I was accused of taking it out of context, called an idiot and was assured that I did not understand what I was reading.

I apologize for my error. Reading the Bible does not seem to satisfy some of you Christians.

What does the last verse mean? "He abides in us by the spirit"??

Isn't this a problem of reverse discrimination for those seeking help? "Failure by the psychiatric profession to recognize homosexuality as an unwanted condition for some, serves to discourage members of the mental health profession from offering treatment. Most harmfully, the client himself is disheartened, since the very profession to which he turns for help tells him that it is not a problem and he must accept it.
It is extremely demoralizing for a client to persist in attempting to overcome homosexuality when the psychological profession--which would administer treatment--insists he does not have a problem." How can a low cure rate justify silencing the APA through politics and threats of lawsuits? "Historically, the cure rate in the treatment of homosexuality has been modest. In those few studies that do claim success, the percentage of clients converted to heterosexuality runs from 15-30%, .."http://www.catholicsocialscientists.org/Symposium2--Nicolosi--mss.htm

There are so many more people in the world today, and we have satellites and stuff so everyone would get to watch the crucifixtion on TV. Wouldn't it have been great to see Jesus rise again live??? More people would have been convinced, and there would be more people turning to Christianity.

I've been researching different sects of Islam and am fascinated with the unity, love and peace that Sufis focuse on. Does anyone have any good books I can read about it? Or perhaps the philosophical/mystical aspect to Islam..? What are the main points of Sufism, how do you practice it etc? Please, no rude answers. Thanks.

it mean? To me campgrounds are places you go on family vacations in state parks and KOAs but I'm sure that isn't what Mahalia Jackson and Paul Robeson and their predecessors had in mind. Any clue what the word means in this context and its origin?

Why do people say that the devil is the root of all evil? The devil did not make man do anything. Man was provided with temptation and took this temptation and thus brought evil upon himself. People are not weak, so if you are Christian than why do you allow yourself to be tempted by the devil?

Isn't the true evil man created? The devil does not start wars, man does. The devil did not make this country unequal for minorities, man did. Why is everyone using the devil as an excuse for bad things that happen in our world?

Growing up white, you just hear that Malcolm X was radical and a great leader. I just now found out that he split from the Black Muslims and started his own group. I read somewhere that maybe the Black Muslims had him killed. I hate to be ignorant so I would like to further educate myself. Schools leave out way too much unless you want to know about white people.

I did, I saw the vidio of Sadam Hussein being executed. If reaslly freaked me out, expecially when they let the floor down so he could die. People were still yelling abuse at him when he was being hung, that was scary. I will not be watching it again. How did it affect you. I know he deserved it, but that was pretty freaky.

1st verse......"How great a love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God."

If I read that I find it confusing to believe that Jesus was the only son of God. How do you explain that verse?

Not many people died in Shia-Sunni fight in Iraq during Saddam's time.
Saddam was able to maintain law and order in Iraq even if it was by Sword. It does not matter as US kills Iraqi\uies in the same way as Saddam

Why do Muslims talk about the Crusades when talking about current events?

Israel and USA did not exist during the Crusades. Not a single person from the Crusades is alive today. Bush is not working for the Pope. Last time i checked the pope condemned both wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Bush is not converting Muslim to Jesus.

(PS Im Not a Christian)
