-- Exactly. Especially if you are that confident that you know and feel that anyone who disagrees with your opinion on the matter is wrong. Here we are 14 posts into this thread and the person who started it hasn't given their position on the topic. .

And the Holy Spirit uses Christians to speak with them and when they heard God's Word, the Holy Spirit works to convict them. That is why Jesus told Christians to spread the news to the four corners of the earth. He didn't say, "Sit back. I will send the Holy Spirit and that will draw the...

Ohhhhh, poor boy. Not even close. I am judging both Muslims and Christians by their fruits, both in the past and today. In the past, both were violent, committing torture and murder in their name of their faith. Today one faith is the light of the world. Its followers are preaching a message...

-- I find it amazing that a gentleman who is an active member of a faith that either currently or in the past has believed in: - The infallibility of the Pope - Praying to someone other than Jesus - Mary not having children other than Jesus and being 'ever virgin' - Mary being taken into heaven...

Jesus' blood covers all sins... ...but only if the sinner acknowledges the sin, asks for forgiveness and repents.

-- Not trying to be obtuse ronmorgen, but neither your post nor the scripture you provide give any proof whatsoever that we are in the middle of the great Tribulation. Do you have something a little more concrete?

Many scientists within the scientific community are not interested in truth to the point of intentionally subverting anyone who wants to explore outside the approved norms. I have see the movie, "Expelled" hosted by Ben Stein a number of times with different people. Outstanding scientists in...

-- So, since it was Jesus that tested his followers and by your own admission you are not He, then why bother? Instead of testing people here - which you have provided nothing to show you are qualified to do - why not just share the information and be a benefit. .

Awesome post, hidude. I can speak from experience that praise is definitely not the first thing that comes to mind when the bottom falls out of your life. I can also confirm that - at least in my situation - praise was a very difficult thing to make myself do. But I think that is one of...

-- There are travesties and terrors taking place across the world today. But it is NOT the Tribulation. I was not aware that "one or two verses" of scripture was not enough to prove that something is accurate. Just how many God-breathed scriptures speaking of a specific event DOES it require...

Sorry, schools out for summer. I love to have people share. I do not appreciate them trying to put me to the test.

Miss Hepburn, I thank you for sharing. Three Sunday's ago they had a healing service at my church and a guest pastor from TX was there. Her name is Joan Hunter. There was a line of people wishing to be healed and she would ask what their issue is and then lay hands on them and pray. We...

-- Kudos to you Rach. You said exactly what needed to be said.

-- Ducky, sometimes it seems you say things just to begin an argument. OF COURSE God wants a relationship with us. Do you really think He would create us but then choose not to have a relationship with us? Do you really think He would allow His own son to be sacrificed for people He wanted no...

I have the very first cell phone I ever purchased sitting on my desk. It is from 1997. (I was slow to jump on the cell phone craze because I was living in Europe as an interpreter before that and the rates there were criminal.) The phone is roughly 10 inches by four inches by one inch. It...

Translation: You cannot defend your original statement that our conversation is based off of. That statement was: What were Christians doing 500 years ago? Islam is 500 years younger than Christianity and based on our history, they are right on schedule." - Aspen You resort to the very...

-- I couldn't agree more.

In the time of the Old Testamant, the tearing of clothes was done at the time of a calamitous personal event or to show true repentence for something. It was an outward sign but it involved no real sacrifice. Simply a surface event. The "rend your heart" that God is talking about is telling the...

-- Spot on correct. We as Christians are not qualified to say that 'this' in the Bible really happened, but 'that' didn't. And if we share that question of accuracy with non-believers, they will question why ANY of it should then be believed.

LOL Oh for Pete's sake. Sorry, Aspen. You are talking about what Islam SHOULD have been and SHOULD be today. I am dealing with reality -- what Islam actually WAS and currently IS. Same with Christianity. What it was supposed to be compared to what it ACTUALLY was. Already pointed out that...
