With any subjects if you want accurate understanding on, it is best to read the source. Only arrogant people try to debate a subject they have not researched. Got nothing to do with being just Christian.

TURE

The nukes (WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION) were not droped to save more lives, if you research the historical information now released, you can see clearly that Japan was on the verge of losing and surrender. The nukes were droped because US wanted a reason to test their bomb in real life.

REMEMBER : TWO, and I repeat 2 NUKE BOMBS were droped. One would have had the same impact of ending the war is that was the aim, but dropping those damn WMD put the world on this course we now fear.

How is it that so many people speak so easerly about nuking other countries??? AND MORE INSANE, pre-emptively. So if another country feels US/West MIGHT nuke them would you say "Oh well they felt threatened so its OK for us to be nuked??

In 1991 I watch on T.V. those bombs fall on cities in middle east, in what was described by the US as wanting to create "SHOCK and AWE" this action was to "help the people of that country be free" Hummm, well if some one suggested my country was bombed like that, killing hundreads of thousand times more people that the bad guys they were trying to free the people from, I think I would not be pleased. CRAZY< CRAZY< CRAZY.

Obama proves that they are all the same. The idea that we (the people) live in a truly democratic system IS B.S. It is sadly the reality of most ALL the western 'democratic' political systems today. Peace

The Gallant Man

Is Gallantry lost, or the word abused
For now we feel less incline to use

This term which does describe a man
As brave, and fearless, able to withstand

The dangers and foes that plague our lands
This aggressive trait takes centre stand

Leaves little room for the Nobel to sit.
Not kings, nor Lords, or prize requisite

Not fighters, or doers in fields unmatched
But men who are ready to stand unabashed

As gentle, respectful, considerately deemed
Are these not the men of all women's dreams?

Comfortable with silence, yet able to speak up
hen the need is presented, to defend what he loves

With some knowledge of life, he's attentive, and clean
In mind and in heart, strong, with self esteem.

Is missed and unnoticed, much more if he's straight.
We make him jumps hoops, then we just shut the gate

The moral, protective and faithful counterpart
We moan of his absence, yet ridicule his path

To be what we want, yet a threat to our craft
So many women go for the rough, rogue retard

Who's good looking, ill-mannered, a cool, slick upstart,
Aloof and quite selfish, seeing all females as tarts

Has modern ethos of woman completely denied
The men who is honest, steadfast and refined

Whose expressions, and moods and handsome face
Do not disturb my tranquility, do not leave me frustrate

But give me the freedom to be, well, just me
Progressing and growing, fulfilled and complete

He is peaceful with dignity and happy to wait
For the love he so desire to give just him a break

Stop eroding the qualities of these valued men
With back handed quips that perceive him as fake.

That say he's not needed, required or even attained
Are we women alone happy, to take all of the strains?

We are able and ready to stand with our pride
And some times we have to, when 'love' takes a dive

As mothers and lovers, we manage lives and create
The places of safety, the keepers of pains

We play down the importance of men who might be
By our side, or our mentor, our supporter, our key

Unlocking deep emotions of passions, and dreams
And in seeing our weakness, and not being pristine

The movies and media makes gallant men weak
If they're not blow up people and full of mystique

Showing villains and criminals as hero's to boot
Who wins hearts when seen as "just misunderstood"

Brainwashing that leaves us as only to blame
When we realize its all just a Hollywood game

We think that true gallantry live only in books
For the gallant man is real, if we care to just look.

Do I believe in LOVE??? Absolutely.

failed relationships, broken hearts, or any other unfortunate experience in the acts of love, is no reason not to believe in it.

That saying "Love Hurts" is totally untrue.

YEAH!!!!

I would not like to find a man completely hairless down there. What is it with this trend of making us all like pre-pubescent children??? I can cope with a bit of hair in the mouth, goodness me. And I would not want a man who needed me completely hairless either.

Clean, neat and trim is enough. All this nonsense about it being 'cleaner' the porn industry have made it an expectation for us all now.

Give me a hairy man any day. LOL.

I totally agree mightymoe

Laughing, and happy I popped in

I am not sure how God would be jealous of Satan? If God created a living, conciseness 'machine' which we (and those in other realm/dimensions are part of this 'machine'), and in order for this 'machine' to operate, smoothly, in justice and fairness for ALL, God would have to take steps to deal with those who use their free will egotistically and dishonestly. The word used in the bible that says He, God, is a jealous god, is not in the same way we understand human jealousy.

We all have a part to play, and the freedom to express ourselves and be also creative, but we cannot take what is not ours. That is called stealing, and is punishable in our worldly laws.

Satan is not human, and has free will as well as exceptional abilities. But I get your meaning. If he was perfectly made why did he become bad? what, if anything, influenced him?

