And loan forgiveness will not sway me. Even though med school will cost me ~$500k after all the interest on loans, over a 30 yr career earning &amp;gt;$100k less annually makes loan forgiveness chump change. Besides, I could have joined the military or other govt programs already and gone to school for free.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;While I understand why we need more primary care docs, the lifestyle, paperwork and huge patient panels are not attractive. The culture of medicine, which at times looks down on primary care, puts up another barrier for students. It would take a substantial increase in pay for me to consider primary care. Before you think I'm just another greedy soon-to-be doctor, put yourself in my place. We're all rational actors, why should I choose a career for a fraction of the money than other doctors? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Instead, I am leaning towards EM. Still get to see a huge variety of pts and disease, no call, better pay than primary care, and it's parts of medicine I am interested in. Plus, I still get to feel good for helping the less fortunate and being in the trenches of the US health care system, and have the possibility of getting a schedule with built-in time off to use my skills in a charity/relief manner (yay shift work!)</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:03:38 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: SimOK</title><link>http://kevnull.disqus.com/simok/#comment-4696683</link><description>Sims has to be the most addictive game I have ever played (not that I've played many), but I remember many all nighters...  until I got fed up juggling 10 friends in the game.

I have had quite a bit of dental work done recently &amp;amp; then got an abcess.  In addition to that, I've been having a ton of pain in all teeth (randomly) and in my jaw, extending to my cheeks.  I've been on an antibiotic for the last week to clear the infection from the abcess, and I even got some Lortab from the dentist (doesn't work/last as long as ibuprofen, though).  Hmmm.  I've been searching today to see if there might be another culprit &amp;amp; it seems there is--possibly TMJ.  I have another appt. with the DDS in 2 days &amp;amp; will ask about it then.  I have symptoms very similar to yours.  I want to see what the oil thing is, though.  I guess I'll be poking through here to check it out.  Thanks for the great info!  I was suspecting TMJ more &amp;amp; more today as I searched, &amp;amp; now I'm pretty well convinced.  I'm due to get an occlusal (sp?) guard when my vast array of dental work is completed, but now I'm wondering if I should put off the rest of the work for a while to let my jaw clam down.  But, then again, the guard would probably be helpful.  Guess I'll ask the DDS on Wednesday.  Thanks again for the info!</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 07 Jan 2008 16:30:59 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: TMJ and me&amp;#8230; the real culprit?</title><link>http://yardsnacker.disqus.com/tmj_and_me8230_the_real_culprit/#comment-7279532</link><description>Oops!

He's built such a good franchise that no Bronco fan can stand losing, most  teams would kill for the win records we always but up (even 9-7)I was not a fan of the play-calling this year, but most expexted there to be a rough transition from Kubiak. Stick with Mike because he is the reason we have a Champ Bailey, a Jay Cutler, a Wilson  and why vets keep resigning like Smith and Nalen, and 2 superbowls. Some say Elway was the only reason, well Dan Reeves had 3 chances with John  and never came close. Mike won two in his first 4 years.Mike Shanahan IS the Denver Broncos, I only pray that the Shanahan-Bowlen team goes on forever.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 05 Jan 2007 23:50:42 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Indy offers lesson in balance</title><link>http://allthingsbroncos.disqus.com/indy_offers_lesson_in_balance/#comment-16340329</link><description>Shanahan does sometimes dodge some rightful criticism but to me  calling Griese and Plummer scapegoats is not looking at the big picture. Griese being made the starter ahead of Brister was a mistake and Mike admits that but he didn't just throw a 'hatchet at him'. He gave Brian ever oppurtunity to suceed over those 3-4 years, but Griese just isn't a championship quaterback, that's why he's played back-up in Miami, Tampa Bay, and now in Chicago BEHIND Rex Grossman. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Plummer on the other hand had a really messy dismissal, and obviously didn't deserve all the bad press he got in his years in Denver, but still I think everyone knows his play wasn't  the reason we were winning most our games but it was one of several key factors why we lost the ones we did. I think Shanahan knows what kind of quaterback is needed to win a SB, having won 3 with Young and Elway. So saying he backstabbed all his quaterbacks isn't fair. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Broncos fans are lucky that every single year is supposed to be a playoff year, we could be a Detroit Lions or Browns that anything above .500 is cause for celebration. Shanahan isn't perfect but he keeps Denver an elite football town every year, missing the playoffs after three straight appearances isn't all bad, becasue wait, no Denver coach has ever gone 4 straight times, never. Shanahan's surronding cast aren't all getting the "fail" as you called it, cutting coaches and players isnt betrayal, its a good coaches responsibility to make those tough calls and let people go.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 13 Feb 2007 10:46:32 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Broncos find backup QB</title><link>http://allthingsbroncos.disqus.com/broncos_find_backup_qb/#comment-16342077</link><description>The reason why is the Broncos need a guy who can manage a game and be comfortable if Cutler goes down, Ramsey has a lot more starting experience than most other free agent quaterbacks now that Brad Johnson is unavailable.

I rode my bike there and on the way passed a gigantic limo parked in the bike lane next to the bat house on campus (it was dusk and they were starting to leave).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;There were tons of cars on the road and I did not relish having to go into traffic around the limo, so yelled to the driver standing next to the limo, "This is not a parking lane!"  Immediately after which my husband, from behind me, said, "You know that was Bobby Kennedy, don't you?"  He and some students had stopped on the way to his speech to look at the bats.  Needless to say, I thought that was hilarious.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Laurie's introduction was quite good (and although I do see the hypocrisy, I see the benefits also), and Kennedy's was out of this world--amazing speech.  I am still not sure what to think about the limo and blocking the bike lane, except to say that it can probably be blamed on the lack of ingenuity of the conference organizers more than on Kennedy himself.  They thought a limo would be a great way to get everyone around, and to show their gratitude.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 29 Mar 2006 14:08:29 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Goldman Sachs Investors Are TreeHuggers</title><link>http://treehuggercomments.disqus.com/goldman_sachs_investors_are_treehuggers/#comment-17466272</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Well, not all GS shareholders are treehuggers.

