Heres my question to you then: In Acts, Jesus calls for all the people to give all their worldly possessions to the church and let the church take care of them as is needed. That is church sponsored socialism. Is that the type of society you want to live in? In Peter, Titus, Luke, Mathew, Timothy, and Ephesians, Jesus comes out in favor of slavery. In many of the instances he descibes conditions under which a master may beat a slave into obedience. He also instructs followers they are justified to kill (by stoning to death) someone who would speak of another religion. I guess as a non christian I'm just wondering do you really believe these Ideas are the will of God?

Not from a better than, or condesending way but because it is the closest any human being has ever come to knowing GOD from a human perspective in his son Jesus Christ...

Since GOD in itself is not in human form but is light that prevails all life and the universe he is distant to us human beings, but the most remarkable event in history the GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD is how God manifested himself as a human being as Jesus Christ Father, Son and the Holy Spirit...

I don't think any other faith has come this close to knowing the Creator of Heaven and Earth do you?

You might not believe Jesus is the Son of GOD but you cannot disprove he walked this planet as a human being for us to see a glimpse of GOD's ultimate plan for human exsistence.

Thoughts?

I'm sorry. I meant no harm by stating religion was stupid. I was merely trying to be flippant. Obviously, I don't believe religion is stupid. Have a nice day everyone.

regardless of if you might get slapped beside the head, be honest. Do you wish it was more like the past where this really was the woman's role? I kind of do for the simple fact that I wish I could be a stay at home mom. lol.

Allah is simply the Arabic word for God. Allah for Muslims is the greatest and most inclusive of the Names of God, it is an Arabic word of rich meaning, denoting the one and only God and ascribing no partners to Him. It is exactly the same word which the Jews, in Hebrew, use for God (eloh), the word which Jesus Christ used in Aramaic when he prayed to God. God has an identical name in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; Allah is the same God worshiped by Muslims, Christians and Jews. Muslims believe that Allah's sovereignty is to be acknowledged in worship and in the pledge to obey His teaching and commandments, conveyed through His messengers and prophets who were sent at various times and in many places throughout history. However, it should be noted that God in Islam is One and Only. He, the Exalted, does not get tired, does not have a son ie Jesus or have associates, nor does He have human-like attributions as found in other faiths.

Out side the hummimg of lawn mowers sing harmony. My oldest has settled down with a book to read. My youngest will be swimming at preschool right now. He is tan and fit, so that his easy smile shines the brighter. My woman is the soft warm breeze of summer itself, that blows through me.

This morning the rabbit who is our unofficial pet had come to play in the rhubarb. No doubt the arrogant squirrels that have colonized our maples will be dancing around the yard. It is a yard that needs a trim, tonight? Maybe, but my paintbrushes are getting dusty, maybe not yard work tonight.

The sun is hot, and has made the world lazy, but no time for laziness when the family calls and there is art to be made. Then there will be fall with cooking, bright leaves, long walks, and a the smell of woodsmoke. Winter will come and give its blanket and a peacefulness in which to rest and reflect. Then the explosion of spring will lead us back to the singing mowers of summer.
Is it enough, could my heart hold more, are fairies or angels required?

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? then is he impotent? Is he able, but not willing? then is he malevolent? Is he both able and willing? whence then is evil?

In the Bible, God creates Eve from Adam's rib. This is why Eve had one more rib than Adam. However, men and women today have the same amount of ribs. According to prominent creation scientist Ima Lyre (say her name out loud), this proves that Lamarckian evolution is false.

Lamarckian evolution is a discredited theory that states that organisms pass on phenotypic (rather than genotypic) variations to their offspring. This means that if Adam was missing a rib, his children would also be missing a rib. Since Cain and Abel had all their ribs intact, just as all people do today, Lamarckian evolution is false.

I know that evolutionarians already reject Lamarck and that my argument does not actually point to any flaws in Darwinian evolution. However, I'm hoping that people will mistakenly think my argument is sufficient to disprove Darwinian evolution.

As long as I can trick people into thinking evolution is false, I win!

I would say purgatory is the most because it is
saying that Jesus Christ couldn't pay for all their
sins at Calvary.
What other false teachings would you say are
most blasphemous in the Catholic church?

Say no one believed in a higher power and that all people were equal and struggleing to survive. Would the world be a better place? I mean doesn't the religions foster hate for people who isn't in their religion. In India they even have untouchables? how cruel is that? Say we eliminate all religion wouldn't that get rid of the reasons for war?

I went to see Evan Almighty yesterday. I thought it was extremely funny, and it had a very good moral, and in my opinion, portrayed God as a God I would like to believe in if I didn't already... He had a sense of humor, a purpose, and wanted only to take care of His children. But many other Christians I've talked to tell me it's "sacreligious" and we should boycott it. I just looked at it as a funny movie that actually portrayed God in a good light... what's so wrong about that? What do you think, sacreligious? If you're a non-Christian, what did you think about the movie?

For me it is my daily walk and journey with Jesus, that I desire to know and love him better, to walk with him with a purer and cleaner heart and for Jesus to help me with struggles I have in daily life....
A Stronger desire than anything else....

Acts Chapter 19 shows it is a totally different experience than when you believed or were water baptized.

I believe Jesus referred to it in Acts chapter 1 verse 5 also.
