Isn't it funny how gays have all of a sudden changed their mind. Decades ago they were so anti marriage and were so against raising children because they saw those things that only hets should do but now all of a sudden they are wanting to get married and raise children.

Is this hypocrisy or what ? there is also one gay activist who was so anti marriage that he said that marriage is a het institution and he also said that by the year 2000 that marriage would no longer exist, well surprise surprise, not only was he wrong about marriage no longer existing but he now whats to marry his boyfriend.

Honestly alot of gays are such hypercrites, the only reason why gays are now wanting to marry and have children is so they can dominate and change the function of society, it's not equality the gay community wants it's power and dominance.

From my understanding, Noah and his family were saved from the flood because they were the only "good" people left on earth. According to Jewish/Christian myth, NO ONE is good, so why were Noah and the fam spared? were they the "least" evil? If God really wanted to start again, should'nt he have done away with everything, INCLUDING Noah? One more thing. Animals are not capable of making moral choices, so why were all the animals (not on the Ark) drowned? They can't be evil, so did God kill them for pleasure? Maybe they were just in the way? Why didn't he use his supreme power to whisk them away, anad return them when the flood was over? Nasty fellow, that Yahweh...

Christians, why would God create the world in such a way that most of its inhabitants would end up in hell? Many are never even exposed to the christian bible. Why not create a world in which everyone is given an opportunity to know the teachings of christianity? Also, when the starving child prays for food and the football player prays for a good game and only the latter is given what he asks for, doesn't that strike you as a bit of a mixup in priorities on God's part? Give the kid some food, for God's sake! God is supposed to have the power to directly intervene, yet the kid has no food. I don't get it.

STATEMENT TO THE U.N. SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON PALESTINE by Chief Rabbi Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky
July 16, 1947
Taken from the United Nations Trusteeship Library


1



The ancient right of the People of Israel to the land of Israel.

In approaching what is commonly called the Palestine problem and in trying to find a just and suitable solution it is imperative that the history of the Holy Land and its correlation with the Jewish people be viewed in their proper perspective. Indeed from the day onwards on which the L-rd said to Abraham: "Arise, walk through the Land, in the length of it and in the breadth, for I will give it unto thee "(Genesis, 13, 17), this country was predestined to be the land of domicile for the People of Israel. However, this predestination, this divine promise, has its basis but in religion, for only loyalty to HIS laws and teachings and fundamental application of that Law in Israel's public and private life will entitle them to the name "People of Israel" and only then can the term "Land of Israel" apply to this land as it is aid: "And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation" (Exodus 19, 6) and further: "For thou art a holy people under the L-rd, thy G-d." (Deuteronomy 7, 6). The interrelation between the land of Israel and the people of Israel rise and falls with the degree and intensity with which they fulfill the Holy Law. Past experience proves that Israel fell easy prey to their enemies whenever they deviated from the path prescribed in the Holy Bible, a fact to which the chapters of the Bible bear eloquent evidence.

Why do Christians today not concern themselves with Jesus life but only his death? The Bible is missing 18 years of the life of Jesus, and his ministry in Judea only lasted 3.5 years, yet the Gospel of John states that Jesus did so many things that it would not fill all the books in the world, and that's after only 3.5 years of his ministry.

Why do most Christians today not care about those lost years, and what he did and stood for? Are they scared they may find something they don't like, like the fact that Jesus went east to study God and learn about God in different religions? Are people scared that Christianity is based more on Eastern religions than they want to admit? Hiding their heads in the ground does not kill the truth.

This is the reason I read books concerning Jesus and his teachings outside of traditional Christianity, gnostic/Eastern. I supplement the Bible with these, as this paints a truer picture of Jesus Christ. I'm glad I did, I know my Saviour AND Master

They complian make judgement calls about non christians or just mean. they are unwilling to make scarafies and are selfish. Its people like this that make other christians look bad.

