Christianity is pretty tolerant compared to other religions. We are tolerant because we do not kill people just because they are infidels, or because they do not believe in our religion. We do not kill hundreds of innocent people in the name of our God, we do not get angry and start murderous rampages everytime someone posts a picture of God or Jesus Christ on a wall or in a comic book. Jesus was pretty tolerant from my perspective, and from what I have read. Sure, it seems pretty intolerant to a lot of people who do not approve of us, but in general I would never blow myself up for the sake of God. He gave me my life - so why waste it?

Hi. I was curious to know if we are allowed to post links to videos on GodTube. Unlike YouTube, it is a Christian-only video site and has the same Christian videos as YouTube but without some stuff that is rude or offensive in the "More Videos" section.

Hi, everyone. I would appreciate if the topic would stay within the original question (above), and not go off track and into potential debates. I would just like to keep this on track and not go into a "he-said, she-said" thing so thanks for anymore information on the subject matter.

Yes, I know there are ones like that. But also notice I didn't say "All" of the Christians in the world are not committed to Jesus. I was only speaking of the specific party of Christians who aren't, not those who are.
-
I agree with your statement. There are many people who are more committed to things other than Jesus Christ and the gospel. Even though Tom Cruise is dealing in Scientology, look at how much faith and belief he has in it. Why can't a lot of Christians have the same stead-fast hold in Christ and the gospel as someone in Scientology, etc?

I found the following at this site. If you do some research on the net, you will see that they want nothing to do with God.

I agree with you, Giaour. If God meant for a "code" to be put in the Bible, why hasn't anyone else figured it out now?
-
Wow, that bold part is enough to turn my stomach. I agree with you - this is not a "religion". This is just another sick scam that's pleasing on the outside but rotten on the inside.

Well...I have to say, I am still terribly confused. I didn't even watch half of the video because it just didn't make any sense. So - what is in the video that Scientology is trying to suppress and not show to the world? To me, it sounded like a bunch of blah. In my opinion, they are getting all their attention because of the fact Tom Cruise is in it. And what's with all the criticism over Tom? If he wants to be a Scientologist, that's his problem, not mine. Really, can someone help me over here?

Thank you, Scarletprayers!

Considering the large amount of threads on Christian forums about Scientology, I've come to ask the question what is so unacceptable about Scientology. I look at these threads and posts that talk about it being something considerably evil, etc, but there is really no explanation of what it is that is so...horrible. Unless I am not looking correctly, or people are just overreacting over nothing, I'm still going to become confused. Thanks for any clarifications! ~Near~

I've noticed many people talking about Scientology...but what IS it about Scientology that is so unacceptable? That is what is confusing me more than the Scientology. What is it? I need an explanation. ~Near~

I think before we can say we love or don't love anyone, we need a working definition of love. I mean, what does she mean when she uses that word? I agree with Shiloh. (In my opinion) Everyone has a different definition of what love is. The same with people's idea of God's love. I'd have to say - how many people are there in this world who only see God's love as showering you with money, cars, and whatever you want? I can't count the number, big or small, but there are some people who see it this way. Love is not something you just say like "Oh, I love such-and-such, blah blah", and you can't "buy" love. Love is a lot more than just materialistic things, it's something you have...something...special, I guess. Like my love for God for example. I don't just love God because of what He does for me, I love God because He loves me, and because I have faith in Him even when I cannot see him. I've met a couple of people on forums who said "Oh, I love you because you are so nice!" etc and then became oddly nasty, even mean, to me. This may or may not be the case for many people, but you also have to factor in the internet. It is an anonymous community, so, you can act, say, and be whoever you like. Well, hope that helps a bit . lol ~Near~

Hm, I see. I agree. From the first few words I was surprised it was even called "best-selling".

Well, as I was surfing through Wikipedia, doing some research on a number of items, I came across the link to The Bible Code, a series of controversial books by Michael Drosnin. I am quite skeptical and it probably has raised some eyebrows (no doubt that is why Wikipedia labeled it "controversial"), but, I am up to read books like these just to test out these authors. What got me was about the extraterrestrial beings that supposedly made the "code". I would like to see some comments from anyone who has read this book, and also "Why or Why not" information on this. For the article: http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible_Code *Please move if needed* Thanks! Near
