		<description>Mrs. G.:

Enjoyed most of the exchange, even your &quot;humor&quot; (as opposed to debate) as long as the personal attacks are kept to a minimum.

Yes, they need our prayers as does the entire country.

Take care .............</description>

		<description>A. Thanks
B. Not all Christian&#039;s go for that. 
C. A very cool thing, like I said.
D. I trust the J man....no problem. Satan can also disguise himself as a marine.
E. Jesus returning to live as king, not queen? That&#039;s good &#039;cuz lot&#039;s of fundamentalists have problems with Queens.

and last, so you can&#039;t show where Big J supported the death penalty.

Gee that was fun!

Corporal, we are sooo very different.

I&#039;ll keep you in my prayers!</description>

		<description>Mrs. Godzilla:

1)  Thanks for a reasonable attempt at answering my question.  See, it wasn&#039;t that hard and it&#039;s much more polite than being &quot;one way&quot;.

a) Since you find nothing about Jesus that you dislike I assume you like everything He said or did.

b) No, Jesus was not &quot;made&quot; in God&#039;s likeness.  He only took on human form as God Himself.  Jesus was God from eternity past.  &quot;In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God ....&quot;.  &quot;All things were made by Him&quot;.   &quot;If you have seen Me you have seen the Father&quot;.  &quot;I and the Father are one&quot;.  Jesus is fully God and as thus was never created.  He was from the beginning.  That is the basic tenet of Christianity.  To believe otherwise is an attempt to de-deify Christ and false doctrine/heresy.

c)  Man and woman are made in God&#039;s image meaning we are triune beings with a body, soul and spirit (yet one person) much like God is a triune being yet &quot;One&quot;.

d)  If Jesus taught all of his followers (including women) to pray, &quot;Our Father&quot;, why would you object to that?  Not being a little rebellious are you?  Be careful .... as I said before &quot;Satan can disquise Himself as an angel of light&quot;.

e)  Jesus is returning to reign forever as &quot;King&quot; but not &quot;queen&quot;.  I hope you will not address Him as queen.


2) Your question about the death penalty is a good one.   There is no scripture saying &quot;I am for the death penalty&quot; (as there is none saying I am for jail terms for bank fraud) so we must infer based on the totality of the scriptures (I could give you many) taken in their proper context.  With that in mind, I believe it is Biblical for certain heinious crimes and certainly murder.  Remember, even the thief on the cross said &quot;he justly deserved this&quot;.  

With this in mind, what more of a &quot;death sentence&quot; is there than eternity in hell.  For everytime Jesus mentioned heaven, He warned of hell many more times.  As a human being I don&#039;t understand that but I don&#039;t get to make the rules.

I hope I have answered &quot;your&quot; question.  If not, fine tune it and I&#039;ll try again.</description>

		<description>BTW . . . it&#039;s the University of Notre Dame - not Notre Dame Univeristy.

None of today&#039;s &quot;outraged&quot; protesters had much to say when pro-choice, pro-death penalty, pro-war, pro-torture Condoleezza Rice spoke at Notre Dame&#039;s commencement.  At least President Obama agrees with the Catholic Church on most of these issues.

Support the University&#039;s decision.  Sign the petition:

		<description>COrporal

Of course, Jesus referred to God with a male pronoun. He was made in his image and likeness. Just like me - that&#039;s why I use the feminine pronoun - as I was made in her image and likeness.  One of the many very cool things about God....we are all made in God&#039;s image and likeness and we are all sooooo different.

There&#039;s nothing about Jesus that I dislike....Ok, one thing, he sets an
example that I at times find hard to follow. 

I do dislike that stupid quote about tolerance and standing for nothing!</description>

		<description>Mrs. Godzilla:

Short patrol .... I&#039;m back:

1)  Regarding your 12:46

&quot;He who hath seen me has seen the Father&quot;.  

Now, you can refer to God as your &quot;Mom&quot; if you want to but Jesus referred to Him (and all the ladies in the Bible did also) as Father.  I don&#039;t know where you got that (I&#039;m just being nice - I really do) but remember &quot;Satan can disquise himself as an angel of light&quot;.  Be careful.

2) &quot;Just where does Jesus throw his support behind the death penalty?&quot;

Excellent, thought provoking question.  I have an answer for you, however, our dialogue/question asking is NOT going to be &quot;one way&quot;.  

I previously asked you three times &quot;What part of Jesus’ “intolerance” do you not like?&quot; and you refused to address it.

You answer that and I will happily respond to your question.</description>