So we see that the sin man influnced the sovienty choice of God. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt; And yes...God is Lord over both evil and good.  &lt;BR/&gt;God knows all things...but we do not know what that means...since it is beyond us.&lt;BR/&gt;A single day is like a thousand years to God and a thousand years like a single day. (2 Peter 3:8) It is clear that God does not view these things in the same way as us.&lt;BR/&gt;He said, "I am coming soon."  But it has been 2000 years.  So soon to God is not that same as soon to man. &lt;BR/&gt;The very concept of eterity is beyond man's understanding as well.  &lt;BR/&gt;Some might ask, God made us, but who made God.&lt;BR/&gt;I would say no one made God...God has always been.&lt;BR/&gt;How is this possible?&lt;BR/&gt;How should I know, I am just a man?&lt;BR/&gt;I do not claim to fully understand all of this.  I have am not perfect...I am pressing on towards that goal.  I do not yet understand all things, but I long to go deeper into the knowledge of God.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;What I try to focus on is what I do know because it has been shown to me.&lt;BR/&gt;That God so loved the world he gave his only son that who ever belives in him will not perish but have everlasting life. &lt;BR/&gt;I just remember the Cross.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Also...on what God requires of man:&lt;BR/&gt;"With what shall I come to the Lord and bow myself before the God on high?  Shall I come to him with burnt offerings, with yearling calves?  Does the Lord take delight in thousands of rams, in ten thousand rivers of oil?&lt;BR/&gt;Shall I present my firstborn for my rebellious acts, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?&lt;BR/&gt;HE has TOLD you, O man, what is good;&lt;BR/&gt;and what does the Lord require of you &lt;BR/&gt;But to do justice, to love kidness (or loyalty), and to walk humbly with your God&lt;BR/&gt;Micah 6:6-8&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;alright...thanks for all the scriptures Dave.  it will get people thinking and reading!&lt;BR/&gt;God bless. &lt;BR/&gt;Maybe we will talk more some time.&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 13 May 2006 19:15:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Why would anyone want to be an atheist? - Letters to the Webmaster</title><link>http://ex-christian.disqus.com/why_would_anyone_want_to_be_an_atheist_letters_to_the_webmaster/#comment-17964478</link><description>Whoa...once again this is getting heated.  We must not become so angry and argumentive but instead bear all things with a spirit of love and patience. &lt;BR/&gt; &lt;BR/&gt;Leonard, &lt;BR/&gt;Okay...I have already covered that there are other supernatural force than manifest in various ways.  These are fallen angels that have turned there back on God.  &lt;BR/&gt;Okay, also...God's still rasies people from the dead today...as reported by my fellow Christians.  This is hardly unusual behavior for God.&lt;BR/&gt;People have also walked on water in these modern times...you won't believe me...but I believe. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;People also fly everyday...Many people in history would think this to be not possible either.  But we know that man can fly because of his inventions.  If man, who is nothing, can accomplish this, how much more can God, who is everything, accomplish the impossible?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;To the Others...&lt;BR/&gt;First off I would like to say that if you are truly open-minded people than you should be able to consider that there are things you do not know about this world and do not understand. &lt;BR/&gt;When you look at a piece of human skin what do you see?  Just a piece of skin right?  But we know because of science that there is much more to that skin than what the naked eye can see.  There are whole worlds with thousands of micro orginisms living and interacting with each other.  We do not yet have the microscope that can see all those worlds.  What we do know is that those worlds effect us.  IN the same way the spiritual world, which can not usually be seen with the phyiscal eye, effects all that happens to us.  &lt;BR/&gt;There are sounds that can not be heard by the human ear but can be heard by say...dogs.  &lt;BR/&gt;There are sounds God makes that not all humans can hear either.  &lt;BR/&gt;I do not have a microscope that can show you the worlds beyond our five scences but I can tell you that I have seen glipses into these worlds myself.  I cannot and do not claim to have all knowledge or know why things happen the way they do.  But I do that my God is real and I can trust him.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You say you have spent hours searching for God but never found him.  Fair enough.  But this statment is always followed by..."so I gave up"  Or "this is because there is no God."  I will argue that if you contuine in your search you will find God.  You might consider this a vain pursuit...I do not. &lt;BR/&gt;I have also spend hours crying out to God for him to show me a sign in some specific way...This has never worked for me.  But if I contuine to seek my God with patience, he always does find a way to communicate with me....and indeed show me things which are beyond human understanding.  &lt;BR/&gt;If you become angry or impatient with God you will not get results. &lt;BR/&gt;And I also must restate that one of the best ways to search for God is to do the things he commanded us to do. &lt;BR/&gt;Preach the gospel, bind up the broken hearted, love one another, give to the poor, take care of the needy, set the captives free...etc. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If you are doing these things and following after God with all your heart and all you strength and all your soul you will be rewarded. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;It does not require faith to give a glass of water to a thirsty child...which is what Christ commanded us to do. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Another problem is how most people hear consider God to be a total monster.  They may believe he is real or could be real but they have no intrest in following him. &lt;BR/&gt;So I must ask, which of these commandments are you so opposed to?&lt;BR/&gt;Turn the other cheek.&lt;BR/&gt;If someone forces your to go a mile with them go two.&lt;BR/&gt;Love people.&lt;BR/&gt;Do to others as you would have done to you.&lt;BR/&gt;do not lie.&lt;BR/&gt;do not murder.&lt;BR/&gt;do not steal.&lt;BR/&gt;do not cheat.&lt;BR/&gt;do not be a hypocrite.&lt;BR/&gt;do Not worhsip other gods (which are in fact demons of pure evil...)&lt;BR/&gt;do not commit adultery&lt;BR/&gt;be humble...&lt;BR/&gt;be meek&lt;BR/&gt;be kind...&lt;BR/&gt;if someone asks for your coat give them your shirt too...&lt;BR/&gt;do not use foul language.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Oh maybe it's when we get into things like this:&lt;BR/&gt;do not be a homosexual&lt;BR/&gt;do not rape children&lt;BR/&gt;do not rape animals&lt;BR/&gt;do not have sexual intercourse outside of marriage&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Well...did I hit a soft spot? It should be understood that according to the NT we are not to kill people who do these things but to love them and help them get free of their sin. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If you do not understand why God's wrath often comes against people it is because you do not understand the character of God.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If you read in the books of the prophets why God brings wrath on his people it is often because they are treating each other improperly.  If you want to see what I am talking about you can read the books of the prophets yourself. (Book of Amos chapter 5 in particular) &lt;BR/&gt;God desire us to love eachother more than he desires us to practive relgious behaviours...such as fasting, attending sunday morning services, or praying.  Yes...you read that right.(But he also requires that we love him and fear him.)&lt;BR/&gt;"For I desire mercy, not sacrifice"&lt;BR/&gt;Hosea 6:6 &lt;BR/&gt; If you read carefully you will see that God's ways do make some sense, even to mere mortals like us.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;But in the end his ways are higher than ours and his thought are too.  So we can never totally understand him.  I will follow him though, because I trust him. &lt;BR/&gt;You call it blind faith.&lt;BR/&gt;I call it loyalty. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;It's been a pleasure meeting you all.&lt;BR/&gt;See ya around. &lt;BR/&gt;P.S.&lt;BR/&gt;I hope no feels I have resorted to person attacks through this time togther...if so than I am sorry...My intentions where never to offend anyone.&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 13 May 2006 18:17:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Why would anyone want to be an atheist? - Letters to the Webmaster</title><link>http://ex-christian.disqus.com/why_would_anyone_want_to_be_an_atheist_letters_to_the_webmaster/#comment-17964492</link><description>To Jim&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;F. Beare says the it is preposterous that Peter could have seen Christ, eh?  So because he thinks it is preposterous, you think that makes him right.  Unfortunately, he has only offered us his opinion.  This is like a man standing up in the back of the court room and saying that there is no way the witness on stand could have seen what they seen, simply because the man does not believe what they seen.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;As for Doherty's outlandish claims, Peter never says he believes without seeing, yet Paul does.  This is because the Romans and Corinthians that Paul was writing to(your quote mentions Romans and Corinthians) had not seen Christ, and therefore had to believe without seeing.  Peter, however, does not say that he believes without seeing, in fact he says the exact opposite.  And you call him a liar simply on the grounds that you don't believe what he seen.  But you can't prove he did not see it.&lt;BR/&gt;From my window I am watching two dogs play, but whether or not you believe me, you cannot prove that I am lying, unless you come here and see for yourself.  With history we cannot go back and see it, so we must take what is handed down to us, and not suppose into what is written our own opinions that it could not have happened that way simply because we don't think it is possible.  Can you prove that it is not possible that Jesus Christ existed and rose on the third day?  