Child Abuse in the Name of Jesus

January 15, 2007 / by mmmhollywould

I really cannot say I recall ever having seen something so disgusting in the name of God, EVER.

If this is Christianity it makes me question my faith.

Seriously is Islam so bad?

    So you are implying the true Christian faith and Jesus are wrong?[HUH][SAD]
    Is there anywhere Jesus promotes such in the Bible?[HUH]
    So you think there is nothing wrong with Muslims prevented by governments becoming a Christian? You actually believe the Muslim faith is better than the True Christianity?
    Ladies and Gentlemen, listen to the words of a former Muslim and I titled the article "From Terrorism To Peace." This article contains articles from a former Palestinian Muslem Walid Shoebat. I hope you watch them:http://unlimited.blogster.com/wallid_shoebat_terrorism.html

    I ask people to read the following and make you OWN DECISION ON WHO YOU WILL CHOOSE: JESUS OR WHATEVER.

    Also, I would also encourage if you so desire read the following:
    http://unlimited.blogster.com/jesus_prophet.html

    I have been rejected by about seven denominations in the Christian sector. I have been told that asking Christ to forgive my sins is not enough to be a member of a church. I was told teaching The Bible was not enough and that I had to have another book to teach The Bible. I know I have received Jesus as Lord and Savior for the forgiveness of sins in my heart. That is all that matters. That is why GOD had me create a blog church: The Church Of Philadelphia Worldwide. No cleaver words I say can get you to Christ you have to realize it on your own will and accord. I can tell you that Jesus loves you and died for your sins and iniquities, but only the Holy Spirit can convict you, GOD and GOD Alone saves. I can say and tell you that there no greater gift than to be a part of something whereby someone receives Jesus and has eternal life and saved from the Eternal Lake of Fire. Look, the devil lives in the extremes not Jesus as scripture supports:

    Philippians 4:5-7 (King James Version)



    5Let your MODERATION be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

    6Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

    7And the PEACE of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

    It is true that Christianity brings a sword, but sword of GOD's love of forgiveness. Jesus has not come to condemn the world but to give life and life abundantly. My war is not against Holly Wood as a person in the flesh, but the doctrien coming out of her and the person promoting the video not where children are being mistreated but the misrepresentaion of Jesus and His True Church.

    Okay let me start by saying this, this is about the video. Did you watch it? Do you think that is okay in the name of Jesus? Seriously? Brainwashing? In the name of Jesus? Turning those children into little Christian soldiers? Not peaceful ones it seemed to me.

    If you bothered to watch you would have seen that this article is about radical Christianity not Islam. I would much rather seem my kids be a normal Muslim as compared to a Radical, psycho-Christian. I of course would prefer these hypothetical kids to be Christina but not of the Phelps variety or this that you see here. Then again each person’s faith path is for them to choose and if it is not Christianity, so be it.

    Now I firmly believe it is you who has a skewed view. I do not have to run off and read a book to learn about the Islamic faith because I have known and do know Muslims and while you may think the small(as compared to the non-radical populous) radical groups represents what a Muslim is, believes and does, you are sorely mistaken.

    However on the same token this is not about the Muslims this article is about that Video. I personally feel that if you or anyone else agrees that what they saw was okay, the brainwashing and manipulation, feel free to move on. I have no need to know you. What I saw is sick.

    On an end note I believe in one God and believe in Jesus but I also believe that one God is the same God of other faiths who chose to reach out to different peoples in different ways. One God many religions.
  • unlimited said 1 years ago
    Yes, I watched all the video. I do not use emotiionalism to create emotionalism. I use objective thinking which may or may not incur outward emotion. I believe a true Chrsitian somewhere in his or her life experience sorrow of the price Jesus paid on the cross for all men and women's sins. However, with objective wisdom about Jesus the beginning of wisdom the fear of The Lord occurs. By the way, did you view the videos I gave? It seems homosexuality is elevated above other sins, but in the end all unforgiven sins end up in the same place and this place exists right now: The Lake Of Fire. I hope you take a look at 'http://www.exodus.to/'. To me it is discussing homosexuality without the condemnation. PORNSUNDAY.COM deals the same way with PORN without the condemantion.[COOL]![THUMBUP][WINK][SMILE]
  • jungleray said 1 years ago
    What these kids are going through in terms of their ecstatic trance state at first, is nothing different than what I have seen and experienced during potent Hare Krsna kirtans. They are not experiencing sadness but ecstasy. What I question, is the way the teachers are using the children's heightened spiritual state and mass trance to manipulate the children and brainwash them. That is what is abusive. The state they are in is extremely sensitive. I have been in that state and I know what they are feeling. It is extremely sinful to use that heightened spiritual trance state to program children's minds, but it is not sinful to allow them to experience the divine ectasy they are experiencing. They must be protected and nurtured and allowed to personally experience that state... not given propaganda.

