    Prayer and Journals

    I was at a Bible study tonight and the speaker brought up an idea that really interested me. He was talking about staying connected with God and he mostly talked about prayer but also brought up the idea of communicating with God through a journal. This interested me so much because I...

    Amen. 28Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29for our “God is a consuming fire." (Heb 12:29)

    West Point Pillow Fight

    It's not school-sanctioned. The school actually goes out and tries to break it up. I'm not sure how it gets organized. I just got an email saying that there would be a pillow fight. It's just plebes. It's not upperclassmen.

    West Point Pillow Fight

    Here's something a little more funny and light-hearted. I'm a cadet at West Point and we had a big pillow fight last Thursday. It was fun. West Point sucks most of the time, but we also do some fun stuff :) . Here's a picture.

    The Soviet Union would have collapsed anyway. Reagan's contribution to America was mostly the fact that he made everyone optimistic again.

    Military research and private defense contractors

    I guess the company would loose some money if the secrets got out, so there is some motivation to keep it secret.

    Jesus in the Qur'an

    There's nothing there that proves that Ishmael is the heir of the covenant with Abraham. I don't see how you could argue with Gen 17:21. Yes, all of them: I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."...

    Jesus in the Qur'an

    About Ishmael being the heir of Abraham, Genesis says: 18 And Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!" 19 Then God said, "Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. [4] I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting...

    If Muslims don't believe that Jesus taught that He was the Son of God and that He came to cleanse the world of its sins, what do they believe that He taught?

    Hi, I'm beginning to study Aramaic and I'm looking for an Aramaic New Testament with the vowel marks. I found one without here: http://www.peshitta.org/ , but I don't know how to pronounce the words. Thanks.

    Jesus in the Qur'an

    That's what I thought, but wouldn't that make Him not the Messiah?

    Mal 1:2-3 and Rom 9:13

    I thought God was all-loving. I don't see how He could hate a person. I was reading Malachi 1:3 in a translation of the Tanakh and it said that God "rejected Esau". Wouldn't this be a better translation?

    Jesus in the Qur'an

    Well there are a lot of prophets, but only one Messiah. Do Muslims believe that He saves you from your sins? Isn't that what the Messiah does?

    Mal 1:2-3 and Rom 9:13

    As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Rom 9:13 Did God really hate Esau or is this a mistranslation? God doesn't hate anyone does He? He may have disapproved of Esau or hated what he did, but I don't think He could hate Esau himself. What do yall think?

    Jesus in the Qur'an

    I was reading the Qur'an and 3:45 talks about Jesus "whose name will be Messiah". Surah 3:84 seems to say that He was just a prophet. Which is it? Prophet or Messiah? I've heard Muslims say that Jesus was just a prophet. What were His prophecies? Where in the Qur'an can I find them?

    1 Kings 11

    God says that he will take David's kingdom from Solomon after he dies, but in 1 Kings 11:36 he says that he will leave one tribe. He actually left two tribes, Judah and Benjamin. Why did he say this?
