Americans spend billions and billions trying to prevent Islamic terror when they could save the money and ban islam.

Freedom of religion has exceptions, but Americans won't include islam.

Americans endure time consuming islamic terror prevention saftey checks everywhere, but prefer it to screening muslims.

The very presence of islamic communities threatens the entire country...but we chose idealism over practicality.

This is insanity...plain and simple. Islam is easily the most violent belief system ever devised. More wars and holocausts can be attributed to jihad than anything else.

When people talk about evolution - it is automatically assumed that you do not believe in God or it is a debate between those who believe in God and those who do not. But Darwin himself believed in God - Here is a statement from Darwin: "Might not evolution itself be viewed as an instrument by which God has brought about, and is bringing about, his purpose for the cosmos?" F.R. Tennant took this further. So why does one get accused of being non spiritual when they believe in evolution?

I used to go to this christian church with about 3000 members. One of the main theme of the church is to plant churches all over the world. I thought that was good, until something made me wonder. I was uncomfortable with some of the church's teachings and decided to leave. After I left, some of the members, especially a certain leader who asked me to become a member of the church, grew cold and acted as if we were enemies. Therefore, my question is: Are they really more interested in getting more people to join so that they will become better-known and 'glamorous'?

U.S. Muslims call for 9/11/02 "Day of Unity and Prayer"
All faiths urged to open houses of worship for interfaith activities

A national American Muslim political council today announced a "National Day of Unity and Prayer" designed to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

The American Muslim Political Coordination Council (AMPCC), made up of the nation's four most prominent Muslim political advocacy groups,* called on all faith communities to participate in the national observance by opening houses of worship on September 11, 2002, for interfaith visits, prayers, congregational exchanges, and other activities intended to foster national unity and religious tolerance.

A web site will be established to allow local mosques, churches, synagogues, and other religious institutions to register their participation in the national event.

If they have the original sin, do they go to heaven?

If they go to heaven, will they know everything, unlike when they were a baby. Also when they get a new heavenly body(says that in the bible), would it be a baby body or an adult body

I was on a local news story when I was a kid - some of you may have heard, but I doubt it, it was long time ago - for having memorized the New Testament.

I've preached for over fourteen years to congregations all over the country.

I went back to school to get my PhD in Theology and I graduate in one year. But in my apologetics research (My thesis is titled, "An Exegetical Comparison Between Jesus of History and the Manuscript Tradition) I soon discovered that the manuscript tradition is plagued with problems (no originals, political interpolation, canonical discrepancies, etc.)

and the historical Jesus! My friends, I would be lying if I said there was even one reliable historical reference to the historical Jesus. I have exhausted every Historical relevant document, personally.

I cannot tell you all that I was shocked to discover, but this excerpt summarizes SOME of it:

Say you fall into a scenario where a LGBT person's life is in danger. Say the person is the same gender as you. The person is not breathing and you have the choice whether to give him/her CPR or not. You are the only other person around and there is not enough time to go and get help. Either let them die or save their life. Life or Death? Your choice.

Moral relativism is a contradiction in and of it self because it says that to judge a certain behavior as wrong is being intolerant, yet it's okay to demonize the people who are advocating a moral standard.

Someone look this up, I don't have a bible on me

"If men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage, yet there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband may demand of him, and he shall pay as the judges decide. 23 But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise." Ex. 21:22-25


Is this true?

I believe the Catholic Church is the Church of Revelations17. She is the whore of Babylon. Babylon always was known as Rome. Her character, location and world wide reach has identified her with Rome. She has changed the Bibical Sabbath from Saturday to Sunda y and most of the Christian World has followed her lead. They have wondered after the beast. She has Killed millions of Christians over the centuries. She has wiped out three people groups from the face of the Earth. The Mark of the beast is the acceptance of observing Sunday as the Sabbath. That is the Mark of her Authority. The Mark of the beast is NOT literal. It is the acceptance of this Church's authority to change laws without the support of Scripture. The truth is that many are deceived. But they do not know that they are deceived. Jesus said, "Many are called but FEW are chosen." That is a sad fact but way too true.

being spiritual and being religious? In your opinion which is healthier for mankind in the long run. This question is open to all but please do me a favor. Do NOT quote me Bible passages. I was a christian for 30yrs and attended private christian schools for three. I probably know as much as many of you do on how to use the bible to justify any answer I would give to anyone. I want to know what YOU have to say. Why YOU think one is healthier than the other. I don't want some biblical theology about it.

More than a month after terrorist attacks sent the United States into war against Middle Eastern terrorists who twist Islam to validate their perversions, Yee and military chaplains in general are playing increasingly important roles.

And in the first U.S. war with religious overtones, especially after calls by terrorists for "holy war" against the United States, Yee has become one of the most sought-after figures at the base, called upon to edify others about Islam and to elaborate on the relationship between soldiering and spirituality.

"Most people want to know how Sept. 11 fits into Islam," said Yee, 33, a former Lutheran who specialized in air artillery defense and was a Patriot missile fire control officer before becoming a chaplain.

"What happened is un-Islamic and categorically denied by a great majority of Muslim scholars around the world," he said of the terrorists who commandeered passenger jets and sl

I think it's because it takes your mind totally off yourself and places the power of your life into God's hands - like the worry is replaced with joy. Very wonderful experience.
