Emir Caner talked what is perceived by him. I wonder if Jesus was god then why he had to eat, deficate and bear the falsehood by people all around him. To me, Jesus was a man brought Gospel from God and his followers were true christians and so am I.
Well written from a Christian point of understanding. Who created alcoholism, drug trafficking, lesbianism, homosexualism and racism. Such are the facts which got developed in American society but Christian churches were sleeping at the time. Now when someone else has filled the gap, they have come to senses and rushing to repair the damage.
Let us search our soul, where Christianity made mistakes and our major chunk of population converted to atheism. Repair the damage from the roots, do not prune the leaves to make it bud again.
Rev. Julian Dobbs; I must congratulate you for writing what is your perception about Muslims in general and Islam in particular. But I would have preferred the title of this write up as "Time to Call Muslims to Account".
Extremists among Muslims are no less than what KKK stands for. The second puzzle of your write up incites a question; Why you chose to act against Islam? Although Buddhism, Hinduism and aetheism have eroded many Christians to their ranks. Today more than 50% of white Americans are atheists and you do not bother about them. Rev. Julian Dobbs let us correct our home first then confront others. Otherwise confronting Islam would not let you win and it will create more extremism among Muslims against Christians like you. However, it is time to confront extremist Muslims, who would allow you to win and if Christians like you open their arms to Muslims of peaceful nature.
God Bless America.

Me being a Christian, do not worry about Islam and Muslims, simply because, Islam tolerated Christianity in the Arab world. Today, Iraq, Jordan, Palestine and rest of the Arab world have a tangible number of Christians. Secondly, most muslims consider Christians as "people of the book" as we have New Testament. Thirdly, Muslims believe in Jesus Christ and Qur'an has many positive references to Jesus unlike Judaism. If we are receding in population, it is simply because we are afraid of having more children due to fear of poverty and loss of our own financial status. That is wrong and wrong perception.
The best way to preserve Christianity would be to follow the commands of Gospel which Jesus wanted us to do. Revere more about Jesus's teachings and be a true Christian. Unfortunately, Christians of today (not all) are due to their race rather than by commitment. Thanks God, quite a few Christians are on righteous path by following humble path of Jesus.

United States of America is a supposedly secular state but very religious credentials of Barack Obama were questioned whether he is a secret Muslim or a full fledged Christian. To me, I do not care about his religious background as long as he is not a communist. I have seen in him a great American who is wise and accepted by most Americans.
If he has mainstream Christians, minority Jews and immigrant Hindus in administration then why not select few qualified American Muslims eligible for the job. Mind you, there credentials would be there qualification rather than being Muslim. An undeclared but wisely understood representation from diverse religious groups in American administration would give a sense of belonging for all Americans which will also include culturally diverse people.
United States of America is great and only in this country great examples are set. Barack Obama is a miracle which could only happen in America otherwise no country could present such an example and of its kind.

Pope Benedict XVI is sending a message that violence in any form is null and void. I say Amen to it.
How the same message of Pope Benedict XVI does not reach to Zionists in israel who have been using violence to occupy lands from the Palestinians. At a recent Israeli violence, 1400 civilians died bleeding and hungry. The embargo often criminally defended makes civilians desperate for normal living in Gaza. Pope Benedict XVI has not looked in to such sufferings.
Hamas; another party to the violence, did not relaize how much damage they cause to Palestinians in Gaza. Fortunately, they have 3 : 1400 capability when it comes to violence against Israel. Pope Benedict XVI must concentrate his efforts to bring a permanent peace in Middle East.
Cameroon is an isle of peace in Africa. Talking peace in their not so important as talking peace in the heart of Israel where Torah is violated day and night.

It is inhuman to pose a threat to kill someone in modern times. It is like Israelis who always threaten Palestinians in Gaza. No wonder, these terrorists in Iran wants to copy the tricks of Israelis against Ex-Muslims of Iranian origin. I wish wisdom prevails over such humans who do not hesitate to kill non-combatants and humans could be saved for the work of God upon this planet earth.
We all would die one day or the other. The life we possess must be utilized to educate fellow humans with message of peace so that everyone could get respect, justice and opportunity. The killing 1400 innocent Palestinians by Israeli soldiers shall not be allowed to be repeated elsewhere upon this planet earth.

since when do ya need a court to approve that you are a Christian? Weird!
Yes; in a country like Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Weird it may be, but it becomes legal in the court of local law.

