Dear Nouha, Thanks for your kind words. No, the Administration doesn't care about the positive possibilities because their minds are already made up, and they only see the darkness. How can you ask them where the sun is? We must thank God for democracy and work for positive leadership. best, marc

Peace Be Upon you

Thanks for your testimony Rabi Gopin, we hope peace and stability for Syria and Islamic world.
How you said right when you wrote this truth:" Neither the militants nor the extremists in America have faith that the people of this region can come together in respect and equality."
But American administration don't care about this wonderful experience!

Actually, Jesus is Who He said that He Is.

I have met God and God is a Trinity and God is a Being of Pure Love, He is not a loving God as in Love being an attribut of God but Love Is What God Is.

It is not about this religion or that religion, this spirituality or that spirituality but ultimately it is about how we treat each other since we are all brothers and sisters, the whole human race.

Some people that try to cram the bible down other people's throats seem to know nothing about God except for His Name.

Jesus taught Love, He did not teach religion, He did not teach spirituality, He did not teach politics, do you get my point?

It really does not matter what anyone believes, Truth is Truth whether someone believes it or not.

Some people that call themselves 'christian' very conveniently tear out page one, "Let Us make man in Our Image and Likeness", since God is Love then that "Image and Likeness" is Love and if Love shines thru that person, then God is shining thru and if not, then God is not shining thru, no matter what label that person puts upon themself.

God made everybody and everything and called it good, it doesn't matter if people believe this or not, it is true.

God also gave us free will, we are not robots or puppets on a string, even tho God knows what we are going to do, that does not interfere with our free will, it justs means that God is God and we are not.

Some people like to put God in a box, be it religious, spiritual or whatever, sometimes some need to drop their preconceived notions of God and from what I have read on different postings on the "On Faith" posting site, some of the people that know God's Name seem to know nothing else about God except for His Name.

It is important what you do and why you do it and what you know.

The True, Living, Triune, Triumphant God is a searcher of hearts and minds, not of religious affiliations or lack thereof.

God has a Plan and has had His Plan since before creation and His Plan is for ALL OF HUMANITY to be in His Kingsom [the new heavens and the new earth].

Some people seem to think that it is their job to run other people's lives rather then to live their own lives, we should try to help each other since we are all in this together, are we not?

We are responsible for our actions whether we take responsibility for them now or later.

I wish you well but remember: God wins, satan loses, a tie is unacceptable.

Take care, be ready, see you and the rest of humanity in the Kingdom.

Remember in Genesis, it said that on the seventh day, "God rested, blest and made Holy", well that day has not yet arrived but it will.

Sincerely, Thomas Paul Moses Baum.

We are looking for audio visual material for use at church sponsored discussion groups addressing means of encouraging cooperative efforts toward interfaith understanding and preventing rise of unwarranted conflict sometimes based on religious differences. Ideally this would be a very objective discussion on a 20 minute CD. Any suggestions?

dear marianne, i fully agree with you. I teach the Eastern wisdom in the context of my classes on reliigion and conflict resolution, i write about it in my books, and I have the Dalai Lama next to my bed all the time. It is more that the Abrahamic family has such a violent history that they need to reconcile for everyone's sake. my best, marc

Don't forget the Buddhists,Hindus and secularists out there, Rabbi; we're not all in the Abrahmic family. That being said, I can think of no higher calling than interfaith work that's really serious. May you be successful and stay safe.

Welcome to the conservative world, Geraldine!!! Freedom of speech is only resevered for liberal facists!! Freedom of speech is only for our COMMUNIST school system and COMMUNIst MEDIA!!