Just because you have never seen it happen, does not mean it can't have happened.&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 13 May 2006 13:28:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Why would anyone want to be an atheist? - Letters to the Webmaster</title><link>http://ex-christian.disqus.com/why_would_anyone_want_to_be_an_atheist_letters_to_the_webmaster/#comment-17964510</link><description>Forever and Ever,&lt;BR/&gt;We must take the entire Bible in context, not take a few lines of scripture and confuse them. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Jesus has the potential to be the savior of all men, especially those who believe.  But not all men will be saved and not all those who believe will be saved. &lt;BR/&gt;Even the demons believe and they tremble.  Also many will come to Him and say, "Lord we cast out demons, ect" and he will say..."depart from me I never knew you."&lt;BR/&gt;This is seen clearly through out the NT. &lt;BR/&gt; &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;God desires to have all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.&lt;BR/&gt;Will all men be saved...no.  Will all come to knowledge of truth...I think in the end it will be made clear...but to late for some. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The third bit about forgiving applies to people who are already followers of God.  It is important for them to keep forgiving when wronged so their hearts will not become bitter and hard.  God will forgive us if we forgive others...but we must ask for God's forgiveness. &lt;BR/&gt;If you ask me, "can I ask forgiveness from God but avoid Jesus?"  I will say no.  He is the Way the Truth at the Life...no one come to the Father but through Him. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Getting caught up on pointless speculation is not profitable. The scripture has been provided for you to seek out what must be done to live for God if that is you intention.  If you are trying to find the least you have to do to get into heaven I would not advise it.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I believe that if I confess Christ and follow him he will confess me before the father.  But if I turn from him and do the things which are not pleasing to him (thus denying him) he will deny me.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Some ask silly questions like, "what if you confessed Jesus and believed in your heart and then sinned a day later and before you could repent got hit by a car and died.  Would God still let you into heaven?"&lt;BR/&gt;This is foolishness since God knows when even a feather falls from a crow or when an tree falls in a forest.  He chooses when he takes his people home.  It's all in his hands and he can be trusted to do with his world what is right.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Most importantly is the fact that only God knows a man's heart.  I do not know a man's heart so it is not my place to pass judgment on anyone.  So listing scenarios and asking me to act as judge just does not work.  I am not judge, God is.  I can not speak for him on this.  All I can do is point to scripture and point to God.&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 13 May 2006 02:13:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Why would anyone want to be an atheist? - Letters to the Webmaster</title><link>http://ex-christian.disqus.com/why_would_anyone_want_to_be_an_atheist_letters_to_the_webmaster/#comment-17964512</link><description>Someone said they did not know why I wasted my time with this...&lt;BR/&gt;Well, preaching the Gospel is never a waste of time, even if no one listens.  And I also do not consider anytime spent with you guys as a waste of time.  It has been fun and rewarding.  There are &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;This is for Ben&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Peter was preaching in Rome.  Mark was translating what Peter was saying to the people, since Peter did not speak the native tongue, being that he was an uneducated fisherman.  That was my inference anyway.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And to Others...&lt;BR/&gt;As for the questions concering God's voice and such.&lt;BR/&gt;Well, first off I said I spoke with God.  I never claimed God said anything to me in a audible voice, because he has never done that and I would be a liar if I claimed it.  God has spoken to me in a "still small voice" deep within me.  But he does not seek on my demand.  I am not his boss and he is not a magic eight ball, as some people would suppose.  &lt;BR/&gt;I do not claim to be the sole voice of God on earth or that I am a prophet of God.  I encourage people to seek what God would say to them themselves.  "Say" does not always mean to speak audibley when we are refering to God.  He speaks to us in many ways.  Through dreams and visons, through the written Word of God, through prophets, through the "still small voice" of the Holy Spirit, through pictures that come into our minds, words or phares that come into our minds, through people speaking in tounges and others interpeting what was spoken, and sometimes, yes...in an audible voice.  &lt;BR/&gt; &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Jim, &lt;BR/&gt;if you have somthing you want me to pray about for you I would be glad to.  But if what you are proposing is a test or demand for a sign from God I am afraid I will not be of any use to you.  God has given mankind many signs of his reality throughout history.  It insults him when unbelieving people ask for more.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;It should also be pointed out (once again) that when I say seek God or seek proof of God I do not imply that someone should ask for a sign or test God.  Only that they should "seek God's face".  Which means to meditate on him, to follow him, to love him, to talk to him, and indeed to listen to him. To walk with him.  In this the proof of God will be made clear because of the changes in your own life.  Although there will always be room for doubt for those who desire to doubt. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt; As for your claims against the NT...Jim, I find no more reasons to believe them than you find to believe mine.  &lt;BR/&gt;It appears we have come no closer to solving this puzzle than countless who have tried before.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I have asked you to reconsider following my God and stated many reasons, which have been widely rejected. &lt;BR/&gt;You have asked me to reconsider belief in my God and devotion to him.&lt;BR/&gt;I will not.  God is my greatest and closest friend.  He is the savior of my soul.  He is my King, and my loyalty lies with him. &lt;BR/&gt;I started off my writings by saying that nothing compares to the greatness of knowing God.  After all this time and all these words that statment is clearer to me than ever; for the peace of God has been with me through this endeavor and his friendship has become all the clearer.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And since you seem to hold the opinion of more 'liberal' scholars, I have a list of 'conservative' scholars I would like you to consider:&lt;BR/&gt;Millar Burrows&lt;BR/&gt;John A.T. Robinson&lt;BR/&gt;Simon Kistenmaker&lt;BR/&gt;A. H.

If you want God to answer you it is imporatant to forgive any people who have wronged you or be reconciled with any people who you have wronged.  &lt;BR/&gt;If you forgive others their sins than God will forgive you your sins.&lt;BR/&gt;First be reconciled with your brother than bring your offering. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You said:&lt;BR/&gt;"almost all the selfless altruistic behaviour I've been on the recieving end of has come from Christians, some who were in the mission field and drove out demons et al,I was not torn between living in the world and being a Believer, not tempted to 'sin"&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Now I am going on rather limited information here but it sounds like you have unforgivness towards the Christians who hurt you.  Although the spiritual blockage could have been caused by another source. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;When doing delieverance we often find that we need to search deeply into someone's past to find the thing that is keeping them bound up and then take the axe to the root, as it where. &lt;BR/&gt;Many times Christian will be operating well for years and then suddenly come against something which destroys them.  &lt;BR/&gt;This can be because of generational curses, it can be because of sin in our lives that we have not dealt with, it can be for a lot of reasons.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Think of story where Mosses is heading to Egypt to set the prisoners free and God meets him at an Inn to kill him because Mosses had not circumsied his child. &lt;BR/&gt;Mosses was operting as a servant of God, had been chosen to do something by God, was on his way to do it, and then was almost killed because of somthing in his past that he had not dealt with.  Exodus 4: 20-26&lt;BR/&gt;(it should also be noted that circumsion is no longer required by God because of Jesus...)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Deception and doubt can keep us from believing, hatred and unforgivness can keep us from recieving, sexual perversion rots our soulds and minds...ect.  These things wear us out and can spring up suddenly out of no where in a persons life. &lt;BR/&gt;Now each case is different but one way to combat this is to seek a trusted Man or Woman of God who is flowing in the gifts of Spirit (it is very important that they have spiritual discernemt) and then explain to them your situation and ask them to pray for you.  This often takes more than one attept.&lt;BR/&gt;I know of a man who went to many preachers and men of God trying to get free of a sexual sin that tormented his mind.   Some of them gave him totally stupid advise and all of them where unhelpful. Finaly he happend upon a good friend of mine you faithfully declared, "you can be free from that tonight."  And the man was. &lt;BR/&gt;When spiritual things go wrong and don't work according to how we think they should or according to how someone has taught us it is often the temptation to simply give up and throw out the faith.   I have found that there is always a solution to every thing and a reason for everything that happens and if we search long and hard enough we can find the answer and break the curse.  &lt;BR/&gt;It is so important for Christians to live like warriors.  To be trained and on the alert.

