then doesn't it invalidate the entire New Testmaent? Wouldn't that mean that the New Testament would be considered just another worthless religious text, comparable to the Book of Mormom and Dianetics?

I've been studying Wicca for a few years now and I feel like I still have so much to learn. While I think that self-initiation is fine if that's what you prefer, I would feel better if I were initiated by someone else. What I would really like is to join a coven. Are there any covens out there who are willing to take in one more member?

I just found a tablet that has, in a strange language, "YOG-SOTOTH IS THE GATE AND THE KEY." Then all the stars changed position, and now horrible monsters are attacking my neighbor hood! What would Jesus do?

You say your God knows all, so before creating Adam and Eve he knew they would sin, and in turn on Judgement Day Billions of people would be sent to hell and would get tortured for the rest of eternity.(many peaceful people are not Christians eg. 1 Billion Hindus, 600 million + Buddhists etc.)
So is your God such a entity who knows that at some point Of time would create a creation Whose many(billions) of Sons he knows in advance will suffer eternal pain.
Would he create a creation for whom he knows
one day his own son jesus will suffer very much.

No human father would create a robot if he knew in advance that the Robot would torture his son.
Why Not Create A Creation Which Was As Perfect As Him (GOD)

Atleast I know that no kind human being if granted the ability to create would create a creation whom he knows he would have to torture in the future.
Kind Parents punish their children again and again when they make mistakes and do not allow them Free will to commit sin for his entire Life and in the end throw them into a pit of fire.

In genesis 1 29-31 it says that God gave man every herb, grass, cattle, everything to rule over.

I can quote, if you wish, but this is easier.

So, if God gave us freedom over everything, then why are "natrual drugs (dope, opium, and other grown drugs) looked down on?

God gave them to us..why has he all of a sudden, made it a sin for us to use?

Please support your answers with bible verses, not your churchs rules and morality...

Qurna is one and the same universally and obviously free from all kind of ambiguity and vaguness.

Let me know if there is any religious book without ambiguity and vaguness?

Christian Fundamentalism

Examining religion's affect on the political administration of the state, it can be seen that underlying all is a Christian fundamentalism, driven variously by Baptist, Methodist and charismatic movements originating in the well-known Southern evangelicalism that has so influenced George W. Bush and Condoleezza Rice. This is why so many political statements seem more akin to sermons, abounding in the Manichaean rhetoric of "good" vs. "evil" and the "crusades" for liberty, Western-style democracy and a laissez-faire economy, with the typical hyperbolic benediction: "God bless America!"

Jesus is the name of the physical body that contained the Spirit of God. Therefore, Jesus is God.

When you say you have bought a box of chocolates, does it mean your box is made of chocolates???

No. It means what is inside is chocolate. Can the box be eaten? No. Can the chocolates be eaten? Yes. Likewise, can Jesus be killed? Yes. Can God-the-spirit inside the body of Jesus be killed? No.

Jesus is an english word. The Hebrew word is Yah-shuah.

Jehovah is ALSO an english word. The Hebrew word is Yah-weh.

Jesus says His name was given by God. Yah being the central. The name of God is Yah-weh. Jesus is His only begotten Son.

If you don't understand this basic concept, you will perpetually be stuck in islam or atheism.

Some people deserve to suffer. But why is it that those who do good ends up being treated unjustly. Don't you think that God was being unfair?

I am Canadian, and moved to USA year and a half ago, while i was in Canada i read many articles how americans always are racist to anyone that wears a turban thinking they are muslim.

But what i dont get is, 99% of people that do wear turbans are Sikhs (Religion created from Hinduism) which well pretty much hate muslims. 9/11 was like 6 years ago havent Americans already learned that most people that wear turbans arent muslim? Dont americans learn about religion in school or something. So why do they think people that wear turbans are musim?
