I have asked this because as you know Iran is developing nuclear weapons they want to use on Israel with the help of Russia. I found out today Israel has given America 6 months to attack Iran with Israel or they will go it alone according to Israel. What do you think of the outcome when that happens, and it will as Iran will not give up their nuclear ambitions, in which they bragged they will have a bomb by 2009, and they have also accelerated their programme recently. I think if Israel attack them in 6 or so months Iran will attack back with the help of other Arab Nations and the help of Russia. It looks like to me, the return of Jesus is not too far away. I think the prophecy in Ezikeil will trigger the antichrist to come out and sign a peace covernant which will be existing. Are you ready for the rapture? Do not give me crap about it is not scripture, it is. Sure the word is not in there, but being caught up, taken means the rapture. Remember in the book of Daniel the angel

I think it is because Islam is a saint religion so when a human deeply think about herself or himself he accepts the being of Allah that is why he becomes muslim.

Creationism comes from the Bible, a holy text to guide people in their faith. Evolution comes from hard, cold science. Wouldn't evolution then be considered knowledge instead of merely a belief?

What religion (if any) would deny the right to declare that it, itself, is bogus? Would that denial deny freedom of religion?

The Brick!!! Read It. Read this today and don't delete it if you are too busy!! You'll see. THE BRICK A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?" The young boy was apologetic. "Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do," He pleaded. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop...." With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. "It's my brother, "he said "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me." Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. "Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy! push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: "Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!" God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen or not. Thought for the Day: If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning Face it, friend - He is crazy about you! Send this to every "beautiful person" you wish to bless. God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow,sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. Read this line very slowly and let it sink in.... If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. Pass this message to seven people except you and me. You will receive a miracle tomorrow ( just do it)!

Jesus Christ plainly stated that He will drink wine, at the very least for Passover (which will still be observed in the future) i.e. "But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's Kingdom." (Matthew 26:29 KJV). Do the Scriptures also say that drunkards will be among those who will not be in the Kingdom of God?

If random energy were to cause order in the universe, why does entropy exist? The Laws of Thermodynamics (and particularly entropy) prohibit the possibility of the theory of evolution from being true (cf. ARN.org), as is becoming more and more apparent in scientific circles (especially in the different sub-disciplines of physics).

Someone with a bit of creativity propose a notion of origin?

I have my own ideas, but they are not for your consumption...

No Christians are allowed to answer this question with canned answers.

"My earlier views of the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures have become clearer and stronger with advancing years, and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them."

Man made laws and beliefs can be changed in time with persistence, time, and consistent complaint. I've seen this when it comes to sex, drugs, money, and many other things.

However, the Word of God does not budge, twist, or adjust itself for anyone, regardless of how unpopular it may be with the masses. People may try to twist the Word, but it remains the same year after year. Also, the author, God, is unphased by those who have rebuttals and philosophical arguments.

I think this is the real reason most people have an issue with the Bible and Belief in God. It is IMPOSSIBLE to be a Christian without giving up SOMETHING you enjoy, or changing something about your lifestyle. People resist change and resent correction.

Heb 13:8, God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Personally, the more the majority attempt to diminish the truth and worth of God's Word, the more convinced I am the Lord is the truth author. I don't understand why a Christian would argue with non-believers.

I heard that Pat Robertson prophecies the USA would have a major attack on its major cities in the second half of 2007? But if he is wrong? Wouldn’t that make him a false prophet and make more none believers have a stronger hatred for Christians? I don't like people who prophesy and are shown false, when in some cases they claim prophecy for their own gain, even god and Jesus don't like false prophets. I know there are true prophets? Where they are and who they are not always known, but when one speaks on TV, accountabilty is effected. What’s your opinion?

Please no haters of Christians to answer.
If you hate us then you really don’t understand why I am upset at all.
I love Christ & god the father and cant wait for his return, but I don’t like those who claim for their own gain and the ones that end up hurt are the true Christian believers and those who are trying to understand the Christian walk. Tragedy will happen; bible says so, when only god and Jesus know that answer.

Jews do not casually write any Name of God. This practice does not come from the commandment not to take the Lord's Name in vain, as many suppose. In Jewish thought, that commandment refers solely to oath-taking, and is a prohibition against swearing by God's Name falsely or frivolously (the word normally translated as "in vain" literally means "for falsehood").

Judaism does not prohibit writing the Name of God per se; it prohibits only erasing or defacing a Name of God. However, observant Jews avoid writing any Name of God casually because of the risk that the written Name might later be defaced, obliterated or destroyed accidentally or by one who does not know better.

The commandment not to erase or deface the name of God comes from Deut. 12:3. In that passage, the people are commanded that when they take over the promised land, they should destroy all things related to the idolatrous religions of that region, and should utterly destroy the names of the local deities. Immediately afterwards, we are commanded not to do the same to our God. From this, the rabbis inferred that we are commanded not to destroy any holy thing, and not to erase or deface a Name of God.

It is worth noting that this prohibition against erasing or defacing Names of God applies only to Names that are written in some kind of permanent form, and recent rabbinical decisions have held that writing on a computer is not a permanent form, thus it is not a violation to type God's Name into a computer and then backspace over it or cut and paste it, or copy and delete files with God's Name in them. However, once you print the document out, it becomes a permanent form. That is why observant Jews avoid writing a Name of God on web sites like this one or in newsgroup messages: because there is a risk that someone else will print it out and deface it.

Normally, we avoid writing the Name by substituting letters or syllables, for example, writing "G-d" instead of "God." In addition, the number 15, which would ordinarily be written in Hebrew as Yod-Heh (10-5), is normally written as Tet-Vav (9-6), because Yod-Heh is a Name.

Why do they talk about ethics? Isn't becaue they really cannot live with or accept the truly logical conclusions of their madness?
Why do we protect the weak and care for the poor when no other animal does that?where are the hospitals in the jungle? and then you turn around and say ," we are no different from other animals", "we are not special", "we have the same ancestor as all" "we are only a little different", and you think you sound intelligent propounding such myths the greeks would be jealous. Isn't that proof that your nature is not what you say and pretend it is, but only do so because you can, it is an exertion of free will , the dominance of the will, and deny God, because that makes you feel powerful ?

Its true. And I know you say you don't believe that, but I mean it with all my heart. He desires you more than He does me.

Christians, lets watch how we speak to the (potential) future of repentance and salvation. Speak in love or not at all. They have seen enough hypocrites. And I repent for anything offensive I have ever said to you all, sincerely.
