Cloning: Is The Human Being Unique?
I am not discussing here whether cloning is evil. [I think it is a dangerous attempt to play God]. What I want to say here is that also cloned humans are unique like anybody else. We are not material machines without a ghost. God gave us the breath of life. Also it says in the Holy Bible that God is forming (present participle) our spirits within us (Zech. 12.1). {For the theologians among us: the human being is born neither in accordance with an Aristotelian Thomistic 'creationism' ...

These Days...
Days ahead… Terry Dashner….Faith Fellowship Church PO Box 1586 Broken Arrow, OK 74013 A hunting accident in 1858 blinded a young Englishman, leaving him depressed and despondent. Letters from friends did not help much, for they mostly urged him to be resigned to the will of Providence. But one letter was different. It came from a former tutor of the 25-year-old man and said, "It will be your own fault if this trouble does not bring with it some alleviation. The evil that has fallen ...
The Absurd Bhagavad Gita
Bhagavad Gita, the holy book of Hinduism, is absurd as it is full of great many flaws. Some of them are stated and described below. 1. The baseless / unreasonable conception of self- Ref to Ch 13 Text 33: There is considered to be Soul which feels something. However, there does not need to be a separate entity that feels. Feeling of pain, for example, is itself sufficient for its existence. When I think I am feeling pain, this thinking itself is actually realised in the form of some ...
Your Identity In Christ Will Set You Free!
In order to be spiritually healthy, you need to realize what your identity is in Christ. Your identity in Christ is simply who you become once you receive Christ as your Savior. Before salvation, a person's identity is largely a product of their upbringing…whether nice or mean, happy or sad, positive or negative. Before salvation, many people think of their identity as what they do for a living, who they are married to, what kind of family they came from. Some even ...
No Heaven For Harry
I was wondering where God is in the Harry Potter books. Don't get me wrong. I've read them all and I plan on reading the next one when I can get my hands on it - all seven thousand pages, or whatever monster volume J.K. Rowlings comes out with, because nobody edits her anymore. (I'm not such a huge fan, but I find these books pleasantly diverting enough so that I read each one all the way through). But as to my question, after reading all of these books I was just struck by ...
Faith Under Fire!
If God's Church refuses to stand up and speak out and quit cowering behind the pulpit and only preaching to a converted audience (shamefully few others know about us) - turning this world right side up with our God-given talents, means and message - we'll suffer the same destruction decreed upon our unrepentant peoples. As this link proves, time is fast running out. The Scripture also says "the ...
Paying Respects To Meir Kahane
Considering the anniversaries of the murders of Prime Minister Rabin and Israeli Parliament Member and rabbi Meir Kahane are fast approaching, this letter sent to Jewish friends in America during my sojourn in Israel during that tragic time reveals on the scene details about the dark shadow that continues to haunt the Holy Land today: Mon., Nov. 13, '95 Shalom from Jerusalem! May this find you well - all ...
Islam Is Not The Problem
Islam is not the problem Many people on religious paths are lousy advertisements for God. I'm sure that if there were some divine psychometric or behavioural screening mechanism in place, many wouldn't be permitted to be card-carrying representatives of their particular faith. A cautionary adage urges: "Don't judge the path by the people on it." In the case of Islam, it's particularly important to avoid doing so. The fact that there are, I understand, more than a billion ...
ISLAM and CHRISTIANITY, A View Through Arguments
Hi! (Salaam to You: Peace be Upon you) What a great greeting Muslims possess that whenever they meet one another, they greet peace and comfort to others.
Mopping Floors...
Mopping floors… Terry Dashner………Faith Fellowship Church PO Box 1586 Broken Arrow, OK 74013 To see ourselves as we are is difficult. People have their picture taken by a good photographer, then look at the proofs and say, “That’s not a good picture of me.” But the camera isn’t lying. It reflects what it sees. What these people really mean is, “The picture is not flattering enough.” Of course this never happens to me because I’m so “photogenic.” Yes, ...
Kundalini Awakening - Definition And The Path
Kundalini Awakening - the sure shot method for awakening of the kundalini. Before we discuss about kundalini awakening... we need to understand the meaning of kundalini! The kundalini Shakti is that hidden positive energy stored in every human being by awakening which every human being can reach the level of Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed. The awakening of the kundalini is possible by practicing the right Yoga and meditation. In ...
Spirituality Vs. Technology; A War Of Ideals
Spirituality vs. Technology: A war of ideals Good Morning/Afternoon, depending on your time zone. I’d like to take a moment and address a topic that exists in each individual to some degree; spirituality. I’m not necessarily referring to the kind of thing where one gets up on Sunday and listens to the preacher, priest, deacon or minister. I’m referring to that special something that dwells within each person, that sets us apart from the lower forms of life. As I commented earlier, God has ...
Dating A Non-christian
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? -2 Corinthians 6:14
About Being A Christian
About Being a Christian What is a Christian? According to The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, the general definition of a Christian is "One who professes belief in Jesus as Christ or follows the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus."
