Isaiah 6:8

BTW C.S. Lewis I agree with you on most your other posts, matter of fact I have wanted to reply so some subjects, and you already did with a reply so alike mine that I did not bother. This is one issue that bothers me, I think because to my point of view you are on target with everything else. As I go back and forth with this subject I realize and remember more and more what the Lord has put into my heart to do with my life, so thank you for that.

Family values like child and spousal abuse, marital rape and incest. What do you personally have against Muslims? Your attacks are either rooted in a deep fear, a deep personal hurt from them, or I hesitate to say but almost a racism like hate. I again am not defending there faith. I am defending the people blinded by it. Again I have known former Muslims, one came to the Lord because he had a tender heart and was sick of the injustice. YES Islam is a twisted religion that deceives millions of people and has a dangerous bend. As does Mormonism. Mormons used to use terror tactics and kill those who did not agree. They massacred an entire wagon train that was passing through. Also Drugs are evil many millions abuse them, and thousands hurt and kill other people under the influence. So are we to hate the people doing the sin? Are we to hate are enemies, to destroy and kill them ruthlessly as they do us? Does your attitude towards them make you better then them? Is this Christ like? Is this what the Lord has asked us to do? So what if a child gets born to drug addicts. From a very young age he is given drugs, some how survives into adulthood. By now he is hopelessly addicted to drugs. He commits violent crimes on the drugs even kills a person. Is he responsible? Yes he is, as we all are. But do you blame him for the way he was raised? Or do you pray for him and try to reach him and show him Jesus our Savior and Healer. How many people in this world are lost and sinners. Some dangerous some hate because that's what mommy and daddy taught them. Yes they still make there own choices. But then again some of the most hateful arrogant and judgmental people I have ever met were Christians. I have seen them very violent etc. The thing is these

I think every ethnic group that has come into America should be made to assimulate and everyone should learn to speak english as it is they in whom left their native country to become a citizen of the United States which language is english. I think those who do not conform to our lanuage their loyalty is not with us but are holding on to their culture instead of embracing our culture. I believe the Muslims are a serious threat being in our country. Seemingly, it appears they have accepted our culture but it is clear that many are holding on to their culture as their loyalty lies in ther deadly religion in the land from the country they left. I do realize there are those who pose no threat to us but there is no way to tell who they are and where their loyaty really lies if push comes to shove. oc I again agree and disagree. My main point is this. Muslims need Jesus. Yes we need to be cautious. Yes we need to keep tabs on these types of things and yes other people should embrace our culture as well. But I don't think a person needs to completely forget what they are and where they came from. Do not forget not every aspect of the Islamic culture is evil. Family is big as well as honor and respect. My point is this, do not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Yes there are many Islamic terrorists, but then again,there are many domestic terrorists as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_terr...e_United_States this an article on this. I am not defending the terrorists, or the people who come over to the states pretend to assimilate just plot attacks. I have met many Muslims I have yet to meet any terrorists among them yet they do exist. According to the article I posted they list the K.K.K. Among these terrorists groups. Should we start suspecting every white person as a terrorist? How about the environmentalist terrorists? How about the ant-abortion terrorist how about the Jewish defense league? These are all terrorists? Many of them speak English were born and raised in the States matter of fact may be 2nd or 3rd generation. Should we suspect everyone? I do not think we should. Does Islam have a dangerous undercurrent we should be concerned about YES. But should we treat them like we did the Japanese during WWII and put them in concentration camps? Should we ban them from ever entering our country? Or to use a much worn out phrase

I would both agree and disagree with you... First off the Islamic laws and literature is about downgrading other faiths, etc... we actually read in the Koran "If a women disobeys you, beat her lightly." Yes the religion of Islam is hateful and evil. I do not deny that at any point. I am talking about the people in Islam I would say not by any poll or research but from what I have seen being in Islamic countries is this. about 80% of the people in Islam are normal everyday people like you and I. The big difference is two fold. One is they are indoctrinated from a young age so they know no other religion and anything they know about other religion's is skewed. Actually what they know about their own region is skewed. A large part of the Islamic populace is either illiterate or speak and read a different language then the Koran they have available. Therefore it is up to the Imam's and other religious leaders to tell them what to believe. It is a situation not like the dark ages be for Gutenberg's printing press and and the local priests would tell people what was in the Bible in Latin so that they could control their parishioners. They also associate Christianity with the west, and the west with Hollywood. So all the sin that comes out of Hollywood they think is sanctioned and supported by and embraced by Christians. The second thing is like I said before they are scared, and hopeless longing for true hope. They are like people walking around in the dark hoping for a light to go on. This light they need is Jesus. So my point is this. Pray for the light of Jesus to show to them. Pray that the Lord breaks down strong holds. Pray for missionaries to be able to get into the dark places and bring forth light! Also a definition of muslim So, "Mu-s-l-m" means "Serenely (self-submissive) Relinquisher" [or simply 'Serene Relinquisher'], having meekness and faithfulness to the Divine . By this definition we should all be Muslim's but not followers of Islam.

