I find it fascinating that Christians should choose their particular religion while there are other religions that logically are far more credible.
Look at kabbalah or Judaism,christianity is only alive and well because political motivations have given it rise.Why would you surmise that Jesus is god when the Q'RAN says otherwise.
You christians are a feisty lot that breeds intolerance into the very depths of humanity.I look forward to the day when Christianity is abolished and people shine with glee over science.
Please submit to me my required respect as I have only showed you your do respect.Don't be a hypocrite!
Your bible cleary says you must turn the other cheek from your non-believers.

In the Bible Jesus (pbuh) admits he doesn't even know the day of Judgement: Mark 13:32 and Matt. 24:36

Furthermore he cannot even do anything from himself: John 5:30-32

Not only does he not claim divinity, he is humble enough to refuse to be called 'Good': Mark 10:18

So what kind of God is it you worship that is not Good, does not know the Hour, and can't do anything by himself?

he would be dishonoring his Mother to do otherwise if he was not making a point. Can you see this connection?

This is too much pressure, my feet are killing me, I've been cooking in my pumps all night. Do you have to do this every Thanksgiving too. And what's worse is that my family gets all drunk and start fighting. I don't want them to break my Expensive Crystal.

From the beginning, Christians were subject to various persecutions. This involved even death for Christians such as Stephen and James the brother of John. Saul, who later converted to Christianity and is best known as Paul of Tarsus, the "Apostle to the Gentiles", was a vigorous agent in the persecution by the Jerusalem authorities, having been present at the stoning of Stephen and approving it.

**Larger-scale persecutions** followed at the hands of the authorities of the Roman Empire, beginning with the year 64, when, as reported by the Roman historian Tacitus, the Emperor Nero blamed them for that year's great Fire of Rome. In spite of these at-times intense persecutions, the Christian religion continued its spread throughout the Mediterranean Basin.

I know I'm tired of being blamed for WW2 etc.

Who is to blame for this? Someoene didnt want Christianity to happen. Do you really go to this extreme to cover up a myth?
Do people willingly die for a cause that is false?

your name loud enough fo you to hear? Would you freak out of what? I am not crazy, nor on drugs? -the voice was soft and humble- I just got scared and freak out, and ran to get away from it. (into another room) who do you think this was? I am serious, I got pregnant with my son maybe 5 to 6 months later......

Slavery in the bible

What does the Bible say about beating slaves? It says you can beat both male and female slaves with a rod so hard that as long as they don't die right away you are cleared of any wrong doing.

When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)

You would think that Jesus and the New Testament would have a different view of slavery, but slavery is still approved of in the New Testament, as the following passages show.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)

YOU ASK WHY I FOLLOW THIS JESUS?

You ask why I follow this Jesus?
Why I love Him the way I do?
When the world's turned away from His teachings
And the people who serve Him are few.

It's not the rewards I'm after
Or gifts that I hope to receive
It's the Presence that calls for commitment
It's the Spirit I trust and believe.

The Lord doesn't shelter His faithful
Or spare them all suffering and pain,
Like everyone else I have burdens,
And walk through my share of rain.

Yet He gives me a plan and a purpose,
And that joy only Christians have known,
I never know what comes tomorrow,
But I do know I'm never alone.

It's the love always there when you need it;
It's the words that redeem and inspire,
It's the longing to ever be with Him
That burns in my heart like a fire.

So you ask why I love my Lord Jesus?
Well, friend, that's so easy to see,
But the one thing that fills me with wonder is
Why Jesus loves someone like me.

We did. And now we're going to invite another. Sharing what we have with others feels so good, it's almost selfish.

Besides your food, you'd be sharing your love.

More and more of our youth are becoming overwhelmingly obese. Sadly there are already groups that say that God hates <>… groups. So sad!!! Isn't it ironic that eventually these poor people will be persecuted as well? What does that say about the groups that are currently persecuted?

Jesus (pbuh) cannot be GOD and the SON OF GOD at the same time.

In christiendom the majority of the answers i have recieved reguarding Jesus (pbuh) is contradictory.

You cannot be a Father and the Son of your self at the same time.

So please try to be clear, do you believe he is GOD or the SON GOD?
