Come Together [+ favourites]

quote:
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them.


I believe in the power of belief. If enough people believe strong enough, it becomes a power and force.

Those of us who do believe, can we come together to stop war, global warming, nuclear holacost, aid the starving in Africa.

So many very big problems we can come together on. Bigger than our selves. How many of us have given money to the starving in Africa only to find that the money didn't get there. Some things are bigger than us. But if you have the faith of a mustard seed, you could tell a mountain to turn upside down, and it will, Jesus said.

Any Ideas?

I think you have to have the faith, but you also need to go out and do something about it as well.

Faith without action is dead, I do believe that. Action can come in many forms, like lighting a candle, or fasting.

First off, i completely agree with you about the comming together... if the world united, there would be no limite as to what we could do.

only one problem.

come together under what....

chirstians refuse to come together with musllims jews
muslims with chrisitans and jews

those are the two major religions of the world, so how are we to come together if such a pety thing as religion is keeping us apart?

I think muslim, jews, christians and budists can get along. Not all of them will, but I think most of them can.

I think all that seperates us is a belief that we are separate.

yes, there is truth to that.
we must transcend to the understanding that we are one and the same.

VERY IMPORTANT

Lets come together and pray/meditate for the Church of the Brethren, Mennonites and Quakers.

They have been in Iraq since before the war fighting for peace and not a hair on their head has been harmed until now. NOW 4 of them are being held by terrorists threatening to kill them.

You can also sign a petition asking the terrorists to let them go.
