I'm glad you've come to take the highest view of scripture, it is indeed the Word of the Living God, believing this has never done me wrong. Hold on to the Truth.
It's just as we were warned from the begininng - corrupt people shall arise from amongst us denying the faith. Anyone can be called a Christian but it does not mean that they are one. For you muslims it may be plain and simple because you choose to follow the sayings of one man 600 years after...

Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall...
I think that when responding emotionally we are unlikely to weigh up what our decision will cost us and what the consequences will be - we jump in blindly. After this we can be found to be out of our depth or in a situation we wish we had never put ourselves in and seek a way out.

The text in question is speaking of what substance or matter creation is made out of - which is not visible to the naked eye i.e atoms. This we understand by faith, we know it is true even though we cannot see it (or could not rather at the time of writing). It is being used as an example of...
It was the Father who named Him and God has no nationality so the arguement falls down right at the start. Mary and Joseph simply obeyed the angelic messenger of God who said He shall be called Jesus for He shall save His people from their sins.

However I think that salvation by grace through faith is clearly taught in the Epistles.
Just think, if people were actually getting fed at church then there would be no need to buy all the cd sermons, dvd sermons, books and watch the countless teachers on the "Christian" shows on TV.
There is a massive merchandise out there that banks on poor teaching in churches. Good teaching...
Leviticus 16:7-10 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's...
St. Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; St. Mark 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall...
We should love our neighbour but that does not mean that they should not be corrected, real love would correct a fatal error rather than let a lie spread.
We are not instructed to spread peace, be tolerant or win non believers over with kindness that is a misconception although kindness we...
