In this article of mine, the believer will find incontestable historic-
archaeological support to his Faith, the undecided one will perhaps be
capable of making a decisive step forward to live the "Blessed Hope",
the atheist will get irritated at seeing his thought being based
absolutely on nothing.
In this site, there are links with other writings of mine, which have
had more than 100.000 readers all over the world.
Nowadays, we are living on the surface and on the loss of information.
Let us think of the Vinci's Code which, even among many other anti-
historical events being therein described, makes reference  to
documents being recognized as falsified from the authors themselves.
In spreading the Truth, we will honour Our Lord, we will help all the
people who are in need of consolation and hope, we will give our
contribution to fight against the darkness closed in upon us and
trying to steal our eternal destiny of life, to give us an equivalent
eternal destiny of death.
To everybody who will read this article, I wish a profitable reading,
with my best regards.

And if you need hard concrete historical and scientific evidence for God
existing, Christ being real, his ressurection, how we know there is
absolute truth,  how we know Heaven is real , etc... go to
www.impactapologetics.com  and order the very inexpensive large booklet
called :' The 12 Points that Prove Christianity' .  

If youre an atheist or agnostic, youve often said 'if there were proof
then id believe and follow God'....well,  here is your opportunity for
all the compelling evidence one could possibly ask for . Dont let your
pride stand in the way ;  the implications of denying The Creator and
his global plan of salvation has immense implications for you and your
eternity . Its not a manmade plan., its a God made plan. He is personal,
you are made in his likeness , and he desires for you to be reconciled
to him . You loose nothing by looking deeply into the evidence . But it
requires you to be an honest forthright Seeker . Regards.

REPLY: The BOOKLET  was $10 last time i checked.  If its scientific
evidence you want, then this Booklet has it.  In fact,  i have a few
extra copies and if youre truly an honest Seeker , email me and ill send
it to  you free of charge. Ill send it to whatever address you provide
so long as you will recieve it.  I used to be an agnostic , but a Seeker
also....and i found the information quite compelling. The other
excellent source this site has, is ' I Dont Have Enough Faith to be an
Atheist' book  which fairly examines the extreme faith an
Atheist/Materialist/Macro-Evolutionist must have to believe in what he
does.

The information is out there ; its just a matter of if you really truly
want it.

Yes, i was correct ;  the Booklet (also termed as 'notes' in the site,
goes for $10. This is a full size booklet having approx. 45 pages of the
historical and scientific evidences so one can believe and follow our

They won't listen. Their minds (if you can call them that) are closed.
Actually, it's quite like poetic justice how they will, every last one
of them, eventually meet their maker and they will understand the folly
of their ways and be horrified and grief-stricken and but it will be too
late. They will have all eternity burning in hellfire to rue the day
they were so arrogant and blasphemous by tossing aside Jesus'
freely-offered salvation.

I look at it as God's way of affirming the Darwin Awards. He works in
mysterious ways.

Only Radical Moslems and Radical Christians believe that their way is
the only way and everyone else deserves death and damnation.

Most rational people feel that as long as a person is decent and cares
for their fellow human being and the planet our creator gave us to live
on, then it's okay for them to believe in what ever it is that they
believe in.

No one has the right to condemn a fellow human being based up their
beliefs or lack of beliefs.

But, Jesus made it perfectly clear that the only way to the Father was
through Him. Human beings have free will. Those innocents who never
learned of Jesus may get a break but those who know of Jesus and reject
him will be shown no mercy. You say no one has the right to condemn. You
are wrong. Jesus clearly has that right. It was given to Him by the
Father whom we call Lord. Jesus also said good works alone will not earn
you a place in Heaven. Best you believe Him.

Jesus also taught it was a Christian's duty to attempt to educate  other
people. This is why I write about Him here. It's part of my duty as a
Christian. But Jesus also said don't waste too much time on unbelievers.
So if you're an unbeliever with a mind made up, I will refrain from
bothering you any more about this subject. But, maybe a lurker might
have his feet turned just a wee bit toward the right path by my efforts
so they are perhaps not entirely wasted. Peace.

Most rational people? Only radicals?
If you believe in God he wrote the rules. If you don't believe in God
then whatever rules you or anyone think reasonable by your standards  is
ok from God's standpoint?
I'm sure radicals of every persuasion feel deeply.
I believe in God. I know he is real. I will follow him to the best of my
ability.  I don't feel radical for following God.

REPLY: Janet,   We ALL deserve damnation for our many many sins against
a very holy Creator . I shutter to think of the times ive : Used Gods
name in vain, swore, cheated, looked down upon minorities, reduced a
woman to sexual objects,  lied, been deceitful, deceptive, unloving,
utterly self centered, and more ;   the condition of mans heart is
anything but holy and righteous.  If Gods ONLY plan of Salvation was to
send Christ into the world  to bring us back to God and save us from our
sins, then, that is the only way .  If there was another way, then
Christ died for nothing.   ITs a very important issue and I hope  you
will give it some considerable attention .  Its not 'radical'  to agree
with Gods global plan of saving the human race based on the historic and
sceintific evidence .  ANd its not a matter of people who cannot accept
it., its a matter of they dont want to nor even look into the
credibility of The Christian Faith.  Regards.

YOU, Dimwit, deserve damnation for being a gullible fuckwadd hypocrite,
proven liar, pervert, self-confessed lawbreaker and psychotic with a

YOU should be cancelled for attempting to lead the intellectually-challenged
into subservience of George Bush under the label of the "ultimate faith";
which at the end of the day is a pack of lies aimed at decieving the masses
of unintellectual AmeriKKKans into political subservience.

