Giving up a mortal body for an immortal one and knowing for certain that you will ressurected within a couple of days. Is hardly a sacrifice of great proportions, is it?
Not wishing to seem ungrateful and all that.

...suffering was not so bad.
his "perfection" and understanding of the situation would certainly have mitigated his suffering.. his death was not really death, not in any meaningful sense.
it was a 15 second nap, using bible reasoning.

i am writing to ask for your help.
as many of you may know of the recent trial of erica rodriguez where manuel beliz was convicted of child molestation.
a new development has happened that in my opinion is absolutely outrageous.. the prosecuting attorney gary brueher has told erica today she is not welcome at the sentencing hearing.

Bridgette and all
It is a interesting subject.
I was watching a documentry last night about how some scientists are begining to find that our mental processes, can affect things outside the confines of our human brain. It showed how prayer does appear to work.They were not saying that God was doing this, but there does seem to be something in operation here that is challenging conventional scientific thought.

Without an alternative viewpoint, people will stagnate into their own ignorance.

.....................................................................
"various accounts in the gospel show Jesus ordering out demons from people"
.....................................................................
Yes, But how do you know that this Jesus you seem to know today, is the one that you are reading about in the BIBLE?
......................................................................
"The Spirit says clearly that in later times some believers will desert the Christian faith. They will follow spirits that deceive, and they will believe the teachings of demons."
....................................................................
Vienna, if you read the letters of James and Timothy, you will see that Christians back then believed they were living in the "later times".

every living thing as an overwhelming desire to live and reproduce itself.

Many organisms such as diseases,are intelligent and kill to exist.
Their sole driving force often kills its host and moves on.
Your reasoning, makes God a gruesome designer.
