I often see preachers using fear mongering to try to sway the people to follow them. However I find this to be very unnerving. I do not mind religion at all, or what people believe in, but this is extremism.

For example I recently got a flyer from a Jehovah's Witness preacher saying that a "nuclear baby" is coming. It implies that nuclear war is coming, and also implies that somehow becoming a Jehovah's Witness will lead to some form of salvation. I find this to be just a tad much.

What can be done in such cases? Should nothing be done? Is it wrong for them to use fear to influence people?

If I ask a question,
I lose five points,
if you answer this question you gain two points,
if I pick best answer, I get three points,
if you get picked best answer, you get ten points.

What have you got to lose, answering this question only gains you two points,

right?

Firstly with proof Hinduism is the oldest religion in the World.
The earliest evidence for elements of Hinduism dates back as far as the late neolithic, to the early Harappan period (ca. 5500–3300 BCE). The beliefs and practices of the pre-classical era (ca. 1500-500 BCE) are called the "Vedic religion". The oldest surviving text of Hinduism is the Rigveda, which is dated to between 1700–1100 BCE based on linguistic and philological evidence.

2,023 BC. Hinduism
1,785 BC. Judaism-Abraham
610 AD.- Islam- Mohammed
560 BC. Buddhism- Gautama Buddha
30 AD. Christianity –Jesus Christ

The ancient scriptures found under Hinduism were accurate, considered by experts to be more accurate the Greek text, and all evidence was later found, e.g under water cities.
Hindus do accept JESUS but it must be said that Jesus did not say he was god, but the son of god i.e (messenger) like "sathya Sai Baba". It must be clarified that Hindus ARE NOT Muslims, as they have completely rules, traditions, beliefs.

Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Mat 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Rev 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Let me ask this question in a better way because I was obviously askew. The terror groups are proclaimed Muslums. They are committing atrocities on innocent people. In Christianity there is a belief you will suffer and pay for evils deeds with the concepts of hell, do unto others Golden Rule, and others. Buddhism has Karma as the rule for evil ddeds coming back on the doer.
Do Muslums have a similar recompense?
And please, don't call me names about this. I am only trying to understand why the Muslums in the world aren't outraged by these actions and doing something about these people? Why does the Muslum countries protect these groups and provide refuge for them?

Joseph was sold by his brothers to Egypt and became the governor. but at the end he told his brothers, (Gen. 45:5) "And now do not be distressed, or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserved life" I mean its bad to sell your brother but this done because God allows it right?
Moses killed an Egyptian because he saw that the man is beating a Hebrew. I know that the action of the Egyptian is wrong but its not that you have to kill him. I mean he looked around...seeing nobody...he kill the guy and hid him in the sand. And this is the same guy that God asked to free his people from Egypt? Can you help me clear my mind on this?

In January and November 2006, I went to London, England.

More people attend Mosques in England – than Attend Christian Churches! And – WE – here in America – are not – Far Behind THEM!

The week I was there in London England: their Courts overturned - a parental notification for the abortion of a baby of a 13-year old girl! The Parents lost their right for the health care of their child! What is next?

That same week: there was a Massive Effort - 'to save a whale' - that swam up the Thames! "Kill the Baby - and Save the Whale?" By the way, the whale - died!

SURELY: GOD made a statement - TO SHOW US WHAT -WE- REALLY - HOLD IMPORTANT?

Is Religious Freedom = Really Freedom?

In the Bible we are told to give God the glory for all things. It seems that Jesus always glorified his GOd or Father when he did things .... saying .... he was only given authority given to him ....

So ..... was Jesus glorifying God or himself ???
