By this I mean is something right or wrong in Christianity depending on the consequences, or should Christians just follow rules (as in the O.T.)? Some people say it is a combination, but how could this work? Please share your ideas...

I am a Satan Worshipper, and have been for 2 years. Im not a kid looking for attention, Im 21 years old. I was a "born again" Christian until I was 16. I often go into the christian chat room because the ones who are not prejudiced against my religion often make good friends. But then others say things like "God Bless you", "I'll pray for you", "Jesus loves you", and worse yet "You're going to hell", "All will bow to the lord", "Satan is Evil", "You're a gothic kid looking for attention", etc etc, I can go on all day. My point here is, do they think I didnt know any of this? Do they think We're ignorant? We know the Holy bible better than most christians and choose to not follow them, but no matter how much we tell them to leave us be with that stuff, they mess with us. We hardly ever start the conversation. We choose to believe what we believe, why cant they respect that? Please, christians, dont reply with christian phrases or insults, it will only prove what Im trying to say. Thanks

all i want just to get you the real picture:

1. so first your God came from birth as a little baby born?

2. then his mother calmed him down when he cries, feed him when he is hungry, and dresses him up?

3. then God mother starts to teach him how to walk, and play with him?

Is this is your God?

how about worshiping the God who created you and created Jesus inside his mother womb instead? why do you hide the truth and you are well aware of it? the one who created this whole universal. To Him belong all what's between the heavens and the earth.

Why Christianity does seeking for uneducated rural tribesmen to spread their religion. Are they going back to the beginning of Christianity? Like the time when Jesus mock around with sheep’s and fishmongers. Do you think the people who are joining today have an idea about what is the actual plan of Vatican? Why the Hindu idiots can not care for all the humans equally?

put your shoes on one of the prophets of God. if you been commanded by God to go to china, to spread the words of God. and convince them to leave their religion and convert to yours by worshiping only one God. while in fact you already know that your life will be in risk and they will go after you trying to hunt you.

then what will you do?

This is the biggest misconception in Islam, no doubt resulting from the constant stereotyping and bashing the media gives Islam. When a gunman attacks a mosque in the name of Judaism, a Catholic IRguerrilla sets off a bomb in an urban area, or Serbian Orthodox militiamen rape and kill innocent Muslim civilians, these acts are not used to stereotype an entire faith. Never are these acts attributed to the religion of the perpetrators. Yet how many times have we heard the words 'Islamic, Muslim fundamentalist. etc.' linked with violence.

Politics in so called "Muslim countries" may or may not have any Islamic basis. Often dictators and politicians will use the name of Islam for their own purposes. One should remember to go to the source of Islam and separate what the true religion of Islam says from what is portrayed in the media. Islam literally means 'submission to God' and is derived from a root word meaning 'peace'.

Islam may seem exotic or even extreme in the modern world. Perhaps this is because religion doesn't dominate everyday life in the West, whereas Islam is considered a 'way of life' for Muslims and they make no division between secular and sacred in their lives. Like Christianity, Islam permits fighting in self-defense, in defense of religion, or on the part of those who have been expelled forcibly from their homes. It lays down strict rules of combat which include prohibitions against harming civilians and against destroying crops, trees and livestock.

NOWHERE DOES ISLAM ENJOIN THE KILLING OF INNOCENTS..

The Quran says: "Fight in the cause of God against those who fight you, but do not transgress limits. God does not love transgressors." (Quran 2:190) "If they seek peace, then seek you peace. And trust in God for He is the One that heareth and knoweth all things." (Quran 8:61) War, therefore, is the last resort, and is subject to the rigorous conditions laid down by the sacred law. The term 'jihad' literally means 'struggle'. Muslims believe that there are two kinds of jihad. The other 'jihad' is the inner struggle of the soul which everyone wages against egotistic desires for the sake of attaining inner peace.

Some religions state that any person who acts the way their god asks them to act deserves to go to Heaven. I am wondering about these poor people who've been brainwashed since they were born and commit acts of terrorism because they believe their god asks them to do so. Should they go to Heaven or not?

What issues are most important to you? Everyday I see Christians argue over the 10 commandments and other petty things like keeping under god in the pledge or whatever. But why do Christians worry about these things. Now I'm not Christian but as I understand the Bible I think it would be more important as a Christian to concern oneself with issues like the genocide in Darfur, with all the money spent on anti-abortion or anti-homosexual causes we could be convincing our government to interveen in Sudan or send food to the billions of starving people on this planet. Let's have some perspective here. You can worry about people getting maried later, what's really important to you?

Hi. I'm Wilford Brimley and I have Diabetes. It hurts me to pee and it causes me to be short with my family. I can't sleep at night. The other day I stubbed my toe and I took it out on the dog. And two weeks ago I ran out of vanilla ice cream and struck my wife. Then I find out my wife's been dead for six years. Who the hell did I hit?

It instills the fear of God. It tells us about the wages of sin. It underscores Hell. It embraces The Ten Commandments. Yet, those who preach it, are the worst sinners. To me Christianity is simply a means to control the masses. It allows men ot cloth to practice the most hideous of behavior, (still another example of "do as I say, not as I do". )We are told to "believe" and "have faith" which I can do. But it is far more acceptable if I converse with the God within myself. Not the Church.

He was rummaging through some old books in his library and came across Sheikh Ahmed Deedat's book, Crucifixion or Cruci-fiction? which shook his faith and radically changed his concept of God and his entire life.

What made a distinguished attorney, a proud Zulu by birth and a son of the African soil give up the Catholic Church in which he was raised in favour of Islam? This was a faith he was taught to be wary of.

I wanted to take this time to apologize to everyone (Christians and non-Christians) for my previous answers on here. I had rationalized God out of my life the past 9 years, but thankful that I had a change of heart and given another chance. Questions and answers on this site will do nothing. It's obvious that you have to be called by God, and only his grace can you understand.

God Bless!

definitely not in the Da Vinci Code,
It’s definitely not in the Dead Sea Scrolls,
It’s definitely not in the Old Testament,
It’s definitely not in the New Testament,
It’s definitely not in the Gospel according to Judas.

You will not find these Truths in Conspiracy Theories, block busting novels, movies or unsubstantiated Secret Documents enshrouded in mystery requiring secret codes to unravel.

This and all other Truths is to be found in the only Testament that has passed the Biblical test as mentioned in Matt in that it has remained unchanged even to the extent of ‘one jot or one tittle’ for the last 1400 years. A Testament that has remained in its original text and language free of human manipulations or conspiracies since its earthly manifestation 1400 years ago. A Testament that can never be destroyed as it is preserved literally in the hearts and minds of millions of people on planet earth, and in a preserved Tablet in heaven. A Testament that was written not ‘behind closed doors’ by people with ‘hidden agendas’, but written in the broad daylight of recorded history. A Testament that exposes the ‘cover ups, intrigues and lies’ of the past, present & future.

You have read the rest, but you owe it to yourself, your family and the world to now read, analyze and study the best.

READ Al Qur’an the Last & Final Testament to all of humanity.

Has anyone seen this documentary. Very powerful and disturbing message. If you are Catholic does this make you want to reevaluate the church and their teachings or do continue on and support them. And if you have kids and they are in catholic school, do you keep them there?