Well if monogamy is dying we will lose a valuable hardwood resource...

KA-BOOM

Muslims are not evil. Islam is. The fix is beyond simply

Welcome, and I like avast.

My one year prayer experiment. I am going to do a one year prayer experiment I am going to create a list of things and people I am going to pray for every day for one year. During this time I am going to journal what I have prayed for daily. At the end of the year I am going to look back at my journal and see what God has done through my prayers. I know prayer works but I have not been spending enough time in prayer. I feel like the Lord is calling me back to my prayer closet. I am also going to set some basic perimeters on my list, not to be religious, but to make it easier for me to stay on topic. First of all my list is not total more then Five main items and 4 sub-points IE I am going to pray for my youth group as a whole, as I am a leader, and I am only going to list up to 4 kids by name. This is not to say I cannot pray for other kids during my prayer time as the Lord leads but that I will always pray for these three kids. I also am going to try to keep this list private and not let the people involved know that I am praying for them. I want this to be all God. I am also going to have one accountability partner here in town I am going to share this with to hold me to praying everyday. I ask that you may join me in two things. One is that you may join me with my prayer list praying for what I am praying for if you wish. Two if you feel lead to try the same experiment. Finally I am starting tomorrow morning, October 28, 2009 my 6th wedding anniversary. In one year from now I will see what the Lord has done. My List. 1.My Marriage a. We would love each other more and more every day b. We would have a sense of the direction He is leading us. c. That we would come to a unity in our visions and we can walk side by side and not have a tug of war. 2.My Job/finances a. That the Lord blesses me in my current job as I do all things as if serving him. b. That as I do the above the Lord will bless me with all the finances I need to get out of debt and then a blessing to others. c. That the Lord would increase my wisdom on what choices to make with His money that he lets me manage that is all of it! 3.My Family a. My two brothers Joel and Daniel who know the Lord would make him 100% b. My Sister Sarah, who is caught up with everything teen and cheerleader and who's identity is in her friends to find her identity in Christ and that He would become the Father she never really had. c. My brother Ezra. That he would come to the end of himself and realize that he cannot do things on his own and allow the Lord to take the reigns. Also that he would forgive the religious people that hurt him and realize this is not about dead religion but about relationship. d. My Father who raised me. He once knew the Lord but he walked away and is not in a good place. In his words

Cross-Like T-Shirt Design at Penn State University Sparks Controversy Monday , October 26, 2009 By Joshua Rhett Miller Fox News A blue, cross-like design emblazoned on T-shirts at Penn State University has some critics seeing red. The shirts

OK burning, the gloves come off now. I have tried to be nice but you keep being obnoxious so here we go... you have your own agenda, you are not a U.S. Citizen you do not know what is going on here outside of what you see on TV. Of course you know, everything you see on TV is 100% truth right? You have your own biased ideas, you do not want to see the other point of view. From looking at what you have said what you have posted, and the links you have posted you have proven not to be a rational person. You are not only posting thoughts and idea's that are not just liberal but radical liberal. You seem to believe conspiracy theories that back up your own previously formed ideas but yet deride other people who believe in conspiracy theories that disagree with your predetermined idea's.You do not want an honest debate, which I ave with my liberal friends all the time, you just want to attack. You refuse to answer my main point, you refuse to admit that all news organizations have bias, as I have acknowledged you just keep attacking Fox. The point is not Fox news. The point is how the White house is dealing with a situation. They have admitted that they have controlled the media, and they want to control the media, this is against what the United States is founded on and is completely illegal. If you are so concerned about what is going on here, move here become a citizen and vote. I personally do not agree with anything Obama does I did not vote for him, I did vote but for the other guy. I have a right to object to the government and what it does as I live here and I have stated my opinion by voting. As for your accusations. (self described? Who defines what a news organization is? What are the rules? I think CNN started as a

Mess with the Word?... people are strange. As one pastor I know, holding up a Bible said This is not the word of God he paused watching the horrified Look on everyone's face. He then said, this is just paper.. it describes what God's word is but it is not Gods word. John 1 The Eternal Word 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend[a] it. We can mess around with the description but that does not alter what the word truly is. So since we cannot change the everlasting word, why try?.. Silly people's...