God would save those people who truely believe in ten commandmends and commit to the laws of Torah and Gospel. By chanting lip service in favour of Jesus do not make a person pious but a hyppocrat.
Humanity could only be saved by acting upon what Jesus taught in Gospel. A true Christian would not deviate from Christ words but adhere to it as he adheres to his beloved life.
Wake up Christians: It is time to repent and redeem yourselves.

I loved George W. Bush because he was religiously loyal to Chritianity and he was a Pro-Lifer in his policies. He kept his promises and remained loyal to his friends and remained enemy to his enemies. One could tell what George W. Bush could do against a potent enemy. But he was a human, few errors he made are negligible. He will be remembered as a real conservative and a strongest president USA ever had.
Barack Obama could be a good president, certainly a wise Christian but his policies in favour of abortion make him not favourable to Pro-Lifers. May be, it is a democratic party agenda which he persues.

Hindu Jagarna Vedike did not realise that "Charlie Chaplin" was not a Christian but a Jewish by faith and race. Even if he was a Christian, installation of his statue would have added to the respect of entertainment in poverty stricken Udupi district of India. If Charlie was alive today, he would be baffled that his faith counted more to Hindu Jagran but his comedy meant nothing to them. Hindu Jagarna Vedike are bunch of illiterates and they should be ashamed of their activities.

Internation Criminal Court (ICC) should not play dual standards when it come to indicting Omar Hassan al-Bashir. Bashir has made excesses in Darfur, South Sudan and even in east Sudan but what it happens when a country is in Civil War. Bashir could have done better and settled for a durable peace through negotiations.
ICC must indict Ehud Olmert of Israel for butchering Palestinians in Gaza while Islamil Haniyeh of Hamas should be arrested and tried for sending rockets to civilan targets in israel.

Turkish Republic of Cyprus safeguards religious institutions which includes Synagogues, Churches and Mosques. The discovery of a 2000 years old bible would certainly bring new enlightenment if the authenticity is proven. What would make it interesting to see if the assyrian 2000 years old Bible is similar or different to the present day Bible.

Hamoud Bin Saleh, a Saudi National and a convert to Christianity from Islam should not surprise anyone but to saudis who consider Christianity as an off-shoot of basic Islam (Shalom)prophessed by Abraham. In Saudi Arabia, if a Muslim converts to other religion, it is a crime punishable by beheading or death by any means. The person who leaves Islam and converts to any religion is considered Murtad.
A Murtad is the one who leaves God's religion of Islam meaning rebelled against God. Such a person has no right to live. Such laws persists in Saudi, Iran, Sudan and Afghanistan.
A challenging question to Saudis is to answer what wrong they commit to let this Muslim convert into Christianity. I would recommend this new Christian a new life out of Saudia so that he could further look what humanity means to him.

The religious schools have right to say "NO" to anti-religious students that is their ethic and morality code. However, lesbian couples or Gay couples could go to public schools if they do not like religious schools or wish to adhere to their Lesbian or Gay ideals. Why they disturb religon by acting against religous ideals.
One day they may vive for a Gay School - fair enough.

When Adam was created by God, Adam thanked God for beautiful place to live in heaven. Especially in the angels company and foods of his desire were available with his desire on it to be presented. But Adam was still not satisfied and he louded his plea by asking someone of his type. So he requested and suppllicated to Almighty God " Give me someone of my type with whom I get consonance and peace of mind".
Almighty God gave him "Eve" as a natural partner with whom he would make love and get peace of heart and mind. That is what God commanded to be and Adam faithfully wholeheartedly accepted to be. He never befooled his soul by asking another adam instead of Eve.
This should be a sufficient lesson to every human born upon earth and especially those who seek homosexuality as a way of life. "Thou shall not follow the path of Sodomites otherwise hell awaits you to fill its belly right after your death (A'Men)".
Ban on human torture in order to procure confession seems humane but many criminals could take advantage of this law and hide their crimes with their heart without spitting it out.
In order to get confession of a committed crime of terror, Mind mapping, Heart mapping, Face reading and many other non torturous means would be needed. Could anyone explain how would they get confession of a committed crime.
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
