Sam,

I must let it be known that I, in no way, sanction generalizing about groups of people in a negative way.

If you recall my first post to this forum was prompted by the fact that a series of previous posts sounded biased to me. In my opinion it's anti-american to criticize an entire culture.

My only strong assertion this past week has been that my life experience has led me to believe that all religion is man made, and that there's more to be gained by exchanging diverse ideas on this subject than there is by blindly believing dogma.

Hope you understand the point I've tried to make. I don't condone putting large groups of people in categories according to traits or any other generalizations.

Ann

Outside of your 1st two paragraphs, what in the world are you talkin about? Now you got me NOT giving the other side of the world a fair chance??

>>I am attempting to destroy your proliferation of the true Christianity, <<

Yes you are... and... no you won't. :0)

(Mat 16:13-17 NIV) When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?"

They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"

Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.

>>I use my only weapon that is not harmful to my enemy in the mortal body, to make known the true Christ that is a part of every existence of life. I think you do battle using might and force. All I have is reason. <<

(Heb 4:12-13 NIV) For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Yes the Word of God is sharper than any two edged sword, it is clear.It is not MY might or force. It is God's. Many think that their "reasoning" and "intellect" has passed that of God and therefore render God's Word useless to them.
