Actually Christians do sin, we do it all the time without knowing it. I'm a Christian and I sin but when I realise it I am sorry and as kfor forgiveness. An athiest might feel bad for something they'd sone but they wouldn't believe it was to the detriment of their soul. Also jsut because...

I guess, thinking about it that perhaps looking at nature as a comparison with the fourth horseman is maybe a little tenuous. A dead body goes a very nasty sickly colour and that is perhaops why John said that Death's horse was pale.

O fcourse you don'tno-one does anymore. The Vulgate is probably the most defunct and redundant translation of the Bible in existance because the scholarship is there to go to the original translations. The reason I mentioned it is because some of the KJV comes from the Vulgate translation as...

Let's have a look at the Vulgate then! Revelations 6:8 et ecce equus pallidus et qui sedebat desuper nomen illi Mors et inferus sequebatur eum et data est illi potestas super quattuor partes terrae interficere gladio fame et morte et bestiis terrae So the Vulgate uses the word; "pallidus" and...

There are suppsoed to be many anti-Christ's but Hitler and Mohammed are strong candidates. As to who the beast will be; well some peopel think that not even he will know.

Aspen! You could be right about pale/green horses refering to the decay of corpses, but I want to make it crystal clear that I did certainly at no point equate a pale/green hrose with environmentalism, I talked about the destructive forces of nature and the simple fact that anything left alone...

How do we equate green or greenness with death though? perhaps if Greenw as equated with nature then it coudl also represent the destructive forces of nature. War, famine and pestilene kill people and so do hurricanes (or whirlwinds), tsunamis, earthquakes and floods. Here's antoher thought...

I think that judging is a sin like any other and we all do it. Like any other sin we should try to be aware of it and try not to stop doing it and ask God to help us not to do it. We as Christians should not judge because it is for God to do that, but we as human beings living in afallen world...

i think Aspen makes a good point.

Purgatory is definately a mercy as without it those who die with sins on them would have to got straight to hell because they can't go to Heaven with them on thenm. Very very very few people will make it to Heaven without a stay in Purgatory which might last for hundreds of thosuands of years...

Aspen I've only glossed over the thread but do you think it would be fare to say that Hell is God's mercy on the people who don#'t ahve to go there. In so much as it is the assurity that the evil doers and non-believers will get their commuppance and the believers will be avenged. In toher...

My point was the a hosue divided on itself is the devil's bride, bringing together unity where it cannot stand. perhaps over time this could work out with the best of different traditions melding together to form a church that suits all but human nature makes this kind of thing difficult to...

Liek it or not as Christianity wains and Islam gets ever bolder and stronger it could happen. Where I live the local churches get together for s[pecial services and events; like processions and nativity plays etc. But they are at the end of the day separate churches and no-one goes aroudn...

Are we talking about the kind of hell that evil doers and no-believers go to when they die now or following the final judgement. In revelations John see's a lake of fire but this isnt called Hell in fact John tells us that death and Hell (Hades,depending on translation) were cast into it, so...

You must never ask God to do that because taking away free will is the kind of the the devil would do. A God that just has mindless slaves doing his bidding wouldn't be the God that we all know and love. That is why it can never happen. You can however ask God to make you not want to sin, but...

I just don't understand how there can be a mosque on groudn zero, it is terrible. Isn't there a huge outcry about it. There should be serious protests from the people, not just Christians possibly other religions too. Building a mosque on groudn zero just shows America and the world that the...

In Britain a Msulim woman can go around in a birka, some of them even have a kind of mesh so you can't even see the eys but if you wear a cross openly in public you're in trouble. A woman who worked for British Airways wore a cross at work and lost her job., she wasn't offending her Muslim co...

A Coptic church was bombed in Alexandria yesterday I think about 30 were injured and 17 were killed. Officially Sharia is supposed to respect Christians as people of the book but throughout the course of Muslim history the authorities have always turned a blind eye to it. Not wanting to be...

That was a very incteful post and it certainly sheds some light on whee the Q'ran really came from. As I remember there's something in one of John's epistles about false prophets and anti-Christs that could easily be connected to Mohammed.

Have a look at the Satanic verses. It is suras that never made it into the Q'ran because it shows how Satan tricked Mohammed into saying that Muslims could worship idols. The Muslim world will not talk about them because they can't handle the idea of the their prophet being tricked even though...
