True wisdom comes from Christ, and the reading of His Word. Only then can the clouding sin has caused on our human reasoning to be lifted just a little bit so that we can see just a little more clearly. The Bible is the foundation of the Christian faith. It is the only source of Christian law given to us from God. If you throw it out the window; you throw Christianity out of the window. As to Christianity being a young religion; put very simply LOL. Christianity is the first religion, the only true religion. All theology is Christology, and Christ is promised to Adam and Eve right after they sinned in the garden. Give me your older religions. The false ones that claim to be dated before Christianity.

One must first rid themselves of their preconceptions first though. Open your mind to the wisdom that can be found in all religions...for none are really that different. As a matter of fact, most religions are very much the same...they just have different names for the same archetypes present in their corresponding mythologies. For your information, Christianity, being one of the youngest religions on this planet, has taken many of its morals, traditions, and mythological stories from older religions. None are THAT different. In fact, there are far more similarities than there are differences.

I make the comment about your reading other books simply because almost EVERY post you make is quoting or paraphrasing the bible. It seems to me you have no other reasoning for your positions other than one book. I look for a sign of personal enlightenment on your part and have not yet seen one. I truly hope you are more open minded than you portray yourself to be, but I am afraid of the opposite.

I seem to always find your responses to my posts refreshing.
You've got to understand this one thing all my posts come from knowledge, of Jesus Christ (the present) he is a living witness to me. He being everything that is written of him demands my complete devotion and loyalty ;I live and breathe Jesus. He called
me alone and blessed me as he did our Father Abraham.
Jesus is the wisdom of God and in proverbs eight I learned that this wisdom rejoices before God, and so do I. I rejoice for the things that I see in Jesus. Now I see these things through the eye of faith which is given to me.
I'm a gusher and I know it. Christ lives in me, and I know this by experience. I know him to be every thing that the bible says. And if he is..... then all the others are not the real thing for He said "all power in heaven and earth is given to me."

you are aware that the bible has several prophecies of Muhammad right? and that christianity was developed by Paul of Tarsus, the "spouter of lies". I would recommend a book called "The Dead Sea Scrolls and the First Christians" by Robert Eisenman for you. it tells of the real first christians as told in unaltered historical scrolls rather than the letters of a liar, murderer, and thief.
when the pharisees came to see John in the wilderness they asked if he was Elijah, the messiah, or the prophet. we know he was Elijah, and we know Jesus to be the messiah, that leaves the prophet to be......that's right, its Muhammad. Jesus also said there would be a comforter(christians incorrectly interpret this as the holy ghost) after him who would not speak of himself, but what he hears, that is exactly what Muhammad did.there is another one of the prophet coming with a fiery religious law, i think it is in Isaiah, but i can't remember for sure.

It's a good thing that I'm not a Texan anymore after living there for over 7 years because the world is now seeing how Texan's truly are.

And it's also a good thing that I don't vote anymore because it seems that anyone can get elected twice for President no matter how many registered voters there are.

My advice mister khan if you live in Tejas is to move before you get gunned down by some grandmother that's packin a piece!

And for those who do not know.... in Texas all you need is a drivers license to carry a gun in Austin and Houston. Don't know about the rest of the cities and don't wanna know either now that I'm a "yankee" again!

I'm not sure I should have any input in this, not being a USofA resident.
However, I think that people who vote (Whichever way they vote) do so for the best possible reasons (Oh yes, I have faith in human nature). If they voted for the 'wrong guy', it is not out of stupidity, or malice - it just goes to show what good confidence tricksters polititians are.

Do not feel ashamed for having being duped; the sin and the shame lies with the 'duper' (I don't think that's a word, but it will serve it's purpose) not the duped.

Hypocrites elected a hypocrite to be president twice.
Our first clue should have been when Karla Faye Tucker executed in Texas when He was governer of the great State O Texas. He had (the power) a chance to grant her clemency and commute her sentence to life in prison. Her life was in his hands and he gave her up.
For those who don't know or remember, Karla faye Tucker is the pick axe murderer. She being high and insane by drug use, killed a pair in bed with a pick axe. She was converted to Christ Jesus according to reports. And was transformed on death row and If I'm not mistaken was in ministry and in the testimony of the Lord. The glory of God being revealed in her life. As her day with death approached her fame and renown began to grow. It was appearant that the character which killed the couple in bed was no longer there, Just the testimony of Jesus. This Bush cut off by allowing the law to slay her who was a new creature in Christ. He therefore cut off Jesus; by denying her a life sentence which is what Jesus gives us when we receive him into our lives, he clearly demonstrates that he like cain will condemn the innocent, and kill that which is holy: He will sign a measure which may prolong the life of Terry Schiavo which I am not against;but I am informed that the measure may well be unconstitutional. Do you see the difference; when he had a chance to honor Jesus in Karla he turns his back on that which is holy and cuts it off. But now before a national audience he will break the law for someone who has only a glimmer of hope, only a spectre of a chance to glorify Jesus by getting off her bed and going home because I have seen no servant of the lord step up to the plate and represent Jesus in the form where she is restored whole,
Completely healed.
Those of us who witnessed this first hand, mainly the people in the state of Texas are therefore guilty of not recognizing the nature of satan in him for only satan would kill or cut off the testimony of the Lord Jesus. we are responsible for the honour and glory and praise and the blessing of the name of Jesus. We praise God for that which is Good. And when a person like Karla Faye Tucker wants to spend the rest of her life in prison praising God we should ablige her. If she was faking we being Christian would have mercy on her, for this is always our nature. mercy. This we did not see in Gw Bush, In this is his true nature revealed. Oppurtunity to use the law on Jesus' behalf, without breaking the law. No Christian will kill his brother; we are not allowed to even kill our enemies. Does anyone have any idea what the mark of the beast is yet?
According to my knowledge it's already been here, for a long time. If this is true what seat (throne) would satan create or establish for himself to occupy so that he might make all nations to worship him?

If I was sitting on death row awaiting execution,I would tell the world I was homosexual and then prove it on national television if it would get me off death row.You can't trust anything a person in that position says.

Typical muslim garbage and lies.Amazing how muslims constantly denigrate the Bible as corrupt and contaminated,and then want to "prove"Muhammad is in there.You insist on calling Paul a liar and then take offense when it's pointed out how Muhammad was a murderer and child rapist.

You ask..then okay...here goes...

Christianity is only about 2000 years old and if you are referring to the Old Testement of the Jewish faith...that has been dated to 6000 or so years old. The Earth is millions of years old...do you truly think that there were no other religions on this planet before the bible came about? Evidence of Pagan deities worshiped throughout the world have been dated to about 30,000 years ago. BIG difference in time and age. Not to mention that the mythologies of these other religions have the same stories and archetypes present as Christianity had developed later...every newer religion borrows from older ones which is why there are so many similarities.

Even religious holiday traditions are "borrowed". Christmas and Easter traditions and symbols have been borrowed heavily from other faiths.

I have to go to work now, but will be back later if you want further explanations and comparisons...for I can go on for quite some time with the comparisons of archetypes and traditions between religions. See you all later.
