  • Headlines regarding Religion of Peace from different parts of the world.?

    1.Sanna-Yemen. Al QIADA gunmen shot dead German security Guard at German embassy in the name of Alah.

    2.Al QIADA suicide bomber drove truck packed with explosives into the playground of a (wait for it) primary school killing 14 children and their teacher and himself in the name of Alah.

    3. Maiduguri-Nigeria- 20 people killed in the name of Alah. Islamist group Boko Haram claimed responsibility.

    Latest body count from Syria- 120000 people have been killed, Muslims killing Muslims both in the name of Alah presumably. Lots of other atrocities happening in the name of the religion of peace, too numerous to count. My question is when is the religion of peace going to bring an end to this?

  • Is the heavy hand of government needed to keep sexually violent images away from children?

    Looking at studies in the UK, the average age of first exposure to online porn, ( in the UK at least) is between six and eight years of age, and twelve to seventeen- year- olds are the largest consumers.

    Contrary to what a lot of people think, these children and young teens are not watching for arousal, but as a guide to their own future actual performance. And what they are seeing is not normative sex, but rape theatre.

    Dr John Woods, an expert in porn addiction at London's Portman clinic, likens the "trauma" young boys feel watching images of sex involving animals, stabbing and strangling to " child abuse on a massive scale".

    Anybody out there who disagrees with UK Prime minister David Cameron wanting internet providers to to take responsibility and fulfil their " moral duty" to block pornography as a default only releasing access to those who actively demand it.

  • Is it ok to take children to a gay pride parade?

    The Toronto gay pride parade/sex parade recently took place in Toronto Canada and there must have been hundreds of young children with their parents in attendance watching various floats with so called men simulating intercourse with each other and also simulating oral sex with each other as well as a float with completely naked men fondling their penises and with signs saying " Why circumcise when our foreskins feel really good" My first question is what kind of parents would take their children to see this crap? My second question is why would any city be allowed to show this kind of filth, especially when young children are watching?There were also lots of police along the rout, but not one of them did anything to stop what was going on. They just turned a blind eye. Is the city of Toronto Canada morally bankrupt or is this kind of display going on all over the western world and now is the norm? Is there anybody out there that can answer my questions honestly and intelligently?

  • Is Annihilationism Biblical, a question for my brothers and sisters in Christ.?

    An interesting view by Hank Hanegraaff.

    If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name. (Rev. 14:9-11 NIV)

    Just as universalism (i.e., everyone will be saved) is the rage in liberal Christian circles, so, too, annihilationism (i.e., God will annihilate unbelievers) is gaining momentum in conservative Christian circles. The question, of course, is whether annihilationism is Biblical.

    First, common sense tells us that a God of love and justice does not arbitrarily annihilate a portion of the crowning jewels of His creation. He graciously provides everyone the freedom to choose between redemption and rebellion. It would be a horrific evil to think that God would create people with freedom of choice and then annihilate them because of their choices.

    Furthermore, common sense also leads us to the conclusion that nonexistence is not better than existence since nonexistence is nothing at all. It is also crucial to recognize that not all existence in hell will be equal. We may safely conclude that Hitler's torment in hell will greatly exceed the torment experienced by a garden-variety pagan. God is perfectly just, and each person who spurns His grace will suffer exactly what he or she deserves (see Luke 12:47-48; cf. Proverbs 24:12; Matthew 16:27; Colossians 3:25; Revelation 20:11-15).

    Finally, humans are fashioned in the very image of God (Genesis 1:27); therefore, to eliminate them would do violence to His nature. The alternative to annihilation is quarantine. That is precisely what hell is, a place where truth is realized-too late.
