If so, I'm looking for material to fill my site, especially conversion stories to the church. I'm also looking for feedback, any other Pro-LDS sites not listed, and apologetics information will be posted as I get it and feel inclined to post it. Let me know what you think!

I've had a few encounters with psychics which were a bit of a let down - they came out with lots of names etc which meant nothing to me and information which was not accurate.

Derek Acorah (we saw him live in Cardiff in 2004) guessed my name without me telling him and told me a lot of stuff about my family, but some of it has turned out to be inaccurate when I checked it with my mum. He said I'd meet a guy called Mark from Pontypool and we'd have twin girls. Well I met MIKE from Gillingham in Kent and we're having a baby boy. So umm a bit wrong there . . .

But a spiritual healer who I saw earlier this year was fantastic - she worked on my infertility and I got pregnant that month for the very first time in my life after trying for many years and being told I'd need IVF!

So I really want to beleive it.

What do you all think?!?

I am fighting with sAtAn-because I believe Your God is a coward and that he created evil and tried tto blame it on his creation SATAN-he admittedly is a jealous God and He made Lucifer Beautiful and then burns him-he reigns in Heaven surrounding himself with monsters (just read Revelations to see what you will be facing judgement day) and therefore I find in SATANS favor as would the courts of Law here in The United States-all you have to prosecute SATAN is heresey and nothing tangible-not one eye witness to the account that was described by a prejudiced assembly that had a gun called HELL pointed to their heads-In our courts a man is innocent until proven guilty and I would like to know what the charge against SATAN is-what evil did he commit-who did he kill-his crime was to want to be God u say? I guess I have been guilty of that offense-He deceived Eve you say-What if he told her to jump off a bridge? Sorry, by my intuitive and intelligent mind I find SATAN "NOT GUILTY" & God wrong

Luke 18:15-17

When the disciples saw people bringing their babies to Jesus, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."

What is it about the children coming to Jesus that touches us deeply. Perhaps it is our sense of security - we ourselves feel like little children before him. Yet, now that we are, relatively speaking, high rollers we tunnel vision from an adult standpoint. What does Jesus mean to teach his disciples from this incident?

In Luke the context bespeaks humility. The preceding passage was the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector [or what have you in our modern world] which Jesus concludes with the words: "For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted" (18:14b). [is one exalted more by using the highest tech weaponry ever conceived; while on the other hand, forbidding others the same right lest the other shoot you down from your caterpillar pillar?] Here's what follows:

They brought Babies to the Master. Remember its the same master who told Peter to lay down his sword for the Word was the true sword.

The practice of bringing children to the elders for a prayer of blessing upon them occured on the evening of the Day of Atonement.

Jesus would, with great joy, scoop them up and pray for them. When Jesus did this once, other parents saw it and came down toward the front. They wanted this for their children, too, for their children were often with them in the audience.

But the disciples would have none of it. Jesus was about important business -- teaching and healing. They couldn't allow this work to be interrupted by mere children constantly running up. They began to stop the little children, and tell off the parents in no uncertain terms.

This question of how children were viewed in Jesus' culture is important - children were viewed as unimportant in Palestine in Jesus' day. Now consider a previous incident in this biblical makeup.

"An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him. Then he said to them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all -- he is the greatest." (Luke 9:46-48)

The principle of the innocence of children is alien to the Old Testament. The original sin... an eye for an eye... True, children were not held responsible for sin even up to nine years of age, but the concept of the evil impulse is there from conception or birth.

In Scripture, not until the Apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 14:20) does the idea of children's innocence even appear [the sting of the Old Law and the vengeful God]. And in Paul and other epistles, a much more common theme is that of the immaturity and inferiority of the child (1 Corinthians 3:1; 13:11; 14:20; Galatians 4:1, 3; Ephesians 4:14; Hebrews 5:13; 1 Peter 2:1-2), following the view of "foolishness" bound up in the heart of a child (Proverbs 22:15; 29:15).

Though children were prized by parents - they were largely ignored as unimportant - not worthy of much adult attention outside the family.

"But Jesus called the children to him and said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.' " (18:16)

Now, given this, would the Jesus of the Second Coming become more turned on by the hi tech craft and how well we can preserve it from the world of have-nots [who of course have the vast majority of children, even the poor humble immigrant whether they be Romanina, Hispanic, Hindu or Moslem has proportionally more baby marvels than the solid state childless Westerner who prides himself in firewalls, patents, and all other goodies his Big Brother will provide. But not conceive...(?)

A statement concerning mixed race children is recurring in some literature I read.it states that Jewish women have less respect for a child who's father was jewish and mother was not,than a child whose mother was jewish and father was not.Is this true?If so, Why ? P.S. Contrary to my "handle" my mother is Jewish and my father is Cherokee.

I had asked a question previously, yet it was not answered properly... Men are not hiding behind us women. men and women are being blown up from above. If i kill you, you kill me. do not exceed your right and kill my family. the answers i have gotten are pathetic ans show no feeling and compassion. however i am more disappointed at the muslim community as they have given no response!!! to those who have replied, i thank you for sharing your opinion. however i do pity you. you have no real evidence that muslims are terrorists! and how can israel be attacking so many countries yet they are right. so ten countries are wrong but one is right. it makes no sense. general knowledge would tell that we are destroying world peace. we are killing each other and those that are wrong wil certainly be punished.

Why is it that whenever you quote the bible with a verse, passage or chapter of the bible that xtians don't like...they start screaming "out of context", or "wrong interpretation", or even "that's outdated". That kind of circular logic baffles me! Have they even read that d*mn book of thiers? What a totally convenient religion.

I find xtians to be the worst possible combination of ignorance and arrogance. I'm so frustrated! Why do I care you ask? Because I live in this world too and so do my children. Because they are making their religion law. Because they are dangerous. Arrrgh!

How do you deal with this? I'm close to going postal....LOL

Whether it is someone from the past present or future-someone that was evil-just didn't believe-or wasn't of THE SAVED FAITH. Are you prepared to support your conclusions because I am prepared to defend the actions of every single person that has-still is or will live-based on the text of your religious manuscript and doctrine!

The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all


Where is the love???

I think the Christians would win. The Muslim martyrs can only fight with guns, and they're too suicidal. The Christian martyrs have experience fighting lions, so they would probably own the Muslims hard. What do you think?
