DEBATE: DOES CHRISTIANITY HAVE A PLACE IN MODERN BRITAIN

DEBATE: Will you be going to church this year

Tuesday December 22,2009

Comment Speech Bubble Have your say(453)

Christmas is a celebration of Christianity and a chance to attend church and give thanks - or at least, it used to be.

But in modern Britain, many children don't even know it's to mark the birth of Jesus. They see Christmas merely as a chance to get some time off school and stock up on expensive presents.

And, for the rest of us, turkey, family arguments and over-indulgence are far more likely than going to church.

So as Christmas 2009 approaches, Express.co.uk wants to know how you will be celebrating the festive season this year - and what role you think Christianity has to play in the UK today?

WILL YOU BE GOING TO CHURCH THIS CHRISTMAS?

DOES CHRISTMAS HAVE A RELIGIOUS MEANING TO YOU?

IS BRITAIN EVEN A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY ANYMORE?

Because it is the clergy who has alienated themselves from mainstream thinking when they should be showing us the moral highground!
The Archbishop of Canterbury seems more concerned on how his church is perceived at the BBC then coming forward to assist in broken homes or dis affected kids !

DON'T SHUT ME OUT..

Tony Blair is my ultimate Hero.
By Alison Little, Deputy Political Editor TONY Blair was accused yesterday of “bottling” an encounter with the public after he cancelled a book-signing event.

The former Prime Minister was due to sign copies of his memoirs tomorrow amid heavy security at booksellers Waterstone’s flagship store in London’s Piccadilly.

But yesterday he pulled out amid concerns that protests by anti-war campaigners and others would cause “hassle” to the public and put “extra strain” on police.

Lindsey German, convenor of the Stop The War Coalition, said: “Blair was too frightened to appear because he knows that the protests represent widespread opposition to his war-mongering.
“We believe he should be in court for war crimes.

“He refuses to apologise for the war and repeatedly justifies a future attack on Iran. He is a serial offender.”

Coalition spokesman Chris Nineham added: “Blair has bottled out because he knows hundreds of people would have been there to demonstrate against him.’’

At his first public signing of A Journey, in Dublin at the weekend, protesters hurled eggs and shoes – a traditional Arab insult – and one tried to make a citizen’s arrest.

Mr Blair, announcing he was cancelling the London event, said: “I’m really sorry for those – as ever the majority – who would have come to have books signed by me. I hope they understand.”

CRISTIANITY, AND ALL THE OTHER RELIGIONS, HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR FROM US MERE ATHEISTS ....

But religions, and in particular 'Christianity' has much to fear from 'Science and archeological finds' ?

Even the Vatican, can not hide the truth forever, they coped with ' Heresy', and they coped with 'Darwin' .. they are, so far hiding and coping with science ... but how much longer can they cope, or hide the evidence from archeology !

Religion = power, and they are not going to let that power go without a fight, the facts to them are irrelevant.

READ THIS AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND AS TO WHETHER WE NEED THE BELIEFS OUR MORE SUCCESFUL FORFATHERS CARRIED WITH THEM WHEREVER THEY WENT . THEY WERE KNOW AS THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK/BIBLE!

25.08.10, 12:02pm

To start off with the teachings of Christ whose actual name was not Jesus but Yahshua. He did not observe Xmas, Easter, Lent as they were adopted by the Catholic church when it was founded by it’s first Pope, Emperor Constantine who re united the Empire after deposing the other three emperors in ongoing wars. Oh this good man murdered his son and also anyone who looked as though he may be a threat.

I remember learning at school about the horrific practices of the ancients where they sacrificed babies into the fires of their pagan god Baal to the roll of drums to hide the screams.

As one former Midwife now an MP said, ‘I was required to throw fully formed screaming babies in cardboard boxes time and again’.
Now an MP she told of her experiences to the Commons when they were discussing modifications to the health bill. She was telling her part in the murder of just under 7million British babies.

One of the grotesque modifications of horrific Frankenstein science gone mad, is the birthing of babies, having no father or mother for purpose of supplying spare parts. Can you imagine this craziness. It’s creepy and unacceptable. What will they be doing next?

Ill tell you what they will be doing next. They are going to help just a few very ill people by giving them the right to haver assisted death, you know the same way they wanted to help a few pregnant girls with unwanted pregnancies.

The man who framed this law said @ if only he had known@ He thought he was only helping a few girls, not be responsible for the deaths of millions of babies by state authorised murder. And to day we see nothing wrong.

In the same way it has happened for babies they will now have the right to top and tail the population by state authorised murder of the elderly. Maybe it will reach the same proportions as babies where millions die. Hitler would be proud!

Only when the teachings of Yahshua/Jesus became general were these inhuman practices stopped, though the Roman circus went on long after the Empire went Christian which it never really did as it continued the pagan holy days such as:

Sunday to the Unconquered Sun or Sol Invictus, Easter to the Egyptian goddess Ishtar, Xmas to replace the Saturnalia and Norse Yule. Thjey hoisted an evergreen tree nailed it to stop it falling over and covered it with baubles and candles lit on December 25th to encourage the sun to return. See Yeremiah 10:1 to see what Yahweh says about such pagan Practices that we have inherited as Christian. Constantine did this to keep the Empire together as it was fracturing along religious lines. So he ‘cleverly’ adopted all the beliefs into one organisation known as the Universal or Catholic Church.

Not one of the feasts that the Prophets, Yahshua/Jesus & the disciples observed till after 80 AD are observed.

The decedents of the Disciples during the Quatodecean Controversy in 325 AD at the council of Nicaea approached Emperor Constantine to ask him to observe the Biblical feasts delivered and observed by Jesus and his disciples.

He rejected them because he had decided to unite the Empire under one religion under a new deity by including all the gods and holy days within one religion. That is why the Catholic church started with over 10,000 saints. They were the Gods of the valleys, rivers and travel from the different regions of the Empire like St Christopher. If he had done anything else they would have risen up and assassinated him, a fate most Emperors shared. Constantine had many attempts on his life.

Today we move away from the little we had and as the bible confirms, chaos will rule.

Now as we retreat from the strong beliefs of our forefathers held we see occult practices returning with headless, legless and armless bodies appearing. We see teachers with no moral compass of what is right or wrong. This teacher made a mistake but so did many others. We see priests thinking it is their right to molest children because they know the belief is wrong. YahwehNews dot com

Do we need Yahweh and the Bible. Yes! More than ever. Our society is sliding towards grotesque Frankenstein science and nuclear war. YahwehNews.com
