I have a friend...he says that he's a Christian, but he doesn't believe that the Bible stories are 100%...he says it doesn't matter if the stories happened or not, because the Bible isn't a history book...it's a book of teachings...he says the stories are there to teach us how to live....but I believe everything the Bible says...he brought up a point that the Bible never mentions dinosaurs, but it's been proven they existed...but I think if you ask questions, then you're going to Hell...who's right? Shouldn't a real Christian accept what the Bible says?

Okay so here goes, please read all,

My Dad works for a Police Force as a detective and will rarely resort to using a medium for help with strange cases. This particular medium works for free with the Police Force.

After visiting an unsolved case my dad asked this medium if she may have some info about his dad that died within the last two years. She asked if my dad had any of his personal belongings on him and my dad said yes, he wore his ring after his death. The medium took it and began.

She 1st said that my grandfather wanted to know why my dad no longer wore his watch that he left behind, which my dad just stopped wearing a month b4. Then she said that he was happy about the things we put into his casket with him (including toy pig), and then she said that he also wants you to know that he was with you the entire day at the FIRST ever family BBQ and pig roast and that he was smiling all day. She also said many other things that were family only info...
Please see more info

If you saw Jesus - the marks of the nails in his hands and feet, his pierced side? Thomas His disciple said that He would not believe unless He saw Jesus risen again - for Himself.

Jesus did appear to Him eight days later with the other disciples.
Jesus said to Thomas "Put your finger here and see my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don't be faithless any longer. Believe!"
Thomas replied:
"My Lord and my God!"
Then Jesus told him "You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who haven't seen me and believe anyway.

Jesus appeared to over 500 people after His resurrection.

Are you going to believe Jesus, who is called 'The Christ'?

You will be foolish not to!

I just read that the Muslims are now upset by something the POPE said. What he was saying made a great deal of sense, considering the events taking place in our world. He was rejecting using religion as a reason for violence. He made this statement ,while quoting something from an Islamic profit of yesteryear. Why do the Islamic/Muslims get so upset about this, when it's known, that before they go on a rampage and kill or when they are trying to rouse up the Islamic "masses", they claim that it's "God's will" ....When they are protesting in the streets and blowing people up, they are yelling "God is Great, God is Good"...Do they even have a clue what they are saying? They are using God to do their "dirty work". The Pope was simply saying, religion shouldn't be used as a source of viloence(and YES, I know what the Catholics did in the Middle ages, but this is NOT the Middle Ages). When will the Muslims stop looking for reasons to kill? I'm really baffled. Anyone have an answer?

I've never really opened up this much before so pay attention to my testomony please, it might change your life.

When I was 18 years old, I wasn't a very Godly person. I would walk by churches and never turn to look at them. I was into witchcraft and other unGodly things. I was running away from home at weeks time without even telling my own parents where I was or who I was with. I was doing drugs I was drinking badly. My life was going downhill. I was about to kill myself. I remember, I was in the kitchen I went into the drawer with the sharp knives and was holding it against my wrist, my dad ran down the stairs and said what are you doing. I told him I wanted to end my life. He said no. put the knife down. I did. Thank God I did. God was telling me no no Jenn, I have something planned for you. Even that wasn't good enough, I ended up in the hospitol for 2 weeks basicly, in a coma, I did a drug called Extasy. My first time at a rave party and I did it. I almost died that night. I woke up after 2 weeks starring up at the hospitol ceiling wired up in a hospitol bed. Thank God he let me live. Even when I got home I was still doing bad things. So my parents kicked me out of my house. I lived with my friends sister and her dad(Thank you norah, it means so much that u did that 4 me.) I called my aunt in Ohio, she said I could come and live with her for awhile. I moved out of Norah's home in about a week. Lived with my aunt in Ohio for like a week. My aunt told me later on that my grandparents were coming up to visit me. They saw that there wasn't something right with their little Jenny. My grandparents love me so much. (ty mamaw and papaw) So I moved down south in TN for like 3 years during those years I got married and divorced, anyway. I moved down to TN. The next day was Sunday. My grandparents invited me to go to church with them. I said,"ok i'll go." The next day I woke up put on my dressy clothes went to church. The second my foot hit the inside red carpet of that church, I felt like something left my body, literaly. like there was something inside of me that left, and something filled me up, I felt so free and loved, God was tapping on my heart the whole serman. I've never felt so much joy in my life! I was so happy. The next couple of weeks, I've never smiled so much in my whole life:) God was changing my life. To this day I thank Jesus for helping me. I'm so thankful for the person I am now, even if I had to go through all of those bad things, it made me the person I am today. Now I I spend so much time with my mom and dad and my lil bro Cole. I love you Mom and Dad and Cole. I love you Jesus.

Some verses from the Gospels state that Jesus would return before the death of those to whom he was talking. Both Matthew and Luke include the statement from Jesus, "This generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place" (Matthew 24:34, Luke 21:32)

WHY DO YOU WEAR A CRUCIFIX AROUND YOUR NECK WHEN ACCORDING TO YOU IT WAS THE IMPLIMENT OF HIS DEATH?
IF YOUR BEST FRIEND WAS SHOT - HOW DO YOU THINK HIS/HER FATHER WOULD FEEL IF YOU WORE A REPLICA OF A GUN AROUND YOUR NECK & CHERISHED IT?

JESUS DID DIE FOR US - BUT HE DIDN'T DIE ON A CROSS - HE WAS IMPALED ON A STAKE
AND WORSHIPING THE IMPLIMENT OF HIS DEATH IS WRONG
IT IS IDOL WORSHIP AND GOD IS NOT PLEASED WITH IT

CHECK EXODUS 20:4 and 1 JOHN 5:21
AND ACCEPT THE COUNSEL YOU FIND THERE WITH HUMILITY

I am a chistian. Jesus Christ is my savior. IF i am wrong it's OK because there will be no one to judge me. BUT if thoes who don't believe in him are wrong there will come a day when they will be sent to hell. Now tell me what kind of wrong do you want to be?? OK i guess it is a ?. And as far a christians being hard asses for not caring about the people in hell... You made your own bed, now lay in it.l We cared enough to tell you the truth.

Now we all know, that Judism and Christianty are against Idol's because of the God we pray to, the one true God the God of Israel, but muslims pray to the God of the Arabs, Allah ask any Arab what God did the Arabs pray to before Islam, and it's still Allah, the Koran admits that the temple that they keep their God in was used for Idol's before, and this is in their own Koran
