[quote]Given the choice do you think they would have taken back their decision to follow themselves instead of God? [/quote] Probably not unless they already knew the consequences.
You know, "throne" means "toilet."
[quote]Why do you think that it sucks? If one holds onto this life how can one move onto the next existance? [/quote] [quote]The alternative is the death. A total loss of everything, including self awareness.[/quote] That is the next. [quote]This world is not a paradise.[/quote] Some places are. [quote]so much of what happens to us here will not happen to us there ( like sorrow tears, pain, grief, the death. etc.), [/quote] Sounds like a fairy t
[quote]Jesus said, "You must hate your life to follow me"[/quote] I don't care what any Christian says. That sucks.
[quote]What I've read does not support the notion that some 'wires' simply got 'crossed' - it was a very carefully considered decision, overruling the plans of the prosecuting attorneys to pursue convictions.[/quote] Oops. My wires got crossed. I was referring to the town hall meetings. Sorry.
[quote]That's obama justice for ya. That's kind of like advocating physical volence if you ask me.[/quote] Apparently somebody got their wires crossed.
[quote]No, the only way we can have the peace and joy and assurance is to believe Christ when he said those that come to him can have eternal life. When we come to him, he says, we can have life more abundantly.[/quote] Lost people can't find their way. Other people search for the lost ones. So if someone is spiritually lost, Jesus should find them. Christianity is backwards.
First he's a Muslim, then he wasn't born in America, then he's a racist and now this. Give it up already.
[quote]I can't even drink Pepsi anymore because of the resemblence to the Obama icon.[/quote] That's an emotional, sentimental, abstract response. Only because a symbol you've come to be fond of now has another meaning.
[quote]Obama's not wrapping himself up in the American flag. He's using a derivative of it as part of his own distinct brand.[/quote] [quote]You've nailed one aspect of it right there without even knowing it [/quote] McCain had a star on his "Country First" signs. That's an even smaller portion of the flag.
[quote]Obama's masses are depicted as blank, whited out souls with no distinguishable features at all. Scary.[/quote] Maybe it's supposed to mean that in some ways, we're all the same. Is every company with a logo run by Nazis? [quote]I was referring to the propaganda posters specifically.[/quote] Maybe you should stick to the one Draginol posted? [quote]At least the people who clamored around "the famous German leader" were all dressed in uniforms and depic
[quote]of course I did[/quote] No, you didn't. So I'll rephrase. Why would God punish people for doing what he wanted them to do? Even those who don't repent. They still did what he wanted. It doesn't make sense. Unless he's a cruel bastard.
Yeah, a symbol with what looks to be part of an American flag is un-American. Obama has a logo. Therefore he's a Nazi. Yeah. Makes perfect sense. [quote]this "famous German political leader" you mention was also obssessed with massive crowds.[/quote] Ok, so no one else has ever spoken in front of large crowds? No politicans, singers, religious leaders? I guess every pope has been a Nazi.
[quote]ultimately...yes! [/quote] Then why... [quote]we will ultimately be accountable for our actions[/quote]
[quote]God can take our bad and turn it into good for his glory [/quote] It's all good because it fulfills his plan.
[quote]I agree that it's all part of the plan from the get go. [/quote] Then it doesn't really matter what we do. Whatever we do is ok with God because that's what he wants us to do. Each individual.
Religious people believe that God and Satan are in an eternal battle for people's souls, and that the reason the battle is so intense and long is that God and Satan are equal. But Satan is an angel. How can an angel be equal with God?
[quote]Care to expand on that?[/quote] [e classic]:-|[/e]
[quote]an apology (more I'm sorry's from the US)[/quote] Apology for what, exactly? Maybe just that the women crossed the border accidentaly?
[quote]How can the scripture describe something that had never existed before? The word church was not in existance. There must have been another hebrew word used that was translated into "church". A word that doesn't necessarily mean church, but has been translated into it in order to give the infant CC the authority it needed. For many years after Jesus's death the only rememberance of his life was celebrated in the homes of indiviudals and in the communities where there was a commonality i
Yes, I know female circumcision is cultural, not religious.
[quote]I don't think it's strange. Quite the opposite, it's positively brilliant. Sell the people a useful operation as a symbol for a pact with G-d. It's brilliant.[/quote] Well, I don't equate "strange" with "stupid." I guess he asked it because it's permanent. Couldn't that be considered mutilation? Doesn't it contradict the "thy body is a temple" thing? Weren't women included in the covenant?
[quote]It's a symbol of the covenant, hence the word "bris" (meaning "pact").[/quote] Seems like a strange thing for God to ask. Why that? Why is it so important?
[quote]The 10 Commandments may have first been given to the Isrealites, but they were written in stone for a good reason...[/quote] I didn't say the 10 Commandments. There are a lot of other rules and laws in the OT.
Genesis 17 2. And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. 7. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. 9. And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. 10. This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and y
