There are many ways to interpret the Bible
Christianity did not appear until about 1100AD

My statements have been called bogus, and my relationship with Christ questioned, all because I presented facts that are documented and undisputable from a not so distant history.
I do not profess to know more than anyone else here but these are the facts, and no, they don't come from the bible. I suggest a little light reading, educate yourself with more than CNN.

And YES there are several divisions of Christianity, LDS, Baptists, Presbyterians, Catholics, Methodists, Pentecostal.
I don’t go around telling people they should believe or act as Christ wants them to. [/B]
Not directed at anyone, but: If your going to talk the talk, walk the walk. Don’t throw out knowledge of scripture to persuade others that you are a better Christian. That in itself is hypocritical. [/B]

I'm not sure why we perceive an imminent war with Iraq as Christian vs. Muslim. As Americans one of our Four Freedoms is Freedom of Religion. Whether we are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Atheist or whatever we need to stand united against Iraq.

Corey - You missed my point. What I was trying to say is that if a country, or even an entire religion, considers America it's enemy, then it considers all Americans their enemy with no regard to race, creed, color, religion, etc., etc.
Now if Americans are sypathetic to those who consider America it's enemy then they should get the hell out of America!

Corey, I'm not sure why you would take anything I posted personal unless you are not whom you represent yourself to be, and I’m sure you have a big heart. My statements were made in regards to past and present history, I never even referred to any content of the Bible and the fact that there are denominations of Christianity is of fact, plain and simple these "divisions" exist.
Please do spread the gospel, I commend you, I’ll keep the teaching within my own family.
And as to your last quote of me, as I said it was not directed at anyone but formulated on past experiences of witnessing just such hypocrisy.
God bless.

I believe the Bible is a collection of short stories, some fact, some fiction. The bible wasn't written in English, and has been passed down through various organized religions. I would suggest that it has been altered and interpreted to suit the agenda of those churches, but that's only an opinion.