    And I am convinced that that woman is a dyke!

    And I bet those people preaching about abortion all EAT MEAT!!! [THUMBDOWN][MAD] Animals are God's children too!
  • mmmhollywould said 1 years ago
    I am all for some meat but an interesting note on the dyke part. the male preacher in there was busted for gay sex and doing drugs. Now i do not know any details but I amsure they will not be hard to find :)Nothing wrong with gay sex but when you are preaching fanatical Chritianity that is some serious hypocricy![HEART]

    You know, I do not know what the motive is against abortion. You could be right, but to say all PROLIFE think with the motive you have presented would be wrong. Right? I hope that is your thinking so as to avoid stereotyping. For example all eveolutionist are not kind. I mean that's obsurd! [SMILE]

    I think all of us need to define what really is Christianity and what is not. I mean Crusades, Pogroms, Inquisitions, and Holocausts though most of these activities were done in Jesus name. That does not give antone to say GOD tempts us![SMILE] I believe and think if one compares the Christianity of The Bible to activities done outside Bible claiming to be Christlike you would see many times unfortunately that Jesus and Christianity in the Bible contradict. [SAD][SMILE] I think once that is accomplished one now then has to decide what Jesus in one's life: ACEPT OR REJECT. But, the whole council of The Bible should be carefully considered first by the person deciding their path in life. No one can make that for them. Influence by GOD on decision? Absolutely! However, the will to accept GOD for Who He is in Jesus is solely the person analyzing The Bible and comparing. I think it is called FREE WILL. I believe the gentleman did express that in video. Yes?[WINK][SMILE][THUMBUP]
  • jungleray said 1 years ago
    Can't you see a middle ground here?

    I accept and love Jesus, and so do the Moslems. So do some Jews, actually. But I do not accept Jesus in the same manner you do... as a litmus test of whether you're going to be punished or rewarded. I actually do not believe in heaven and hell, only service. Even if hell existed I would go there if God sent me. I accept Jesus as a guru and a perfect human being who is trying to show us ALL that we are sons and daughters of God. it is not about fear and punishment. It is really sad to me how Christians feel they have to make hell more and more grotesque and horror movie like in an attempt to scare non Christians into converting. Well I have news for you. NOT EVERYONE CARES. And I do not believe that should be the motivation for serving the Lord.

    Does that make me a sinner? [LOL] [THUMBDOWN]

    I believe ALL perfected souls should be worshipped and venerated. If you believe there was only one such being in the universe, then it seems to me that the most basic essence of Christ's message is lost. Christ is an example of who we can all be, and we all are sons and daughters of God. Maybe he was special. I believe he was/is. But at the same time, I do not believe this appearance was the only one God or a pure devotee has made on Planet Earth or other areas of the universe. [HEART]

    why did it censor the word "test??" [HUH]
  • unlimited said 1 years ago
    I am not sure what you meant by "Why did it censor the word#####?"
    I appreciate the fact for your concerns for the love and care for animals, but human life is of far greater value than the animals to GOD. Yes, thee are inhumane things done to animals. There are chickens who never see daylight and are possibly kept in cages until they are slaughtered. I do not approve of that as well. To stereotype Christianity as a whole not caring for animals is so wrong. However, if the man or woman who are to have dominion or the responsibility of taking care of animals are destroyed then there is no caretaker whatsoever to feed the animals of what rights and priviledges bestowed to man. So you see at in that aspect the destruction or holocaust of the unborn will lead to the destruction of GOD's animals. Man has be fearfully and wonderfully made by GOD. You have been fearfully and wonderfully made by GOD. Don't let mistreatment of animals discount concerns for the unborn aborted by making their abortion equivalent to an animal slaughterhouse.

