some solace in war and death. The question centers on these problems:

1)Most Chaplains are trained in Christian theology – they cannot provide equal “care” to soldiers with non-Christian belief systems.
2)Due to (1), paying Chaplains amounts to endorsing one religion over the other.

Please avoid any arguments about “The U.S. was founded on Christianity.” The U.S. was founded on oppression and enslavement of minorities too; we simply grew (we like to think) out of it.

How absurd would be be to think that humans did not evolve from apes, and that they where not created by God. Many ancient paintings and drawings depict Flying Vehicles, (thought can't be proved they are actually the UFO of today's standard.) What if man actually did come to Earth from another planet. Made kind of a prison for the outcasts of Planet X. Maybe Adam and Eve where the first of many. (We have already read how rotten they where?) There are many Ancient wonders that are still a complete mystery as of yet, and can not be totally contributed to ancient man, or God...(ie. The Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Stone Henge, etc) Could it be possible?

I am a christian and I know that if God is able to make the earth, the seas, the universe and all what is inside he is able to fill his children with the holy spirit. But why there is so many people who can speak in thongue and so few who can do miracles? I feel very confused about that. Answer with scriptural references if you can.

Sorry for my english.

You can find Jesus in some very foul moods

Matthew

1. Those who bear bad fruit will be cut down and burned "with unquenchable fire." 3:10, 12

2. Jesus strongly approves of the law and the prophets. He hasn't the slightest objection to the cruelties of the Old Testament. 5:17

3. Jesus recommends that to avoid sin we cut off our hands and pluck out our eyes. This advice is given immediately after he says that anyone who looks with lust at any women commits adultery. 5:29-30

4. Jesus says that most people will go to hell. 7:13-14

5. Those who fail to bear "good fruit" will be "hewn down, and cast into the fire." 7:19

6. "The children of the kingdom [the Jews] shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." 8:12

7. Jesus tells a man who had just lost his father: "Let the dead bury the dead." 8:21


Sounds like he had an anger problem? Is this passed on to his minions?