Our free will gives us the option to choose bad. An injection of true evil came into humanity at some stage and has poisoned us all.... yet we can still choose to turn away from it and choose to do good. oh wow!!! maybe cowboy was right.

I see your point, but is it not still scientifically agreed that humans learn and are influenced to become evil, hatfil and hurt others.(not included mental/emotionally /chemical imbalances and dysfunction)?

Great example about the baby, I totally agree good can, and did exist, without evil for a short time. The account in Genesis shows how humans where happy knowing just good before they were influenced to believe the lie that God was denying them the power to be like Him. This lie continues up to this day where humans are offered fame, riches, power, in exchange for doing worldly, and often debasing things (which is a way of giving Satan worship and just like he tried to tempt Jesus with)

This is a tough one for me personally, because I left my marriage after 24 years. He is not a Christian, which is no excuse, but the mental torment left me ready to attempt to take my own life on 3 occasions. I still feel huge amount of guilt about it (leaving and those attempts on my life, even though I was suffering deep depression at the time). I have chose to be single, but my weak spirit moves me to want that happy and fulfilling marriage, with someone else. I would love a Christian man but would not want to jeopardize his salvation by being with me. If I find a non-Christian man and my love of Christ moved him to become Christian, again, I would jeopardize his salvation. I pray on it constantly, and ask anyone who loves Christ to pray for Me too. Thanks

Yep, and there's a large portion of Jesus' life that isn't recorded. The bible isn't a diary of God's. It only contains the information needed along the lines of salvation. You would need a fork lift to move the bible if it contrained a copy of all the scriptures we have. Plus would be that much more if none essential things were included that did not pertain to salvation as that is namely what the bible is for.


I totally agree cowboygh

The word 'hell' comes from 'Hades' meaning grave. The concept of people being tortured forever is from Greek mythology, which believed in a place called 'Tartarus' which does seem to fit a place where the wicked go and its a prison for the Titans. I understand that when the word 'Hades' was translated into Greek, the mythology associated with Tartarus came with it. Then Christian leaders and churches used it to scare people into believing.

It is 'hellish' enough that we already live in a world of torment
Existence with God, after this is done away with, is so amazing that we cannot even perceive it full.

The bible does give examples of a place where Satan, his followers and some false prophet/preaches and I would imagine those who knowingly lead millions to their death with lies, its called the abyss. But this concept that all those not meeting Christ will be burning, conscious of this, in pain for ever IS A LIE, as far as I can see

Fear of displeasing God is healthy, and only scary if you do not understand what LOVE is.

We live in a terrible condition, our world ravaged by all sorts of pain and fears, killings, disgusting treatment of human being to another, death and suffering. Most people, even Christians who should know better say. "Why did God make it so?". When did God make it? He gave us, humans, free will and everything we needed to live happy and abundantly. All he asked was that we follow the law, Why do people act as if He asked us to do something bad?? Do we not expect every one to follow laws of the land, today, so that order and fairness prevails???) at that time in our existence, was not many laws to follow. Eating from an actual forbidden tree might have been the crime, or it might be an analogy for something. The point is we humans choose then, that we would not follow Gods law, but create our own. So we did, and this is the result.

But God provided us the chance to still follow Him. So that when this time has run its course, (because it was mot just humans who went against God but some of those in the supernatural realm, who have a great hold and influence on things here.

Science is not real. It is only current. The theories today. Tomorrow they will discover that it was not what they believed because we are dissolving new fact about everything, all the time. The arrogance of human knowledge or understanding blows my mind.

The parables are not real. They are parables, stories to teach a principal or idea.

We don't put faith in the people of myths, it is an account of an oral history like All ancient histories

Hell is not real and not biblically expressed in the way the church teaches, but an analogy of the state one could be in, cut off, permanently, without God, which the religion/church uses to control, Not God. God gave us all free choice, death or life. Eternal torment is not death.

You seem to have many facts on point as far as I understand. You can see the difference between religion (putting faith in an institution of human making and reason which goes against the very doctrine they claim to believe), and faith, (in God the Father, and his Son Yeshua/Jesus establishing a personal relationship and being motivate and guided by them through prayer and faith in the reality and power of them)

I don't get how, if you understand this you can put belief in history? - which is manipulated and retold by whoever is in power, or by whatever nation is telling it, to control and motive people to believe whatever version they want and then used to justify patriotic murder of others? The internet has proven that, with the mountain of untold histories/top secret info that had been supressed, and later released. (and I don't mean conspiracy theories) AND science? Which is controlled by nations and conglomerates and is doing much of the same, producing some of the most hideously destructive, and poisonous inventions to humankind and our planet. When scientists discover things that nation leaders and big business feel will challenge their power or profits they supress it by, character assassinate the scientists, supress patents, cancel funding, media blitz to discredit it, the list goes on.

How is history and science any better than religion to believe in, or to guide you in truth?