This is for you.  Sorry for the misunderstanding.  I was speaking to a number of people in my writing at the start.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;First of all, you claimed that the writers of the NT only seen Christ in visions. This is false.  In 1 Peter, the author cleary identifies himself as, "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ," in the first line of the letter.  Two verses later&lt;BR/&gt;states,"In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,"&lt;BR/&gt;All four canonical gospels claim that Peter was a disciple of Christ and seen Christ resurrected.&lt;BR/&gt;And here Peter supports that claim.&lt;BR/&gt;Not a vision.&lt;BR/&gt;In 2 Peter he continues in 1:16-18 "We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.  For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying,'This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.'&lt;BR/&gt;We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain."&lt;BR/&gt;Again, not a vision, but an eyewitness account.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Furthermore, the Gospel of Mark is affirmed to have been based on the preaching of the apostle Peter as recorded by his interpreter, Mark.&lt;BR/&gt;The writings of Papias, bishop of Hierapolis, (AD 130) who was a friend of the Apostle John during the apostle's last years, states:&lt;BR/&gt;"The Elder [Apostle John]used to say this also:'Mark, having been the interpreter of Peter, wrote down accurately all that he [Peter] mentioned, whether sayings or doings of Christ, not, however, in order.  For he was neither a hearer nor a companion of the Lord; but afterwards, as I said, he accompanied Peter, who adapted his teachings as necessity required, not as though he were making a compilation of the sayings of the Lord.  So then Mark made no mistake, writing down in this way some things as he mentioned them; for he paid attention to this one thing, not to omit anything that he had heard, not to include any false statement among them.'"&lt;BR/&gt;Also, Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons, (who was a student of Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, a disciple of John the Apostle)wrote: "Matthew published his Gospel among the Hebrews in their own tongue, when Peter and Paul were preaching the gospel in Rome and founding the church there.  After their departure, Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter, himself handed down to us in writing the substance of Peter's preaching.  Luke, the follower of Paul, set down in a book the gospel preached by his teacher.  Then John, the disciple of the Lord, who also leaned on his breast himself produced his Gospel, while he was living at Epesus in Asia."&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;This last entry shows that John was eyewitness to Christ and wrote the Gospel of John.  Again, not a vision. And it shows where both Mark and Luke got their material from.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;As for the legitimacy of the NT writings, again and again historians have attempted to prove them false and they have yet to succeed.  &lt;BR/&gt;Archeology has already oudated the accusations that the NT is unreliable and wasn't written until late in the second century.  Archeological dicoveries of papyri manuscripts( the John Ryland manuscript, the Chester Beatty Papyri, and the Bodmer Papyri II) have shown that there is no longer any solid evidence for any book of the NT being written after AD 80.&lt;BR/&gt;Archeologist Sir William Ramsay, a student of the German historical school and a critic of the NT, wrote:" Luke is a historian of the first rank...this author should be placed along with the very greatest of historians."  He conceded that the Book of Acts could not be a fabrication of the second-century as formerly believed, but must be a mid-first-century account.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Of course the Form Critics say that the material of the NT was passed down by word of mouth until it was finaly written down in an altered form, ie folk literature.  Unfortunatly, the critics definition of the period required to develop oral tradition alterations does not fit in the time frame that the NT was written in (fifty years).&lt;BR/&gt;Archeologist William Albright wrote," Only modern scholars who lack both historical method and perspective can spin such a web of speculation as that with which form critics have surrounded the Gospel tradition...a period of twenty to fifty years is too slight to permit of any appreciable corruption of the essential content and even of the specific wordings of the sayings of Jesus."&lt;BR/&gt;It was also customary in the Jewish religion for a pupil to memorize a rabbi's teaching.  And Jesus' early disciples were Jews.&lt;BR/&gt;So if you think the contents of the gospel were altered by people who were not there and did not know what took place, I'm afraid modern historians would have to disagree.&lt;BR/&gt;So, the man Jesus Christ existed.  And his followers recorded his teaching.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And 20,000 ancient manucripts confirm this.&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 May 2006 19:52:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Why would anyone want to be an atheist? - Letters to the Webmaster</title><link>http://ex-christian.disqus.com/why_would_anyone_want_to_be_an_atheist_letters_to_the_webmaster/#comment-17964535</link><description>Uh Jim....&lt;BR/&gt;You missunderstood. &lt;BR/&gt;I was not refering to your remark on me being crazy or you being angry.

As for the angry...that is somthing I have detect from a number of sources on this site.  And I'll get to the rest of your article shortly.&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 May 2006 17:46:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Why would anyone want to be an atheist? - Letters to the Webmaster</title><link>http://ex-christian.disqus.com/why_would_anyone_want_to_be_an_atheist_letters_to_the_webmaster/#comment-17964536</link><description>Wow....that got heated fast. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Brigid, sorry about the way that person was treating you.  that most certianly was not Christ like behavior.  We know that Jesus associated with prostitutes and we know he never condemed them in that way.  He who has not sinned can start chucking rocks...You know the story.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Well, it come down to this.  Jesus taught us to love our enemies, forgive people when they wronged us, to give to the poor, to love one another, to be humble, and to obey a good God.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Anyone who is a follower of Christ and knows God will do these things.  Anyone who claimes to be a follower but does not follow is not a follower of Christ.  ANyone who claims to love God but hates another person does not love God or know God.&lt;BR/&gt;I am sorry that things went bad like that.  It was not my intention to make enemies of anyone or to cause anyone to fight with anyone else. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;As for me not answering the questions asked of me...&lt;BR/&gt;Well, I did answer some...Others I did not have time to get too.  I will attempet to remedy that.  But I would like to point out that I asked questions in earlier post which no one answered either.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;"How did you rule out Krishna or Buddha? Or Mithra, or Osiris, or Adonis for that matter?"&lt;BR/&gt;In some of the mission fields I have worked in I have seen men of God go up against witch doctors and win.  I have had to work personally agains the spirits sent against some young boys I was watching over at a camp.  The name of Jesus overcame the power of the enemy.  My personnly experince lined up with those of men whom I trust and can share their own examples of how God over came supposed heathen gods.  Which where in fact demons. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;"And there are countless frauds, right? We've all seen that kind of stuff on TV. I think it shows how credulous many people are. Can you point to any objective evidence that such healings are anything more than a con job?"&lt;BR/&gt;I was refering once again to personal experinces.  I have personally prayed, hands on, for people with demons.  I have been healed from various heath problems and had pain disapper after being prayed for.  Once agian I am not alone in this and have many close friends with similar experinces.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;"You always have the option of critically examining your own perceptions. In my opinion, if you place any of these perceptions of yours beyond the reach of critical enquiry, then it is all the more reason to doubt that they are what you think they are."&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I have criticlly examined my experinces during times of doubt and come to the conclusion that Jesus Christ is the son of God, the Bible is true, and God is very powerful and wonderful.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;"Various string theories posit different numbers of physical dimensions, yes. Eleven dimensions is a prime contender right now. Are you suggesting that your god in hiding in one or more of those extra dimensions?"&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;What I am suggesting is that science allows for things beyond the understanding of the five sences.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;"But what "debate" are you speaking of? On the existence of your deity? The truth of some specific Christian dogma? The reality of your experiences?"&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The reality of my experinces which proves to me that Christ existes and is teaching in the Bible are true. That does not prove anything to you...but that's what we were talking about.  What I was asking if for Jim to explain what things things mean if they did infact happen to me.  Which they did.  He was unable to answer my question just as I knew he would be. The reason I asked the question is because he was asking me to consider the possiblilty that Christ is not who he says he is.  That is clearly not a sound option for me.  &lt;BR/&gt;Hope that covers it. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Now Tigg13...On to your comments.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I said all you have to do is believe.  Which is true since it impossible to please God with out faith, the righteous will live by faith, and faith is the key ingredident for what come next: living a true Christian life.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I do preach grace, you are right.  But the mistake you make is you think grace means mercy and forgivness.  It does not.  Grace is divine impowerment.  It is the power from God to live the way he wants us too live.  &lt;BR/&gt;This is why Jesus died.  