I 've always liked orlando jones (evolution,drumline,osmosis jones) until i rented primeval where he said "slavery was a good thing anything to get out of africa" . this is exactly the new spin racism that should be avoided. there is no psychic refuge for the atrocities of slavery but sure enough they try to convince you their forefathers did you a favor .while also erasing all historic guilt for themselves. I would quit before ever saying those assinine words. any thoughts

Quran was sent to mankind, as mentioned in 18:4-5 it was sent to warn the Christians of a terrible punishment from God if they cease not in saying: "Allah has begotten a son."
Muslims sincerely believe that everything Jesus (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) preached was from God; the Gospel (Injeel): The "good news" and the guidance of God for the Children of Israel. There is no place mentioned in the present four Gospels that Jesus wrote a single word of his Gospel, nor is it mentioned that Jesus instructed anyone to do so. What passes off, as the "Gospels" today are the works of third party human hands. The Quran 2:79 says:
"And woe to those who write the book with their own hands and they say: "This is from Allah (God)." To traffic with it for a miserable price! So woe to them for what their hands do write, and woe to them for what they earn thereby!"

You are not far from the Kingdom of God.

Do you: believe if you perform good works you are rewarded threefold? Accept suffering for a spiritual purpose? Believe there are spiritual powers greater than you? Find rest or peace in the spirit world? Seek knowlege of yourself, others and the world through the spirit world? Believe you can influence the spiritual and corporal world? Believe that with only a very small faith you can influence healing, the weather, and faith of others?

Christ wants us to believe these things too. I tell you, you will do even more as a Christian. A scribe once said that loving God and one's neighbor are the greatest commandments. Jesus told the scribe, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." Mk12:18-34

After all of the leaps of faith you have made (most of what you believe in is "loving you neighbor") what leap of faith is left for you?

Believe in and love the one I AM with all your might. C'mon leap!

Yours more than you know, Grace

I was in church last night and my pastor was preaching on "PRAYER", he was telling us how people pray and pray and pray, and ask and ask and ask, God for everything! But what about the things he's already given us????? I mean.......come on! We pray....." Lord please give me those shoes I saw yesterday Lord...... they would fit perfectly and look so nice." But what about the shoes you have???????? at least they keep your feet covered! This isn't about shoes.......it's about really thanking God for eveything! It says in I Corinthians 15:57 " But Thanks be untoGod,which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." It also says in Ephesians 5:20," Giving Thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."

KJV.
here is one of my favorite verses.
Luke11:10, " For everyone that asketh receiveth;and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Who woulda honestly thought that maybe there's actually religion outside of the US?Although i can only really speak for Canada, but i just think it's unfair that alot of the judgments from Atheists on here come from the Christians there.

Christians are in no way causing problems for our society, government or anything to say the least... if anything they're making our economy better. In fact our catholic schools have the highest grade point averages with the lowest percent of drop outs... and we are required to take 4 years of science so we do know our facts concerning evolution especially.

I'm just sayin it's surprising to hear that the States has all these issues but why can't most of you accept the fact that not ALL Christians EVERYWHERE are like that?

I do not understand why don't you choose to accept the gift of Jesus and spare to yourself eternal damnation,torture and fire. Why do you do this to yourself? Jesus loves you and is giving you a choice not to go to hell, choose Jesus and get saved.

And what is the point of seeking god. I saw someone answer a question with 'Seek god and everything will be revealed to you'

Most of the world has been wasting their lives seeking god and they still can't find him.

Are you for the death penalty? Do you feel that American society must do more for the homeless, for the poor, for working men and women living below the poverty line? Are you against a higher minimus wage? Are you against affirmative action? Do you believe racial and class prejudice still exist in the USA?

Please, I'm not trying to piss anyone off, but I'm serious.

Logically, if there is no G-d, there is no such thing as good and evil right? I mean, who decides what is good and what is bad if it is not G-d?

I'll admit it would be possible for man to come up with some on his own. However, even though man might enforce rules, breaking those rules wouldn't necessarily be bad would it?

If you look at it this way, someone like Hitler and Mother Theresa could be considered the same, which is a rather disgusting thought.

Omniscient means "all knowing", which means God knows exactly what you look like from all angles for every moment of your life. So God is infinitely worse than a lone peeping tom, since God sees you from every possible angle when you make love.

If you see something wrong with my logic, then please explain what is wrong. "Nuh-uh" is not going to cut it. Arguing that God is not omniscient is not going to cut it. I am assuming God is omniscient here.

How do we know the difference between belief from truth? How do we separate current beliefs from historical distortions? I think this is the jest of the two thoughts. Any comments?

A man having sex with another man can not create a child. A woman having sex with another woman can not create a child. Technically speaking sexual intercourse can only be defined as an act between a man and a woman. So homosexual couples expect a NORMAL straight couple to have a baby for them? OH Come on!!! No homosexual is getting my wifes baby. Let's say I had a daughter and she had an unplanned pregnance and gave up the baby for adoption. I would raise the baby myself before I let two homosexuals raise the baby.

The question was asked ealier if a Christian can be for the choice of abortion and gay marriage. Can a Christian be for ANY SIN without compromising their beliefs? Abortion is murder, that is a sin. Homosexuality is a sin. So what is next? Should a Christian support men who like to have sex with little kids? These people are out there so don't act like I am saying crazy things here. I would ask about the whole getting drunk thing but there are probably more closet alcoholics in chruches than you could imagine. Christians have already compromised so many beliefs. It seems to me that Christians don't emphasise the importance of boys and girls to abstain from sex until marriage. Have Christians given to the safe sex for teenagers idea? Christians what do you think?
