and God..Philippians 2: 5-11...Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6. Who, being in the very nature God did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death even death on a cross. 9. Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10. that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The above was from the NIV Bible..it reads so simple and beautiful..Below is from your NWT..the same scriptures..It is not written the same way and it is attempting to take away the meaning of these scriptures..Why?

NWT..same scriptures:
5 Keep this mental attitude in YOU that was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God. 7 No, but he emptied himself and took a slave’s form and came to be in the likeness of men. 8 More than that, when he found himself in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient as far as death, yes, death on a torture stake. 9 For this very reason also God exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every [other] name, 10 so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground, 11 and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

Where do I start?

1) Could someone please define for me "real Christian"?

2) Are gays held to the rules and regulations of Christianity? Or, maybe more aptly stated, do Christians control homosexuals?

3) Why is this person happy about this statement? (see the smiley at the end?)

4) Is this like saying "friends don't let friends drive drunk" or "real Christians don't let friends become gay" or something like that?

I will not post the person who actually said this because I think originally posting it in all seriousness was embarrassing enough.

If you had the capacity to hire people, and you met an applicant who told you they belived dogs were aliens, and the evidence was being hidden by the chinese government, would you consider this to count for or against their capacity to be responsible for any task? What about a christian? If you answer differently these two questions, then why?

....even though they knew that more people would die and be seriously injured in auto accidents.

But they said that their main teaching was that people should just never get in cars (or that they should only get in cars where they have no danger of hitting other cars or objects and they should not go over 5 miles/hr.)

Yet they saw that most people continued to still drive on fast roads and get into accidents, and they still said that seat-belt use was a sin... would they be at least partly responsible for those deaths?

PHOENIX, Arizona (AP) -- Officers responding to a report of an exorcism on a young girl found her grandfather choking her and used stun guns to subdue the man, who later died, authorities said Sunday.

The 3-year-old girl and her mother, who was also in the room during the struggle between 49-year-old Ronald Marquez and officers, were hospitalized, police said. Their condition was unavailable.

The relative who called police said an exorcism had also been attempted Thursday.

"The purpose was to release demons from this very young child," said Sgt. Joel Tranter.

Officers arrived at the house Saturday and entered when they heard screaming coming from a bedroom, Tranter said.

A bed had been pushed up against the door; the officers pushed it open a few inches and saw Marquez choking his bloodied granddaughter, who was crying in pain and gasping, Tranter said.

A bloody, naked 19-year-old woman who police later determined to be Marquez's daughter and the girl's mother was in the room,

This rain and floods are no accident. It's happening all over the world, even in countries with little rain. What can we do. Nothing as we must accept it's what we deserve. We have ignored the warnings and thought it wouldn't effect us. Think again as none of us will escape the wrath which will be heaped on our head. Save yourself by turning to the Creator now and save the World.
