It is not just…[Read more]

I dunno, I suppose because others worry about the things I don't believe in . I live in the bible belt ya know.

See? You're confused in who you are talking to. OR, and I can get this, you are trying to insult either Stu or I by “confusing” us. Harassment is not tolerated on this site.

94,There is yet another possibility: the Jewish Messiah will never come. Just as Jesus will never return. Both of these are hopeful expectations of superstitious primitive people. And some superstitious modern ones too.

Then why do you harass me?

Are you certain? What is your measuring stick?Another cop-out Nick. What is worship, and how is it carried out?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 21 2008,18:30)Hi KJ, Then learn from the sacred writings.Which came from the imaginations of primitive Jewish minds. You still have not said how you worship. What say ye?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 21 2008,16:54)Hi KJ,The kingdom is of heaven.Yes, I know. But since earth is all we mortals REALLY know, what works in the imagination is only as real as the imagination.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 21 2008,15:55)Hi KJ,So what is written of him is true. You are just sad that you do not see everything fulfilled yet? Hang aboutJust hang out and look to the sky? Nah, God would have me do better things with the life I'm giving besides pine away waiting on nothing.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 21 2008,15:54)Hi KJ, Read the passages and you will learn the ways of worship and prayer in Christ.If you cannot understand them then tell us your ideas.Sorry Nick, but you're still trying to avoid the question. How do YOU worship Nick?

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 21 2008,13:19)Hi KJ,Luke 18:8I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?Likely not, especially 1000 years from now when Jesus still has not returned.
