Santa would I get as many negitive responses as I get here for worshiping Jesus?

I find the trinity hard to believe being that it's not in the bible.
Does it even matter? Can I still be saved if I dont believe in the trinity? Is it a "maker or breaker", when it comes to salvation?

LONDON, Nov. 10 — Prime Minister Tony Blair said today that the threat from home-grown Islamic terrorism would last “a generation,” reinforcing a highly unusual warning by the head of the MI5 domestic intelligence agency that some 1,600 suspects in 200 terrorist cells were under surveillance. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/10/world/europe/11terrorcnd.html?ei=5094&en=f05d4de4520d8581&hp=&ex=1163221200&adxnnl=1&partner=homepage&adxnnlx=1163183121-eVTcmQ8+CprzbNrREAGp+Q

To those knee-jerk leftists who would respond to this query with political correctness: Tell me what your fear is about questions like this.

I mean, is it your naive belief that, so long as Americans have a simplistic and Disneyworld view of all religions or Islam in particular, everything will be fine and this Islamist terror threat will eventually go away like the malignant tumor you had an herblist treat with witches brew?

Like you, I wish the world were just like a John Denver song...sadly I know its not.

what is your favorite bible quote (please post) and why?

2006-11-10 05:32:59 · 13 answers · asked by Anonymous

It's all about love, about a love so great that the Son of God left His Father's presence to enter this evil world and die a very painful death for us. It's teaches about forgiveness, and praying for others even when they are cruel to you. How is that bad? You cannot deny that love and forgiveness is a good thing. And it teaches against sin, against lying, murdering, stealing, etc, etc... And you can't tell me that those things are bad. So what is so bad about christianity? What do you see in it that is wrong?

The Romans did some great constructive things. They were an imaginative bunch. And they were also the masters of some rather suspect practises, weren't they?

as a Jewish person I believe the prophecies that led to Jesus as our messiah-and He said he would send things and do miracles-in Acts chapter 1 he told about them what does it say about how he will return-clue Zechariah 12 vs 10 and Acts chapter 1 verse 11

Zechariah says "When we shall see him whom we have pierced, we will mourn as a mom for her only lost son."
Acts 1:11 "As you have seen Him go into heaven so shall We see him coming back from the clouds....

how will we know its him -many today say they are Jesus the Jewish messiah--but werent born in Bethlehem Micah 5:1 from eternity,

and did they come from the sky? how do we know who the Messiah Jesus is

Serious question. What is the best way for a business to handle business dealings with a church? For example, say I got in some repairs from a church this week and don't feel right charging them for my services. Should I do the work for free or charge them my normal rate? What should a religious person do in such a situation?

Question is open to all serious answers. Thanks in advance.

Here is a comment re. that "horse series" evolution found in most Biology books.

FEAR TO SPEAK—Even though scientists may personally doubt evolutionary theory and the evidence for it, yet publicly they fear to tell the facts, lest it recoil on their own salaried positions. One fossil expert, when cornered publicly, hedged by saying the horse series "was the best available example of a transitional sequence." We agree that it is the best available example. But it is a devastating fact that the best available example is a carefully fabricated fake.
"Dr. Eldredge [curator of the Department of Invertebrates of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City] called the textbook characterization of the horse series ‘lamentable.’
"When scientists speak in their offices or behind closed doors, they frequently make candid statements that sharply conflict with statements they make for public consumption before the media.

If I stole a gold candle-stick from a church, theoretically speaking of course, and I now felt guilty about it ( not that I do of course - cos I didn't steal it. ), should I just keep it or confess to Rev. Jones about it and ask for his forgiveness ? ( Not that I need to be forgiven cos I didn't do anything ) all theoretically speaking of course.

I was raised without religion (two atheist parents), but I want to get into it now, at age 14. Just got a copy of the Bible from a friend, but the writing is kind of dense, and there are parts I'm confused about. I really want to get familiar with the Bible, what should I do?

Also, are there Bible-for-kids kind of thing, or a Bible written in very simple terms? Would it be weird for me, at age 14, to read a Bible written for children?

Please advise!

Would it be wrong to revert back to it today? Do you think its evil? What does this say about Christianity? If Christianity was never introduced to our ancestors, we'd, more than likely, be practicing it today.

Your thoughts?

BTW - NO, I do not practice voodoo. It was just a thought.

There are actually supposed to be 12 million Christians in the middle East right now, but they were all killed off. First there was the Assyrian massacre, and then the Armenian one. There are 12 million Armenians and Assyrians in the world today. Also, about 165,000 people are killed every year for there faith in Christ. What is to be done about this?

Boy these people have 'purpose' dont they. Im so impressed with there reason for living and striving. How sexy it is to have an enemy. In fact, what could be more seductive to a younger man, who is denied sexual access (Islamic culture) otherwise and is just brimming with pent-up testosterone punped rage for the 'enemy' hes been told to hate since birth. Ah yes, what a great religion that one is...so neat.
