No question -- we have shame of our own as Christians-- and with often what our government gets involved with. Mohamad and even Saladin were in some ways very fair and reasonable to be sure ...

I don't think so ... but the muslim brotherhood was as I understand it hoping to installl sharia law and don't mind committing violence against Christians. I wouldn't say Egypt is accused of killing Christians but that the muslim brotherhood has been (is this not correct?)

Well I have 2 little ones and if we were in a dangerous situation, I will be the one standing in front ... no question -- I could NOT live out the rest of my days after burying my child without knowing I did not lay everything on the line to protect them. I hope you are blessed with children of...

You are not alone on that.

O.o I think we got a lawyer here ... :)

Prior to 911 I did not know what a mosque even was, and so I could not have any dislike for islam or muslims. The lack of islamic leadership to STAND UP and denounce ALL acts of violence over and over against EVERYONE under ANY circumstances is the failure that allows mistrust to fester. It is...

Soldier. People are simple. We know what we see with our own eyes. Most have not read the quran or spent time learning about islam or its followers -- We have jobs and homes and children -- and if there spare time we could spend it learning more about our OWN faith(s). So what do we know about...

welcome to CF. What an introduction !! :) You are NOT alone in what you are saying -- you will find many people asking the same questions here! And you will find (I hope) love, support, lots of ideas, differing opinions to help you arrive where you belong. Welcome!

Perhaps we are in agreement then; it is simply that what I perceive as a person 'deciding' on their own to accept Jesus (what appears outwardly as THEM taking action/decision) originates from the seed God has planted (Grace). I have simply previously overlooked Him providing the grace.

A 15 or 16 year old girl falling for a 40 year old man is infatuation. If you feel otherwise I would be concerned to have you around my children as this would lack the typical maturity of an adult (that you should have at 33 years old). If you interpretted something I said as arrogant, you...

Lets assume for a moment that I am not one of the elect. (To be sure after reading some of these threads I have to wonder - no sarcasm here ... it has given me pause). God knew this before I was even born. Yet I've lived and will live a 'Christian' life. If/when I sin I am truly remorseful...

NO ONE enters your home without an invitation - not even the landlord/owner of the building (that is the law at least in Canada). Your door should be locked. When YOU open it from the inside you are standing there -- what are they doing exactly?? they cannot run you over. If you are standing...

I wish you the best, brother. I wish you freedom and a life without fear.

You as a muslim supporting your country and being in the armed forces is (as I see it) is something I'd like to see from more Muslims as well and I am very glad to hear this about you. EDIT: It is the intent (the sense of nationalism and unity) this demonstrates that I am impressed with. The...

My dear -- because a 14 girl thinking she is in love with a 40 year old man, and consenting to sex with this man that she "loves" is not love -- and is undoubtedly something she will deeply regret when she actually is a woman -- at 14 she is still a child. The truth is that if the man was to end...

Of course you would. The problem is that a teenager can become INFATUATED - they will WANT to say yes if they think they are in love. you're too young to remember the infamous Joey Buttafuoco case in the U.S. ... !?!

God Bless them!! this shows such resilience!!

Where were you when I was 14?? :) ha ha just kidding -- paradox -- I think as you get older you'll realize that younger than 16 or even at the age you're at right now -- you're very impressionable and potentially easy for an older adult to manipulate.

Thanks Wiccan. I really should not have said 'lied' -- wrt this thread I'm an engineer and am familiar with a decent level of thermodynamics and physics and so I am also familiar with the laws of physics to know that perpetual motion machines are impossible. Stating otherwise or the possibility...

lol - I knew the atheists were gonna like that post ... anyways I appreciate peoples thoughts/ideas on heaven ...
