In a media-driven world, we are tempted to focus on the charismatic and popular, but in the long run the leader who empowers others may be the best. But ultimately Christians have to remember that we are saved by Jesus Christ not by any human leader.

Let me help you out a little in your hour of desperation. You could try praying to one of those cheap imported Italian Gods but I wouldn't suggest that -hasn't worked yet -law of averages high in it's favor but the odds remain the same.
Mormons are trustworthy with mafia money -run all the big casinos in LV. Therefore we can expect Romney to be honest to a fault. That would certainly be a change in DC, (culture of [religious based] corruption) wouldn't it?
If Rove decides to support Romney he'll make McCain look like a draft dodger. It's easy to make it look like McCain spent the war at Canadian ski resorts and not even in Viet Nam. He was on an aircraft carrier so his contention that he was in Viet Nam is a technical detail lie. He probably visited Canada some time and if not that can be faked. Bring on the Swift Boat Veterans. Jozevz is desperate.

send a check or money order?? the IRS makes mistakes, chek again, hack ss#, dob……evil, evil, evil works. Peace asked?? For what evil?? mistrust, envies, rivalry, indignation, strife, seditions, heresies, hatred, backbiting, backstabbing, mocking, name calling, evil, evil, works done. no peace for those who devise wicked against the innocent. respect desired?? for wicked schemes?? the glorious Lord laughs in the face of those who devise wicked schemes, hahaha, no man receives respect for evil works.
Proverbs 6:16-19 {16} “These six things doth the Lord hate, yea, seven are an abomination unto him: {17} A proud look, a lying tongue, and hand that shed innocent blood, {18} An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, {19} A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among the brethren.”
peace asked?? looked for evil, bck/grd Ö nil, not to put away, obedience is better then sacrifice, asked for peace?? for what evil works?? info. on app. how knows?? hacked electronic device, invaded privacy, personal info gone, federal offense, felony. no skills set?? will train bck/grd fits, jealousy…….evil, evil, evil works,
Psalm 27:1-3, {1} The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? {2} When the wicked, even mine enmies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh , they stumbled and fell. {3} Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear, though war should rise against me in this will I be confident.
no one can save, not friends, money, prestige, friends justify wrongs. what is done in secrete back room hacking sick entertainment, is known by the almighty God.
Matthew 6:5-6, {5} “And when thou pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. {6} But thou when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou has shut the door, pray to thy Father which is in secrete, and thy Father which seeth in secrete will reward you openly.”

Kerusso:
Worried about all the division? Can't explain why God allows it? Finding it difficult to say everyone of "faith" shall enter into the kingdom of God? Is that what's bugging you?
Rejoice. http://www.hoax-buster.org/sellyoursoul solves all your problems. That was not God in the burning bush. Moses made his deal with, put his faith in the supernatural being honored as God by all three great faiths. IT is the biggest Devil of them all, Lucifer by name.
Division? Lucifer divides and conquers.
God allows it? But of course. God allowed Lucifer to be pretend God just like all three great faiths worship pretend God. But then God put the hammer down and the lot were cast into a sea of fire, the fire that burns but does not consume.
All faiths are equal. God can hardly be expected to let any one of faith off. Faith in Devil is faith in Devil. It's hell for the lot.
Not so? Look about you. Where did all this chaos come from? There must be a Devil.
Support Lucifer for king of hell. There may be something in it for you -some spots are hotter than others so I hear.
As you ponder what the Bible really says take time out to remember the millions of native Americans murdered by the Conquistadors for the gold now held by the churches. The Vatican has a few tons and there's a solid gold altar in Spain just to mention a couple. Lucifer just loves it.
The soul you're losing faithing the Bible is God's word is your own. Not to worry. You can join Lucifer's army and attack heaven again. Lucifer almost won last try. They say there's a fire extinguisher in heaven. Like Fr Reese has been heard to say, "let us pray."

