having things sorted out

Nice article like others have commented

I wish I am wrong. What I wish more than anything else however is that Africans all over the world will work harder to make our countries liveable and attractive to its people.

This is very important

babyosisi:
You people should make up your minds.
You say one thing and logical says another,which one is it?
Is the peaceful religion now confused?
You see why we (non muslims) have a problem with you people.

Not all non-muslims have a problem with muslims. You know not all christains agree on everything (e.g those that believe in purgatory and those that don't).
They probably understand things a little bit differently the same way christians understand somethings a little bit differently.

Can't we do that and still have a permanent seat in the UN?

I think we can. I think the # of permanent members should be increased. And if increased, we have to have an African representative.

that would be nice

how bout sept. 1st

babyosisi,

thanks for answering my questions. I did not really look at it in that way. I just thought it wasn't bad if you didn't take it a lot or enough to alter your way of thinking.

What about just an occasional sip of wine or Irish cream

Matthew 18:18-20

Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind in earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Again I say unto you, That if two or you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask , it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Starting with verse 18 how come purgatory is not mentioned. Or is purgatory on earth? that verse shows there is power on earth.
Verse 20 does not say when 2 or 3 more dead people are gathered. He was preaching to the living that means he would be referring to the living, if otherwise it would have clearly stated.

I am not taking it the wrong way

But if you can explain more for me that would be fine.
thats why i talked about getting tipsy and drunk not being good.

I know my body is the temple of the Lord. But if i drink alcohol in moderation without it affecting me, is that bad. Even if it's bad, whatabout the use of alcohol e.g brandy in making cake. I also know some other foreign dishes that are made using alcohol. And it does not make you tipsy.

@ gigitte

please back up your points with bible quotations so we can reference. Mine on 2 or more praying together i will try to find it (the reference). I can't comment on some of your points until you reference them.

as for this born again affair, it is strictly pentecostal. the closest parallel i can find to it is baptism and confirmation

so are you saying the bible is pentecostal. Because being born again is in the bible.

But jesus didnt say you have to be born again before you die

you're equating death with being powerless

you cannot see the kingdom of God without being born again. Once your dead you dont have the chance to become born again.
John 5:24-25
Verily, verily i say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Verily, verily I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

Capital NO.

Terrorism is not a muslim problem. Its a worldwide problem.
A terrorist is one that instills fear in the minds of people.
You don't have to be muslim to instil fear in the minds of people

He is all of the above and much more

i just saw this for the first time and decided to post

Someone posted last 2 months too

I didn't have time to read through all the pages. I just read the last two. And i want to say good job to TayoD for his responses.
@ topic i don't know if catholics believe in being born again, because of the following reason:
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily Verily, I say unto thee. Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.
This was Jesus's response to Nicodemus.
My interpretation is that you have to be born again before you die and hence you can see the kingdom of God.
Catholics believe in purgatory, and i don't see how that fits with God's word. For one I'm sure Jesus would have talked about it (if there was an option like purgatory). Secondly once your dead your dead, and i don't think there is room to make good after that (we already had that chance before death).
In terms of big sin/crime versus small sin/crime that someone mentioned earlier, I don't know how God is going to judge that, all i know is that we should continue to ask forgiveness anytime we backslide (because we are not perfect), so that when its our time to die or end of time reaches, we would be right with God.

On praying through Mary or Saints (or asking them to intercede on our behalf).
I don't know why there is a need for that when we can pray to God directly or through Jesus directly. Ofcourse i can ask my friends to pray with me because its in the bible where two or more are gathered in his name he is there in their midsts (not sure of the exact scripture or if i quoted it exactly right).
Also how do you ask people that are dead to intercede on your behalf?

But in the long run, we are not supposed to judge.

- To live as christians outside of church not just on sundays when we go to church
- Alcohol is a drug _{for me i don't think it is and i don't think its bad unless you get too tipsy or drunk}
