Re: Is "Justifiable Homicide" acceptable in Christianity ?
How would one interpret "Thou shall not Kill" then ? I know that if it was in defense of children (say a person with a machine gun was attacking them), I guess i might have to kill if it was the only option available and that the death to those children was imminent. This is mainly because...

Is "Justifiable Homicide" acceptable in Christianity ?
Situation: Your caught up in a war. An angry, armed crowd is approaching you very fast while shooting everything down that stands in their way. You have your thumb on the detonator ready to blow them to kingdom come. What do you do ? Note: there are some Christians that would say it would be ok in t...

Re: God and Humanity according to Christian Mysticism
I guess there are different views of faith. From what you have said, it is an acknowledgement of truth - in some form? Not necessarily a knowledge of faith or the Bible? According to the Bible, every human being is given faith from birth, so we all have a capacity, especially as children to connect...

Re: God and Humanity according to Christian Mysticism
Huh? That sounds like ''Eat your cake, then bake it!''. You'll have to explain your ideas more clearly. What exactly are you saying? Hi F.L.! Nothing to do with cakes and baking. It's to do with asking...as in "Ask and you will receive". I asked and received. Not even having faith. Such a...

Re: God and Humanity according to Christian Mysticism
Nicely put Starhunter. I reckon you and F.L. could write a book and call it something like:- "Starthunter's and Furstentum's New-New-Testament and Book-of-Revelations-Addendum for the Christian Apologetic and Seeker of Truth and anyone else who dares to ask questions about the bible" :-) I...

Did Jesus come to cause Trouble and Disunity ? Absolutely !
Matt 10:34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn "'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law- -a man's enemies will be the members of his o...

Re: God and Humanity according to Christian Mysticism
I have found that the fundamental teachings of mysticism are taught in every religion of the world from the direct teachings of the occult to the diluted forms in false doctrine, from New Age to Marian-ism. Indeed...LittleHamster, you need to get off this broad road of ''Christian'' Mysticism quick...

Re: Love for Jahovah's Witnesses
Thanks for your post Loneworld errr, I mean Lonewolf. By the way its "Little Hamster" not "Little Hammer" lol. Anyway, I tend to agree with what you have said. The thing that stuck in my mind with the two JW's that I spoke to was that they strictly believed that they were not one...

Using all the accumulated scientific knowledge of the past 10 billion years, I'm now going to tell you exactly what a little known fruit called the 'Miracle' fruit tastes like !!!!!! Oops........I cant. You're going to have to eat the fruit and experience it directly for yourself . I guess it goes l...

Ok, ok, I've come up with a (rather crude) analogy. I'm still unsure of how accurately it portrays whats going on.

Re: Why is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit an 'unrepentable' si
Thank you for your posts everyone. I'm starting to get an idea about why this sin is unrepentable but still having a little trouble reasoning this it out or even finding a possible analogy for it. Anyway, here are a few more quotes...... It is interesting what Mark 3:28-30 said, ie., because "H...