A man longs for companionship, so he buys a puppy. He treats the puppy well at first, bu then the puppy digs up the man's yard. He becomes furious at the puppy and beats it and mistreats it. The man continues to punish the puppy everyday, despite the fact that it tries to make up for its actions. It tries to lick him and is struck, it tries to portect him from people that show agression toward him, and it is struck. The puppy never changes and grows old and dies trying to please it's owner, who still showed much anger toward the dog for digging up his yard.

What message do you get from this story?

Muhammad must have sinned according to God, therefore I ask if Muhammad was a sinner? The Qu'ran seems to say he was.
Jesus was sinless (Sura 3:46), but Muhammad sinned and needed forgiveness (Sura 40:55: "Ask forgiveness of thy sin"; 42:5: "Ask forgiveness for those on the Earth"; 47:19: "Ask forgiveness for thy sin" ; 48:2: "that Allah may forgive thee of thy sin").

The Bible has an explanation for why Christ was the only sinless man as He was the Son of God a part of the whole of God who was perfect to pay the penalty of death for all.
Does the Qu'ran explain why Christ was sinless when all other men sin?

If you read these, you see they are about self defense, and also telling the reader that if the person you are defending yourself from stops, then you must stop too. It also says don't go overboard in protecting yourself, just do what you need to stay alive and protect yourself. This does not mean to go around killing innocent people. Self defense is not killing those who are not muslim. Self defense is just that. If physically attacked, fight back. If the attacker stops, you stop too. And why was verse 192 left out of the Answering Islam site? Is it because it made people really think about this? It says if the attacker stops, then good, all is forgiven.

Are you able to see it?
Here is the comparison

From the Answering Islam site:

Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits, for Allah does not love transgressors. 2:190

Tell me after you see so much misery on earth. Your god created us imperfect, but blame us for it. He created a devil too, who can't trust, or can't make him do, just to make us so unhappy. A god that is watching every move we do, to burn us in hell. A god that allows suffering in every inch and extent, and can't stop it, even when he is the ultimate power and have anything to prove. One who gave his blood for our sins, yet we are still sinners in his eyes, and we still doomed! And here is my god: people's hearts and actions; and here is my dream: that some day, peace be on earth, and everybody will be good to each other, and healthy ad happy, and that we can enjoy this earth and life the way it was meant to be.
That's why i think that your god was created by humans in the name of religion to supress the masses, and profit My god was created by some superior thing that i don't know or understand, but that works much better for me than the first one! So tell me, who is your god

Cos take into consideration that there are believers in God EVERYWHERE

so if, say for instance, a traveling buisness man conducts buisness with another person who believes in God as well, he will prolly take you more seriously and make it that much better of a buisness relationship. I actually know this from personal experience.

And for those that don't believe in God's existence you don't have to talk about Him at all so you don't unintentionally offend or effect the relationship at all.

it just seems like a bonus almost if they are true believers...

I actually wanna use Stephen Colbert as an example, he is a true believer in God and he has his own 'nation' of fans that all support his belief.

I also wanna use Norma Jean too, they are a hard-metal rock band with fans ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

So i'm just sayin if you are a true follower of God he WILL supply.

He has a ton of hook-ups just about anywhere u go, haha!

How do you/would you raise your children to communicate with Christian children if the topic of God comes up between them?

What would you tell your child if he or she asks about God, Christianity, or the bible? For instance, if your child asks, "Mom/dad, is God real?" how would you go about explaining things to them?

I am a deist, which has nothing to do with any organized religion. If you do not know what a deist is here the link
http://www.deism.com/deism_defined.htm
I REJECT any organized religion and just have a belief that there is a creator, an intelligent designer. PERIOD.Many philosophers and scientists were and are deists .
You seem to be confusing what DEISM is with REVEALED RELIGIONS and attacking anyone that has a belief in a higher power. Many have a different concept of what God IS that has nothing to do with the Abrahamic God.
Why do you get so angry only becasue I believe in a higher entity? In my belief no one is sent to hell, there is no Church involved, no pageantry or songs to learn, no Salvation doctrines, just a personal relationship with God. SO why does it bother you so much?
