If I wash the dishes for you it would be senseless for you to wash them. Unless you just didn't think I prayed properly.

Genesis 11:4 - 5 God slaughters innocent children!
2 Kings 2:24 God kill 42 children!

Is it loving to kill innocent children? Is this a God worth loving?

"Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house, and thus put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts; see if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing."

Doesn't it say elsewhere NOT to test the Lord?

Suppose for a moment I get saved and believe in Jesus and eventually die and go to heaven...

I imagine myself having a conversation with God:

God, I'm here but I don't think I could ever be happy.

Why? says God

Because my I know my Mother, Father and Sisters are in Hell because they remained athiests and agnostics 'till their deaths.

They were all wonderful people who helped humanity all through their lives. They were kind and loving people, but were never convinced there was any evidence to believe in you (they did not know).

Ah!, says God, I am too Holy to have non-believers in my presence. That is why it must be this way.

Are you not God?, I say, why did you create things so? Why did you chose to create things this way?

Why didn't you just NOT create those souls, knowing that they would suffer?

I am not sure who will be in more pain... my family, or I - knowing that they will suffer forever.

Some Forgotten Sayings of Jesus>
Peace be Upon him

Anyone can call God "Father" according to the Bible:
"I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your
God." (John 20:17 RSV 1952)

Jesus, at the end of his mission, made it clear that God is not only his father, but father of all, and God of all, and even his own God whom he worshipped throughout his earthly career.

"We cry, Abba, Father." (Romans 8:15 KJV 1611)

Here the writer is Paul and he made it clear that anyone can address God as "Father." Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:

". . . Do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven." (Matthew 23:1,9 NIV 1984)

According to Matthew, Jesus taught everyone to call God 'Father'. He said to them: "This, then, is how you should pray: 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name . . .' " (Matthew 6:9 NIV)

"Should people cheat God? Yet you have cheated me! "But you ask, 'What do you mean? When did we ever cheat you?' "You have cheated me of the tithes and offerings due to me. You are under a curse, for your whole nation has been cheating me. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do," says the LORD Almighty, "I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Try it! Let me prove it to you! Your crops will be abundant, for I will guard them from insects and disease. Your grapes will not shrivel before they are ripe," says the LORD Almighty. (Malachi 3:8-11 NLT)

Sperm and egg never meet to create these embryos, they are created by injecting DNA from a tissue cell into an egg who's neucleus has been removed and then chemically stimulated to grow into a zygote. If implanted into a surrogate mother this zygote could mature into a child. What is the opinion of this sort of life? If it's not the product of a mother and a father is it still protected under the same ideals?

MY understanding is that the Islam faith holds Jesus in high esteem, as a prophet, a messenger of God, and the Quran also rerfers to the Gospel as holy scripture. My question is regarding the conflict there, since Jesus clearly spoke of himself as the Son of God, and claimed to be the Son of God.....why would Muslims hold Jesus in high regard as a prophet, if they believe he was lying about being the Son of God? And then the Gospel would seem to be full of lies as well, as they again and again declare Jesus as the Son of God, and the only way of salvation. The Gospels also clearly define a holy trinity, declaring that Jesus is the Word made flesh. So why would Muslims hold Jesus in high regard...if you believe He was lying about being the Son of God, wouldn't you call him a liar instead, and wouldn't you call the Gospels a lie as well? I'd really appreciate an explanation to this 'seemingly' contradictory part of the Muslim faith. Thank you

I hear so many Christians complaining that it's all about the money and commercialization at Christmas and Easter. But think about this: The Easter Bunny? Although Santa was based on a true person, He's still a fictional character.
If you don't want your kids to get absorbed in the commercialism, why even bother telling them about these characters and letting them believe for a even short while that they are real?
Isn't this just telling kids that it's okay to make up stories and lies?
I think the Jewish are smart to their kids how it really is.

All languages, alphabets, and codes that we know of, as well as the information spoken or written in them, originated in minds. The blind faith of the atheist that the first life was an exception is contrary to all known evidence. --Professor Werner Gitt

Information never happens apart from intelligence, yet cells contain huge amounts of information.I believe this is the most important single evidence that life came from the mind of an intelligent Creator rather than from dumb chemicals.
---De Duve, a Nobel Prize winning scientist

O.k.. so has anyone here read the Bible in Herbrew? If so what do you think of salvation in the spirit world? As we must take into accont that there are three diffreent words which are translanted in our English Bibles as either hell or the grave. The Hebrew word "Gehenna" is usually translated "Hell", meaning a fiery Hell, & the other word usually translated in the English as "grave" comes from two different words: The one in Hebrew "Sheol", & the other in Greek, "Hades". But neither one of the original words have the meaning of what we think of as a grave today--a hole in the ground! What both of them mean is: "Sheol"--the unseen state! "Hades"--the unseen state!--The Spirit World! = D ..I could tell you more but I don't want to "rant" if you want you can get my Q&A emil & I can tell you more..! So what do you think..??!!!!
Do you think it's possible? I mean IF the "spirit world" really does exist..= Z

I have read the verses in Quran that prohibits alcohol. For the same reason, shouldn't tobacco be prohibited? I have been to a couple of Muslim countries, and I was shocked to see everyone from kids to the elderly smoking....

Is there anyone who really believes TBN is for real? I have watched these fake preachers for years. If you didn't know any better you would think Jesus only came to give us a financial plan that involves give these theives your money.
Jesus NEVER taught what these people teach, nor did Paul or anyone else. I am amazed that people couild follow such false teachings with their itchy ears. Jesus was a POOR man, so was Paul...he even said he disired death at times. All the Apostles were poor people...with a message of gold..NEVER do we read what TBN and it's false teachers say is truth. They have done so much harm to Christanity by prostuting the message of Christ into a money scheme...it really makes me sick!

What's your thoughts?

I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and have had faith in God for many years but having gone through some really rough times in the last five yrs. or so I feel like I'm sort of prayed out. Sort of like my prayers are dry bits of meaningless chatter.
