Acts 17:26-28

26From one man he made every nation of men, that they should


inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them

and the exact places where they should live. 27God did this so that

men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him,

though he is not far from each one of us.

Hmm. Well, I don't personally mean to annoy any Muslim here, but ask this question to try to better understand your beliefs so we can have greater tolerance between one another. I wanted to ask a question of my own, because I wanted to frame it in a respectful way.

At the moment, I my understanding of the Islamic faith is that it does believe that Jesus was a prophet, the human son of Joseph and Mary.

My question is regarding a word we use "Christ". According to Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament, page 672 from the original Koine Greek manuscripts of the Bible it means "Annointed". In the Bible, it is used w/ the prophet Moses, as well as other Kings of Israel. They were annointed. Moses, was the "Christ" or "annointed" one of God, the mericful at that time.

Is this something that you would agree with? In other words, given that definition, would you be able to say that yes, in that sense, Jesus was a Christ since you already believe him to be one of the prophets?

So many questions are answered by people telling us to trust in God. Why do people believe in this stuff? What evidence is there?

If I was to say the woman next door is the living embodiment of the creator of all things is it any more unbelievable than saying the same thing about some bloke who died two millennia ago?

Nobody believes in Zeus, Apollo or any of the Roman or Greek gods any more, so why this one?

about a territorial leader from Russian history named Chamille or Shamile or something like that? He supposedly had made a law that anyone caught stealing would receive 100 lashes. The first one to be caught was his mother. She got 5, but he took the next 95.

“Quiverfull mothers” try to have UPWARDS of six children. They home-school their families, attend fundamentalist churches and follow biblical guidelines
of male headship and female submissiveness. THEY REFUSE ANY ATTEMPT TO REGULATE PREGNANCY.”[Ref. at: www.thenation.com/doc/20061127/joyce]
Contrast their viewpoint with the view that: " The global population is higher than the earth can sustain, says the Director of the British Antarctic Survey. Solving environmental problems such as climate change is going to be impossible without tackling the issue".( Ref: Professor Chris Rapley.Director of the British Antarctic Survey, based in Cambridge, UK)
Do these wannabe broodmares represent a danger to me and the the rest of society if their agenda becomes the latest religious in thing for Christians?
Who would have predicted the "Mega Church" THOUSANDS of members?
I've been asked in "Answers" as to "whether such "Quiverfull" breeding is
any of my business" Your opinion?