Kerusso
AMEN!!!!! Its great to hear a comment like this once in a while. It seems as though these forums are run by postmodern/atheistic/agnostic/Jesus haters, and it was definitely an encouragement to read your comment. Don't worry about CCNL. I think he is a computer somewhere who writes the same unsupported, unfactual, bigoted "facts" in almost every post. Its like he has nothing better to do. He has all of his commetns copied and saved in a directory somewhere, and pastes them in almost every forum. Quite hilarious. If you look closely, he has no absolute facts to support any of him claims. He hates Muslims, and if faced with one, he'd probably shoot him/her. He scares me. I think he would have been better off if he was not "liberated." God bless you Kerusso, and yes, you too CCNL....Spread the faith!!!!

The Prophet and the Archbishop were good and gracious men but were they leaders? Leaders educate and both failed in that regard. We "pew sitters" should not need to search for contemporary historic reviews of our religions. This information should appear in our Sunday bulletins, posted on our bulletin boards and discussed from the pulpits.
This is what should have been presented but was not and is not being promulgated as required by our religious leadership:
A synopsis of the flaws in the founders and foundations of the major religions (for those that have not seen them before or did not take the time to look):
1. Abraham founder/father of three major religions was probably a mythical character as was Moses, the "Tablet-Man" who talked to burning bushes and made much magic in Egypt.
1.5 million Conservative Jews and their rabbis have relegated Abraham to the myth pile along with most if not all the OT.
http://www.simpletoremember.com/vitals/ConservativeTorah.htm
2. Jesus, the illiterate Jewish peasant/carpenter possibly suffering from hallucinations, has been characterized anywhere from the Messiah from Nazareth to a mythical character from mythical Nazareth to a mamzer from Nazareth (Professor Bruce Chilton, in his book Rabbi Jesus). Analyses of Jesus’ life by many contemporary NT scholars (e.g. Professors Crossan, Borg and Fredriksen, On Faith panelists) via the NT and related documents have concluded that only about 30% of Jesus' sayings and ways noted in the NT were authentic. The rest being embellishments (e.g. miracles)/hallucinations made/had by the NT authors to impress various Christian, Jewish and Pagan sects.
The 30% of the NT that is "authentic Jesus" like everything in life was borrowed/plagiarized and/or improved from those who came before. In Jesus' case, it was the ways and sayings of the Babylonians, Greeks, Persians, Egyptians, Hittites, Canaanites, OT, John the Baptizer and possibly the ways and sayings of traveling Greek Cynics. http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/theories.html
For added "pizzazz", Catholic/Christian theologians divided god the singularity into three persons and invented atonement as an added guilt trip for the "pew people" to go along with this trinity of overseers. By doing so, they made god the padre into god the "filicider".
3. Mohammed was an illiterate, womanizing, lust and greed-driven,warmongering, hallucinating Arab, who also had embellishing/hallucinating/plagiarizing scribal biographers who not only added "angels"/"pretty thingies" and flying chariots to the koran but also a militaristic agenda to support the plundering and looting of the lands of non-believers.
This agenda continues as shown by the assassination of Bhutto, the conduct of the seven Muslim doctors in the UK, the 9/11 terrorists, the 24/7 Sunni suicide/roadside/market/mosque bombers, the 24/7 Shiite suicide/roadside/market/mosque bombers, the Islamic bombers of the trains in the UK and Spain, the Bali crazies, the Kenya crazies, the Pakistani “koranics”, the Palestine suicide bombers/rocketeers, the Lebanese nutcases, the Taliban nut jobs, and the Filipino “koranics”.
And who funds these acts of terror? The warmongering, Islamic, Shiite terror and torture theocracy of Iran aka the Third Axis of Evil and also the Sunni "Wannabees" of Saudi Arabia.
4. Luther, Calvin, Joe Smith, Henry VIII, Wesley et al, founders of Christian-based religions, also suffered from the belief in/hallucinations of "pretty wingy talking flying fictional thingie" visits and "prophecies" for profits analogous to the myths of Catholicism (resurrections, apparitions, ascensions and immaculate conceptions).
5. Hinduism (from an online Hindu site) - "Hinduism cannot be described as an organized religion. It is not founded by any individual. Hinduism is God centered and therefore one can call Hinduism as founded by God, because the answer to the question ‘Who is behind the eternal principles and who makes them work?’ will have to be ‘Cosmic power, Divine power, God’."
The caste/laborer system and cow worship are problems when saying a fair and rational God founded Hinduism."
6. Buddhism- "Buddhism began in India about 500 years before the birth of Christ. The people living at that time had become disillusioned with certain beliefs of Hinduism including the caste system, which had grown extremely complex. The number of outcasts (those who did not belong to any particular caste) was continuing to grow."
"However, in Buddhism, like so many other religions, fanciful stories arose concerning events in the life of the founder, Siddhartha Gautama (fifth century B.C.):"
Archaeological discoveries have proved, beyond a doubt, his historical character, but apart from the legends we know very little about the circumstances of his life. e.g. Buddha by one legend was supposedly talking when he came out of his mother's womb.
Bottom line: There are many good ways of living but be aware of the hallucinations, embellishments, lies and myths surrounding the founders and foundations of said rules of life.