One Eye
FIRST LOVE RECOVERY MINISTRIES ONE EYE 'Two optics become one when restfully centred on the Lord God Almighty alone whose supreme will should be done' Matt.6:22-23(KJV) "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light." "But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that ...
Hurricane Katrina Was Very Bad
Hurricane Katrina suddenly blossomed into a killer storm The winds, waves, and storm surge were way above the norm Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi this storm did ravage The force of the waters and wind were fierce and mighty savage The levee around New Orleans suffered a major breach The murky flood waters to the rooftops did quickly reach Many people lost their lives, possessions and their home Some folks sought refuge in the New Orleans Superdome ...
Katrina Is Only The Beginning Of The End!
Thomas Jefferson was moved to remark: "My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!" NOT until drought, famine, and supernatural disasters strip our cupboards bare, and EMPTY our grocery shelves, will we know how good we've had it! Only when America goes hungry, will she remember how full she was!
Trailing Clouds Of Glory
Most of us are familiar with the inner criticism and gnawing self-doubt we hear when we want to take the next step in our work or life. Rather than staying stymied we can observe our thoughts, let them go and return to the truth of who we really are. William Wordsworth reminds us of our one true home: Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The soul that rises with us, our life’s star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar: Not in ...
A Dream About Praying For Hurricane Katrina Victims
James 5 verse 16 "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervant prayer of a righteous man availeth much." I have been praying and asking the Lord to use me in some small way to help with the Hurricane Katrina victims...Last night, I had a dream where there were crowds of homeless and desperate people crowding around me. In my dream, I began an intense prayer of intercession for these people....I woke up with the words ...
Holding On To Faith In The Midst Of Tragedy
Holding on to Faith in the Midst of Tragedy In the face of all the images of pain and suffering coming from Louisiana,it is only natural to turn to God and ask, Why? Where are you, God, as these people's lives are torn apart? Why did you allow nature to unleash her fury? It is tempting to look at this as somehow God's punishment or to determine that God doesn't care, or that maybe there is no God because a good God could never allow this to ...
Bible Study Basics
Putting the cart before the horse! This common trait, paradoxically, is human nature both at its best and worst. We are good at taking that "leap of faith" and making great strides towards a goal. Yet consistantly we ignore sound planning and preparation - two things what would virtually guarantee our success. Such is man! Embarking on a course of bible study seems to be no different. How often do we ignore the foundational exercises so we can jump right in? Everyone does. And it ...
Cnn And The American Propaganda Machine!
We have all seen the head page at CNN. It is the cornerstone for internet News, and people from countries all over the world head there on a regular basis to see what is going on in the world. What I wish to talk about right now is the upper right hand corner of the front page pictured here, which usually features the top 10 stories of the hour, and CNN's brilliant use of this section today.
Using The Negative In A Positive Way - God Does It All The Time
So much hullabaloo is created about not saying anything negative especially among Christians, is this reasonable? It would seem that there must be a place in the whole scheme of things for the negative, but just where is that?
We Are Not Of This World
As a Christian, we have to remember the famous prayer of Jesus in John 17....He prayed for us and one of the statements he made was in verse 16 "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world".
The Truth About Christmas
Every year, as Christmas approaches, you hear Christmas carols everywhere. Sometimes to the point where another Silent Night would make you want to silent the sound system.
The Study Of Saints And Why It's Important
Sainthood…that title given by the Catholic Church that seems to draw so much criticism from so many denominations. The mere mention of it angers some people. It’s not so much the title itself that draws attention but the dogma that prayer to those saints is helpful to the living. And while opponents of such an idea try to distance themselves from Catholic theology, they miss out on a big benefit of this ‘disagreeable’ doctrine.
The Gog Magog War - America's Place In Scripture!
INTRODUCTION As we have watched the world stage over the last decade, we have seen that what was formerly a "taken for granted" idea has been capped into oblivion. The former assumption that America held no place in the scriptures, or in the prophetic end times scenario can no longer be defended when looking at the world stage in 2005. We have pointed to the possible fulfillment of the first two of the seven seals, and we now see the impending arrival of the next two in perfect ...
The Catholic Obsession With Martyrs And The Question Of Pain And Suffering
The Catholic Church is kind of like a forest sometimes. Someone on the outside looking in sees nothing but thousands of trees…and most of them look alike. They can see a definite shape to the forest, and elevations that someone inside might miss. On the other hand, they’ll never see up-close nature like the plants and animals inside. They can hear about them, but never live through the experience.
Christians Barred From Praying Upon Jerusalem's Temple Mount!
Subj: FW: guest book note From: ***jerusalem.muni.il To: dbenariel Dear Mr Ben-Ariel, In Jerusalem, religious sites are supervised by the relevant religious authority. Fot this reason, the Temple Mount, which is now covered by Muslim sites, is under the control of the WAQF. Only Islamic prayers are permitted as a result - just as Moslem and Christian prayers would be inappropriate at a Jewish site. The matter of visits to the Temple Mount by adherents of other religions than Islam is under ...
