Two weeks ago, Turkish police arrested an Islamist with ties to many upper tier al-Qaida members. The man not only tried to get asylum in Germany, but claims to have known about the London bombings beforehand and to have helped the 9/11 pilots. The very interesting rest of this news story
So am I correct that you are a true believer in Christianity and accept both Old Testament and New Testament as the whole Bible and word of God, not only parts of it? You said Catholic became Idols worshiper in 330 AD, what year did the English translation happened and by who since obviously by this time Catholic Church and pope were pagans and were not interested in true scripture? Do you mean Martin Luther protected the true fate? It must have been a great task to protect it against catholics that were Idols worshiper, am I correct to assume that you accept Martin Luther as a great man who protected Christianity and true faith with his ideas, what do you think about his writings? Don't you think the writing of a person who saved the true Christianity and fate should be very important to true Christians? I think most Catholics use rosary and have extreme belief in Maria or as you call it worship, doesn't this make most Catholics idols worshipers independent of what they say about pope? Why do you think UN is involved with Catholics to bring about the Anti-Christ, do you a special person in UN in mind when you say this or do you think about the UN as an organization?
Is Iran the True Victor of the Iraq War? Iran has benefited from the downfall of the Saddam regime like no other country. Now Iran's mullahs are pressing for more influence -- and are apparently using terror as a means to that end. The Shiite-dominated south is already said to be completely under Tehran's control. Not to miss the rest ...
You do not know what you are talking about. Who the hell is "Maria". This is by far some of the most ignorant stuff I have seen you post. You have gone completely off topic yet again. I'm just sitting here laughing at you daily.
Perhaps, but then again, they ought to think twice. We are sitting right next door. When we begin to pull out of Iraq we will be crossing the border into Iran if this crap keeps up. Then all the young people that actually want and love democracy will finally truely have it. It's only a matter of time.
Yes and Amen Try some G gle search John Wycliffe (also Wyclif or Wycliff) (c.1320 – December 31, 1384) For the romans it was all about power and influence. Hence the word "was". Martin Luther was not the only in the fight for the truth. Search for Huss who was before him and again - Try some G gle search See above... Opus Dei and Jesuits are infiltrating and gaining control in key positions, just one to mention.
Thank you for the reply. Do you think that Bible is word of God and should be taken literally or according to some Christians should be interpreted and modernized. I suppose the heart of question is does the man has the right to change the word of God? For example Bible says that homosexuality is wrong. Do you believe that this is the truth and will be always correct or should we think at present time and accept it as some Christians do?
In no way is anyone allowed to add on or take something out from this book (Last chapter of Revelation). If it says it then it is so , but homosexuality could also be reffered to as an illness. People have to make their choice and are free to do so, but nobody has the ability or the right to alter divine truth of the Bible. In the book itself it says that not everthing thing that could be written is written in it. But that what is written covers everthing for us. Interpretations are dangerous sometimes and can lead into wrong directions. The only successful option is to pray for the holy ghost for help to understand and as you know from one of my earlier posts this works best.
Thank you Arnie for your reply. I looked up Huss with Google, he seems like an interesting man and as I understood he was burned to death by Catholics and Pope for his belief. "It accordingly found him guilty of heresy, and he was burned at the stake on 6 July 1415" Arnie It seems mia doesn't know about this subject and mistakenly thought it was my posting but I am not an expert in this area and was just repeating your posting, can you please explain for mia in more detail what you mean.
But it doesn't say it. That is the point. It's really open to interpretation. There are only a few churches I know of that take the bible literally, and in many cases warp its meaning. One that comes to mind is the Pilgrams Community Church in Monroe Wisconsin. Not the Catholic church. Sure there are some in the Catholic church that get a bit carried away, but I've not seen one yet that has gone ape shit whacko, cut off someone's head, or told me that I will burn in hell if I use a rubber during sex. It's just not that way. GW has no idea what he is talking about when it comes to this subject. The bible does say that man ought not lay with man. It refers to it as an abomination, but many of these quotes are teken completely out of context in many cases. There are gay Catholics. How does that work? Because the Catholic church accepts all and judges none. It may seem on the outside like they do, but believe me, the holiest of the holys in the Catholic church will not look down on another, or treat another as any less of a person or sinner. Other religions can be quite violent when it comes ot homosexuality and things like abortion. I've not seen that from Catholics. I know of no single person, religion or culture that litterally translates everything verbatim that they have read in the Bible. To do so would be like... Well we know what it would be liken to. It is quite obvious that GW has found yet another topic to beat to death for the sake of making fun of that which he does not understand.