To pay for our sins so we could be made right and holy in God's eyes so that the Holy Spirit (whom we recieve my faith) could come and dwell in us.  Impowering, and guiding, and teaching us.  This is the key that so many miss.  I am not saying simply believe and then go on living the way you lived with out God.  Of cource I am not saying that. What would be the point?  Who would even want that?  I want you to have a joy filled, adventure with Jesus.  I want you to have more than a dead religion.  I want life for you.  This life come through constant interaction with God in heaven. The Holy Spirit is needed for this.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You stated that I want you to have faith in me.  No.  From the start I have said over and over to seek God for yourself.  I knew you would not believe me. I knew I could not proof with good arguments that what I was saying was true.  I want you to have your own relationship with Christ, as your proof.  Not with a human as your teacher but with the Holy Spirit as your teacher.  When you have a doubt or fear about the faith go to the Holy Spirit, not to me.  He is a Living God and he can speak. But he does not usually speak to those who hate him or don't trust him, or don't believe he exists, or indeed, who do not fear him. &lt;BR/&gt;You think what I mean when I say search is compare God to other religions and read critical articals about him.  It's not what I mean.  Seeking is just praying to him, asking him to show you things, and teach you things, constanly.  Be in prayer all day long.  At first this will be hard but in time it becomes easy.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Then to further seek God don't just sit in a uncomfortable pew listing to a preacher.  Get up and go and do what he told us to do.  Go into the mission field.  Go to where the healings are happeing, go to where the demons dwell and kick them out.  Go.  Jesus told us to go.  This is seeking.  And do it in the company of Christ through the Holy Spirit.  The mission field, the battle ground, is where you will see things that will strengthen your faith.&lt;BR/&gt; &lt;BR/&gt;Also, it seems to me that the larger issue many of you are facing is not that you don't believe God is real.  It is that you don't like God anymore.  You are angry and bitter about things people did who claimed to be following Christ.  But if someone does somethign contray to the teaching of Christ they are not follwing Him.  So you can not judge God accroding the actions of men who do not represent him.  But if men act like Christ then you have no reason to be angry at them and you will be hating them without cause.  &lt;BR/&gt;Many of you are mad at God because you do not feel his ways are just.  Once again I will state that it is man's ways that are not just.   God has been doing his job for a long time...I know I can trust him to do it right even if everything does not line up with my human way of thinking.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I would like to point out also that children who are disipled by their parents often make the statment, "that's not fair."  But in fact the parent knows what they are doing and they are being just.  It's hard for us to understand at times.  &lt;BR/&gt;God has been fair to you today though.  I have come back here to tell you once again that God is truth and that if you follow with all your mind, body, and strength you will trully live.  &lt;BR/&gt;I hope that clears some things up. &lt;BR/&gt;God bless. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt; P.S.  someone made a comment saying that if I found them a book that convinced them of the truth of Christ that did not need a translation they would be most thankful.  (although those where not at all there exsact words.)&lt;BR/&gt;Well I can reccommend a few Christian books on the subject that are very easy to understand.  "More than a Carpenter by Josh Mcdowell" was very good.  I recently finished "Cracking Da Vinci's Code" by James L. Garlow and Peter Jones. It was good, if you intrested in the subject.  Another good one I am reading is "Practicing His Presence" by Brother Lawrence and Frank Lauback.  These books all have very good insights into some of the things we have been talking about.  But like I said, it is important that are number one teacher is the Holy Spirit and not a man.  &lt;BR/&gt;Oh and, you asked where you get the faith, which you are lacking.  That's simple.  &lt;BR/&gt;"Faith come by hearing and hearing by the Word."  That means the word of God himself.  The bible...and the word from the direct mouth of God.  You have heard enough that you already have faith.  You just need to build on it and break down the layers of doubt.  How do you do that?  By constanly talking to God and asking him for help.  God is a living God and if you turn and call on him he will answer.  He promised that.  It has never failed me when I pressed on, it will not fail you. &lt;BR/&gt;If you give up fighting, then you have lost. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Alright, that' a long post script.  &lt;BR/&gt;God Bless again!&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 May 2006 17:39:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Why would anyone want to be an atheist? - Letters to the Webmaster</title><link>http://ex-christian.disqus.com/why_would_anyone_want_to_be_an_atheist_letters_to_the_webmaster/#comment-17964566</link><description>So you think I am crazy.  The problem I have with this is that I was tested for mental illness in high school and the good doctor could find none.&lt;BR/&gt;Why was I tested in the first place?  It was reported that someone heard me talking to myself.  I think they mistook praying for somthing else.  All in all it worked out because the assumtion that I am insane was proved false.  &lt;BR/&gt; The notion that I see what I want to see is a two way street.  You don't see it because you close your eyes to it.  Your not looking. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Am I to believe that none of you, with histroy in the church have ever seen one positive example of a life changed for the better because of Christ?  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I can think of many.  And if you think hard enough and do the research you will no doubt find an abundance of positve effects Christianty has had on this planet. &lt;BR/&gt;Why are you so oppsed to eveything I say?  Why the anger? Why the mocking?  I have not come with anger or insults or mocking.  I come speaking the truth.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Now there are people here who are hurting deeply and I feel for those people.  I used to be one.  But I got past my bitterness and I found my God again.  &lt;BR/&gt;  This is about rebellion.  People don't want to do things the way other people or God tells me too, so they hate God and hate his Chruch. And it's about pride.  Human pride, angels pride...it's all the same. It's nothing new.  Lucifer knew God was real, walked with him, and then turned against him because he wanted to do things his way.  &lt;BR/&gt;But there is no freedom in this. &lt;BR/&gt;You prove it.&lt;BR/&gt;If you had gotten free of your past and pain that you blame on Christianty you would not still be on this web site. But your still chained here, chained to your pain.&lt;BR/&gt;You still hurt, and your still looking for answers, and you still have a sence of gulit, and know that somthing is not right deep down insdide of you...that all is not well. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;But you can truly find peace with Christ in this life and the next.  And you can see good works perfomed through you that effect the world in a positve way.  And life can be better. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Talk to Jesus a lot.  Talk to him about eveything.  Talk to him about your pain.  Talk to him about your problems.  Talk to him about your anger.  And then listen.  And then talk some more.  This is the path to knowing God and will change your life.  You can have more than you ever had before.  You can have more than a human insitution or organization or relgion.  You really can. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If you have been wronged by the church than I want to try and right that wrong.  If you have been cheated from the truth by people who claimed to teach it but did not understand it, then I want to right that wrong.  &lt;BR/&gt;If you have been hurt then I want to see you healed.&lt;BR/&gt;If you have been confused than I want you to have clarity. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You say you have already looked for God through Christ...well maybe you did not look hard enough or in the wrong places.&lt;BR/&gt;I urge you to seek God again with eveything inside you and see if what I have spoken is true or false. I have complete confidince in my God.  If you want some advise on how to seek Him and some one to stand by you than just say the word, I will be here tomorrow.&lt;BR/&gt;But know this...we are not that differnt.  I am like you, i wandered away from christianty for four years.   But in the end I found that the only place I am truly happy is in the arms of Christ. I have had doubts and in the past have question God many times.  But Jesus, as they say, is the answer.  &lt;BR/&gt; Now, as for Jim&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;"'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving' For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have close their eyes.  Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them."  The Book of Acts.&lt;BR/&gt;This is your condition Jim. 2000 years ago people were just like you. &lt;BR/&gt;"The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who supress the truth by their wickness, since what may be known about God is plain to them because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God' invisible quailites-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." The book of Romans.  &lt;BR/&gt;We know that there is God, we see it all around us, otherwise we would not be haveing this argument.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;What it comes down too is this:  Jesus Christ came to this world, lived a perfect life, influncing the planet more than any single person before or after, and then was killed in a most horrible fashion and three days later rose from the dead.  History records this.  You may claim that the NT can not be used as a source of historical facts but then I would ask you what ancient text is more reliable than it? &lt;BR/&gt;The only manuscipts we have of the history of Thucydides (460-400 B.C) where written 1300 years after he wrote it.&lt;BR/&gt;Aristotle's poems were written in around 343 B.C. but the earliest copy in existence is dated A.D. 1100.  &lt;BR/&gt;Caesar's history of the Gallic wars was compsed between 58-50 B.C. but our only manuscripts are dated 1000 years after his death. &lt;BR/&gt;For each of these there are less than ten manuscripts in exsitence.