    I think perhaps instead of having a go at you, it was another variation on Azzah's core 'judgement' theme which you'll find in many of his posts :-) I doubt it was a personal attack.

    it was not a personal attack, that's plain to see. He was looking at it though PD's eyes, where you are all bad Christians compared to him.

    Might rename him Saint PD.

    Yes, he messaged me and told me to lift my game; was setting a bad example as Christians should rise above the rest, blah blah freakin blah.

    Oh man T2, sorry for any offence. My statement was dripping with sarcasm. I was trying to make the point that we all have our failures and that no one is perfect and, therefore, no one should judge - a lesson not everyone here has learnt. PD obviously thinks that he is a better Christian than most, but that is through his own blinkered eyes, but through my eyes (and possibly others), he fails miserably in an even basic understanding of the message of acceptance, forgiveness and openess that Christ taught.

    From my online discussions with you T2, I have utmost respect for you and your opinions and you have shown yourself to be highly ethical, respectful and willing to go out of your way to provide others advice. I think you are an excellent example of a Christian. Peace!

    Where are you PD? As you already know, I'm not a Christian but a Muslim, (one who loves and respects everyone, especially the ones who are not Muslims like me). So where do I fit in (if indeed I do) in the whole scheme of things according to you? Awaiting your reply brother...

    PS: Are you a born again Christian?

    I think that alot of people have got the "god made man in his own image" very wrong. Firstly, remember that Genesis, as in the bible, is now proven to be a very brief summary of the Sumerian myths. This fact was first discovered in 1875 when some French dude dug up a Mesopotamian site in Southern Iraq and now with some 350,000 conical clay and stone tablets recovered from the Sumerian cities, the evidence is increasingly so. The bible is a very brief summary of a very long and detailed story. But with regards to the biblical line and remembering that i have studied this issue for many many years, the dude who actually made man was Elil and she was the chief scientist of a group called the Annukai. Our first creation was to work in the mines of South Africa, as the workers where fed up with the work themselves. Obviously the line refers to a being with two arms, two legs, a head and normal air breathing lungs, in comparison to a fish, bird, earthworm, spider, octopus or fungi.
    I feel too many people misinterpret this line, it just refers to the basic image- don't blow it out of proportion.

    Sorry Fadi. I just noticed this now. Yes I guess I am one of those "born again Christians". Now you probably heard a lot of descriptions about what a born again Christian is. So here's my description. When you get born into this life you get born in a physical way and therefore you have a love for physical things: money, women, cars, etc, etc. When you get born again it simply means you start having a love for the spiritual things: praying, going to church, reading the Bible etc. However, where I come from (Romania) there was a better word to describe the "born again Christians" and that is: "repentants". I guess every country has their own names/descriptions. I think the Romanian one is somehow more accurate because it implies I was a sinner (still am, but now I am forgiven) and now I repented of my sins and I have decided to follow the risen Christ by turning away from sin. So that's my short lesson of theology.

    Now my take on you is you have a great mind but you seem to be using it for the wrong purposes. As far as where you fit in the whole scheme of things....that is a tough one to answer because I am not God and I don't know all his thoughts and plans.

    Every thing i said has solid evidence to support it.. Mines in South Africa have been found that date to 450,000BC. I have often been ridiculed for my studies however i stick to my guns.

    Take it like this.. Firstly, do a goggle search and do some serious reading on my theories, you will find that many more people have the same theory. The evidence is very real and overwhelming, that these old myths and stories such as Aboriginal (dream-time stories), Maori, American Indian and many many others are actually historical records. The similarities are remarkable, the people came from the stars (sirius star system), two people in a garden of types, a serpent comes along and they all leave this place and many more. Strangely enough many tribes (google Dogons) actually knew more about astronomy than white man did - until the Hubble telescope. Where did they learn all this?

    Secondly, remember that our society considers the belief in Aliens (in any form) as "Whacked out" - as we once thought the earth is at the center of the solar system. NO scientist who admits to belief in this will ever get a job, keep a job or get a grant to study - only taxi drivers can afford to study this.

    Thirdly, now don't take me wrong, but look at it this way. There are many people out there who believe that a man once turned H2O into Ethyl Alcohol, could walk upon water, could raise a cadaver to walk and talk and then he himself got up and walked away after dying ( i call that whacked) and these people are common accepted as 'normal' in our society - but I am whacked out because i believe in Aliens?? Go figure.

    Pete

    No i don't discriminate, both your theories and established biblical theories are equally whacked out.

    I don't contest you fully believe in your theories, and i kind of dig the scope of them.
