You miss my point. If you challenge Christianity in the Christian forum there are yawns but no challenges. If you challenge other faiths in other forums what will happen?

I don't know....what do YOU think will happen....?
Besides, I wasn't aiming to challenge Christianity, per se....That wasn't my objective. My point was merely to illustrate what it feels like when the boot is on the other foot. But it wasn't intended to be a recrimination.

I think if you go challenging other religions in those forums there will be "weeping and gnashing of teeth" and then you will get booted. Don't get me wrong, I'm not offended by your challenge. I welcome it but I find nonchristians a lot less tolerant of challenges by Christians to their religious views.

I would hazard a guess that the reason for this, is that nonchristians were born into a religion, and may have been members of it, and then dicided to put it aside, so for Christians to try to convince them to re-join the path gets their backs up, because they abandoned it for reasons they felt were legitimate. Some Christians are extremely eager and enthusiastic in their "persuasive" arguments, and some may even refuse to take 'no' for an answer. It's not always the message. More often than not, it's the messenger.....

Perhaps, but Christians are obligated to try.

Greetings
Sincerity is not the christian ticket; truth is love Judaically speaking. If your tree has true fruit you will ahve alot of true fruit to feed your visiting family; if the fruit has no substance then they will go hungry.
A plate of untruth will not satisfy for long. Have u ever confused an empty plate with a full plate?
Mental confusion might brin such a vision but tueth sets us free from being decieved...yes?yes!
I know of many Catholic leaders who would graciously :ISTEN to your speech and yet not heed it; these leaders would pray for you and still count you a friend though perhaps one who has been hurt int he rush and politics of *religion* rather than loved,healed and accepted through the actions of *love*
God knows the heart of a peson; why every decision is made by each of us...even bad decisions. This does not mean He is supportive OF our bad decisions and forcing one card or the other; the freedom to reach out and grab the hand of the Creator God is afforded to every man ,woman,and child.
Redemption is an act of selfless love...the reaching out of God to restore whatis already His Creation.

Yes, God knows the heart of every person. And here is something that will blow your mind. In John 6:64 it says how Jesus knew from the beginning who would receive Him and the one who would betray Him. God has known since the dawn of time every thought and every intention of our hearts and minds before He even created us. Now, THAT'S a powerful God!.

Greetings! Actually the referene to God noing the end from the beginning is a direct reference to the Hebrew letter Zayin. It could be said how God Who is The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith did ot leave the story unfinished The letter definied infers a searching out through all ages beginning without end.

The letters refer to the symbolic meaning. Jesus says He is the Alpha and the Omega. A reference to the Greek alphabet. God means that He is the beginning of all things and the end of all things. He knows all things because He planned them all. Jesus said the very hairs on our heads are numbered.
