Israel have a sovereign right to their land no matter what.... the argument. All creation belongs to God, if he wants to give that piece of Land to the Israelites, that is His sovereign Right.
If anyone comes against Israel to remove that, they will have to contend with God Almighty.

If they wanted to help, they should help but not politicize Israel Land.

I don't see anything wrong with that video. And it wasn't portray God or Christian in any bad way too.

I personally don't watch that show, not even 1 episode.

If you look at the character, it is actually seeking for an answer through his questioning.

I find your comment is not being fair. 

haih...don't look so highly on me like that, I'm just like anyone else.

I have terrible flaws in my life but the things is...this is where I've learn to fight the battle in my mind...to see how God sees us instead of us evaluating ourselves.

And yes to confirm what you said.. I'm a church worker.

Bible Lesson time!!!!!

Show me the verse sista!

The problem is that we cannot simply define Christianity as we like and deemed fit, no matter how nice it sounds from human philosophical understanding.

It has to be based on the word of God as the root basis.
What you're saying here has a bit of merit but not really accurate either.

Some of us here are in our 40's, 50's.

Don't mind me asking..How long have you been a  Christian?

No offend intended but if you were to go through all you posting  again for your mentioned topic, you sound like you got a bone to pick here.

Yeah, maybe i am assuming too but anyone who read through your post will have the same thought, Christian or not. So you can't blame people for assuming unless you change the way you present your thought.

Cheers. . .

Yeah, even though I do agree with most of the thing you mentioned here, still, personally, I am of the opinion that we still do need to continue doing good deeds.

Hope he won't burn the whole forest just because of a few 'bad' trees if you know what i mean.

Just  for discussion purposes. .
So, as long as you accepted Christ as your savior, its ok to 'misbehave' or do things that is not right?

Lol, no no no. .

What crossed my mind was the Singapore Pastor's case.

I asked a simple question and till now nobody has answered it. YOU included. I didn't justify anything. And im a nut job just cuz I chose to challenge your hypocrisy?? And u calling me a nut job makes u more Christian?

That's why I say a beautiful religion is lost on followers like you because you think our religion is just about memorising the Bible and quoting verses. And that crap about just because you accept Christ that means ure saved. Do u think its that easy to be saved? Accepting Christ is NOT about throwing Holy water on your head and memorising the Bible. Its about a full transformation of self. You don't need to be Baptised to go to Heaven. Its all about your life and the way u live it and the message you send to the people around you. Strangers should know ure a Christian not by the Cross u wear around your necks or the Bible verses you quote but by the way you live your life. They need to see God in YOU!

THE BIGGEST ENEMY OF ANY RELIGION IS ITS OWN FOLLOWERS!

Don't ever forget that!

Well, I do agree that NOT ALL ex-Christians are hostile towards their previous belief but I think I am not wrong to say, for some reason, many of them are.
Now, why is that so? (I am curious to know the TRUTH behind it, so maybe you can enlighten me)

In your life, you are free to choose and choose what to believe. So, by your own wisdom, you decided to spend more time getting to know about Christianity right? So, along the way, you weigh, base on your own decision and opinion, on how much more you would like to commit yourself to it. So you did.

Now for some reason, things don't look as rosy as it was implied to you and you begin to have doubts. So, in the end, you decided Christianity is not your solution to your life.

Now, my question is, what did Christianity take away from you? Did Christianity owe you anything? WHAT IS IT that don't meet your expectation, so much so that like there is hatred, or a score to settle. Search your heart and ask yourself and like to said, I am curious to know too.

Maybe you have a torn with some fellow Christian's attitude, me too but there's nothing you or me can do about it. I can just hope they realize and changed, that's all.

Yes, I understand and generally those are the reasons why some give up. What I am asking is something more in depth that to a point where grouses embedded deep in their heart. I feel its a cause for concern.

Not many people can think or reason rationally. Most will tend to extend their grouses like casting a fishing net or firing a short gun. It could be an inner desire to satisfies their great disappointment. I am sure at certain point of time in life, they may take a step back and review their reaction when they came to a cross road.

IF in the cases of dissatisfaction arises from some attitude of some so called frequent church goes, who is/are suppose to bear 'proper' witness to their 'new' brothers/sisters but failed miserably, I think 'these' people should share the 'burden' carry by those who subsequently opt out of Christianity.

tinarhian - daylight savings! I had one extra hour of sleep! Lol

Sigh, I don't know but I don't think that's the way to go.