Perhaps what bothers me the most about On-Faith’s choice in “Christians” is the complete and utter lack of reference to the Bible.
I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. For it has been reported to me by Chloe’s people that there is quarreling among you, my brothers. What I mean is that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," or "I follow Apollos," or "I follow Cephas," or "I follow Christ." Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? – 1 Corinthians 1:10-13
There is one head of the church, and one mediator between God and men, the man, Jesus Christ. Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
God has not once again called prophets among us, not in the mixed up and crazy way the Mormon Church claims. The Mormon Church is as far from Christianity as the East is from the West. Any prophet who denies the eternal divinity of Christ is a false prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley being foremost of these. The entire New Testament can be used to discredit this new and strange religion, which is only a latecomer in the arena of works righteous, Gnostic religions.
The prophets that Paul speaks of in his letters to the Corinthians are not prophesying about the future, but leading men to the foot of a blood-stained cross. Where-as the prophets of old pointed forward to Christ, the prophets of today, better known as preachers, point backwards to Christ. In all things, Christ is at the center of a true prophet’s preaching.
Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, went to the cross to pay for the sins of the world. Among these was the gross sin of idolatry, of adhering to the original lie, that men may become as gods. It caused the fall and the banishment from paradise 6,600 years ago, and it continues to reign as the greatest lie which permeates society today. Buddhism believes it, Mormonism believes it, Evolutionism believes it. God is God, and has always been, and you are not, nor will you ever be. Continuing to love the lie of the serpent will ensure your eternal damnation, because you know that no idolater has any inheritance of the kingdom of Christ or of God. Instead of being a child of God, your love affair with the serpent makes you a child of the devil, because he is a liar, and the father of lies. If you’ve ever told a lie, God sees you as a liar, and all liars will have their place in the Lake of Fire, because lying lips are an abomination to the Lord.
Consider if I buy you a nice car, say a Chevy Silverado 2500 Powermax Diesel…or instead a car you might like, dressed out completely in all the options. $55,000 and I give it to you. You say, “gee, thanks, here is eighty cents for it.” Your offer is so small that it is an insult. Similarly, God offers eternal salvation and by thinking you can earn it is the greatest insult. Baptism, good works, repentance, loving your fellow man. How could you expect any of these to pay your way? You’ve broken the law and you’re trying to bribe the Judge, and you will be sentenced to Hell for your transgression.
Instead, go to God in godly sorrow, and he, and he alone, will grant you repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth. You cannot repent on your own, but God will grant you repentance if you’ll fall on your face in humility and submission. Then place your full trust in Jesus Christ to save you, not some membership in some johnny-come-lately religion, but the eternal Son of God who gave himself for the remission of sins.
When you do this, you will experience rebirth into the family of God. Your sins will be washed away and Christ’s righteousness attributed to your sake, then you can see Heaven when you die, not because you’re a good person or have picked the right church or person to follow, but because your sins are forgiven by a good God who paid your fine, that is Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. Amen.