Do non-propaganda outlets promote protests that are one sided in nature? Ok, first of all I have read your other posts, and you seem to be a liberal and look through that lens. From what I have seen, you seem to have an anti-conservative agenda. What you state that is true about Fox news is from anti-conservative and or anti fox news sites. You agree with every liberal institution on fox news. Because you seem to look through life through a liberal lens it seems as if you missed my point completely. For the record my best friend is a die hard liberal democrat who I debate with all day long, and he is still my best friend so I do not think lower of you due to your views The white house has freedom of speech, but they are going beyond that. They are now at war with Fox news. Even liberal websites call it a war. War against a news institution by the white house is not freedom of speech, that is the government getting involved and treading dangerous waters. Weather you agree with Fox news, or not, this is violation of the freedom of speech. If the white house just stated that they don't belive that fox news is a ligitamite news sourse that would be fine. But they have taken the extra step to try to force Fox out of bussness one step at a time.

Fox didn't organize the 'tea parties' if that's what you mean and certainly not the town hall meetings. Anyway, even if they did.....Americans are free to do that. It's not necessary for our government to approve of the press either. Fox didn't lose anything; in fact they GAINED 20% in ratings. Who or what is 'Hannel'? If you disagree with the news source that is fine with me. All news sources have a bias. Because humans are reporting. The issue here is not that fox news has some political bias as do all news sources, but that the President of the United States is attacking a news source that he cannot control. This is not just criticizing Fox its is an all out war. They are repeatadly trying to discredit them and cause them to lose status, bussness and income. This is not only against the constitution, it is one of the ten planks of the communist manifesto to transition to a communist state.

Nothing new; the Bush administration lashed out at their critics hard too. Does anyone remember Valerie Plame? It amazes me that people are surprised when politicans are being....politicians. This is NOT abridging freedom of the press. That would be when they came in and shut Fox down. This is criticizing the press. It's way over the top and juvenile but it's NOT anything new. True, they are not abridging the freedom of the press but they have pushed for it. The

Taken from foxnews.com "White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on Tuesday pointed to two top-rated opinion shows on Fox News as the reason why the Obama administration has castigated the network as an illegitimate news organization. Gibbs weighed in on the controversy after several top White House advisers have gone on other channels to criticize Fox News' coverage of the administration, dismiss the network as the mouthpiece of the Republican Party and urge other news organizations not to treat Fox News as a legitimate news station. Gibbs said White House officials "render (that) opinion based on some their coverage and the fairness of that coverage." But asked how Fox News was different from other news organizations, Gibbs mentioned the channel's 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. shows, in an explicit reference to "Beck" and "Hannity" -- even though those two shows represent opinion programming. Informed that those hours are for opinion programming, Gibbs said: "That is our opinion." but I guess its all right to base this on an opinion as did the Nobel committee with the opinion that Obama may do something good. Someday... They are attacked because they dare to disagree with the president. This means our freedoms are under attack... no real suprise. The bill of rights. the third Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Abridging the freedom of the press. What is next? Pray people this is just a the start.

Obama was elected by CNN, BBC etc... He won his election by media bias. Not his witty campaign commercials not his witty speeches but by the popular media, save fox news. Now that he is crashing and burning, he is targeting the one news network that did not line up and follow the pied piper into the river. I know this in part because my wife is from Norway and in Norway its near imposable to get Fox news or any other conservative news outlet at all. I was over there During the Bush V Kerry elections and they all hated Bush. But no one knew why. They also thought that Saddam was a nice guy, as CNN and the BBC which they do get failed to cover Saddam's atrocity they were surprised when I told them about mass graves in Iraq full of Iraqis. They had no clue that Saddam was evil by watching the news from the states. So if you do not support the government run media you are attacked.

Cool Thanks!

One of the times I am emberssed for my wife as she is Norwegian. But you can not compleatly blame them, as their only sources of news are Libral media with major slants. But then again, this makes me think one thing. Saints its TIME TO PRAY!

Maybe I'm just becoming more sensitive and aware. I have been praying for a heart for missions (sad, I know, but the desire just wasn't there ) and the fragility of this world and our lives is becoming more evident. yeah that would do it. and Missions is very important. its my heart right now, and my heart to inspire others to the same.

Hmm.. but yet where I live, California, not many earthquakes to speak of and yet we are in "earthquake central.. I dont' know kid. *HUG*.

Hello Coffeespiller87, First before I go into my thoughts a brief intro to me. I am also a coffee spiller to the point it drives my wife nuts! Usually in bed on my comforters in the morning as I am not awake enough to hold the cup straight. Whoops. I have been married for just shy of 6 years now, the 28th of this month is my 6th anniversary. I got married when I was 24, and it was the Lord who brought the two of us together. Here is my story I hope it helps. Growing up I never dated, I failed to see a point in it. Granted my mom told me I was not allowed to date until I was 16, but by that time I had decided that God had a better plan for me. So amongst jibes from my friends and strangers I stuck to my guns. I planned on two things. One to trust Him to bring me my mate, and the other was that I was going to wait till I was ready to marry before I even started looking for a spouse. When the time came to look I was determined to court my wife. To my point of view the word court has a million meanings ranging from simply another word for the typical
