Does the other lack faith? OR does he perhaps have some unresolved sin blocking the effectiveness of his prayers?

There are many sources that prove that the belief of reincarnation in Christianity has been hush-hushed over the years and some passages of the bible referencing it were even removed by church officials. I found many websites and articles on this but this was the most well laid out that I found: http://www.atmajyoti.org/sw_xtian_believe_reinc.asp

I was thinking about it and just imagine how much better and non-judgmental Christians would be nowadays if they still believed in reincarnation. There would be no, "Repent or burn in hell!" or “Go to Jesus before it’s too late!!!”

This could actually change the world. I’m serious. The fact that reincarnation has been covered up in the bible is not a secret any longer. But next to no one knows about it.

If reincarnation returned as a Christian belief, Christianity would still exist but it would be so, so much more tolerant. It’d be a lot closer to the religion that it SHOULD be rather than what is nowadays.

Remember who it was that told us that Islam was hijacked? Stupid weak white non-muslim leftist anchormen..yes (Rather, etc)? It certainly wasnt any major Muslim leaders...there werent any religious decrees (fatwas) declare rage over this horrible "hijacking".

You know what facinates me about the media, which shapes public opinion and mainstream perception of the world...what amazes me is how they can make outright claims (as opposed to qualified remarks) about something they know nothing...i mean literally nothing about.

Ive had the benefit of interacting with muslims during these insane remarks by dumb white leftists. Often, Muslims cant help laughing when leftist make totally ignorant characterizations of their religion.

Unlike 99% of all leftists, I did my homework about Islam. I had the same assumptions as most, but found the horrifying opposite to be true. Bin Laden was right when he said the perception that this was only a war with al qaeda was a "very narrow view"

Mine didn't come in one big fell swoop, but rather over a period of time. I realized that "FOR ME" God does not judge, and I have nothing to ask forgivness for. That understanding has changed my life.

I'd love to hear what ''understandings" people have had about life that changed them in a profound way.

Thanks !

Rework:

Most of the verses quoted can be interpreted as:
A reminder that Jesus is Judge.
AND
One must not judge Jesus.
BUT
not neccessarily that I must accept Jesus.

Correct?

Ultimately, the decision was theirs and not the Jews. They were the man.

know? I receive a massive amount of rude rmarks. Yet you have this crazy guy posting things like "I AM? I AM? and "Yahweh? Yahweh? and thats all it says, yet you don't insult him? I don't see that he/she is asking a question, he/she is more or less teasing and other answer with a tease. How can you justify one with insults and not the other? Just curious as to the average persons thinking? Any thoughts?

What percentage of your prayers seem to have any effect on the outcome of events? If you pray and ask God for it not to rain today during your picnic, and it rains anyway, do you forget about it, or chalk that up to a "no" answer whereas if you pray for a safe car trip on and you arrive unscratched do you tend to remember that as an example of answered prayer, or a "yes" answer. If two christians pray for opposite teams to win a football game, how come God only answers the prayer of one of them?

It is after all a proven fact that atheists are more intelligent then the religious.

A Jew?
A Communist?
A venture capitalist?
A soldier of fortune?

Which of these would you most like them to date? Which would you least like them to date?

In our Judeo-Christian society, the documents collectively known as the Bible serve as the primary guide on most issues. It is interesting that many Christians take literally the references to homosexual acts, while interpreting other text with great flexibility. One person reported listening to a nationally-known woman speak in her campaign against homosexuality. She spent quite a bit of time quoting impressively from Leviticus. The listener accepted much of what the speaker said until he realized that, by Levitical standards, the crusader herself had broken many biblical laws – she spoke in church (1 Corinthians 14:34), she taught men (1 Timothy 2:12), she was wearing a dress made of cotton and polyester (Deuteronomy 22:11), and others of which he was probably unaware.

What does the Bible really say about homosexuality? Actually, very little. Most significantly, Jesus said nothing at all. Considering the relatively small amount of attention the Bible pays to the subject, we must ask ourselves why this is such a volatile issue. Other subjects about which the scriptures say a great deal (e.g. judgment, pride, hypocrisy) receive much less passionate attention. Before looking at specific passages, it is important to note that everyone understands the scriptures based on, and through, the light of what they have been taught. The Bible was not written in a cultural void, and many of its instructions and laws are simply classified as less relevant today (e.g. prohibition against eating pork).

Nowhere does the Bible actually address the idea of persons being lesbian or gay. The statements are, without exception, directed to certain homosexual acts. Early writers had no understanding of homosexuality as a psychosexual orientation. That truth is a relatively recent discovery. The biblical authors were referring to homosexual acts performed by persons they assumed were heterosexuals.

Is it because they don't like the question or cannot find a valid retort, so suffice with a silly question as a reply instead?

Since we are covered by Jesus' blood(those that are saved), doesn't God see us through it? And what does He see....
