Religion & Spirituality - 7 June 2007

but studied, researched and discussed, since it's a factual process?

What really requires extraordinary evidence is your extraordinary claim of "intelligent design", and, mark me, it must be solid, plausible and test-proof evidence, not a lame banana theory.

Unreadably-long strands of copy/paste scripture don't count as evidence. Words are dirt-cheap. (especially those coming from a lame book like the Bible)

So, we're still waiting for it. TIC TOC TIC TOC.

WARNING: BY saying "look at the ocean, the mountains, a flower or a baby smile", you're just throwing another spadeful of dirt behind your backs, in digging the grave for your baseless belief. Those things can be easily explained by science alone.

Or, at least, it's not as big a priority as ending abortion.

Check out this press release from Rock for Life, affiliated with the American Life League. a Catholic pro-life group. They *demonstrated against* a moderate-to-liberal Christian conference and march against poverty!:

"It is shameful that Christians would rally around the physical needs of the poor and ignore the deaths of untold millions of babies."--Eric Whittington, youth outreach director.

Pop quiz--which issue did Jesus his very own self address more, poverty or abortion?

And which is cheaper, an abortion or raising a child?

Almost makes me embarrassed to be pro-life.

Brother Cannon remarked that people wondered how many wives and children I had. He may inform them that I shall have wives and children by the million, and glory, and riches, and power, and dominion, and kingdom after kingdom, and reign triumphantly.

Brother George A. Smith has been reading a little out of the revelation concerning celestial marriage, and I want to say to my sisters that if you lift you heels against this revelation, and say that you would obliterate it, and put it out of existence if you had the power to nullify and destroy it, I say that if you imbibe that spirit and feeling, you will go to hell, just as sure as you are living women.

For example, when I take my walk, I walk by the pond next to what I call "The Gay Mallard Club" LOL. I don't know for sure if these ducks are gay but there are 6 male ducks that are always together. Sometimes they're paired up, snuggling next to each other.

My point is, whether these ducks are actually gay or not, there ARE gay animals, scientists have found many. So, how do you deny that being gay is a natural occurrance in nature? Should we be witnessing to the gay ducks, then? LOL

We have at times sent men on missions to get rid of them; but they have generally come back. Some think it is an imposition upon the world to send such men among them. But which is best—to keep them here to pollute others, or to send them where pollution is more prevalent?

Just wondering

I as a Jew never promised but when Jesus showed me he still loved me I let him into my heart to be my best friend and savior=and have never been sorry about it!

you will never be let down by Jesus= I prayed-Jesus, I am sorry I have let you down-even with one lie, come into my heart and help me do better, be my friend, amen.
in amazing grace that saved me Revelation 3 (verses 19&20) He loves each of us & knocks on our heart door to come in and forgive sin when we repent-even of one lie, and Jesus says then I will begin a fellowship with you as my friend, when you ask me in. praying for you, David

Verse nine refers to the Assumption of Moses, a book that is considered fake by the Church.

Verses 14-15 quote directly from the Book of Enoch, which is considered a fake by everyone except the Ethiopian Church.

It appears that the early Church was inundated with false prophecy and Apocryphal literature, and unable to differentiate between the fakes and the 'inspired'.

Any explanation for the confusion, Christians?

I see many questions and answers indicating that someone is trying to "silence" Christianity, however society is actually trying to allow all the minority religions a fair voice. Do you have a problem with protecting the religious freedom of ALL religions? Shouldn't the government be impartial? Is it really persecution to simply discontinue promotion of Christianity by the government in favor of a religion neutral government?

Just thought I'd see what you guys think.

I felt sooo awful & today the terrorist capture people & leave signs of torture. So?

My prayer is that there is an international (in all nations) hotline number that victims or those who know about victims can freely call & let us know who is torturing people & where they are.

Is this possible to do. Through satalite?

There needs to be an international army to help the victims of unwarrented imprisonment & torture. That also is freedom of religion where people can't be put to prison, torture & death for their faith.

Can we accomplish this somehow?

How I long to soothe that pain
And bridge the gaps that separate.
Such a sweet and caring heart
To come out of all that hate.
I would gladly take her pain
But all I can do is care.
All I am able to do for her
Is listen and be there.
Do we ever know the harm we cause
By our selfish and unthinking acts?
When will we reallize we are not alone.
We are connected face the facts.
She is loving caring heart
Too precious to be treated this way.
Why can they not see the truth?
Their selfishness has pushed her away.
If you are reading this.
I think you will now who you are.
Be who you are no matter their hate.
Shine as a loving star.
You are as sweet as the fragrant flower.
You have as your name.
So be yourself dear Jasmine.
And put them all to shame.

Wherever I go I see that fish. Just about every car here had one and now I see it on signs advertising businesses. What do they think I am going to use them because they say they are Christian? If you have to tell people your Christian how Christian are you?
