Then why do you ignore his teachings? If you love Christ then do the commandments and believe he IS the son of God. America is free to worship whoever, BUT, if we continue to ignore the commandments, God will lift our blessings

I'm sorry, but those bible versus that you quoted seems only to prove me point being: God is not here to condemn us, but to love us, seen in the verse Matt 5:17 as you quoted. So, how does this show that God is here to hurt us, do bad things to us, punish us? God lets us suffer the consequences of our actions as I said before, not because he wanted to, but because from the beginning of time, he granted us the "gift" of free choice. Without that, there wouldn't even be sin, but there was. Adam and Eve chose to eat the apple, and so, God didn't hurt them, but instead they suffered the consequences of their actions. God clearly outlined what would happened long time beforehand if they did eat from the tree, but they did it anyway. Honestly, how can you not get it?

Why do you ignore Buddha’s teachings or Muhammad’s or any other supposed incarnated deity? What has you convinced that your paradigm is the truth and all others are wrong? Interpretation of scripture varies as widely as the colors of the rainbow. Why are you so convinced your interpretation is correct? Is it possible you have misinterpreted scriptures? Is it possible you yourself have been manipulated by the so called anti-Christ in order to hate and support death and destruction on those of different faiths? Please enlighten me...

It is people like you who made me detest Christianity. I think you need to really sit down and read the bible without your fanatic thinking and you might see a more peaceful and loving god. Jesus would have never condoned the things you say.

America is made up of the lost tribes of Israel, and since it has been banning God from schools, allowing homosexual marriage, allowing vile leaders (clinton) to continue...........the actual Sept 11th attacks were just the begining.............
God has cursed america for straying from the commandments and allowing all sorts of vile sins to become popular "culture". By embracing "multiculturalisum" BS. By allowing idloitry such as buddisim, etc, to flurish.............for allowing islam to exist in america..........
Freedom of religion did not mean freedom of worship of false God's.......
