Do you see parallels today?

If you are Christian, do you recognize that at that time, the crusades were supported by the prevailing lay Christian interpretation of the Bible?

...who could that be?
...what are the chances that the AntiChrist has already come?
... and what are the actual verses that tell us the AntiChrist was to be loved by all?

Is there anyone or anything that has come close to being loved by all??

Do you think it is possible that somoene or something CAN be loved by all?? Should this be taken literally??

Please help me understand why God would make some ppl homosexual and then firmly say it's a sin. I am a Christian & my faith is in God, so I know there's an answer somewhere, b/c I believe He is love and He is just.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
If you're one of the people who says homosexuality is a choice, tell me why - same goes for those who think it's not a choice. I know homosexual ppl who tell me it's not a choice and that they were born that way... So what do you think?
Thanks a lot!!

God is so Holy and so Good, and He is immensely and endlessly Just, and by no means can God oppress or deal unfairly with mankind. We Christian are saved not because of the good work we are doing and hence God is pleased of our work and thus accepts us and brings us to Him. We know that we are saved not because of the work we did, but because the work that God did for us. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. So God did every thing possible to redeem mankind and restore him to life to be with Him and enjoy His company for we also know that God has prepared what no eyes have ever seen or ears hear or minds perceive the wonder that God has for those who love him and those who accepted his work on the cross and His salvation. But we Christian also know that those who are saved are few and much less than those who are perished. Christ revealed to us that the saved ones enter from the narrow gate and those who enter therein are very few. But those who are perished go through the wide and spacious gate and who enter therein are many and greatly more than those who are saved. In Jeremiah 13:17 the scripture reveals the sorrow of God because of human disobedience to Him. It is written: If you won't listen, then I will weep secretly over your pride. My Eyes will cry bitterly and flow with tears because the Lords flock will be taken away captives. It seems that most of humanity is going to hell.
In Roman 9:14-23 we read, "14What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."16It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy. 17For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."18Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden. 19One of you will say to me: "Then why does God still blame us? For who resists his will?" 20But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?' "21Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use? 22What if God, choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? 23What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory.
How do you explain?

In this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself, etc. (Catechism Pg. 380, #1364)

The priest words of consectration reaches up into heaven, brings Christ down from His throne.

Christ who is eternal and omnipotent Son of God, bows his head in humble obedience to a sinner priest's command. Christ would not want to go through the agony of the cross again.

How many intelligent designers were there? You cite a case of for example a skyscraper being "too complex to be made by chance," but a skyscraper is so complex that there is a whole team of designers i.e. Engineers and Architects, plus those that had to build it. So if the Universe is soooooooo much more complex than a skyscraper, wouldn't it make sense to have more than one intelligent designer? Sounds rather stupid to limit yourself to one.

In light of this, though, what scientific proof (because we all know its not religion) do you have that there was only one intelligent designer? And what scientific evidence do you have that this one intelligent designer has the endless power you claim (if you claim this)?

Anyone who believes in evolution should refrain from answering since we only need the answers of the "real scientists" of "intelligent desing."

Many times I have been asked what is my faith, in which I say nothing, and everthing. I find myself to be an atheist, someone who believes there is no god, And I also find myself to be a christian because I do believe there was a man named jesus who was a messenger. I often get called a witch or a mystic because I believe in the mystery and the magic of the universe, in which allows me to be more open to the struggles of others. I see myself as a pagan because I also feel that in the solitude of nature I hear god's voice, and I reply. I believe in Karma, and the manifestation of our own world with actions. I believe in metaphysics and how the body is no more than energy made up by molecules, and functions on chemicals. The point I am trying to make is that I see a little bit of myself in everyone, and I feel that in order to better know myself and god it is through the experiences of this realm that involves adversity from other people.
Is is not to hard to fathom that this is what

Is this the same? I read before that evalution was proven by bacteria evolving to resist antibioctics. So if a snake handler becomes immune to venom, is he evolving or adapting? And if someone took too many antibiotics, do they become immune to them or are they evolving?
