The ten commandments state that we are to Keep the Sabath holy. Jesus said not one letter of the law shall parish until heven and earth have been destroyed. So why do christians most christians count sunday as being the Sabath?

Did I not tell you earlier that a Jew is such a noble, precious jewel that God and all the angels dance when he farts?---Martin Luther (On the Jews and Their Lies)

“What then shall we Christians do with this damned, rejected race of Jews?
First, their synagogues should be set on fire, and whatever does not burn up should be covered or spread over with dirt so that no one may ever be able to see a cinder or stone of it. And this ought to be done for the honour of God and of Christianity, in order that God may see that we are true Christians.
Secondly, their homes should be likewise broken down and destroyed.
Thirdly, they should be deprived of their prayerbooks and talmuds in which such idolatry, lies, cursing and blasphemy are taught.
Fourthly, their rabbis must be forbidden under threats of death to teach anymore.” – Martin Luther

“If I find a Jew to baptize, I shall lead him to the Elbe bridge, hang a stone around his neck, and push him into the water, baptizing him with the name of Avraham!.. I cannot convert the Jews. Our lord Christ did not succeed in doing so; but I can close their mouths so that there will be nothing for them to do but to lie upon the ground.” – Martin Luther

“I hope I shall never be so stupid as to be circumcised; I would rather cut off the left breast of my Catherine and of all women.” --- Martin Luther

“If we are to remain unsullied by the blasphemy of the Jews and not wish to take part in it, we must be separated from them and they must be driven out of the country.” – Martin Luther

Jesus did not call them Abraham's children, but a "brood of vipers" [Matt. 3:7]. Oh, that was too insulting for the noble blood and race of Israel, and they declared, "He has a demon' [Matt 11:18]. Our Lord also calls them a "brood of vipers"; furthermore in John 8 [:39,44] he states: "If you were Abraham's children ye would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil. It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham's but the devil's children, nor can they bear to hear this today.------Martin Luther

Learn from this, dear Christian, what you are doing if you permit the blind Jews to mislead you. Then the saying will truly apply, "When a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into the pit" [cf. Luke 6:39]. You cannot learn anything from them except how to misunderstand the divine commandments...------Martin Luther

2007-05-21 22:03:04 · 20 answers · asked by Anonymous

I come from a christian background and believe that God is my Lord and my Saviour. Believe me, my believes and my faith in God has help me a great deal. Unlike my husband, if i have a problem, i pray to God and he relieves me from all my worries. I always ramain positive in all i do while my husband is paranoid, always negative about things. Its so difficult to be with someone who is not in the same believes as you are. How ever i believe that one day he will come around. Does anyone has any idea on what to do? I know patience and constant prayers will do. But your ideas will be very welcomed.

Thanks in Advance.

1. What's your (general) opinion of Christians?

2. What's your opinion of God?

3. What would it take to change that?

4. Who was the first person who told you about Christianity, and how?

5. What's the number one turnoff when it comes to Christians?

Among other End of the World hints, such as the Mayan calendar ending in 2012, and other prophecies it seems that the Prophecy of the Popes listed this Pope 111 De Gloria Olivae which means "glory of the olive", and the Pope chose Benedict has his papal name and Saint Benedict is directly connected to the Olivites and olive.

After 111 it is said the "n extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations; when they are over, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the terrible or fearsome Judge will judge his people. The End"

But most believe this prophecy was added at a later date, and 111 is the last Pope (current).

It seems many "End of the world prophecies", even those made hundreds of years ago, are converging in this age. Is it just because they foresaw this time as passing 2000 years and could not forsee us survivng so long, or is there something to it?

Athiesm is sky rocketting........

The more Christians try to explain the Trinity concept and the bible contradictions the faster athiesm spreads.

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice, says: "Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: "OK, now what?"



are you laughing?

I mean, why cant we just learn to be good, righteous, happy people without needing the supposed everwatchful eye of god looking down on us and condemning us to the lake of fire if we do something bad?

Are we that inherantly evil that we need religeon and a set of rules to follow, just to do the right thing?

When will we learn to just be good without god?

Then maybe talk a little evolution and pictures of stars being born in a nebula. God I guess forgot to turn off the creation switch ey?

Paul included the following: the Roman sun-day as the Christian Sabbath; the traditional birthday of the Sun-god as the birthday of Jesus; the emblem of the sun-god (the cross of light) to be the emblem of Christians; and, the incorporation of all the ceremonies which were performed at the Sun-god’s birthday celebrations.

Ok, hopefully you get the idea.Some Christians deny that Christianity is the most advertised religion in the west.Why do they deny the obvious?Or try to claim that only Mormons and Jehovah's wittnesses do that?Are those that deny that Christianity is a highly pushed belief in denial?

What if god really is the devil? and they battled at some point in time but the devil won and is now just trying to confuse everyone with the bible. and thats why he makes everyone follow strict rules and left so many contradictions and illogic like that in the bible.

i hope you guys can step back for a second and answer this one hypothetically.

I see a lot of Christians complaining how their particular god is being bashed more than other gods.

I've never seen it, but if they feel it like that, I'd like to know what "bashing" is. Many religious people disagree with my atheism, but I've never felt "bashed". I simply understand they disagree, and I'm not that easily offended.

I also see many people disagree with Christianity. If I question the horrible concept of hell, people tell me to stop bashing. But I fail to see what "bashing" is. Is it anything more than disagreeing?

Or is it just that if people whine enough times about being 'bashed', that some people actually start to believe it to be true? Is a person that's easily offended more bashed than a laid back person, who doesn't take it all so seriously?

It's almost a guarantee- 'we do not worship Mary'!
Ok, but that's not what I asked. Why would one even attempt to communicate with the dead when the same book that catholic leadership says is the truth confirms that it is an abomination unto God (father of Jesus)- like homosexuality- but there is hesitation is saying 'homosexuality is an abomination unto God!'

I am not asking if you worship Mary, or any other dead person that cannot hear your prayers and does not even remember you. I am asking why are you seeking to communicate with the DEAD?

by the way- in the old testament did you know that God (the one true) ordered those who did this to be killed? do you think He likes it now?