    31Fear ye not therefore, ye are of MORE VALUE than many sparrows.

    32Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

    Because other religion do not acknowledge this before GOD THE FATHER, GOD will deny them because HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE has been denied by not believing the words spoken here by THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, WHO IS JESUS. THUS REPENT BEFORE IT"S TOO LATE!!!!!!![OHMY]
    By grace and no condemnation, I bring good news of Jesus. Thus, by what standard can one say about removing the pseck in someone's eye. Is that not for those who condemned? We are already condemned, all of us and the only way out of this POW camp is throuigh Jesus Christ who is LORD and Savior for The Forgiveness of Sins.
    You call Christians EVIL.. Right? Woe! Look who is trying to take the speck out of one's eye!

    "In reality also the reason we are being attacked by terrorists is because we have no national unity. The terrorists were always there. But why are they attacking us now? Because people like you, as WELL as the extreme liberals, are polarizing this nation and tearing it apart. If we cannot function on a middle ground as we always have, we will lose our power as a nation, and be easy pickings for the terrorists's agenda! Especially if ours mirrors theirs. WE will attract that energy to us"
    A house divide cannot stand not can it? One Nation Under GOD or GODS? You cannot serve two masters. This was the Church of Pergamos''s problem in The Book of Revelation:
    Rev. 2:12-14
    12And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;

    13I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

    14But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

    Don't testistify or promote that that the mistreat of animals therefore gives you justification to have people believe a fabrication that Jesus is not the way, the truth, and the life. For doing so, you believe a LIE.
    You say you love Jesus, yet you deny HIM as GOD because GOD is Love:

    27Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

    29Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

    I have seen people down play evolution with creation and vice versa. I mean in both camps! Look at books by both. Now attacking doctrine is one thing and that is fair game, but people are attacked in both camps. The Bible says our war is not against flesh and blood but doctrine of powers of darkness and principalities. So more more objectivity and less bias because I am convinced the doctrine of The Bible is immovable, on solid rock.[THUMBUP][COOL]!
  • jungleray said 1 years ago
    That is your opinion. But our country is still founded on freedom of religion. And for anyone who believes otherwise...

    Native Americans were here first
    Jews were here in some of the first New World communities, lived in america in the 1600's, financed the Revolutionary war, and were instrumental in the forming of our nation
    Africans were brought to America shortly after the first white settlers, bringing their own religions with them
    The Spanish landed here before we did (OK, they were Christian too, but not English-speaking... for any who had doubts about that)
    There are many religions present in America today and ALL contribute to the economic, cultural and spiritual climate of the US.

    So don't be "limited."

    And for your information the Moslems DO believe that Christ is more than a prophet. They believe he was the son of God, just as Christians do. The only difference is they do not believe in idolizing and worshipping images of him, or putting him in the place of God. I don't agree or disagree (being Jewish myself) but get your facts straight. The Moslems believe that Jesus was born of a virgin birth from Mary and that God was the real father... if you like I will supply the actual suras to prove this.

    I have no idea what you are talking about when you say that I'm stereotyping about pro-lifers. If you read my blog you will know that I am pro-life, at least in my personal life. But I do not believe that I can tell a 13 year old who was raped by her father, to not seek abortion, as terrible as it is. I was not in her shoes and hopefully, neither were you. You cannot judge her... only God can. I believe abortion should be strongly discouraged and not sugar coated as a healthy and normal choice, but I also beleive it is a violence to force a woman who does not believe her baby is sentient, to bear it.

    In my opinion, 90% of most women who seek out abortions, do not really want to, but are either coerced or feel forced by circumstances to do it. But there is a very small percentage that actually wants to, and until SCIENCE can prove that a 2-week old embryo is sentient, using the argument "but God created life," does not fly in the face of medical science.

