How can you think abortion is a choice when it destroys the life of an unborn baby and causes him pain. Just look up on You tube "the Silent Screams. The baby is squirming around in his mothers womb away from the abortionist's tools. And also go to this website and look at the pictures then tell me if you think its a choice http://priestsforlife.org/resources/photosassorted/index.htm

Did you know that if you stab a man in the dead of winter, steam will rise from the wound?

Ancient peoples believed it to be the mans soul escaping from his body

It is estimated that the LDS church has given $750,000,000 to charitable causes in the entire history of the church itself. Why do they want a mall, and why would they not use this money to help others than to gain financial profit?

I paid many thousands of dollars to the LDS church since my childhood in tihing, and it makes me mad to see that my money is being so poorly spent.

Anyone else think the Mormons are not a money-making cult? Give me a break.

I'm about 79% more spiritual myself than this time last year, and 90% more sure of my beliefs being accurate. Do you feel about the same?

Simple logic prevents us sensible folk from believing in the up-from-the-slime theory. Even if all our noses were rubbed in so-called scientific proof, such a belief would go against the grain of our common sense. By the same token, all dyed-in-the-wool, proud evolutionists are equally zealous in support of their brand of truth and are unable to stomach honest-to-goodness Truth.
Common sense or far-fetched theory ?

Is God not speaking to us any more? Or is it that we know we would be fooling ourselves adding more under the pretense that "God is speaking to us". When was it that someone suddenly said "There, its finally finished"? Or did God say, "Read that last bit out to me.......You know, I think its all finished, lets hope it doesn't get taken out of context eh, skin up will you" Im sorry for the mocking tones, but if an argument is so ridiculous the only course of action I see is to mock. But anyway, mocking aside, why hasn't there been any recent additions?

Evolutionists, What is the point of laws that do nothing but rob us of the right to express our true nature?

From a strictly scientific and humanistic point of view, man-made laws only hamper the free expression of natural law and stifle the evolutionary growth process. There are those who would argue that such laws can not possibly serve society, that they militate against social progress, and that our biggest social problem consists of having to handle society's natural refusal to abide by such "unnatural" restraints. But, freed from their restraints, could we really expect to evolve into a race of superbeings through the evolutionary process ?

Evolutionists, what say you all?

I have a test today called an English Language Proficiency Test at 4:30. This test is for new students at the University of the West Indies. If we don't pass this test we cant do foundation courses and without foundation course we cant get our degree. The thing is you don't ever know what topic is coming all we know it's an essay . So please say a pray for Angie J of Trinidad so I can pass this test based what I have gathered over the years.

False Christs shall arise ... to DECEIVE ... if possible

The C of C-->J would have you follow & swallow J
The C of J-->C would have you f & s grace & truth

Perhaps C of C-->J as twice fallen as baby-lon on earth
Perhaps C of J-->C as twice risen as C in higher heaven

Perhaps C of C-->J great as "great terror"-ist in Dt 34:12
Perhaps C of J-->C greatest of great-->greater-->greatest

So, then, beware "follow the Christ" conventions of JWs,
and also beware the second law of X-ians who are CJs;
For 2nd is like the 1st: Mt 22 & 1st is sin & death: Rom 8.

Perhaps every way you look at "their" Law vs Law,
it's as if you're looking at Rom 8:2 Loser vs Loser.

Law: mend it or end it? Christ is the end of the law.

Does He like to be praised, and then He blesses us?
If we do not follow His teachings, will He be angry and punish us?

*Creationists on this site

"That looks to complex to have come about on its own, therefore it must have been created."

Is it really just a lack of scientific knowledge, or contrite for scientific discovery? Science has explanations for the origins of most objects existing on Earth without a supernatural Gap theory.

"If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; ..."

Why do we feel like we have to constantly apologise for terrorism? Haven't we explained that Islam as a religion doesn't condone it? In fact expressly forbids it? When we allow these people to make us feel like we have to "prove our innocence" as it were, we are kept on the defensive. I for one am tired of apologising. I WILL NOT be drawn into anymore conversations regarding it. And furthermore, I do not know what is like to live in a country who is economically, politaclly, and theisticall oppressed by the U.S. and/or Israel, so I cannot really say what goes on in peoples minds if and when they commit acts that are considered terroristic. People will react, sometimes violently, when they are constantly pushed, poked and prodded. When people live under constant threat and worry, they can do irrational things. When people feel hopelessly oppressed, and they feel they have no other options, they will react in ways we cannot fathom. How can I sit here and condemn them when I have no idea

This is aimed at those who claim that Muslims see them as nonhuman, as animals (even though Islam does not say this). What do you think of the fact that the RELIGION itself teaches to be kind to all living things, and not to kill them? Some of you state this, so what do you think of the fact that you've been refuted by the religion itself?

""Are there rewards for doing good to quadrupeds, and givng them water to drink?" Muhammad said, "Verily there are heavenly rewards for any act of kindness to a live animal."

Verily God hath one hundred loving kindnesses; one of which he hath sent down amongst man, quadrupeds, and every moving thing upon the face of the earth: by it they are kind to each other, and forgive one another; and by it the animals of the wilds are kind to their young; and God hath reserved ninety-nine loving kindnesses by which he will be gracious to His creatures on the last day."

I mean... that is the feeling I got from christian humans.

Not sure what all that nonsense about us non-human animals not having "free will" and them having it is all about though. I quite clearly have as much free will as any of you humans.

So wait... is my being exempt from sin determined by species (in which case I am exempt) or determined by lack of free will (in which case I'm not)?


Gah. My head hurts.

But don't worry.... I'm sure the Great Seytnurr forgives all of you loony humans, otherwise he wouldn't bask you in his warmth.
.... Just what constitutes a "sin" anyway? I don't think I ever asked that.
