If heaven isn't in the sky, why did he ascend in a chariot of fire? Was god giving him a tour of the solar system before heading off into heaven?

I certainly don't believe most muslims are violent.

The meaning the media gives to this word (Jihad) is false. This word does not mean a holy war, for there is nothing holy about a war in Islam (submission). There are times when war is tolerated, permitted and even, in some case, to a point accepted, but never considered holy. Islam (Submission) is a religion of peace, no matter what certain media or deranged individuals say or claim. Islam (Submission) revolves around the concept of peace.

Pope said. "He said, I quote, 'Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.'" Benedict added "I quote" twice to make it clear these were someone else's words.

In my local paper on Saturday, there was a letter to the editor regarding our need for a new jail. This is a stand alone paragraph:

God does not want a jail near schools and the airport. Everyone worries about terrorist attacks - we haven't seen any until the jail comes.

Does god think that people in jail are terrorists? Does this writer know that jesus can be found in jail? I'm at a loss.

I understand those of you who have been blinded by Saten being critical of us and of Christ, but we who have been saved by the Blood of Jesus should be more loving and an example to those who are blasting us. No wonder some folks don't want to be Christians when we act so hateful to others.
Let us try to be more like Jesus and less bitter and defensive.

I feel I am on a mission to pray for Julia. Whether this person is truly hurting or just trying to provoke us to act against God is not important. If we are being provoked, then surely there is an ungodly force behind it. If she simply needs help, will you join me in prayer that Julia be given guidance and assistance?

I would appreciate it if you would write your prayer so others can pray your prayer aloud.

Please, for those who do not believe, please keep the hurtful comments to yourself. Unkind comments offer to help to anyone.

Thanks.

Hi, after watching Christian TV channels lastnight, I wanted to find more about a guy named Todd Coontz who was asking for $100 'seeds' I thought this was very wrong, so anyway I came across a couple of websites that agreed with me and eventually did a test on www.livingwaters.com about the 10 commandments and I was guilty of 9 of them. I don't break any now but the thought occured after reading the wording by this ministry, apparently my God is a figment of my imagination. So the question is if you are born mentally challenged and steal something for example and you do not have the mental capacity to see that you have done wrong and therefore unable to repent, are you going to hell?

is it true because you believe it ? I would contest that - since you are not all knowing - it is the latter. Religion requires a high level of egotism. You elevate all the things you believe and imagine them to be some ultimate truth.

To claim that the bible is the word of god - requires that you believe it to be the word of god. The believer always put themselves before any belief they happen to have

Our opinions can be based by a number of factors: past experiences, cultur, our upbringing, etc.

Whatever the subject of your opinion is,(religon, race, politics...), I would encourage all of us to think about if you are painting with the proper paint brush.

If we paint with the "paint roller" method it can be very easy to paint some areas the wrong color, making it hard to see thing way it was intended to be.

If we paint with our "detail brush" approach it will surely take more time, but I think we will get a better picture of how is supposed to be.

I would also encourage all of us to take time to paint the whole picture and take it all in before we form our opinion.

Also I think that all of us need to be considerate and respectful of the opinions of others. Even if we do not share that same opinion.

When we become rude, condensending, or nasty. We can close the door that would allow others to see things from our point of view.

Why on earth had the Pope to apologize for mentioning an old medieval text, saying that Islam wants to impose its religion with the sword?
Al Qaeda is already predicting the conquest of Rome.
They have been killing our priests, burning our churches, making a mockery of the cross and our religious symbols well before the Pope's words. They have never apologized for that.

We have welcomed Muslims in our countries. We have allowed them to build their mosques in our cities. What about reciprocity? Why can't Christians enjoy the same freedom in the Islamic countries? Why can't we practice our christianity in those countries without being killed?

Is our society decadet?

Why don't we react? Have we lost our guts?