&lt;BR/&gt;The New Testement however, has over 20,000 ancient manuscripts, most of them written between the time of Christ and the 2nd century.&lt;BR/&gt;So since those ancient classics are considered by scholars to be truthworthy the reliability of the NT is shown to be much more.&lt;BR/&gt;The New testement has more ancient manuscipt authority than anyother text of lituture from the antiquity.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;As for the accuracy of what was written in the NT manuscripts Aristotle's dictum still applies:&lt;BR/&gt;"The benefit of the doubt is to be given to the document itself, and not arrogated by the critic to himself."&lt;BR/&gt;So, one cannot assume fraud or error while analyzing the claims of a document unless the author disqualifies himself by proven factual inaccuracies or contradictions.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The writers of the New Testament lived in the time that they wrote about, they lived in the places they wrote about, and they give plenty of evidence of this, such as the beginning of the third chapter of Luke, where the ruler of Rome, the govenor of Judea, tetrarch of Galilee, tetrach of Ituraea etc, are all listed and are proven to be historicaly accurate for the time period.&lt;BR/&gt;The writers of the NT were witnesses of what they wrote and the people they wrote to were also witness of what they wrote,Acts 2:"...miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him (Jesus the Nazarene) in your midst, just as you know..."&lt;BR/&gt;and Acts 26: "For the king knows about these matters, and I speak to him also with confidence, since I am persuaded that none of these things escape his notice; for this has not been done in a corner."&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Since the people they wrote for knew about what they were writing, knew what had been taking place concerning Jesus Christ and the apostles, the writers of the NT wouldn't have been able to lie without getting caught.  There are also more than twenty gospels not included in the NT, many of them not written by Christians, but by opposing sects and factions(Gnostics for one), that also state that Jesus Christ was real and then miraculous signs followed him.  So both Christian and non-Christian of ancient times admited that Christ existed.&lt;BR/&gt;Will Durant, a trained investigator of historical records, wrote in Caesar and Christ: "Despite the prejudices and theological preconceptions of the evangelists, they record many incidents that mere inventors would have concealed-the competition of the apostles for high places in the Kingdom, their flight after Jesus' arrest, Peter's denial, the failure of Christ to work miracles in Galilee, the references of some auditors to his possible insanity, his early uncertainty as to his mission, his confessions of ingnorance as to the future, his moments of bitterness, his despairing cry on the cross; no one reading these scenes can doubt the reality of the figure behind them.  That a few simple men should in one generation have invented so powerful and appealing a personality, so lofty an ethic, and so inspiring a vision of human brotherhood, would be a miracle far more incredible than any recorded in the Gospels.  After two centuries of Higher Criticism the outlines of the life, character, and teaching of Christ remain reasonably clear, and constitute the most fascinating feature in the history of Western man."&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;So since Jesus Christ existed, and I cannot prove that the witnesses of him in the NT are false, I must believe that any man who would first claim to be the Son of God, predict his own execution, perform miracles, signs and wonders, predict his betrayal by the hands of one of his own, then be betrayed, beaten half to death, hung on a cross, then ask God to forgive those who were killing him, die, and then amazingly rise to life on the third day, must have been the Son of God.  Even the Roman soldier at the crucifixion cried out, "Surely this man was the Son of God."&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;As for how I came to know God, that's simple.  In my case I did not search and find God to begin with.  It was the other way around.  God called me and found me.  It was latter in my life that searching began.  Searching for the truth of God.  I never ever belived he did not exist since I had enough evidence through my experinces that the option of God's non exsistence was never credible.  I did however question who God is, and if he is good and if he can be truted, and why bad things happen, and so on and so forth. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;In the I discoved that God is good.  I know from experince that he has always been good to me and I know all thing work toghter for good to those who love God.&lt;BR/&gt;You asked if I ever read anything that critized Christiany.  Well, I have been reading this site all day...I have watched many secular movies that where anti-christian, I have read many book that do not belive what I belive, I went to public school where they taught contrary to what the church teaches.  I have been exposed to other peoples doubts my whole life.  &lt;BR/&gt;Now then.&lt;BR/&gt;As you pointed out there are sides too God which upset us.  The wrathful side.  &lt;BR/&gt;Well, God is both wrathful and mericful. He is humble and proud.  The Lion and the Lamb.  He is a King, he is a Mighty Warrior, he is no push over and no one to be trifled with.  He is compasinate and kind, he is beutiful and glorious, he beyond compare.  He is like nothing else the exists or ever will exist.  He is God, and he has my love and my trust.  I have faith in him because he is faithful.  &lt;BR/&gt;So do I understand why homosexuals, adulterers, and disobedient children were to be put to death?  Yes, as a matter of fact I do.  Because they sinned. You say that God's ways are not just?  I say that your ways, oh man, are not just.  Humanity's way is injustice and it has always been such.  We as a race are all under a death sentence because of sin.  The amazing thing is not that God has wrath on some, but that he has mercy on some.  Take a long, honest look at the human race and it's history and tell me I'm wrong. &lt;BR/&gt;  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;But none of this can be understood without the Holy Spirit, and you can not have the Holy Spirit unless Christ gives Him to you, and He will not give Him to you unless you ask, and you can not ask if you do not believe.  &lt;BR/&gt;One of the reasons the church is so flawed is because many churchs don't even believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit which is entirly necessary to live a true Christian life.  I have confidence in what I belive because I do have the Spirit of God living inside me and have felt Him move many times. &lt;BR/&gt;In the end, if you want to experince God you must have his Spirit inside you. But if you do not believe you will not receive.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;So yes, it does require faith on your part.   It requires admiting that you need help.  But if you do not need help, if you are without sin, if you are perfect already, then tell me what your solution to the problem of the world is. But if you can admit that you are not perfect, that none of us are, then there is hope for God's plan being fulfilled in your life.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Christ came to help the sick, not people who thought they had it all work out.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;In the same way my words are for people which are in pain, and which need help, and know they need help.  Jesus is that help. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Jesus came to save the world, not judge it.  Yes, sin must be punished.  But Christ paid the price for the homosexuals, adulterers, and disobedient children so they would not have too.  "God loved us while we were still sinners"  And you all know John 3:16.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;All you have to do is believe. He is the answer to the question.&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 May 2006 02:00:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Why would anyone want to be an atheist? - Letters to the Webmaster</title><link>http://ex-christian.disqus.com/why_would_anyone_want_to_be_an_atheist_letters_to_the_webmaster/#comment-17964571</link><description>xrayman&lt;BR/&gt;The story about the babies in Brazil comes from a book called Christ's Witchdoctor.

Well said.&lt;BR/&gt;My tactics are simple.  Seek God for yourself through Jesus his son.  And when you find him you will know he is real.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;That's it.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;But maybe you can help me with a little problem.&lt;BR/&gt;I have seen things which are not thought to be possible by many.   I have seen people who are possessed by demons and then seen those demons cast out in the name of Jesus, I've seen people who have been healed from various illness after being prayed for, and I have seen my own personal prayers answered innumerable times, I have seen angels with my own physical eyes, I have been attacked by demons physicaly on a number of occassions, and I have felt somthing inside me which I can only describe as "gold" and very real, which was depostied in my inner being after prayer to God.  I have wittnessed many things that concur with the Bible's account.  In fact as I study the bible more I find greater understanding on things I was previsouly confused about. I know many other Christians whom I trust that have experinced similar things. I know of many people outside the church that I also trust who have wintness supernatural phenomenom on differnt occasions.  Which leads me to belive that there is more to the world than what we typical see.  &lt;BR/&gt;You have the liberty of disbeliving me...of cource.  I do not have that liberty since I have witnessed these things with my own eyes and felt them and touched them myself.  Can you explain to me what I have seen?  Or will use simply state that I am being untruthful so you can avoid having to enter a debate you can not possible win.  &lt;BR/&gt;Intrestingly enough, I have heard theories that quamtum physicists claim there are alternative dimensions and such.  So perhaps science can support my claims.  If so...than perhaps there is somthing to my "deluded" thinking.  Maybe you need to be more open-minded to spiritual things. &lt;BR/&gt;God is real.  I have no doubt of this.  I also have do doubt that Jesus is the son of God since whenever dealing with other spiritual forces or beings claiming to be dieties I have found that the name of Jesus on the lips of a beliver always causes them to flee. (Just as the bible says.)  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;So I belive and trust that book since it has helped me out of tight situations on many occasions. The Word of God has never failed me.