Fortunately George Bush is yesterday's idiot and has failed in his ultimate
deception. You are no more than a woefully-educated protoge of a hasbeen
imbesile who is incapable of accepting defeat due to your
many-times-manifested social and mental problems.

How do you know that god is a "he?"  Doesn't the female give birth?

God is actually created in man's image.  I mean, have you ever seen a
self-portrait of god?

Now there's a statement that could use a good proof.  I was raised in a
household in which religion was alleged to be important, but in which
actions were contrary to the "teachings."  I learned much of what I know
about Christianity in that environment; a valuable but unrewarding
experience.  And who said I am an Atheist?  The same people that said
that Christians have all the answers?

No.  And when both of us die, neither of us will know if we were
correct.  I'm still looking for that self-portrait.  Does it look like
you?  (See first line of quote).

Haggling about religion is bullshit, getting us nowhere.  What I don't
understand is why both Christians and Muslims feel that it is
appropriate for them to try to impose on the world, through coercion,
solicitation, or force, their view of the appropriate world order.

In other words, believe what you wish, but leave the rest of us alone!

Sorry, but you seem to be misinformed. In the Bible it states that God
created man in his own image. That means men look like God looks. If God
looked like a woman than men would look like women look. The first man
God created was Adam. After creating Adam God looked at the situation
and concluded it's not good for Adam to live alone. So God created Eve.
Eve's purpose for existing was in her role as "helpmate." In other words
women were put on earth to be helpmates and companions. Women were and
are a second-thought creation. Far too many modern-day women seem to
have forgotten their rightful place. Women stand at the right hand of
man. Jesus stands at the right hand of God. It's that type of
relationship intended.

The female does, indeed, give birth. But that has nothing to do with
looking like God. Giving birth is a women's role of helpmate. God made
it painful for women to give birth as punishment after Eve sinned and
corrupted the human race by listening to the serpent and eating of the
fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

As for seeing a self-portrait of God all a man has to do is look in the
mirror. God created men in his own image. So when men look at their
image they are looking at God. It's pretty obvious, isn't it? Of, course
there are some minor differences such as color, size, etc. but the
overall layout of men is the same the world over.

created he him; male and female created he them."

REPLY:  Well, not exactly Harry.  God is spirit dont forget and a non
coporial being. When the Bible says we are made in the image of God, it
is not referring to physical traits, but rather ,  our emotional makeup
such as our personhood/personality/emotions/feelings, etc..

'As for seeing a self-portrait of God all a man has to do is look in the
mirror.'

REPLY:  God is not a finite Being ; he is infinite which is what allows
him to be omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. Looking at our
physical structure does not give a depiction of what God 'looks like' .

I disagree with you on this.

Jesus is God. Do you agree?

Jesus looked just like a man, did he not?

Sure, God is part spirit. God is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
all rolled up in to one. But in his physical form (Jesus) he is and
looks like a man. This proves that God is NOT a woman as some like to
fantasize or Jesus would have looked like a woman.

I hope this helps and God Bless you.

Say, now, when did Jesus get promoted?  I always heard that he was
alleged to be the son of god.  So how can the son also be the father?

You must be Catholic.

REPLY:

1. Jesus never got or needed a promotion.
2. He was always God .
3. He was and is the Son of God, the 2nd person of the Trinity .
4. The Son cannot also be the father and i never asserted The Son was.
Each person of the Trinity is a distinct personality yet fully God. Just
like water can be liquid, vapor, or ice ; they are all still the same
substance.

REPLY:  No, im not catholic. Im a Follower and Believer of Jesus Christ
without any labels.  Catholicism by the way, differs from the Bible on
many many  major points as the following online book clearly indicates

As a statement of faith, this is an interesting post, illustrating the
controversy that might arise between two equally faithful factions as to
to which one maintains the "correct" interpretation of scripture.  Of
course, there are those sects that maintain scripture is not
"interpreted," but rather is read and understood literally.  Been to a
Kingdom Hall recently?  Had any ham or crab lately?  How about one's
feeling about the death penalty (used only in the US, China, Uganda [I
think], and several other countries of equal moral discrepancy).

Everybody believes what is convenient for him to believe.  And everybody
will rationalize those beliefs.  Why not just ask the Pope?  Surely he
must have the answers.

This entire effort is an obvious troll. If Christianity is a
legitimate religion, why would Dave reduce it to a level generally
associated with a sleazy used-car salesman?? Dave's concept of this
religion includes:

1.  Dave spamming his religion in a Newsgroup designated soley for
RVers; not for religion! i.e. a total disregard for socially accepted
practices and ethics;

2. $pamming on behalf of any religion-for-$$$-website, is absolutely
unacceptable in ANY RV Newsgroup; and certainly not an idea that's
going to appeal to any other than the most gullible;

3. In speaking of Christ's "ressurection", the most awesome claim of
your religion; would it be too much to ask that you possess the
education and intelligence to at least spell the word correctly ??!!

REPLY:  I didnt start the thread ;  I only contributed to what the OP
mentioned.  Its not 'a sleazy act' to discuss an off topic subject
especially one as important as our eternal destiny and i dont get a

concerned for where people finally end up.   Im a little surprised that
you are so hostile to the very foundation that our Country was based on
as all of our Founding Fathers as well as the Modern Founders of the
Sciences were devoted believers of a Theistic God .

Like Harry said, if you want to remain a committed unbeliever instead of
a Seeker, then I'll disengage my dialogue with you.
