-- Are these the same Palestinians who, when the UN granted Israel part of the land that had been the nation of Israel twice before in history, banded with the Jordanians, Lebanese, Syrians, and Egyptians and declared they would kill every Jewish man, woman, and child? You try to wipe out an...

Shep, have you ever heard of Pete Singer?

Falconduler, if you are not a big fan of Israel, so be it. More power to you. But do you really need to start multiple threads with the sole purpose of criticizing them?

*yawn*

-- So you just want the 'overview' of Jesus' message and not the nuts and bolts.... Jesus Christ spoke frequently and thoroughly about the dangers of hell. Why? Because in His love He wanted us to avoid hell at all costs. Simply saying "You are love, you are loved" and leaving it at that would...

Translation: No one decided to respond when it was shown their position is anti-Scriptural and not supported by Christ's own words.

The 24th chapter of Matthew is a very good indicator of what is coming.

When W.C. Fields was on his deathbed in the hospital, a nurse walked into his room one day and found him reading the Bible. When she asked him what he was doing, he replied, "Lookin' for loopholes." Those who want to deny the existance of hell, or acknowledge its existance but ignore...

-- These churches are so few and far between that your implication this is widespread is completely misleading. And you forget that if they are in church, they are already considering themselves Christians and NOT people who are being witnessed to in the hopes of having them give their lives...

If you were to follow Jesus in how the scripture is preached, He ensured that both the 'Love' portion and the individual responsibility portion were covered. He warned MULTIPLE TIMES about the dangers of sin and the possibility of ending up in hell if you do not address that sin. Apparently...

-- Rach, you are spot on. Jesus, the very definition of love, "always included the good as well as the bad." He warned people who wanted to follow Him of the difficulties they would face. He said, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." -...

-- Thankfully, an extremely small percentage of those who are Christians focus on hell when they share the Gospel. Unfortunately, many Christians focus on the "love" factor but neglect to mention that Jesus also has expectations of Christians. That partial message will leave many standing...

But we need to realize that just because America's and the world's situations are nowhere near what we had hoped when we began to obediently pray, it doesn't mean that our faithful prayers (asking that God's will be done) haven't been answered.

-- So, just because YOU don't see prayer answered in the way YOU expected it to be answered, to the degree YOU expected it to be answered, you should stop doing what God's Word calls on you to do... Prayer hasn't been answered in the way YOU feel it should be answered so....obeying God's Word...

Is smoking marijuana (other than for sanctioned doctor-approved) medicinal purposes illegal in the U.S? If the answer is yes, then you are required to "render unto Caesar that which is Caesars." If you choose to smoke it anyway, you are intentionally breaking the law. I am pretty sure God...

-- If you are truly going to share the Gospel as Christ requires, you must include the WHOLE truth. You can be delivered. Your sins can be forgiven. You can be a new creature in Christ. You can spend eternity in happiness with Christ. But God also has expectations of those who are going to...

I have no idea where your comment came from since it has absolutely nothing to do with my comment to you or your comment before that. No one said anything about our enemies loving us or being "our lovers." Christians will always have enemies. Even if we are exactly as God calls us to be...

His question - as stated - was a bait question. I gave my life to Christ because of where I was at my life. I was told He loved me but that if I truly wanted Him to change my life and be my Lord, I had to make changes in my life. If they hadn't told me about needing to reject sin, I would...

"Ah, the obligatory kick in the ass at the end of the post! Pure class!" - Aspen -- It is interesting to me watching Christians reacting negatively to be restricted, but offering no ideas for accommodation of all religions present in American,today....." - Aspen I actually was being kind...

-- What you are saying is spot on. If you are truly going to present the Gospel - as God has directed us to - you have to present the whole truth. If you just speak of God's love, millions of people around the world will follow Him thinking that His love is all they need and they will not...
