We will have to disagree there, I do belive they were chosen to bring jesus in to the world, ive read nothing in the bible(non scofield) that would lead me to belive they are worth more to god then other people after that.
I have not seen any Mary worship from either of them. That seems to be a common misconception by protestants.
I wouldn't say they're worth any more to God, but many prophecies in Nehemiah and Revelations flat-out say the Jews still have a role to play in future events. I dunno; the praying to Mary, the legend of her assumption, it's a bit dodgy to me. It's one of the very few things about Catholic dogma I mislike. Let's re-phrase: Does the EO honor Mary to the same extent that the RCC does?
Ive never seen praying to Mary either. Talking to yes, praying no. I dont know about orthodox, I would assume they feel the same way about Mary.
It seems almost laughable to consider that the UN would be, COULD be openly and actively against any member nation. But, when you know the country being singled out for this kind of treatment is Israel, you sorta figure, "it figures!" http://www.unwatch.org/site/c.bdKKISNqEmG/b.1359197/k.6748/UN_Israel__AntiSemitism.htm
Yes. I'll bet you can't show me a war, post WWII, where the US was attacked first. You can't because there isn't one.
Just a brief post to say that having had a post deleted for flamebait on this thread I have decided to leave the forum. If expressing extremist views is not considered designed or intended to elicit emotionally charged responses then neither should referring to them. I cannot participate on a forum which offers protection to those holding immoral viewpoints and which has resulted in this site being a sanctuary and breeding ground for extremist hate. I hope the few reasonable posters following my posts will understand my decision.
That wasn't the post wherein you suggested that a member justified seeing babies have their throats slit, was it ? Maybe that was a different thread. Anyway, over-reaction seldom has the desired effect. With regard to this latest embassy attack, the previous one having killed the US ambassador to Libya, I can only guess that the cost of reviewing and strengthening the security of embassies around the world will run into billions of dollars. Then there will be billions more spent on surveillance and preemption operations, including extra-judicial assassinations, most of which will only serve to antagonise more countries and recruit more attackers. There really has to be a better way.
Ah. Mr Lansky. Glad you reminded me. In 1971(or thereabouts), a man named Hank Messick published the book 'Lansky' - a biography of the above named. The following subtitle appears on the cover. 'Jews control crime in the United States'. As soon as the ADL get wind of this, they contact the publishers. As a result, the cover is reprinted. 'The Mob runs America and Lansky runs the mob'. - - - Updated - - - Okay then. Good luck for the future.
I wonder what muslim state is going to be sodomized next for this bomb attack? The West has taken a crap on Libya, Syria, Mali and Egypt. Who is next?
invade the blasted turks already. barbarians.. what is it with these people, can't they respect embassies? it's not even worth having any contect with these people, just ignore them..
Allegedly failing to abide by a UN resolution was the official justification that US/UK used to invade Iraq and overthrow its government. So some people must think it's pretty bad. Of course, in a world full of double standards, it's only wrong when the bad guys do it. (of course we know that's not the REAL reason for the war, though)
LOL really.. Who'd have thought that parties to a treaty would object to a signatory of that treaty blatantly and consistently violating the terms of that treaty! I can't believe you're trying to play the victim card for Israel.
Not legitimize. Only explain the motive. By killing themselves any anybody else around them? Good luck with that. Why do so many people who use the term "global Islamic caliphate" have no idea what they're talking about? Ahh yes, because the Quran says to attack America... Nope. Actually Quran says to follow the laws of the land you live in, unless it prevents you from practicing Islam. Meanwhile, the US foreign policy which has taken the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent Muslims must really be pissing people off. If by surrender you mean stop meddling in the region, well you picked a interesting word to describe that.
Do you actually know what Jihad is? "Moderate Muslim" is a bull(*)(*)(*)(*) term which legitimizes the extremists. There are no moderate Muslims. There are Muslims, and then there are extremists/fundies. Let's see... Islam forbids suicide. Strike one. Islam forbids killing innocent people. Strike two. Islam forbids killing women, children, and the elderly. Strike three. Islam permits war in self defence. With those 3 preconditions included. Also included, the response of self-defense mustn't exceed the severity of the act of aggression. And once the aggressors desist, Muslims must also desist. Every Muslim is involved in Jihad throughout their life. I love this, so helpful: http://myjihad.org
You're entitled to yr opinion - for what its worth, resorting to childish name-calling says more about you than me. Re TrueTorahJews - Go read Jack's post #45. Tata...
Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs... Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home - Gandhi But we know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians - Mandela It would be my greatest sadness to see Zionists (Jews) do to Palestinian Arabs much of what Nazis did to Jews. - Einstein
(Reuters) - A Turkish leftist group claimed responsibility on Saturday for a suicide bomb attack on the U.S. embassy and accused Washington of using Turkey as its "slave", according to a statement posted on the internet. The Revolutionary People's Liberation Army-Front (DHKP-C) said it carried out Friday's attack, in which a suicide bomber detonated explosives strapped to his body at the embassy in Ankara, killing himself and a Turkish security guard. Ankara says the DHKP-C has killed dozens of police officers and soldiers along with more than 80 civilians since it was formed in 1978. The banned group wants to replace the Turkish government with a Marxist one. It also opposes what it calls US imperialism and has several times targeted US military personnel and diplomatic missions. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/02/us-turkey-usa-bomb-claim-idUSBRE91107R20130202
US IMPERIALISM??? What country has the US conquered and kept since the 19th Century? And to my Muslim friends and their supporters, seeing as this Turkish bombing isn't an act of Jihad, we will meet again to discuss the threat of Islam to non-Muslims in other threads.
