Michael is mentioned several times doing the old testament but goes off the scene sort of during the new testament. You hear from Archangel Gabriel but no Michael until Revelation. Where is he and what is he doing during the new testament? Please give scripture to back up answer.

as far as i am concerned both have high religious moral values and dress and are best amongst our believing women. Yet one can walk the streets and be treated with respect, yet the other, will be taunted and harassed. why is there so much disparity in the way we treat these two kind of women?

Having read the Bible for myself to see what it REALLY says, I see that Jesus taught a much simpler, more direct, more compassionate, more forgiving and more logical way of living than what I've heard from the so-called 'Christian' leaders. What a contrast! Most of the 'Christian' denominations seem more like the Pharisees with their sanctimonious hypocrisy and burdensome traditions.

Do babies have homosexual relations or kill people while in utero? Obviously not, so how can they be born with sin? It's not as though there's sin carried over from past lives, since Christianity does not believe in reincarnation.

Christianity does not make sense at all. I'm glad to be Neo-Pagan leaning toward Buddhism.

anti-Semitism is a global reality but most Gentiles are certain that Jews are a race, a culture and not simply a religious group. In scientific terms are you a "Jew" if one or more of your parents are Jewish?

Most theists would never identify themselves as agnostics (don't know if God exists or not), so how do you think that you KNOW God exists rather than just believing in it?

Why did Jezus have to tell you through John in Revelations that Judgement say would come? Why did he have to tell you that The World would be undone? Why did he leave the BOOK of Life unfilled with the truth about our mother-Earth! I do not know of a far greater show-which rides in this universe upon times journey of light-twas easy to call so many things true-especially for men that lived and were in awe by flight-Angels had wings and these men couldn't soar so they dreamed of gods that could make them more-and in doing so they placed hope faith and love-into a place out of this world-in one the dreamed of above-with golden roads and castles and 1 being upon a thrown-for to all that beliveth in him was mercy shown-and to these ends they would work hard each and every day-knowing that forgiveness would be a better way-but then it happened and they were quite caught off guard-they began to see the violence of a Mother that they discard-4 she was SECOND TO THEIR GOD-only her heart melts*

Anyone have any ideas how a community can overule a diocese who want to put our social club up for sale leaving a large number of people without a social centre.Mostly the people are elderly,there is also a special needs group,we have tried a petition,we have tried to talk to the parish priest,written to the bishop,but presently to no avail.Why do these Catholic diocese's have so much power and always win by selling property that was originally paid for by the people but now appears to belong to the Church.It is very unfair.

Did you know that God has a far greater purpose for each and everyone of us, God has blessings and plans for us, individually and uniquely, he provides us with spiritual gifts through the Holy Spirit, when Jesus was about to be sacrificed for our sins on the cross we were told that we would not be left without a comforter, that is what the Holy Spirit is, a guide through this life leading us into our reward in the New Kingdom. When we are sad or troubled or angry, God wants us to come to him with our burdens, don't have to face them alone, ever. Jesus loved us before we were even born into this world, we were all born sinners and only through Christ can we have forgiveness. God wants us to not reject him, and follow the world, but to follow The Lord, because The Lord is the only Truth.

But is wanting to go enough? Will everyone who wants to go find themselves in Heaven for eternity? If not, what else is necessary for us to live with the Lord after we die? We will search the scriptures and find the answers to these and many other questions. Notice where I said we would find the answers...in the scriptures. An open Bible and an open mind are essential to a proper understanding of God's word. Should you have questions about anything you find on this site please let your Bible be your guide. I’ve provided links to an online Bible should you not have your personal Bible with you. We will be judged by the words spoken by Jesus (John 12:48). These words were not spoken on His own authority, but He spoke only what God instructed Him to speak (John 12:49,50). Men do not have the authority to speak anything more or less than that we have revealed to us in the scriptures. To do so invites error and everlasting punishment. Please do not risk your eternal soul on the opinion of another, no matter how well respected they may be.

I’ve designed the navigation bar to be used from the top down. I begin with an introduction to my website. Next, I’ve provided links for those who are interested in participating in a free home Bible correspondence course or an online series of interactive Bible lessons. The studies I’ve published to my site begin with Jesus Christ. After learning about Jesus and His sufferings on earth the site takes you to a study of religious authority. Christianity, and religion in general, is filled with differing opinions and ideas. We must understand where to find true religious authority if we’re going to be pleasing to God. As you continue down the series of lessons you’ll learn about belief, salvation, discipleship, God’s calling, grace, the church and the reality of hell. The next series of studies is designed to address issues that divide Christianity into the 34,000 different religious organizations we have today. In this section we’ll look at the sinner’s prayer and the teachings of several different Christian denominations. In the next section you’ll find a study of different non-Christian religions. The final section includes a number of newspaper articles (“It is Settled”), topical studies, word studies, Spanish language articles, poetry and humorous short stories. I’ve added a guestbook, links page and my e-mail address for your use. Please feel free to add your comments to the guestbook or e-mail your questions to me. I’ll be happy to answer them to the best of my ability. This site is a work in progress, so return often and check for newly-published lessons.

God's Word is powerful, able to divide soul from spirit, joints from marrow, and discern the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). I will not try to "soften the blow" the scriptures may inflict on the hearts of those who are actively seeking to understand God's truth. One of the challenges teachers face is to present material to their students in a fashion the students can understand, but not take away from the impact of the material being taught. My goal is to present God's Word in a way that is easily understood by all who are studying with me, but to allow it to use its power for change and to direct the feet of those who are willing to follow its lead along that narrow path to eternal life. Some of my comments may seem strong--they are meant to be. Again I ask that you open the Word of God as we go through our studies and determine for yourselves the truth of His Word. In the end we will each answer for ourselves as we stand before God at the Day of Judgment. I hope the lessons we study together will help you as you continue your walk in this life and prepare you to stand before God in that great Day of Judgment.
