If God is The Same, Yesterday, Today and Forever as spoken of in The Bible,
Why then do you not practice the Mosaic Law?
Why then do you not make Animal Sacrifices to The Lord? Why do you call yourself a "Christian" and not call yourself a "Jew" as Your "God" Jesus Was?

If Jesus is the Trinitarian (Ice, Water, Steam) "God" you say he is, Why was he a Jew and Not something else?

Biblical Quotes with Scriptual References and Not Rants Please...

It doesn't matter if you are a liar cheater, thief, prostitute, homosexual, athiest, etc....
1. Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2. Jesus answered, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? 3. I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 4. Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? 5. I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish."

3Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

5Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them."[a] 6But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'[b]" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7"or 'Who will descend into the deep?'[c]" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,"[d] that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."[e] 12For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."[f]

We are raising our children in the tradition and many are choosing the path. Obviously in the next 20 years there will be a lot more of us then now and since it's also growing outside of that, where do think it will be in 20 years?

What has come from giving christians the benefit of the doubt.. the world is not a better place. They still go around preaching they know the answers. They have murdered through war, burnings hangings inquisitions and crusades everything that might have given us the answer just so they can give the appearance of knowleged.

When will we subject them to the same scrutiny and standard of truth that they have continually subjected us to.

for example: they discredit evolution simply because we did not understand the origins of the earth. When the big bang theory was becoming acceptable or understood then they claim that evolution is not truth for humanity could not explain the origins of the universe. I tell you that evolution is easily proven through the spider familly (beginning with the taranchula and working out the species the whole cycle is evident) evidence is enough. We need to stop cowing down to the christian demands of more proof and start demanding proof of them.

Luther Said: Polygamy Is Permissible

"I confess that I cannot forbid a person to marry several wives, for it does not contradict the Scripture. If a man wishes to marry more than one wife he should be asked whether he is satisfied in his conscience that he may do so in accordance with the word of God. In such a case the civil authority has nothing to do in the matter." (De Wette II, 459, ibid., pp. 329-330.)

It seems Martin Luther supported polygamy or at least he was not against it.

What can you say about this statement of Luther?

It was a sultry Texas night. I was snuggled in my bed with the AC on bitterly frigid. I was past the point of blocking out the drunken sounds of my fellow co-eds, and almost in deep slumber, when all went quite. A faint familiar tune wafted into the room,
hummm, hummm,
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
you'll come a waltzing Matilda with me...

I opened my eyes and floating in the corner of my bedroom was the scepter of Jack B.
It was as if he glowed radiant energy. As he floated closer I heard these words Put another shrimp on the barbie Sheila, and lightly gave me a small kiss on the lips. And I was reminded that tomorrow is Jack B's birthday. When Jack B's scepter floated through the door, I awoke with a start, to a beautiful sunrise with the taste Of Vegemite on my lips....

What could this mean?

Oh BTW Happy Happy Birthday Jacky.

Hugs, Emily L

I just wanted to get some different opinions, etc. If you are Christian, do you attend church? If not, why? What would it take for you to attend?

We were raised to believe that we are the greatest country in world history, that our country has never done anything wrong, that we always stand up for the downtrodden, and so forth. Further (and even more dangerous) we are trained to believe that we as a culture and each of us individually is capable of accomplishing anything we choose to do, with no help from anyone else.

This leads inevitably to a personal crisis for every American, whether consciously or unconsciously. Eventually, it dawns on each of us that history doesn't bear out the great story we've been told, and that America has as much blood and contradiction on its hands as any nation. If thoughts like these are repressed for too long, the fundamental American egocentrism is compounded--after all, what could be more egocentric than to continue to believe whatever story you like in the face of all evidence to the contrary?

Some of us call it "waking up from the American Dream" (and we're none too popular with our countrymen who prefer to sleep through it).

things during the day such as a good parking spot? You know in the Bible how it says to pray without ceasing and I always wondered how in the world anyone could ever do that. But I can sort of see what that means - many, many times during the day, I will pray for God to guide me in a certain area, give me patience, help me to choose the right words, and continually thanking Him for big and little things that happen throughout the day. Does anyone else know what I mean?
