After some prayer tonight and meditation I kept repeating Psalm 23 and then began to consider what it actually means. Here's what I came up with - please feel free to contradict and comment. Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepard. I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He...

Funny how Christians have this wonderful way of crushing others. But think about what God is like and his characteristics. I'm sure he wants you to heal, he is of course, a God of healing. Take the time to be healed and to find the people you need to help you do that. This is my prayer for...

Right...the US doesn't have spies around the world right? That's because they are God's holy nation of course. And I'm pretty sure God told George Bush to attack Iraq, that's all the justification that was needed uh huh.

I've never gotten how the "I've just heard an argument I don't understand/ too hard to answer therefore I will answer with Jesus loves you" comments work in real life or the interwebs.

China invading the US, Australia...right. A brief look at Chinese history shows the people they've most used military force against and still to this very day is...their very own people. I challenge anyone to come up with any military campaigns China has entered outside of its immediate area...

I've heard that the Korean Christians pray an awful (well wonderful) lot. They have like prayer meetings three to four times - a day.

No. That's interesting Nezni, a lot of Salvos, particularly of the younger generation tend to be more "into" that "spiritual stuff."

I preface this by saying I'm a Hong Kong born Chinese and will be biased. But I can say the same for all of you. I don't want to open up a can of worms but whilst I accept that there is probably a vast violation of human rights in Tibet (and mind you in China as well), the fact is for all...

One who has an understanding of the difference between what the Jews have of Heaven and Hell and the what the enlightment's views on heaven and hell were will quickly see that when it says "lifted out of the air" it cannot possibly mean we will be lifted into the sky and into heaven because that...

I don't see China as going out invading people...In fact a look a history shows that whilst China has been invaded firstly by western powers who forced their ports upon China prior to WW2, and then by the Japanese in WW2, China has not really gone and started any wars within recent history...

I can't really see anyone going on an 1940's Japanese style invasion of the Pacific...any power that has the military capability to do that will also have vast trading interests in the Pacific...it just wouldn't be worth it. And that is precisely what someone would have to do if they planned on...

People still believe in the rapture? My my...

Thanks Davin. I'll work on the prayer thing.

Lots of jobs are being lost - our unemployment statistics are kind of skewed imo anyway. If you work one hour a week you are considered employed, and any people not on centrelink (ie homeless) are not considered unemployed (they just don't exist). It's still surprising that unemployment...

Also thanks for the previous responses... I know God wants me to give up a bit more and surrender a bit more, but I just can't seem to find the faith to believe that things are going to be okay...

I haven't read Sarte yet God Lover, but I have read some Kierkegaard...that man is an inspiration. And I do believe you are right, I need so make choices for myself, and I am starting to do that. Thanks :)

Well the book is by Shane Claiborne who studied in one of the American theological colleges (don't know which one, but Tony Campolo was one of his lecturers), and he did an internship at Willow Creek (Rick Warren's church). Anyway he became slightly disillusioned about how church runs and so he...

Hi! I'm just going to share a little story and you can maybe help me out or not (or pray). I've been a Christian for 3 years now, I've really come to know God and I want to love Him more and the world, and everyone, I really want to be Christian, because that's actually the way I want to live...

Anyone read the Irresistable Revolution by Claibourne? And what were your thoughts?

Hi! So I'm back yes, but I doubt I will be on as much as before. Anyway been dealing with sorta a quarter-life crisis/ existential depression/ depression/ nervous breakdown. However you want to call it. I've seen a psychologist for a bit but I don't find it very helpful other then talk to...
