...I mean, God eXpects us believers to forgive others who ask us to forgive them like he does, and not to hold it against them, so why does God continue to punish us after He has forgiven??? Sin = death, but if our sins are forgiven why do we still have to die??

Why or why not? What's your opinion of this:

OH NO!!! What say you??

The following is in his bio: Henry Dunant founder of the Red cross, worked with groups that sought to draw young men of all nations into a Christian union. He was influential in the founding of the International YMCA, which had its first meeting in Paris in 1855. At other periods he was interested in projects for the bringing together of Christians and Jews, for the founding of a Jewish settlement in Palestine, and for promoting international peace.

Dunant was brought up a Protestant and was early led toward piety and good works, in which the example of his mother was particularly strong. As a young man, he belonged to the Geneva League of Alms and worked to relieve poverty and illness. In his old age, he disclaimed membership in any particular church. "I am a disciple of Christ, as in the first century, simply that," he wrote.

Therefore your saying that the Red cross is not based on christian values is faulty because it was founded on them. See http://www.sbredcross.org/about/archistory.htm

I mean mostly Muslims from countries outside the USA. Do your Islamic leaders teach you that? I have talked to many Muslims that think any segmant of Christianity outside of Catholicism is a cult or "sect" as they call it, and they mean Evangelical Christians. Just wondered.

I am thinking about visiting/attending a local christian church that seems kool. But when I sent the Pastor an email from their website asking for his educational and miniserial background, as most churches willingly post/provide, he didn't even answer me. So i re-sent it to the office assistant, and he replied... "We do not and will not list our Pastors' resumes or credentials due to the fact that we don't focus on where we came from, but instead, where we are going! To post this information may give the wrong impression of who they really are; who they have grown to be in Christ."

This seems very secretive to me, and a huge red flag!!! What do you think about this??

I had a root canal 7 days ago and it's still very painful. I'm taking Vicoden and an antibiotic, but it's not really helping. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Anyone know what might be wrong? Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!
