  >Give it up.

  NEVER
  The big problem here is that you people are afraid that the Christian faith is the 'one, true way', just as Jesus proclaimed in John 14.6, then backed up with miracle after miracle. He proved this then by performing the ultimate miracle: raising his dead physical body into the complete spiritual one that all who believe look forward too.
  I have heard some wonder what the 'next big step in evolution will be like'. Using that as an analogy, this occurred 2000 years ago in Jerusalem. The prototype was and is, Jesus Christ. All who share in 'the calling' will be moving on to the spiritual body. They are even now being transformed, not into 'nice people' from the depraved rabble that they are, but into 'new man'.
  The New Man is such an advance from the old as to be almost unrecognmizable yet with many similiarities. C. S. Lewis uses the example of a horse being transformed into a 'horse with wings', admitting that the analogy breaks down but it gets the point across.
  Naebis, you are scared and anxious, making a mistake of youth: thinking you know it all.
  Ginny, you continue to use the parts of the Bible you find distasteful as an excuse to disbelieve. You forget the wager of pascal, which is valid in use with Christianity, there is no faith closer to making any sense whatsoever.
  SS, you may have almost had it and now it appears you are hardened against it.
  Norm, you are a sad case indeed. You cannot stand for someone to have found inner peace and contentment.
  The rest of you are like little kids tossing stones at the door of some scary old man, hoping to rouse his anger and prove how brave you are. You still trumpet the Watchtower's main message: 'all other religion is false'.
  Don't throw away eternity until you have really given Jesus a chance. The more that you harden against His word, the more you will be hardened. That is the one unforgivable sin, the 'sin against the Spirit'.
  May God grant each of you what you ask for.
  Rex

  I urge you who value logic and reason to read C.S. Lewis', Mere Christianity.

  Hey Unc,
  Its too bad that no one ever taught you that the 'temple' he spoke of knocking down and rebuilding in three days refers to HIS BODY. He voluntarily let Himself be crucified then resurrected that very same body to it's glorified state.
  Do you doubt my interpretation? Guess what, its all in scripture if you had only bothered to look.

  >No matter how many times you twist my motives, I will be here, standing up for accuracy.

  Your 'accuracy' is what fits your world-view. You seem to be the self-appointed fill in for Alan F. No one has to 'twist your motives' for they are often transparent. You still haven't, nor did Rushdie, address the Jihad. You still haven't withdrawn you ludiocrous comparison of Christ's teachings with Mohammed's caravan robbing, murder and conquest.

  Hey Gumby,
  Did you hear what fireman Mike Moran said at the WTC rally? "On behalf of my brother and all of the firemen and police who died, you can kiss my Royal, Irish, A.."
  Your analogy doesn't hold.

  this is a short article from breakpoint and i think that the writer explains the christian view on recent events.

  i hope it reaches those who need it.. this shows why christians are different though being capable of some rather nasty acts.

  to my usual detractors, save your bluster as i will not respond to anyone who hijacks this thread with personal attacks.

  Why would all Baptists refuse military service? Did Cornelius quit being a Roman soldier? If we 'love our neighbor', do we help defend him from a criminal? What about our neighborhood, town, state, country and the rest of the world?
  You're back in WT Think. You should know that Christians are free to exercise their own Spirit influenced conscience and if that says to them: "defend the innocent", why wouldn't he? By the same token another Christian may react in the opposite manner to serving.
  We are also to obey the superior authorities and it is up to us if they are violating the higher law: God's law.
  Ultimately God is in control and even 'free will' is limited from the most innocent to the most nefarius. The devil had to ask God for permission to test Job, as did he when he 'sifted Peter'.
  Forgiveness does not remove the need for retribution and the Bin Laden types reap the whirlwind.

  examine the following statements and tell me if you think the wts is irresponsible in its furtherance of religious hatred which is an evil plaguing the world today.. 1 article 1. of the un declaration of human rights.

  all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.

  they are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.. .

  Six/ninths,
  C'mon. Tell me you do not know the correct context of 'hate one's family' and what it actually means?
  I'll let you correct yourself, if you value your own integrity.

  Hey SS,
  With your Christian background you should know the answer to this:

  >Yeru
  How can the taliban/bin ladin benefit from US cristian love/turning the other cheek?

  SS

  If they found Jesus they would lose their hatred for all others. The 'lost' are just behaving like the 'lost' people they are. Are you so uninformed as to the complete turnabout by millions who are converting to Christianity the world over?
  The Southern Baptists ALONE baptized 951,000 new believers in 2000!
  Too bad you bailed out, eh?

  The purpose of armageddon, if it is a literal event and Revelation has not already been mostly fullfilled, is to destroy the Bin Laden types. As usual, the anti-semite/christian amongst us like to blame God for their own ills. On the other hand, I recognize that I myself could become just as depraved as the Bin Laden types given the wrong circumstances. So, God let the JWs hurt you, eh Radar? Grow up!
