Well the fact with me - I believe what I am taught and read from the bible.. Its not about what you and I agree on. Or others.. Its about what I believe for myself.. Ultimately - I will have to deal with my own faults - my own demons - my own sins if you will - so basically its up to me - what I choose to do with myself. Im not attacking you or anyone else in beliefs.. What happens in the end - we will have to see.

PmoneyandTT..we might have differences on other less important issues but you have definately got all the facts together regarding faith.
This might be an opportunity to do a little apologetics for some folks who like the Bible as "History" and "stories" but doubt its authenticity.
For example: How many documents do we have within 200 years of Julius Caesar regarding his campaign in Gaul?...19
How many documents do we have attesting to the life & ministry of Christ within 200 years? 250+
Have you read/seen how the Dead Sea scrolls attest to our unchanging Word?...This is a great testimony to the copyists & scribes who did a phenominal job in reproducing the word that was passed to them.
NEVER accept the claims of Moslems that the word has been twisted and distorted!
NEVER accept that "all religions are equal..."
NEVER accept that scripture was incomplete and needed updating by Joseph Smith and others.
Veritas.

Let me tell you why not

no other gods - exodus 20:1-4

In our modern times, we think idols and their offerings are obsolete, but that is not true!  Today, the idols have taken on a disguise.  Let's disrobe them and expose their danger.  Idols are the things you worship, the things to which you yield your strength. They are false gods.
I know that most of us have no physical shrines in our homes, but don't you realize you can worship things by paying them too much attention? You can worship them by dedicating your life to impressing them or by allowing their opinion to determine your self-worth or esteem.  Those things are idols in your life.  You have shed tears over them.  You have birthed blessings that you have not enjoyed because you did a right thing for a wrong reason.  Is there an idol, the thing in your life that has stolen your attention and emotions from a God who keeps blessing you?  Have you missed the sweet taste of God's favor because you took the successes that He gave you and paraded them before others whose minds you wanted to change?  Is there an area or issue that you have allowed to become an idol?  It may be an ex-husband.  It may be a childhood rivalry.  It could be the result of burning, painful words that scalded your heart and left you blistered inside!  This may be an area that God needs to heal in your life.  

The religions that you have posted - take the time and read the history.  You will find that control is a major role in all of them.  And worshipping a form of idol.