    I PERSONALLY believe God creates life. I would never abort, no matter if it was a one day blastocyst or a living breathing baby. I do believe in laws limiting abortion to the first three weeks (before the heartbeat forms, in which case it is, in my opinion, a baby). Unfortunately you or I do not yet have the technology to prove that a baby before that, is officially a baby, and I cannot force my religious beliefs on others.

    In the end, Unlimited, science prevails because science is actually a measurement of God's works. Don't you realize this?? Support science. Eventually science will prove you right, although maybe not in the way you think, because in reality, most of us have a limited concept of God's works.

    Creationism and evolutionism can exist side by side. It is very easy actually to disprove strict Darwinian evolution, just from a perspective of how mutations occur, scientifically. We have no recorded evidence of an actual shift from one species to another... just mutations. And who on earth said God couldn't have created dinosaurs??? I mean come on. You probably don't know what you are talking about either. I consider myself a creationist. But I don't pretend to know all the ins and outs of how God created. God works in mysterious ways and it is totally possible for God to have created species for a particular purpose, that no longer exist on Earth today.

    Open your mind and try to be less Limited. If you really see into things, the Christian truth and reality of God exists in other religions as well, just not in the way you expect to find!! God is an UNLIMITED ocean with many shores. Yours is not the best... just one valid one that you feel comfortable with. Just because some Moslems convert to Christianity does not make it any more valid, than someone deciding they prefer chocolate over vanilla. They were simply attuned to the vibration of Christianity, that's all.

    BTW... show me the exact Biblical quote where it says we are against "powers of darkness and its prinicpalities."

    And what are the powers of darkness?? Who defines it??

    And who defines when the fight becomes a violation of someone's personal spiritual boundaries?? Is it OK to put someone that practices Wicca in jail, to burn gays at the stake, or to kick all Jews out of the country because they do not worship Christ as God? Is this the vision of a Christian America? I know you haven't said all these things and these statements may seem extreme, but... I am posing a valid question: when does your authority to "fight the powers of darkness" end, and who decides what they are?? The Bible? Well what about the many other religions in this country, most of whom practice basically sound ethics??

    Honestly, it sounds like you're getting ready for the next Inquisition, by the tone of your words. If that is not your intention, that's fine, but please clarify so I will better understand. [HUH]

    You know, I do agree with the gentleman on how the kids expressed on willing to die. What did they mean willing to die for their faith. Die in physical combat even if it means take out the bad person? Governments were made to erradicated eveil things GOD ordained and lowers when bad such as Nazi Germany which HE through governments destroyed. We tend to fight instead of going to GOD for help.So it is a good question to ask what the motive of these kids will be. Do you bomb abortion clinics? I don't think GOD appreciates believers doing such. At the same time, I do not think GOD enjoys our governement doing holocaust on the unborm either. Lookat the pictures here and you will see what I mean [Brace youirselves]: www.abortionno.com. [OHMY][SMILE]
  • jungleray said 1 years ago
    You know, I am pro life as well, unlimited, but I could also show you pictures of what goes in in a meat slaughterhouse and factory farms, and you will also feel a similar horror.

    www.meetyourmeat.com

    And if you believe that the animals are ok to abuse in this manner because "we have dominion over the animals" then your concept of God is a lot more limited than I could ever imagine.

    God created ALL creatures. And if God created some as for meat (which actually early Genesis states otherwise, even though animal sacrifice and meat eating became common practice later on after the Fall), it would be natural that if we have dominion over them we are supposed to TAKE CARE of them and LOVE them and only kill them when necessary... and in the most humane manner possible.

    Moslems and Jews have special slaughter practices that are aimed at diminishing the animal's pain. They also both avoid eating unclean animals such as pigs, which will eat human babies and stool if you let them (my husband saw one eating a baby in Africa and I saw plenty eating stool in India). If Jesus made some rhetorical (rhetorical) comment about what you put in the mouth not defiling you, but only what goes out of it, do you take that literally? Do you REALLY think that Jesus ate pork? There is no evidence he even ate meat. In fact Jesus lived was a Nazarene. DId you know that the Nazarene sect practiced vegetarianism and fasting?

    The Moslems and Jews practice ritual fasting. THey practice humane (or at least attempted to be humane) slaughter and observe cleanliness rules about diet. Do Christians?

