threatening you life saved you? being threatened helps you find jesus
love? threatening others will do what for you soul?
no really? what does meanacing someone life do for your spiritual
growth? how appealing do you see this as being? how encouraging and
hopeful do all these threats seem to you?
what happened to real people? real problems? and current
situations? what happened to real christians helping each other cause
life is hard? no everyone has to be afraid of death and jesus and
god? fear is more important in salvation than anyother possible
action in our lives?
when in doubt sow fear?
in love with the living loving jesus,
merlin

salvation is an emotional reaction to fear.
we are thinking too small, we have all been around for billions of
years in spirit, we will be around for billions more years in spirit,
we are not talking about a 100 years of life around earth and that's
it. we are talking about eternity roaming the universe...... yes
looking for god looking for adventure looking for love......
and all you got to say about the rest of etnerity is what? you need
to be saved? how about some survival skills for the next billion
years of spiritual life?

christians are the modern pharisees, where laws are more important
than people. this was jesus message, keep your faith and stay
practicle too.

why not find jesus and god for real, cut out the faith part? as jesus
did not believe jesus knew god.

physical religious sounding ritual will not get us into heaven.
cutting off a kid's penis or mutalating someone's genitailia is not
salvation, it is a tribal ritual.

we do not kill people for yahweh. no where in the bible is there a
completed human sacrefice for god. romans loved to eat the dead to
inherit their property, it is the first scene in falini's satyricon.
watch it sometime, it shows much of the origins of christianity in old
rome. before mtv.

this is worship of a human which yahweh forbids. jesus was a
