David and Jesus - Priest, Prophet, and King
Luke_Wilbur replied to Luke_Wilbur's topic in Christianity
Those closest to Jesus lost hope that he would deliver his promise of rising up in 3 days. They did not even recognize their savior until he revealed to them all the signs revealed by the Prophets of His coming. They then knew Christ had conquered death. Luke 24 -

I agree that we all must be tolerant of individual beliefs and coexist in peace. The Evil One wants us to taunt and turn away from the truth of God's Holy Spirit. Matthew 4 Let us both pray for peace. Christians, Jews, and Muslims are brothers under God. If you have time read the Didache. I believe that you will find wisdom that does not conflict with your faith and understand the righteous Christian mind shortly after the Ascension of Christ. I understand that divinity of Christ we disagree on, but Allah's Spirit of Truth prevails in scripture. Love of (Allah, Adonai, God) and Love of your others (mother, father, husband, wife, brother, sister, relative, friend, and those you do not know) are things we all can all agree is truth.

It is a very difficult thing to have the right attitude on how to respond to a another person doing evil without falling into it ourselves.

I am not too much a facebook person after this whole NSA scandal. It might be wise to put a mechanical motor with a sensor on the end of the snorkel in case you lose control.

God be with you Ennin, I hope your Ramadan is going well. I believe that people of other faiths can learn a great deal about fasting and hygiene from Islam. I thank you for sharing that with us all. I did get to watch a little of the video before I left for church. Sunday is my holy day. From what I watched Sheikh Ahmed Deedat missed the whole point of Matthew 12. Jesus knew the Jewish Pharisees understood that true prophets should perform signs and great miracles. The sign of the Prophet Jonah coming out 'alive' from the belly of a fish signified one whom God had delivered from certain death. Jesus was saying that His deliverance from death in the grave, which would be similar to Jonah’s deliverance, only greater, and would prove His claims as truth that he was priest, prophet, and king glorified from the Father Almighty, Creator of the visible and invisible. Matthew 12 Jesus promised the wicked and adulterous a sign to know that his words are true. Matthew 16 John 15 Sheikh Ahmed Deedat states that "He [Jesus] was ever in hiding." I think Christians and Muslims can both agree that Christ is not a coward. In both of our beliefs a coward is a person who lacks faith in God. Both of our faiths know Jesus has full faith in God and feared no man. Sheikh Ahmed Deedat also does not take into account the Didache (The Teaching) which is considered to be the oldest record of Christianity. I have been exploring it for the past couple of months and find it a great way to understand early Christian beliefs. Imagine a world 500 years before Mohammed was conceived. What was once the Roman Empire that persecuted Christians evolved to the Christian Byzantine Empire. Most of the Jewish people had been dispersed from their homeland to the Arabian peninsula and North Africa. Many came to Babylon under the protection of the Sasanian Empire. It is that time period that the Jews created the Talmud. When Mohammed was born it had just been completed. I am sure just like the Bible it spread to Jewish communities everywhere. Many Jews believe that Mohammed was greatly influenced by it. I have read many passages and find it very interesting to see how scripture is deciphered. I think all students of monotheism should read the Didache, Talmud, and Hadith. What I focus mainly on is the similar tracts in all the beliefs. The question I ask people of faith is why is it hard to believe that Christ conquered death? Your faith believes that Jesus was the Messiah that was born by the power of God and then returned to God and will come again. Surely that alone would make him the greatest of all Prophets. You faith believes that Solomon could talk to and command the birds, and elementals and conquer the ants? Why is it so difficult to believe that Christ commands us to love each other and has conquered the evil one? Love does conquer ALL. Surat An-Naml (The Ant) I wish our faiths could bridge that one part. But, I still admire people of the Islamic faith. My father used to tell me that there are many to paths to Heaven. I believe that.

Right to Privacy vs. National Security
Luke_Wilbur replied to Luke_Wilbur's topic in United States Politics
People were jumping the gun on this article by the Atlantic Wire. Including me Turns out both victim, the Atlantic Wire, and the Guardian were wrong. It was the Computer company that spotted the keywords and tipped off the cops. Which in this world we live in is the right thing to do. This is an example why the American people need better transparency from government and corporations. Just like how research aircraft lead to alien abductions. If you believe those stories then you should visit the Mothman museum in West Virginia. They will gladly accept your donation. Contractors like Snowden and employees of our government like Manning have to face the law for what they have done. Even if it is wrong or right. Once you have quit working for the military , then things change and you may want to " tell your story " as many do. To me what Snowden did was enlightening. But, I am losing more respect that he is hiding -
At this moment your communications are a hot commodity to both government and commercial intelligence organizations. What and who you write to is worth money.

Ramadhaan is a good time to practice discipline oneself for God. I think it is the perfect opportunity to discuss the wisdom of what is written. In my belief we should show love and mercy at all times to those that do not share our faith. Rulers are people too, but we must peacefully protest are disagreements with their transgressions. Titus 3

A FISA court with only a judge and prosecutor and no defense to protect the Bill of Rights of the American people should not even be defined as a court. There are no guarantees in life. We all know for sure that death of the flesh comes for us all. What divides us is the path of the spirit to go beyond. Liberty and Morality share the same branch in the Tree of Life. Lyrics If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung, Would you hear my voice come thru the music, Would you hold it near as it were your own? It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken, Perhaps they're better left unsung. I don't know, don't really care Let there be songs to fill the air. Ripple in still water, When there is no pebble tossed, Nor wind to blow. Reach out your hand if your cup be empty, If your cup is full may it be again, Let it be known there is a fountain, That was not made by the hands of men. There is a road, no simple highway, Between the dawn and the dark of night, And if you go no one may follow, That path is for your steps alone. Ripple in still water, When there is no pebble tossed, Nor wind to blow. But if you fall you fall alone, If you should stand then who's to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home. La dee da da da, La da da da da, Da da da, Da da, Da da da da da La da da da, La da da, Da da, La da da da, La da, Da da. Proverbs 1

Unless Edward Snowden has something more to say, then I think it is time to be the martyr for freedom and come back to the United States. His argument would be more powerful with the American people knowing that he could choose to hide, but instead be a light for liberty. I think the way Congress on both sides of the aisle are handling these public hearings with dignity and looking out for the American people. But, there has to be a balance. It is not fair that there is no lawyer present in a secret court that does not protect the rights of the American people. At present there is only a judge and prosecution with no defense attorney. That means that if you or I get monitored there is nothing we can do to defend ourselves legally. That is just not American. We are the greatest country in the world. We cannot let fear destroy our greatness.
