My friend from Pakistan abandoned Islam. He spent 8 years in Pakistan memorizing Koran, noting more in his education. Then he went to Egypt to study Physics. His reason given is the Koran tells a preson what to do and when to do it. According to him even when and how to go to the bathroom. This stifles creativity, creates a poor society, and favors the clerics as the "boss" over society. He thinks it time the Muslems do the same or remain poor while such people as Indians, Chinese, and the rest become prosperous. Telling people exactly what to do in the Koran is his reason.

I am a new Christian and I respect other religions. I don't believe Christianity is the only way of salvation. All roads lead to Rome. Good guys go to heaven.(including atheists who deny the existence of heaven) Bad guys don't. It doesn't matter they are Christians or not.

If you go to a non-Christian country, do you want to be accepted and respected, or you want to be viewed as a person with low moral standands (unsaved sinful person)?
In another word, do you want non-Christians to believe "All roads lead to Rome?" Do you want them to deny the value of Christianity in the same way you deny other religions ?

Tell us about your Church experience today. I didn't get out today. I spent the day working on my ministry web site. I think it was time well spent. I missed the music and my friends and the preaching/teaching.

How did it go for you today?

Now Derek Acorah has been proved a fake why do people believe in such silly drivel. My brother met him and he told him a load of lies so I had my doubts yet never knew just how fake he was. I realise there are some desperate people finding it hard to accept loss and I think its disgusting to con people who are vulnerable at these times. My mate was psychic and had visions of things that came true yet he had may be 2 visions a year and didn`t make up nonsense every week on a stage to make money may be thats because he wasn`t fake

I've got my New King James Version here, do I need to look it up on Biblegateway in the King James Version?

Does the KJV say in one of those verses two men can't marry one another? Or the NIV?

Is it verse 7? Verse 8?

we need to pray with earnest and unselfish prayers, not always asking for only our desires, but that the will of God be done according to our real needs instead of our wants. often we only focus on what we want and think we should ask for us ..this to my opinion is often one of our sins as christians not praying for the right things and rembering others who have special needs..

i dont understand, say i die, and i go to heaven, what then is there cable in heaven??? is there icecrea, greys anatomy? ido we just sit on clouds all day , i dont think so, also if a baby dies what does it do in heaven for all of eternity.??? and think about how many ppl have died, isnt it a little ridiculous to say souls keep adding up in heaven?? i believe after we die our sould are recyleced and we become babies again. That ultimately makes sense to me since every person has their own defintiton of heaven so it wouln't make sense that htere is only one heaven for everyone@@!!!!!

Chapter and Verse

I have read the lev 18.22 and 1 cor 6.9, but no where in those verses does it say gays can't get married to each other does it? is it in that romans 1:28-31? Don't see it there either?

Is there any verse that says gay people can't marry one another?

It seems that religion requires that you believe before you can see what it calls truth. Do you find this to be true?

Isn't it our own hand that adminsters the wrath upon others? Is it not our own brethren that persecute each other, in the name of God, or the lack of God?

Why bother with these things? If it is our soul that is to be tasted, and judged by God, aren't our own actions of fury direct violations just plain blasphemy of God?

It was not. Most of the founding fathers were deists.

Treaty of Tripoli: "The United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."

Repeating lies won't make them true, nor does it make you look smart.

Psalm 148 commands all of creation to praise the Lord, including the animals: "Wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds, kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth, young men and maidens, old men and children. Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens" (vv. 10-13). If in some sense fallen animals, shadows of what they once were, can praise God on this fallen Earth, how much more should we expect them to do so on the New Earth? "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord" (Psalm 150:6). Since animals are said to have breath, they are included among those directed to praise God