    Before you start looking at all the specks in everyone else's eyes, go get a tissue and wipe out all the dirt in your own. No religion is perfect. I also agree abortion is a symptom of spiritual, emotional and moral poverty and is a disease on our society. But I also believe the way we treat animals is so disgusting as to be a holocaust of its own. I also believe that sending our children off to war without just cause (and the war in Iraq has been PROVEN to be founded on false or misguided principles, and is financially depleting our nation, who can't even fund our schools right now) is EVIL.

    In short, I am pro-life and not inconsistent about it.

    I am pro-peace (unless there is truly important cause for war, such as being attacked or a politically devastating genocide or invasion going on... in reality, such things happen all the time on a small scale and we just cannot get involved each time). I am pro-vegetarianism and pro-life in my DIET. I am pro-life in that I support constructive welfare support, job and leadership training, and education of single mothers until they can get on their feet. I am pro-life in that I support education, I support character development classes in school (anger management, conflict resolution, citizenship etc), and gvt subsidized daycare, which is necessary for a society in which single mothers can feel confident their kids are ok while they work (often in bad neighborhoods).

    And by the way I also support mandatory military service for all Americans... but not mandatory draft. I think everyone should have the chance to experience military training, and the pacifists can use that time to do volunteer work that no one else wants to do, like work with disadvantaged or mentally handicapped kids. Everyone should be obliged to serve our country in some way for two years. They do this in Europe and they have no problems getting recruits. We are breeding a generation where half the kids are being raised to be fanaticaly pro-military and the other half is lazy, but in reality I believe everyone should pitch in their share to ASSURE peace in the long run (between americans).

    In reality also the reason we are being attacked by terrorists is because we have no national unity. The terrorists were always there. But why are they attacking us now? Because people like you, as WELL as the extreme liberals, are polarizing this nation and tearing it apart. If we cannot function on a middle ground as we always have, we will lose our power as a nation, and be easy pickings for the terrorists's agenda! Especially if ours mirrors theirs. WE will attract that energy to us. [THUMBDOWN]

    "Does that make me a sinner?"
    So you say.
    "And I bet those people preaching about abortion all EAT MEAT!!! Animals are God's children too!"
    Thus saith The Lord:
    Acts 10-11:13 (King James Version)
    King James Version (KJV)
    Public Domain



    Acts 10
    1There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,

    2A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

    3He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.

    4And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.

    5And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:

    6He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

    7And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;

    8And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.

    9On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:

    10And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,

    11And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

    12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

    13And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

    14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

    15And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

    16This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.

    17Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,

    18And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

    19While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.

    20Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.

    21Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?

    22And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.

    23Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

    24And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends.

    25And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.

    26But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

    27And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

    28And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

    29Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?

    30And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

    31And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

    32Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.

    33Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

    34Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

    35But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

    36The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

    37That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

    38How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

    39And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

    40Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;

    41Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

    42And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

    43To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

    44While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

    45And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

    46For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

    47Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

    48And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

    Acts 11
    1And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

    2And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

    3Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

    4But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,

    5I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:

    6Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

    7And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

    8But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.

    9But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

    10And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

    11And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.

    12And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:

    13And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;

    "So don't be "limited."

    And for your information the Moslems DO believe that Christ is more than a prophet. They believe he was the son of God, just as Christians do. The only difference is they do not believe in idolizing and worshipping images of him, or putting him in the place of God. I don't agree or disagree (being Jewish myself) but get your facts straight. The Moslems believe that Jesus was born of a virgin birth from Mary and that God was the real father... if you like I will supply the actual suras to prove this."

    I would love for you to provide these suras to me! Sure! However, listen to me no greater love than JESUS, The best friend to lay his life down for our sins while we were yet sinners. Unworthy we are yet by grace it is so!
    Thus since GOD is LOVE, and Jesus declared GOD by The Bible due to asking Jesus to forgive my sins, I KNOW JESUS IS GOD!

    "BTW... show me the exact Biblical quote where it says we are against "powers of darkness and its prinicpalities." "

    Ephesians 6:11-13 (King James Version)
    King James Version (KJV)
    Public Domain



    11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

    12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

    13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
