"Now He is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to Him" (Luke 20, 38)

Look around you storms. Christians are the movers and shakers in this world.

Last years I see more it are Muslims shaking the world.

Most of the charity given to the oppressed and needy in this world are by Christian organizations. Most of the hospitals and orphanages are additionally funded by Christian organizations.

In EUrope, all are run by governement.

More wells were dug in Africa by Chriatians that any other group including their own governments. Care, Goodwill, Salvation Army, Doctors without borders, Children of the night, and thousands of other groups that make an impact for good on this planet are all Christian organizations.

DWB (medecins sans frontiers)? I thought it was a socialist org. CON? Aren't that vampires?
The others I don't know either except SA, from American movies.

The largest addiction recovery network world wide is Christian based.

World wide? Sorry, addiction programs in Europe are done by therapists, mostly Atheists.

Who is finding homes for the poor children of the FSU? Christian adoption agencies. The church shows it's love by ACTION, not talk.

I heard stories about child trade.

And I could go on and on.....

Me too.

When an earthquake rocks Mexico city, or some other disaster such as that, look and see who arrives on the scene to help. You won't find an Islamic organization, nor scores of Buddhist monks digging through the rubble. It's the Christians! It's the church!

Sorry, it are disaster orgs paid by our tax money.

Not denominations, but those who belong to the kingdom of the living and true God and his saviour Jesus!

Forget the bickering. The glass is half full, not half empty! And the church is the only true light and salt on this planet.

I think your glass is empty.

May your creator reveal himself to you storms. And may you see that you were created with a plan and a puropse to fulfill.

Yes, to pay taxes.

Well Rain you are in right, there are some "versions" like King James or some like it.But,however, the Orthodox and Roman Chatolic Churchs of Christ with they's dogmas, rules and teaching have been the same for 20 centuries and will remain the same until the second Coming of Christ and the rising of the dead. Our Holy Church is defined by the word of Christ, the lows of God and the Holy Teaching.
There are many "modernized" organizations who dare to call themselfs "churches" exist world wide.
But everybody knows who were, is and will be adherent to the true words of God until the end of the world and of time!
And Islam has sects too. I hope that you, members of Islam, know who have real words of Alah!
With respect JelenaSerbia

If CC and OC are the same, why don't they have the same names? WHy are their rituals different?
20 centuries is a little exagerated, Christ was born about 2000 years ago and Chritianism only apeared after his dead. Then there were many sects till CC prevailed and imposed it's own views. OC was considered as a blasphemy.

Rikbe, you're deluded. If you think that any European government spends more money for disaster relief than Christian organizations you are dead wrong!

If you think that therapists in Europe deal with more addicts and alcoholics than AA and NA, you are again dead wrong. The Bible is the number one selling book in Europe. Number two: The Big Book from AA.

You have already said that Christianity is dead in Europe, and you were dead wrong about that. You've talked about how great pornography is, and that is doesn't have any detrimental effects of marital relationships, and you were dead wrong about that.

And now you say that Christian charities who adopt the lost and forgotten babies that YOU EUROPEANS throw out on the streets are "child traffickers". You are one messed up individual dude. Let me send you pictures of the Romanian street kids, or the homeless children in France. How enlightened you Europeans are. More child pornography comes out of Europe than any other place on earth. There are escort agencies in Riga, Latvia where a "john" can order an 11 year old prostitute. And tell me about the enlightened European man who was busted in London recently for trafficking in Eastern European teens. He was another of you "enlightened Europeans". We are part of the solution. You "enlightened ones" are part of the problem.

You can put your head back in the sand now.

Yes, there are also organisations that collect money but they have nothing to do with CHristianism.

I remeber one social worker being active in AA and she was Atheist.

I did not say that porn was great. Only that it has not so much succes in W Europe.
Effect on marital relationships? Prove it. I don't see why a healthy relation could suffer of it.

I was talking aboutt W Europea. Most trafficers that are cought here are from Romania and ALbania.
From what I hear is it big bussiness in the USA as there are more and more couples that can not have children.

If you say that people trow their kids on the street, how can you say that CHristianism is spreading?

Hello miss young religionist

Merry Christmas. May it bring you peace of mind, tolerance and the wisdom you need so much.

I always liked mythological stories and legends. You know: werewolves, goblins, elf's, gods and their love affairs, splitting seas and talking animals. I just never believed in it.
