Converts recently have had to flee Iran when it was discovered that former Muslims had become Christian. There was a death sentence on their heads.

Have you ever played Dungeons and Dragons?

Do you think it's "evil?"

Check out this comic by Jack Chick:
http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0046/0046_01.asp

Is this what Christians really believe happens when you play Dungeons and Dragons?

Obveously, I think the comic is rediculous. D&D is just a game, and has little to no connection to anything occult anyway (not that the occult is evil, you know). I haven't played yet, but my boyfriend is a Dungeon master and he's going to help me start. :)

He died Friday afternoon and was buried by sunset. He rose from the dead Early Sunday Morning with the breaking of the dawn. That would be less then 48 hours. How many days is 48 hours? Why does the bible also say that the value of pi is 3?

well being Jewish is good-but before i rejected Moses required blood atonement for sins for passover and yom kippur-but i found Isaiah explained its fulfillment in the coming Messiah (700 bce) Isaiah 52 vs 13-53 vs 12 to be marred more than any man before exaulted and to be the anointed one Messiah, the lamb of God to atone for our sins." and other placesIsaiah 9:6 "Unto us a child is born, a son is given, and he shall be the prince of peace, the almighty God, and the wonderful counselor."
why do others reject the Jewish prophet and then say they are Jewish-what do u believe? help me please
finally i prayed as the Messiah said to do-Revelation 3 vs 19&20 to open our heart and let him in to deliver from sin and become our friend - "Behold i stand at your heart door and knock if u repent from your sins, I will come in and become your friend-amen"
now i am a full Jewish person with a Jewish Messiah-
what do u believe-and i pray u believe in him too-he is so wonderfull

good and evil are things in our mind, we make them evil because we attach a moral to them. If there was a killer who just killed for killing, not thinking at all, would be a pure killing machine and only a machine with a purpose. It becomes evil when the person is conciencious of his actions.

So if you do not think your actions are evil, they are not. It is only when you think they might be evil, that they indeed, become evil. When you feel guilt, this is when you feel evil. If you got rid of guilt, the grain or "heart" of your action would just be purposeful, and ceaze to be evil.

That does not mean, however, that such actions would be beneficial to society, someone who kills and does not think its evil (really really, not just killing for revenge but is actualyl psychopathic), should just be killed because he is a menace to socieyt, and prevents our existance as a race if we let him roam free in the genepool.

All this swirling controversy about what I say and my search for Gods face.What should I do ? Go and sit in a church and wait for somone to conjure Him up for me? Should I wait and let someone talk Him into me ? ( rotfl) I doubt that will occur. What is this langauge barrier you say Jesus has ? He gets nervous when I say karma instead of sowing and reaping ? Does the moon and His creatures I love have power to steal His glory and my attention from Him ? I dont think so. I dont think God is nervous over me. Im ripping out all the stops and religiosity so I CAN FIND HIM. I know its Jesus. Hes not having a panic attack over my antics and He isnt bipoloar...Hes surely happy Im fussing and ranting and want His attention. Mystics, anicients...wise ones..help this teenage goddess please ?

Does Islam allow any leeway on what name you call the One God? How forgiving is Allah?

Also, does Islam make any distinction between Allah and the Christian God, or does it teach that they are the same God? Is the Christian God viewed as a false god and an imposter? Is being a Christian considered idol worship in the Islamic view?

today at church we had a guest pastor. he said today in this world we as christians we need to leave christianity and become sons. because we as believers want to be like jesus. so we cant be christians because jesus was not a christian. he was a son. the son of god. my point is we need to leave religion persay and become sons of god. christianity is a new thing. so do you get my point. i asked this question cuz i want opinions on this. i agree with it.

To create a universe and all within it is a great MAGICAL feat.To perform miracles is magic.To SEND forth "his" seed to make a virgin pregnant through spiritual means is MAGIC in every sense of the word...So why did they KILL in Salem,when they suspected people to be witches?The words Saddistic Fools come to my mind when I consider the murderous and vengeful mindset of Christians.Why are they like that?And dont try to tell me they arent.Israel is GOD's "CHOSEN",and they kill in the name of their religion.And none of them can dispute what is history in Salem..

To anyone who answered my last question as "Hell" I am very sad for you. Please, consider fallowing Jesus. And just because you are a person who does good things, doesn't mean that you are going to heaven. You have to be on fire for the Lord your God, and know him and his word. The wrath of God is hell, and trust me, that place is horrible beyond measure. But always remember that God loves you and wants you to fallow him. God can forgive all your sins, and you can be clean. There is no sin that God cannot forgive, that is his promise. And there is no person who hasn't sinned. It says in the bible "All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God." Please take my advice, you don't want to go to hell.

If Jesus is the Messiah, then isn't Christianity really just an extension of Judaism?

2006-07-23 06:36:03 · 12 answers · asked by skypiercer 4

Is he 100% God, or
is he 100% human, or
is he some mixture of both?

In history, this question has divided the church in half at least twice. Dispute over this is why the Oriental Orthodox churches (Syrian, Egyptian, Ethiopian, Persian etc) split with the Roman Catholics around the 4th century, and why the Eastern Orthodox Churches (Greek, Russian, Serbian etc) (over half of Christians) split with the Roman Catholic Church just a thousand years ago.

Obviously, this is an important question if it's answer can split Christianity in half twice.

Where do you stand on this issue? They say the fate of your eternal soul is in the balance whether you stand on God's side or Satan's side of this issue.

David,
I don't know whether you are actually Jewish or not, but I do know that you are a Christian. I also know that you post the same "question" -- which is comprised of standard christian "proof-texts" -- repeatedly.

If your question was sincere I would have no problem, but it is clear from your posting patterns that your questions are merely a cheap decoy to missionize and spread the idea to Jews to convert to christianity (which is, by defintion, anyone who believes jesus was the messiah).

I object to your deceptive methods of missionizing. I feel it insults the teachings of G-d, whether one is Jewish or Christian. (For example, II Corinthians 4:2, I Peter 2:1, Psalm 34:14 speak about honesty and not using deceitful ways.)

If you're going to missionize, at least be honest about it.

On the side: For those who are actually interested in a Jewish perspective on the so-called "proof-texts", I recommend visting www.JewsForJudaism.org

No offense has been intended.
