Absolutely. American christians are Wimps. Either lazy ,or fearful,which is not christianlike.Are you American ? Why don't you begin the process of getting friends and family to complain in large numbers.

Very ,very worrying indeed. It means too that there will floods of refugees into W. Europe ,which is already under strain from too much expansion into the eastern EU countries . Unemployment ,cutbacks in welfare pushing movements of extreme right parties to the centre politics,and now with the F.N. in France highest in the polls to win European élections at the weekend, it is all coming to a head .

, Yes ,there are at least 3,000 thousand words from the French language ,spelt in the same way but pronounced differently. Language has often been forced on people by the conquerers,as in the Norman invasion,but is so important to peoples identity ,that old languages can be resuscitated as in France where Briton,Basque,and Occitan are being taught again in the areas concerned. French too was a colonial language forced on smaller cultures. Corse, is another (Corsica) culture where violence against French rule still continues.

I don't know that it is the 'language of God' ,but it was the language of Colonialism .The language of the largest imperialist power since Rome ,and even more so . I do not agree with you that the English were the people who spread God's word more than any other .I believe it was the Roman Church who did that,as, until it went of the rails a bit,spread the 'word' of God for it's own sake,not for power,and greed as did the English establishment,whose purpose ws not at all the souls of humanit y but pure secular power. English is not popular among the peoples of the world,but is tolerated for business,for capitalism.

One of the most important steps for me was to be able to talk about Jesus whom I wanted o get to know better by discussing how He revealed Himself in the bible. Don't remember doing much of that in catholic school,where going to mass was demanded of us,but although we had a vague idea it was very vague and we never learned or discussed Jesus of the bible. Instead we learned to follow the rules,and what were very pleasant rituals. When I wanted to know about my Saviour,it needed an american pastor's wife to guide to through the bible,learning and understanding what we needed to be and do as christians. After that she showed me how to pray ;to be natural,and to open up to Jesus,to not hold back,and not to be afraid to be awkward at first, as all He wants is a Relationship with Him,then He will take over and has never ever let me down ,although as a human it takes some time adapt to His way ,which is not ours.As time goes on it gets easier,but there have been many 'dry phases',and even angry ones,I'm afraid .

You know the song "one day at a time dear Jesus"......... I feel that if we look at ourselves and change just one tiny thing about how we look at life etc Kwik is correct,we can only change ourselves,and allow ourselves to be happy even if others do not behave the way we want them too. We should also ty to stop making excuses for ourselves because things were bad in the past Just one tiny change ,letting go of hate ,fear ,anger etc can help .An of course prayer to our dear saviour and patience while God tends to your prayer.

I do not know what the bok contains,but I can guess . Do you not think maybe it is time for christian Americans to march ,demonstrate publicly and in numbers against this invasion of the diabolic into public education etc: The big démos in France worked in so far as there will be no surrogate mothers and I need to look up it' name ,but its been banned too. Will return with name . As for books in schools,there was an outcry over book about homosexuality etc. for infants which was withdrawn Under pressure from parents involved in the démos .People who had no contact before set up networks to resist this kind of thing and will continue to do so . My prayer for this man who needs to be supported actively too.

The Bible doesn't say that God chooses who will or will not be saved. The biblcial doctrine of predestination pertains to what God has predestined believers to become AFTER they are saved; it doesn't say that God predestines some to be saved and others to be lost. Romans 9 is not about salvation. It focuses on the sovereignty of God in tersm of God's sovereign choice to use people for a particular purpose. Paul, in Romans 9 is defending God's justness in causing a partial blindness to come upon the Jews so that Jesus would be rejected and the promise of salvation could be fulfilled. Paul uses the example of Pharoah through whom God used to show His power. God did not create Pharoah simply to destroy him. God does not create people to send them to hell. There are incompetent and sloppy theologians who take that heretical view of God. But the notion that God creates some people to send to hell violates the biblical revelation of God's nature and character. Predistination in the NT is always about service not salvation. The Bible does not take the extremist position that every event is willed by God. There are hyper sovereignty people who think that every action, good or bad, sinful or righteous, is willed by God, but that is an unbalanced and extreme view of God that the Bible doesn't support. IT is not rooted in the Bible at all. The free will vs. sovereignty debate often gets very contentious because it asking the wrong question from the outset and this leads to confusion and endless debate. The question is usually about whether or not God gives us the freewill to choose to believe the Gospel. But that is the wrong question. The correct question is, "what is the relationship of my choices in life, good or bad, to the sovereign will of God over my and direction it is headed? What about children who die at birth ,or too young to know God I have my own theories,but they are notthe same as most christians. I would like to know from the point of view of somone who is exclusively bible based in their beliefs,and ignores other manifestaions of God's Creative will in history and in science ad even parts of the bible,which are ignored or denied ? Thankyou in advance for anything which helps. May God bless you,(que Dieu vous benice)

Simply speak to Jesus and say that you need to begin again,and will He help you to really do it this timeHowever try to make it a time when you might be able to really do it .What you are saying is a very minor 'sin' so do not worry too much . You have not been cruel to others,or lied about others . Jesus said were to keep forgiving others,and to love one another,not to be judging them . You do not need to listen to people here,because what you have done is only between you and a loving God no matter what they say who would chastise you . I have an American friend who is a graduate from bible college in the US and she said she is still recovering from the twisted hateful image of Jesus that was forced on her and other students by so called christians. This is a much greater sin to make people afraid to approach God for help,too afraid to have a real Relationship with Him where you can ask for and will get all the help you need.

Did you or didn't you? Yes or No? You need to take ownership of things you say, especially to God. Do you realise how harsh you sound ? God is loving .She did not lie to God,she meant it at the time,and will give her more chances,even if you would'nt .

No it is not because they know so much.It is because from birth our brain cells start to die.By the mid 60's you are in real trouble. I am 61. Today I drove about 100 miles, mostly in four wheel drive. I walked about 4 miles in searing heat and humidity. Came back to camp, wrote a report, ate and showered and then got on to Worthy before reading for awhile. i feel like I could do it all again and tomorrow I will. It is so humid the water is running down the walls. No aircon or fan... It's only a number! It is indeed,as I am more or less the same age,but it is due entirely to the One Above ,as I have bad habits,which affects my health,and by my self would probably eatand drink my way into the grave. I have become more disciplined with effort although it has taken years ,and I am in better shape than when I was 40

I know what happens ,I have been there.It is a very aggressive culture,very egoist and demanding .Many people move to avoid living in these gettoes. I am not living in the UK now,and am glad not to be. I taught children from many backgrounds,and although I would not lump all people born Under islam together,it is indeed a very backward tribal culture,and causes chaos around where it is common. Many districts become unliveable in because of the bad habits of dumping etc. The Indian people were notably civilised in comparison.

I am totally impressed by all of the replies. Mine was not needed .
