Re: The cause of differences and quarrel among beliefs?

I sure hope I can articulate my answer a little bit better than previously! Mostly when I am online, it is the middle of the night and I am very tired and my mind is fuzzy!

ok. Well, christians believe that you have to be born again. That means that we are all born once of the flesh and then once we have knowledge of Christ we are accountable for that. A baby who doesn't have the chance to have knowledge is therefor exempt from this requirement. If they die before or after birth then then go straight to heaven to the arms of God.

Yes, holy men politicians and the like have all said we should work together. But this is also a biblical principal also. Why couln't it work? Because the very nature of man is selfish in many ways. Even god-fearing dedicated people may not act selfish but it is a daily battle to die to yourself. Not everyone cares about the rain forest. I try not to use to much paper and write on both sides. I recycle when I can. I don't eat very much meat but I am working on that. I wish I didn't like it. I have to gross myself out to not eat it! I use artificial trees for christmas and in the grocery line i prefer reusable plastic over paper because I DO care about the rainforest and the people who live there. I love this planet and it is difficult to watch suffering from a distance. So I give to people I know who are helping the hungry, the naked the imprisoned, the homeless. There are large organizations such as Benny Hinn who pay total support for orphanages and such. THere are also regular every day people from my church that go out on missions and I support them when I can. I am not wealthy and can hardly afford any of this but as the opprotunity presents itself, I use it.

I also must object to you saying that God never took human flesh. Jesus, Yeshua, was said to be 100% God and 100% man in that His bloodline and spirit came from God but he was born of a woman and took on flesh. YOu don't believe that and that is your choice.

So why do we quarrel and fuss and what are the causes of our differences? The stupid devil who has thrown us into confusion. He causes chaos and every other sin and has a good laugh at all of us trying to figure out who is right and who is not. It shouldn't be about WHO is right. It should be about WHAT is right. We have no tolerance for those who don't believe our way and it is reprehensible. It is disgusting.

All I know is that I have no fear of anything. Death, whatever! Don't care if I die but am looking forward to heaven. I have shared my views so I am content in that.
