it seems from my perspective only, as i am only speaking for myself, that there are many people who like to debate on christianity and christian beliefs no matter what the initial topic was about originally.
it seems that many who do this are basing their beliefs about christianity on what they learned from either one extremely legalistic group known as jehovahs witnesses or from one of the just as extreme fundamentalist sects with similar attitudes.
i would like to point out though that main stream christianity considers these groups to be cults of christianity.
That is very true.
Not all christians are alike just like no two fingers prints are alike.
Believers of Jesus Christ and doers of His Word are important. We all are not perfect but we get peace and forgiveness in Christ.
We receive different gifts from God which we ought to use for His honour and glory and not for our own selfishness.
Christianity is deeper than just calling yourself a christian.

Tell me what you think of this:
The World Trade Center Towers could certainly be a type and warning to us as a nation that our money and pride has reached into the heavens and it is now brought down by our own sins.
In the Old Testament the other tower that God did not approve of was the Tower of Babel. This is how Babylon got its name.
Nimrod and the men who were building this tower had the wrong motives for doing it, therefore, the Lord confused their languages *so that the work was not completed and the men were scattered abroad on the face of the earth.
* Only God could do something like that. Hence we have so many different languages.

And now here I am posting on what is technically a very apostate website. So. What do you make of it?
Welcome I must say.
When I first visited this site the impression I got was that it was for discussions about Jehovah Witness' faith. I thought that there would be more JWs on this board not ex JWs.

joseph smith or rutherford??????.
i mean rutherford wrote some weird stuff and lots of it, i personnally find his writings hilarious..."the list" is a laugh a minute!..
but surely ol' rutherford never wrote something as weird as the quote below by joseph smith the mormon prophet?.
no attempt her at subtrafuge, just thought i'd kick off a subject with an anology.
when i eat breakfast, i usually have one of three things, something with eggs, something sweet or just the coffee!

in a thread called" can any jw answer this" by jerome, alan f had stated that the term.
everlasting to everlasting applied only to the god of israel.
he could find no scripture in which this term applied to jesus.. i found some good info.
Jesus is the beginning and the end, he does not have a B E G GI N I N G

did mary the mother of jesus remain a virgin all her life?
the catholic/orthodox believe that she never had sex with her husband and poor joseph had to spend the rest of his life in an unconsummated marriage unable to sleep with his wife.
i find this unlikely that such a demand was imposed on him and there is the well known mention of jesus's brothers.
Did Mary the mother of Jesus remain a virgin all her life?
No
The catholic/orthodox believe that she never had sex with her husband.
True statement but untrue belief.
Mary and Joseph did have children together after Jesus was born through the Holy Spirit.

kiev (reuters) - a man shouting that god would keep him safe was mauled to death by a lioness in kiev zoo after he crept into the animal's enclosure, a zoo official said on monday.
"the man shouted 'god will save me, if he exists', lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions," the official said.. "a lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery.".
This shows that God does exist because the man is foolish.
Allow me to explain and rephrase this sentence:
Someone posted earlier that one should not tempt the Lord thy God which is exactly what this foolish man was trying to accomplish, hence God would not be tempted into saving this man just like that. Besides it's more like saying, "God if you are real you wouldn't let me kill myself!" He did not even believe in God.
God gives us the freedom to make choices, however when we chose the way of the Lord you will be rewarded with eternal life. (life after death)
