No but you overthrew democratic governements and put usa puppets all over the Americas and other places.
*Looks at a map of South America and Africa and Asia and the Middle East*
I'm not seeing any regimes that support us except for Saudi Arabia, which doesn't really support us but they like our oil money. Oh! But I am seeing Iran, China, North Korea, Cuba, Nicaragua...
Of the regimes we've toppled, none of them were democratically-elected. These include Taliban-controlled Afghanistan and Iraq, the most prominent regimes we've toppled.
South america is mostly dominated by America, we just got rid of some leaders there. Africa we tried but we don't care about Africans. Asia and Middle east were working on.
No this predates Him with stuff with Trees, strange.
Again, the trees are an example of a pagan ritual ending and being replaced with a Christian one. People who worshiped Thor would say his symbol was an oak tree, and there was one tree they would never let anyone cut down. But when a Christian missionary came, he cut it down to prove that Thor wasn't real, and told them they could use a pine tree instead, as a symbol for Christ, because it stays green all year and it points to heaven. So, again, it was a pagan practice, but it was "rededicated" to Christ.
Its more of Pagans who became christian because it was the desirable thing who later added their ideas in.
No, something different than, this was before Nicholas, plus I reject the Saint thing. But that doesn't mean we should celebrate it. The Bible fulfills everything we do, the Lord's Supper commemorates his sacrifice, and we are told to worship him everyday, not just one day. is someone a Heretic for doing Christmas, No but its still wrong.
We should worship Him every day, but why not have a party about it sometimes?
Yes, my parents use that thing too, I listen and try to learn a little, we have a Coat of Arms ya know, and possibly a relative who fought at Hastings, but were not sure.
I've used it a little bit. You have a coat of arms??? Awesome!
Yep, My Dad Has it right now, don't tell my brother but I plan to get it before him.
In 1991 following Saddam's invasion of Kuwait. Bush Senior was asked if he was going to push into Iraq to dippose of Saddam to prevent him from invading more countries. He said no, and he said that a civil war and mass instability would accur if he did. Bush junior did anyways. Imagine being an Iraqi and how that would scare you if you knew that America decided to just invade you.
I agree with Bush Sr. Bush Jr invaded Iraq thinking:
Iraq was helping terror groups responsible for attacking Americans
Iraq's dictatorship had to be removed
Iraq had weapons of mass destruction
Ultimately, these reasons weren't that great. The war was a mistake, and the only good we got out of it was the removal of a dictator who was really bringing stability to the region.
However, I'll say that when the invasion happened, a lot of Iraqi civilians were happy to hear that Saddam would be removed. They, like Bush and like most people, didn't realize that removing Saddam would make things worse than they already were.
... You mean the Mosaic covenant? The one with Moses, that never mentions instruments? Most Orthodox churches don't use instruments, but again I'm not seeing where Jesus banned music.
Jesus also didn't tell us about the Internet. In worship he does tell us what to use, what not to use is everything else that's gotten into churches, again its not a heresy but a error. But not use them than. Why don't orthodox use instruments?
Well gee, how do you think people would react 2000 years ago if Jesus told them that 2000 years from then, they'd be allowed to use the internet in worship? The Bible doesn't tell us how to worship, it only tells us what to worship. There is no orthodox law or code we need to follow now -- The whole point of the crucifixion was to redeem mankind and to make God more easily approachable.
We should worship Him every day, but why not have a party about it sometimes?
A Party, think about that.
I once went to an event where several Christian music bands from various genres, including Skillet, performed. I think that's the kind of party z-whales had in mind.

I finally pulled up a verse in Colossians that'll end this: Colossians 3:16.
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."
Anyway, most of them don't use instruments simply as choice. I don't think they care one way or another.