Are you crazy, we can bearly keep the peace in iraqi, if we had to move on another country, pretty much iraq would be lost, we don't have the troops for another war
Ah, no, I simply pointed out that you are ignorant. I know who posted it, and I know you are ignorant. I'm pretty well versed on this subject, more than you will ever know. That is why I find your statements so comical, and bordering on pure lunacy.
Really? What are you talking about? More people die on US soil from violence than those that die in Iraq because of terroists (helped by media and anti-war supporters) that keep trying to unsettle the peace. Remember, the war is over and we have handed control over to the Iraqis. It is their country to keep peaceful. If you think peace is failing, then the Iraqis are failing. We are spread a bit thin, but not quite as thin as we were during the Clinton era. Perhaps it is time for the rest of the lazy world/countries, (wait there are only three of them) to begin assisting us. It's more in their interest than it is in ours.
Very interesting, I am ignorant because I ask questions. I was only trying to ask Arnie questions to completely understand his position about this subject but it is quite obvious that you have no interest in understanding or dialog and more interested to repeat the fox news like a parrot. So far I have understood that you and Arnie do not agree on Bible and while Arnie believes in whole Bible as word of God (both old testament and new testament), you like to chose and pick from bible as it suits your version of Christianity. The question is important since if we are going to discuss the significance of religions in present situation, we must know if we are talking about Christianity as it is in Bible and Arnie believes in or your modified version of God's words.
Do you even know what ignorant means? It's not a rip on you. 2 entries found for ignorant. ig·no·rant P Pronunciation Key (gnr-nt) adj. Lacking education or knowledge. Showing or arising from a lack of education or knowledge: an ignorant mistake. Unaware or uninformed. I am going by the "unaware or uniformed" definiation btw. Make sense now, or should I clarify? Nope, you are ignorant. I believe just as Arnie does, that it is the word of God, and I do not pick and choose as it suits me. You are ignorant UAWARE or UNINFORMED. I did not say I pick and choose. Grow up. There is no modified version. Stop being so ignorant.
Gworld's question about believing the whole bible old and new testament to Arnie probably is some sort of ploy, he asked me a couple of times and I keep answering the same - Yes the whole bible - old and new - front to back - inside and out.. but he will probably ask again. The old testament has many prophocies of the Christ to come and the New shows who Christ is. Jesus told his followers "if you have seen me, you have seen the Father." because of who He claims to be. Homosexuality is considered a sin. Jesus came to the earth to forgive sins and to pay the price for all of our sins. I personally didn't sin in that way but I have in many other ways that are just as condemnable, yet Jesus paid the price and now I do not live in a sinful lifestyle. I may not be perfect but I sure do try to go the way I saw Jesus live.
If Homosexuality is a sin and they just keep doing it, shouldn't they be punished for their sin or do you mean Jesus is continually is forgiving them? If Jesus is continually forgiving the sins, which sins are forgiven in this manner, is there a list? How about if some one does a murder, is that also forgiven by Jesus or only homosexuality?
Forgiveness comes with repentance. Look up repentance to get your answer. (BTW, some of your last few posts seem so much more calm and seem sincere.)
re·pen·tance The act or process of repenting. Remorse or contrition for past conduct or sin. How do you suggest that homosexuals should repent from previous acts? Are you suggesting that they should change sexual orientation and become heterosexuals? What about those who do not repent and continue to be gay and have sex with other men, should they be punished or Jesus forgives them every time?
Repentance is key to forgiveness. The bible is clear on what happens if we don't repent from our sins. King David is a highly respected person in the bible. Jews and Christians alike see him as a great man. Yet, he was an adulterer and murderer. Here is a great write up I found - King David caught in sin God loves us and forgives us, Jesus would forgive people of their sin and would say "go and sin no more" His forgiveness give freedom to not live in the bondage of sin.
