One of the best ironys of the world was the Crusades. Jewish people were summarily murdered by knights loyal to the Vatican in the name of Jesus because their knowledge of the Bible was not complete. God denounces killing and murder, which is exactly what the Vatican said to do. This was a very sad era of Chistiananity that will long plague us as a faith.

Well, I WAS going to send you my "Knock at the Door Song," but it seems it is temporarily locked away on the old hard drive of my sister's computer. (Does anyone out there have a copy of it that you could send to me in the mean time?)
I'll try and see if I can recall the main points:
Chi, Ki, the Source, The Force, are just different names for God.
It's really very simple, but to you, it may seem odd...
...It's through the Holy Spirit that God spreads Jesus' love...
...So if you call God Allah, Buddah, Krishna, or Id,
It's time to come together in peace. It's about time that we did.

If US marine got killed in the name of America, would not he be Patriot and everyone shoudl acknowledge that and his family should be proud?
If than mankind act, what do you expect from God who nothing can be compared to his rewards in life and in Heaven. Thus God promised them to be at the higest level of heaven and their family should not feel sorry but feel happy because this man sacrificed and he is now enjoying paradise.
Yet, using God name as a cover for killing is not a justification. God states when killing in his name is permitted:
- Those kill others.
- Those who stand against God message to reach the people for them to choose.
- To self defend youself as otherwise you would be killed.
Thus, usually it is against Rulers acting as gate-keeprs, not the people.
Yet, today with media is reaching everyone and convenience is becoming today's trait, then killing is not justified as the first option.

god can give life and he can take it away. the life we live on this earth do you think it is fair? people are suffering each and everyday and we must all face death. there would be no more sorrow and pain. when we pass on physically, then there is life my friend. this is where we are welcomed innto having eternal life not death. god does not believe in religion, he wants us to live clean good lifestyle. so do you think that people who have naever even heard of jesus but live generous life go to hell, no. god loves everybody and he did not come upon this earth just to come he did not come for the good but he came for sinners to live the good life and know him. i would never want to think tat when i die that's just it. think about it. all the people who are sufering from those who are not. god will reward us when that time comes beacuse he knows all things. darling all i can say is go a little deeper and don't jump to conclusions about this.

In "the (hallowed) name" of "our Father" (His Grace), which is also the (heavenly) name of the Son(of God), which is also "the name by which ye are called"... namely "grace" (the throne of "grace")... in that name none perish.
In compare-i-son and contrast, in the name of Law, all perish: Colossians 2:20-22.
Which (law/grace) things are an "allegory": Gal 4, and a "mystery" to solve in time, lest all perish by law rather than none perish by grace.
The "grace"(God) of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Well that's exactly what Jesus taught, so for Christians the answer is yes.
Mark 8
34Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it.

you have to remember one thing and the only true thing that the god you're talking about is the one who took their souls and died for him and he want them to be beside him because they love him

My faith doesn't give me 7 virgins but some do. Maybe that's a turn on for people.

all you losers concentrate on is the virgin story? is it because you want 70 gay men instead in your paradise? or maybe you want 70 old whores, or 70 little boys for you gays. Hey y'all are gay anyway
