And if so, what do you think? I think it's a form molestation in a sense of the word. Molestation, in that, these children are as young as five, and six year old, on up, and they are in effect being brainwashed, This documentary shows these children, arms outstretched in praise, complete with flowing tears of devotion. Some of the children are quoted with statements such as " We are god's army !!" .." Man's law will not prevail, it's God's word that counts "...these are children!!! Children that,..that are in effect being turned into robots, and history has proven that when one mixes children, and the church, time, after time, sexuall exploition soon follows. It would'nt seem like such a big deal, but this was a colliseum sized building filled to the max. Why can't the church let children, be children? What came to mind for me in watching it, was the Hilter youth, the same concept here, start while they are young, and impressionable!! I think it's a form of mental child molestation!!

Consider whatever you believe in; be it religion, horoscopes. psychics, dowsing, or UFOs. Are you sufficiently open minded to consider the possibility that it may not be real? That it all could be a lie?
I ask this because I was called close minded because I said there was no such thing as paranormal activity. ...that all psychics were either deluded or phonies.
So...If I am close minded in saying they don’t exist, isn’t someone else equally as close minded for insisting they do?

Bible Sales

A minister concluded that his church was getting into serious
financial troubles.

While checking the church storeroom, he discovered several cartons of
new bibles that had never been opened and distributed. So at his
Sunday sermon he asked for three volunteers from the congregation who
would be willing to sell the bibles door-to-door for $10 each to raise
the desperately needed money for the church.

Peter, Paul and Louie all raised their hands to volunteer for the
task. The minister knew that Peter and Paul earned their living as
salesmen and were likely capable of selling some bibles but he had
serious doubts about Louie. Louie was just a little local farmer, who
had always tended to keep to him because he was embarrassed by his
speech impediment. Poor little Louis stuttered very badly. But, not
wanting to discourage poor Louis, the minister decided to let him try
anyway.

He sent the three of them away with the back seat of their cars
stacked with bibles and asked them to meet with him and report the
results of their door-to-door selling efforts the following Sunday.

Anxious to find out how successful they were, the minister immediately
asked Peter, "Well, Peter, how did you make out selling our bibles
last week?"

Proudly handing the reverend an envelope, Peter replied, "using my
sales prowess, I was able to sell 20 bibles, and here's the $200 I
collected on behalf of the church."

"Fine job, Peter!" The minister said, vigorously shaking his hand.
"You are indeed a fine salesman and the Church is indebted to you."
Turning to Paul, he asked "And Paul, how many bibles did you manage to
sell for the church last week?"

Paul, smiling and sticking out his chest, confidently replied, "I am a
professional salesman and was happy to give the church the benefit of
my sales expertise. Last week I sold 28 bibles on behalf of the
church, and here's $280 I collected."

The minister responded, "That's absolutely splendid, Paul. You are
truly a professional salesman and the church is also indebted to you."

Apprehensively, the minister turned too little Louie and said, "And
Louie, did you manage to sell any bibles last week?"

Louie silently offered the minister a large envelope. The reverend
opened it and counted the contents. "What is this?" the minister
exclaimed. "Louie, there's $3200 in here! Are you suggesting that you
sold 320 bibles for the church, door to door, in just one week?

Louie just nodded.

That's impossible!" both Peter and Paul said in unison. "We are
professional salesmen, yet you claim to have sold 10 times as many
bibles as we could."

"Yes, this does seem unlikely," the minister agreed. "I think you'd
better explain how you managed to accomplish this, Louie."

Louie shrugged "I-I-I- re-re-really do-do-don't kn-kn-know f-f-f-for
sh-sh-sh-sure," he stammered.

Impatiently, Peter interrupted. "For crying out loud, Louie, just tell
us what you said to them when they answered the door!"

"A-a-a-all I-I-I s-s-said wa-wa-was," Louis replied, "W-w-w-w-would
y-y-y-you l-l-l-l-l-like t-t-to b-b-b-buy th-th-th-this b-b-b-b-bible
f-f-for t-t-ten b-b-b-bucks ---o-o-o-or--- wo-wo-would yo-you
j-j-j-just l-like m-m-me t-t-to st-st-stand h-h-here and
r-r-r-r-r-read it t-to y-y-you?"

in what ways do you disagree with the little evidence scientist have accumulated to support the theory of evolution? How would you from a Christian point of view debate the forming of the earth and its living creatures.

Paul in response to a question, as opposed to quoting Christ on a scale of 1-10?

Ten would be Paul all the time, and one would be Christ all the time.

Be honest here, and if you have to, look at some of your previous answers.

Also, in Luke at the lineage of Joseph it says at the end it says, (Adam the son of God.)

I'm assuming this means in the physical sense, for only Jesus is the literal/Spiritual Son of God, Correct?

Lastly, they are two very different lineages.

Your help would be appreciated.

Servants of the Catholic church take a vow of poverty. We know that this applies to everyone from the Pope on down to Priest and Nun.
Given this fact, how then, does the Roman Catholic church justify keeping it's vast treasure in storage? When the bible clearly instructs the church to accept tithes and offerings to live on, and to further the spread of the gospel?
Secondly, there are individula RC churches which are going bankrupt for lack of monetary support. It matters not what their attendance is. Some are in poverty stricken areas where members are unable to tithe, some are in areas where members refuse to tithe. Why isn't the Vatican supporting these churches so that they may remain open to do the work they were called to do in ministering to these people?
