what's surprising is that they (the lost) think that pulling scriptures out of context, isolating mosaic laws mean't for one purpose and one time, is somehow refuting scripture.. they like to ignore the fact that jesus is the revealed yahweh and he sets the mark, not any organisation nor any pious individual.

God's image
by Rex B13 inwe are made in god's image and he is a person, not just some invisible, omnipresent force.

Please pray or meditate today
by Rex B13 inwhether you believe in god or not, i hope you will join the peace-loving people of the world in memorial or prayer for the families and the ones lost in this tragedy.
there are likely to be some equally or surpassing brutal retaliation in the days and months ahead.
many more innocents are probably going to die....... after the idiots in the arab countries stop partying i hope they start thinking about just how they are now bona-fide targets.