&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 11 May 2006 21:34:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Why would anyone want to be an atheist? - Letters to the Webmaster</title><link>http://ex-christian.disqus.com/why_would_anyone_want_to_be_an_atheist_letters_to_the_webmaster/#comment-17964577</link><description>mygel,&lt;BR/&gt;you take offence where now is meant.  I do not mean to insult you.  You think because I say homosexulity is wrong that I am saying you as a person are without worth.  But that's not it.  Sexual perfernce does not difine who you are.  THere is so much more to you than being gay or black or white or tall or short or having a intrest in cars or liking chocolate. These are just part of the things that make you up.  I am not intrest in you as a whole, human.  As a created being of God who has value. And you do have worth in God's eyes and mine and you are worth saving, praying for, dieing for and talking too.  &lt;BR/&gt;So don't think I am trying to attack you or any friends of your because you are gay.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I have friends that are gay, I have relative who are gay, and I love them and care about them.  But I have to speak the truth because if I don't I'm not realling helping this people.  I hope you can belive that I am sincere. &lt;BR/&gt;God Bless.&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 11 May 2006 19:10:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Why would anyone want to be an atheist? - Letters to the Webmaster</title><link>http://ex-christian.disqus.com/why_would_anyone_want_to_be_an_atheist_letters_to_the_webmaster/#comment-17964578</link><description>mygel,&lt;BR/&gt;I stated clearly that if you did not want what I was offering than you did not have to take it.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Now you are trying to say that you prayed to be free and did not get that freedom so what I am saying does not work.  But it does work and has worked.&lt;BR/&gt; You have to have to right mind set.  If you only wanted to be straight out of fear of man to please man you where doing it for the wrong reasons and God won't honor that.  You said yourself you where comfortable with being gay.  Once again, if you want to be gay, I can't help you.  I can only help those who struggle with thoughts they don't want to have.  Those who want to free.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And don't say that is wrong of me to want to help someone who wants help.  It's not.  If you want to be gay I won't force my God upon you.  But if you want to be freed from homosexuality than I am more than willing and happy to help.  &lt;BR/&gt;But in the end think people just want to be loved and cared for by someone.  I find that love in God and it is a love that will never fail.  Human realtionshios fail because people are imperfect, but God is always faithful. &lt;BR/&gt;Sorry if I offended you.&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 11 May 2006 19:02:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Why would anyone want to be an atheist? - Letters to the Webmaster</title><link>http://ex-christian.disqus.com/why_would_anyone_want_to_be_an_atheist_letters_to_the_webmaster/#comment-17964580</link><description>Asuryan, you said... &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;"christianity is not a religion but a relationship" is born and existing only in america. That sentence does not exist AT ALL in my country. And my opinion on it is that it's an invention of a christian minister trying to convert to his cult the people disgusted by religion."&lt;BR/&gt;Hmm. The relationship teaching does not come from man but from God through his Bible.  The Bible was not written in the west.  Read 1 John...he talks about knowing God throughout.  "The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love" IT also talks about how the world does not know God and therefor does not know us (the children of God)&lt;BR/&gt;1 John 2 3: "by this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep his commadments"&lt;BR/&gt;and so on...&lt;BR/&gt;Paul said that nothing compares to the greatness (or priceless gain) of knowing Christ Jesus.&lt;BR/&gt;Jesus talked about no one knowing the father except him and anyone he choses to show the father too. &lt;BR/&gt;So this is hardly a modern idea.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Add I am not telling you to believe the truth inside of me, I am telling you to seek the truth from the source so you can have it inside of you. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If you ask people what their greatest fear is, on average, more people say their greatest fear is public speaking...not death.  Public speaking is embarsing.  It has to do with pride which is what I was refering to. &lt;BR/&gt;Although you may be right that Christ way is easier than being an athiest.  I am willing to accept that since Jesus himself said his burden is light... But at the same time finding God is difficult even though he is not very far from any of us. But forgive me if I offended you. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;But you are wrong to say that I am a hypocrite because I would not give a muslim (or someone who belived differntly than me) the time of day.  I am giveing you the time of day, am I not? I have taken the time to read a lot things I don't agree with that are offencive to me on this web site because I think it is important to listen.&lt;BR/&gt;And why do you think I writing to you?  Because I am a brainwashed fantic?  Nope.  It's because I care.  I said you would not listen, and I was right...I knew you would insult me, and I came back anyway.  Because I belive you can still be saved and I want that for you even though I do not know you.  Why do you hate me for caring? &lt;BR/&gt;I am not claiming to be a super Christian or that I never sin.  I am just a guy with a bad temper and a lot of problems.  But I have found peace and joy and I want to share that with others.  It's not just about salvation or just about attending church or about the ten commandments.  It's about living in the Spirit.  Lot of people miss this.  Christ died so he could send us the Holy Spirit so we could overcome the world and our sin and have fellowship with him. Just to be with him. And anyone living in the Spirit is not under the law.  This is what knowing God is all about.  WHich brings me to my next point. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;...Ubergeek.  You also said, refering to the sexual imoral:   "All of whom - according to the Bible - are to be killed, not cured."&lt;BR/&gt;That was according to the OT law.  Death by stoning I belive.  Now we   Now the Law condems us all to death.  Every human. But christ blood can set anyone free from death.  &lt;BR/&gt;"Do not be decived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkars, nor revilers, nor swinders, will inherit the kingdom of God. &lt;BR/&gt;"Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justifed in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Sprit of our God"&lt;BR/&gt;1 Corinthians 6: 9-11.&lt;BR/&gt;So then, anyone who sins can be justifed and purified.  &lt;BR/&gt;I will admit that many in the church do not have a soild understanding of how God views homosexuals and treat some with hated...which is not God's way. People get confused because they don't understand God's plan and what the OT is really all about.  Not to say that I fully understand everything either...but I keep on searching for the truth in the pages.   But it should be understood by both those inside and outside the church that Christ does not want us to physically harm anyone because of there personal sin.  Jesus did not teach that.  He taught we where to love one another.  God is a tolerant God.  If he was not...we would all be dead.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;But you do bring up an intresting point when you asked when I would start caring out "God's will" and killing such people.  I listed those who have intercource with children...I would like to know where you stand on this? Some people think capital punishment would be a sutible payment for those who commit such acts.  Where do you stand on capital punishment? Perhaps you do not think it is even wrong to have realtions with children? I understand one of the great freedoms of being an athiest is that you can define your own sence of write and wrong.  So I wonder...how do you feel about the child brothels that exsit in our world?  And indeed...when is it right to stop another human from doing somthing through force?  Murder is wrong...and the bible teachs that.  But what do you think?  Is there ever a time when murder is right?  What about killing in self defence? What about war?  What about theft?  What about abortions? &lt;BR/&gt;There was a race of primate people in the Amazon in early to mid 20th century who used wait until a child is born...to see the sex, and if it was not desirble the father would beat it to death with a stick.  Christian missionarys put a stop to this practice...was that wrong of them to interfer with another culture?  To interfer with another persons world view and thoughts on morality?  Who defines right and wrong, good and evil? It can get very confusing, but God's word brings clarity to those who read it with the aid of the Holy Spirit. I will say that with out God's restraint and the guidince of the Bible I would have killed in my life time.  The bible, a book spoken againt often here, saved a close friends of mine from death at my hands.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt; And then there are those who point out the bad things the church has done in it's histroy.  Every nation has been involved in questionable actions.  Would you stop being American because they went to war against the British?  They killed people you know...to earn their freedom.  &lt;BR/&gt;Instead you most likely would try to be a better American today.  It's the same with Christians.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Why not look at the positve things the Body of Christ has done in every culture it has touched?&lt;BR/&gt;People say that the Church is anti-woman but the truth is after the coming of Christ women recieved more and more rights.  Even ancient roman pagan scholors agree that the coming of Chritianty was a turning point for the freedom and dignity of women. Christian missionarys today are still fighting for the rights of women and others in countries where those rights are supressed. &lt;BR/&gt;Human sacrifice has been put to stop in many places because of Christ.  Is this not a good thing?  Cultures are destroyed, relgions and human digity shattered, but evil is put to a stop also.  &lt;BR/&gt;I'm not agreeing with eveything that the christians have done, nor am I saying that the church or even me are perfect in any way, just that we are not evil and dangerous fanitcs which must be stopped.  And also that we can still choose today to follow a God who is good and perfect and do what is good by living by the Spirit of God.  