Duchess Jack Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I consider myself a Christian, but... I cannot understand how any being of any wisdom would make something that was unerring, but at the same time allow it to be, so often, misinterprited and used for evil. The two concepts seem at odds with each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpwallace49 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 It's sort of a risk though. If she can produce a bloody sheet, then you've got to pay her dad and be her husband for the rest of your life. Just take that under advisement. I wonder what the current silver shekel to dollar exchange rate is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpwallace49 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 At least it's not gold shekels. You need to ask Ron Paul. He is a big fan of returning to the shekel standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneymakers Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 What is this war of 1967 you speak of. God could not have possible had anything to do with it. Two reasons war with Iran is closer Officials from the International Atomic Energy Agency begin meetings with Iran today in Vienna. The stakes couldn't be higher, for two reasons. First, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing for war. He shocked his country last week by bringing the opposition party into his governing coalition. The last time Israel formed a unity government was in May 1967, when the nation faced war with Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. The result was the Six-Day War that saved Israel from annihilation. Now Netanyahu has built a similar coalition that will strengthen his ability to go to war with Iran if necessary. Israel has already stated that if negotiations fail, they will attack Iran rather than allow Tehran to develop nuclear weapons that could launch a Holocaust in six minutes. Netanyahu forfeited September elections that would have guaranteed him another four years in power--that's how urgent he considers this moment to be. What could cause Israel to attack Iran? A second development in today's news: disclosure of an Iranian explosive containment chamber that can be used only for nuclear arms-related tests. A secret informant risked his life to smuggle this information out of the Parchin military site. The chamber's existence shows that Iran's claims to be seeking only peaceful nuclear power are untruthful. If Israel and Iran go to war, will Hezbollah and Hamas attack Israel? Will other Muslim nations join the conflict? Will the United States become involved? What will happen to oil supplies and a global economy still struggling to recover from recession? (A recent poll indicates that 62% of Americans believe our economy is back in recession.) What can we do to forestall war? Support Israel. After numerous trips to the Holy Land, I have learned this fact: the more Israel knows we will stand with them, the less they believe they must act on their own. How does this fact affect Christians today? We cannot influence the Supreme Leader of Iran or the prime minister of Israel. But we can speak to the King of Kings. In fact, he instructs us to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels'" (Psalm 122:6-7). And he calls us to pray for "all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness" (1 Timothy 2:2). It has been four decades since daily intercession for the Middle East was as urgent as it is now. This is a battle we must join on our knees. thank you Mr. Denison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennykravitz2004 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) I consider myself a Christian, but... I cannot understand how any being of any wisdom would make something that was unerring, but at the same time allow it to be, so often, misinterprited and used for evil. The two concepts seem at odds with each other. Mostly, for what seems to justify a war. As a no-longer-really-practicing-Catholic, I always try to encourage religion in people's lives, even if it's not mine. In my view, the "nuts and bolts" of all religions preach love, or ideally would preach that in their messages. How can that be a bad thing? I don't know either, but it all-too-often happens like DJ said. Crusades, jihads, whatever you prefer...
