Where Are The Defenders Of Our Faith?

[Theland]

Christians being murdered all over the world, the latest atrocities in France - Again!
Muslims invading us from across the channel.
Who will defend us?

[Theland]

Knowledge of God invites worship.

[naomi24]

Worming again, Theland. I assume then that the logical answer - and you know what that is - doesn't suit your purpose.

[Zacs-Master]

Rather quiet on the US election threads, N.

[naomi24]

I said my bit this morning, Z.

[Zacs-Master]

Yeah yeah yeah. You’ve been saying your ‘bit’ for the last 4 years.

[Mozz71]

It was a big bit.

[Zacs-Master]

Only one letter out, mozz.

[Theland]

Worming? That's not nice.
Why would I, ''worm?''
What do you mean?
What is my purpose?

[naomi24]

Just answer the question, Theland.

[Theland]

I have answered your question. Not my problem if you don't like the answer.

[naomi24]

Theland, I know you're not fond of giving straight answers to straight questions but I can't see an answer from you - not even a cryptic one - and I'm not too bad at deciphering cryptic clues.

// '' I am the way the truth and the life, nobody comes to the father except through me.''//

Is that the best you can do, in an attempt to answer my question, submitted yesterday at 14.52 ^^ The Gospel of John is the least reliable of the four Gospels. Only about 10% of it ties in with the other three.

Anyway when it comes to Jesus being the son of God, could it be said that all of the disciples were classed by Jesus as sons of God.? Think of the 'Lord's Prayer' that Jesus taught....'OUR father in heaven

I doubt that

You Did Not Understand

Speaking of our religious beliefs-
the vacuous Julian said; 'I read it, I understood,
I condemned.' As he thought he could annihilate us
with the 'condemned' of his, the buffoon!

We Christians, however, have no truck with such cleverness.
we answered him straight away; 'You read,
but you do not understand; for if you had understood,
you would not have condemned.'




C.P. Cavafy (1863-1933)
Translated from Greek by Avi Sharon

[HansUrbancka]

My response to you was suddenly posted, without being finished.

I was going to say....I doubt that you will disagree the opening words of the prayer, although other words have been altered from time to tome.

Hans.

[naomi24]

Khandro, again someone else's thoughts. So rarely we get an original word from you.

[Khandro]

Does being told you do not understand irritate you?

[naomi24]

No, Khandro. I tend to dismiss that sort of irrationality.

[Khandro]

I think your 'dismissal' is exactly the point. To not understand something acceptable, but to not want to understand is incomprehensible & comes from being on the outside looking in.

[naomi24]

Khandro, having been on both sides of the window I think it fair to say I understand very well indeed - which is why I hold the opinions I do - a result of applying rationality to the irrational. Can you claim likewise?

[Khandro]

Some of life's most important & fulfilling things are irrational
