Haha dude you should be kalled the link-man... I read some of them...and cross refrenced them with my Bible... maybe you should do it too... it is not very accurate....
Sending down His son shows a 'point'... shows his love... He lost his son.. Jesus.. who in turn is God... it is kind of amusing that you do try to argue something that you believe is a 'fairy tale'....
I am called link man in some circles of friends. Its what I do.
But I do only argue the point of the existences and the philosophies involved. The Biblical precedents and textual **** is nothing of interest to me. All religions have texts and quite frankly, using them to explain why one is right is like saying Peter Pan exists because the book written about him says so. It is why I gave you linkage, so you can see the opinions of others against it.
I shall give you but one quote from your Bible regarding prophecies and leave it at this:
2 Peter 1:20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation
Take up your issues with my links with someone who lives to debate such things, Ive got better things to do with my time and would do a lesser job than someone who enjoys debating such topics.

Protection is love... I do not understand... you seem to be going in circles...
Ill try to point this out once more.
Protecting someone you never knew because you love them is a showing of sacrifice and love, but to that person, it was merely an act of sacrifice. They are in no way forced to love you back just because you did so. You choose to go through with the actions thought up and did so for a loving reason. Take the you and replace it with Jesus to see what Im getting at, or at least near it. I dont think thats to be discussed in this thread, seeing as it is a large tangent, but hey, if the question is asked in better detail, Im bound to reply well enough eventually.

thankyou for your reply... yes it is apparent... if you wish to stop posting... i am not twisting your arm... but your replies are greatly appreciated... I am sorry though that you sterotype me and think lowly of me... take kare and God Bless...
In Christ,
Frank
P.s. I never got the names of your parents... if you wouldnt mind me praying for them... you have nothing to lose....
I do no think lowly of you, I merely respect your beliefs as your own and hold my own beliefs as such as well. Stereotypes are always a thing of first impressions, I wont attest to being able to avoid placing them on most people, if one manages to live outside the stereotype, one leaves it to find but another to fit in. Circles of labels are ever present.
Seeing as they are parents of free-will, like all humans, they should be asked if they wish to have someone praying for them. Ive heard their answers to such things before and they follow as such: Dont waste your breathe, if I want to be saved Ill do so with my own volition.
Your praying interferes with their will to choose to believe what they wish, in the general theistic scheme of things. And if prayer really mattered in the least, Gods plan would get screwed with all the time. All things are currently of Gods will and to occur according to his plan, if he wishes you to save them, Im sure theyll get in contact with you after he sends down a memo.
Dyr.
P.s. Of course my supposed thought as to what God would hold, Biblically speaking, may be incorrect in your view but is correct in some Christian viewpoints, which I happen to be more familiar with. If your god happens to think differently, I'm sure a note will get passed along.
