Anonymous Coward User ID: 47217 United States 07/07/2006 07:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | btw, heres' a clue for ya : Quoting: BlueDolphin"Would that all would know, much more may be done by prayer, then through all the power and might of men..." Yes ... I like that. Do-gooders working out of the lower ego, busy and frantic, seldom accomplish anything of lasting benefit. Genuine "good works" with real impact can only proceed from the spiritual realms. One person in deep prayer/meditation is producing far more postive spiritual enegy and potential than a thousand "active" crusaders working from the emotional level. They are "active" ... but not on the causal levels! As far as the Jesus emoticon ... IMHO there are just too many emoticons, period ... makes the site seem more like a cartoon for kids instead of a forum for intelligent discussion. I realize that a picture is worth a thousand words, but then again ... the MSM knows people generally can't or don't read ... and they love pictures for the *emotional* impact. I myself am not interested in emphasizing emotions over intellect. Sorry to sound so snooty ... |
Islamic_Guy User ID: 113670 Canada 07/07/2006 07:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nobody really knows what the Christ looked like Chuck. Quoting: Pizza Face 65221Actually this has always made me laugh. Christ was not white, yet he always is porteyed with anglo-saxon features. He was a Jew, so he probably looked like a Jew would now, but with more hardened features, bacause life then was a toil, and his skin would have been like that of a VERY tan white person, with a large hairy beard, as is the custom in the middle east, then and now. Why is he always portrayed as a white hippy? The imperialists see extremists everywhere. It's not that we are extremists. It's that the world is waking up. It's waking up all over. And people are standing up. - Hugo Chavez. |

I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— |

Kay User ID: 72054 United States 07/07/2006 07:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think many of the pictures we have today are based on the Shroud of Turin, an image which has been burned into what is thought to be the burial shroud of Jesus Christ. Many Jews look very white, and you cannot really notice the difference between Caucasians and Jews. |

Obviously I don't think you know the truth, so what is the point? Why don't you just respect my beliefs and I will respect yours, OK? And if you try to say that Christians believe something we don't, then I will correct you. You guys bait Christians all the time, then expect us to run away and hide. Well, none of us do that, do we? Nearly every thread here has something about religion, and we all share what we believe, so why don't you calm down?