We can change. We can be better. I belive we should change.  If I took the advise of some well meaning humans who said: "Just be yourself" I would be a real bad dude. &lt;BR/&gt;So I have not attained perfection but I press on towards the goal, I keep fighing, and I will never give up.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And I invite you to be open minded that there is way to have a personal relationship with God.&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 11 May 2006 18:54:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Why would anyone want to be an atheist? - Letters to the Webmaster</title><link>http://ex-christian.disqus.com/why_would_anyone_want_to_be_an_atheist_letters_to_the_webmaster/#comment-17964605</link><description>hey blaine...&lt;BR/&gt;I have had the chance to minister to to a number of people who struggle with homosexual behaviors as a Christian and from a bibical stand point.  Homosexuality is wrong, it is sin, but we still love the people...even if they do sin.  There are people who are attracted to the same sex...people who like animals...are inclined towards children...people who like themselves...there are all sorts of people strugging with perversion...and haveing a hard time of it because they can't seem to figure out what's wrong with them.  Now the world teaches that nothing is wrong with them and there is nothing they can do to change themselves.  &lt;BR/&gt;But we teach and the bible teaches that yes...there is somthing wrong with all of us but that we can be free of those things which keep us in chains.  You don't have to struggle with homosexuality. I  I know of many people (some who are very close to me, and some by word of mouth) who overcame this battle by the blood of the Lamb and  are living in the freedom and joy Christ offers.  Now if you want to be gay then there is nothing I can do or say to aid you.  I am only saying that if you want to be free I can help with that.  I don't want to argue with anyone about this...I simply want to state that if there are those out there who struggle with perversion, whether it be directed at children, animals, or the same sex, ect, and want to be free of it they can be and can experince more joy and happiness as they draw closer to God. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I assure you that much of this is assoicated with demonics...if you don't belive me you will have a hard time casting them out.  Once again...if you don't want to be free don't listen to me.  But if you do... here is how. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Pray this:&lt;BR/&gt;Jesus, I belive in you.  I belive you have all power and authority over all things.  I humble myself before you and cast down every speculation and argument against the true knoweldge of you.  I ask you to show me the truth and the way to freedom.  &lt;BR/&gt;(Contuine to seek God until that truth and way to freedom becomes known.)&lt;BR/&gt;Then:&lt;BR/&gt;bind the demon of perversion in the name of Jesus Christ and declare your freedom loudly.  Every time you are tempted or bothered by thoughts not of God speak scripture.  "He (meaning you) whom the son sets free (from homosexuailty) is free indeed" Speak it till somthing breaks, speak it till it's real.  And have faith.  &lt;BR/&gt;If you belive you Jesus can set you free, he will.  &lt;BR/&gt;Each person is differnt...so it is important to contuine to seek God about your deliverence until it is complete...&lt;BR/&gt;I hope you take what I have said to heart.  IF you don't belive me then ask God about what I am saying...and keep asking, and keep an open mind to him, and he will speak.&lt;BR/&gt;If you don't want to live in sin I can't stop you.  So go ahead and... see where it leads you if life.  But I advise agaisnt it and I belive things can get better. &lt;BR/&gt;Anyway.&lt;BR/&gt;God Bless.&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 11 May 2006 04:17:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Why would anyone want to be an atheist? - Letters to the Webmaster</title><link>http://ex-christian.disqus.com/why_would_anyone_want_to_be_an_atheist_letters_to_the_webmaster/#comment-17964609</link><description>I have searched for answers and found but one, I have searched for truth and discovered only one, I have longed for life, and I recived it.&lt;BR/&gt;No man can ever know all the deep things of this world, no man can ever gain all knowledge or acquire al wisdom.  The ancient mysterious of this world are too great for us.  Some are too holy, some too sacred, some too evil, some to wonderful.  They are beyond us.  And God is beyond us, and we are unworthy.  And yet...every person of very race has been given this one chance to know God, and to know GOd is life.  Nothing compares to the greatness of knowing God.  I have searched. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I am sure any one who has sent any amount of time within the Body of Christ has heard that Christianty is not about religion but relationship...with God.  Not everyone understands what this means.  &lt;BR/&gt;There are some angry people who say some pretty angry things on this site about relgion...which is perhpas understandable.  They also say some pretty nasty things about about Jesus. And they say they want proof before they will have faith.&lt;BR/&gt;It's intresting...because I have it.  I have proof inside me.  This treasure of mine...this proof this truth.  How I wish I could share it with the world but the world will not listen to me.  They will not listen to God so why would they listen to me?  &lt;BR/&gt;Why speak then?   Because God is fair and just and in the end we will all agree with that statment.  &lt;BR/&gt;Why would anyone want to be an Atheist...beacuse it is easier that way.  &lt;BR/&gt;Searching for God, who is so much higher than us, is hard...cause you can't reach Him on your own steam so you have to hummble yourself and be carried on the wings of his Son.  This can be painful to our pride. &lt;BR/&gt;But love is not proud.  And I love Jesus very much.  I love my God. I love knowing him.  My pride is nothing. &lt;BR/&gt;There are many questions about God and how any of what we teach can be true and how any of it makes sence and I don't want to get into all that...since there is no point.  You can't really ever win  an argument against a determined oppenent.  &lt;BR/&gt;But I will say that I have questioned God many times...many, many time, friends.&lt;BR/&gt;I have asked the question why? &lt;BR/&gt;And in the end I don't know all the "whys" but what I do know is that when a frightend little boy, who was struggling with sin, was attacked by demons in the middle of the night...he called on the name of Jesus and two angels appeared and saved him from the claws that where digging into his chest and the fear that was gripping his soul.  &lt;BR/&gt;Ha...do you belive that?  Was I dreaming?  No...I had never been so awake.  I'll never forgot those angels. They walked on air, it seemed.  One stood close to my bed while the other stood over my brothers, guarding.  It was amazing. &lt;BR/&gt;And God changed me, he changed me from being a hatful persom, a bigot, a racist...into a loving person.  The part of him that's part of me is the only part worth anything.  Cause I was a horrible sinner even during my "Christian walk."&lt;BR/&gt;But that's because I was not walking with Jesus, I was just walking with religion. &lt;BR/&gt;Now beacue I know God I am being changed.  I am a different man.  Now I care about people.&lt;BR/&gt;Why do I have Jesus etched across my brain?  Because he's worth it. &lt;BR/&gt;When I stopped playing church and started seeking to KNOW God it changed my life.  It changed everything.  I got my proof. &lt;BR/&gt;I got my proof when I held the bleeding wrists of a very depressed fifteen year old girl and told her God loved her...I felt the proof of God's love inside me reaching out to her.  &lt;BR/&gt;I got my proof when I prayed with a man that nobody loved, who had been abused horribly by catholic priests, a man that was so bitter and angry...I got my proof when I prayed for him with everything that was in me and seen the Spirit of God touched him and seen the freedom pour forth from his weeping eyes.  &lt;BR/&gt;I got my proof, and I hope you can get yours.&lt;BR/&gt;I have seen the dark side of relgion, I have seen that not all is well with the world.  But I have also seen that knowing God is the greatest thing in the world and is worth searching for.  &lt;BR/&gt;If you want proof of God ask him for it and don't stop until you get it. Oh...and he does love you.  He loves you.  He loves...you. He really does &lt;BR/&gt;love &lt;BR/&gt;you &lt;BR/&gt;still.  &lt;BR/&gt;And that's all I have to say about that.&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;&lt;/BR&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 11 May 2006 03:08:00 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: http://www.crimene.ws/2008/10/craigslist-chop-shop.html</title><link>http://trenchreynoldscrimenews.disqus.com/httpwwwcrimenews200810craigslist_chop_shophtml/#comment-17967981</link><description>ha ha lol they look like the people off of &amp;quot;THE HILLS HAVE EYES!!!!

Police said it was a he said, she said.  It was very hard to ignore the bruises he left on her.  We set up a trap to get him to admit it on the phone, I monitored it, he was just on the verge several times to stating what he had done, he just used his words too carefully.  The only thing he did admit to was having been arrested for beating up his father.  And then he was hired to care for children.  Wow, I am impressed with that background check.  All we can do is hope that others have the strength to come forward now that a four year old has.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 17 Feb 2008 22:09:36 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Question of the day</title><link>http://capitolfaxcom.disqus.com/question_of_the_day_7300/#comment-18178268</link><description>"Individuals living in Los Angeles experience a 7.5% unemployment rate and the second least affordable homes relative to income in the country.

Burris understands what's going on.  He just wants this position more than anything and was willing to do anything to get it--not unlike Jesse Jackson Jr.  Jesse actually raised money for Blago.  We should just move on. Burris is not going to harm anything except his reputation and possibly the Democrats' chances in '10--but probably not. He shouldn't have taken the position, but he did and now he's not going to give it up.  He may be an egomaniac, delusional, and a poor judge of character, but I don't see anything illegal here.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">CC</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 24 Feb 2009 16:36:57 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: This just in&amp;#8230;</title><link>http://capitolfaxcom.disqus.com/this_just_in8230_697/#comment-18212453</link><description>AG Madigan would be a very good candidate for Senate.
