You should directly ask governments for funding, not me. I don't print 
money. :)

You derive a "money intent" from my posts?  You are mistaken.

Salvation is free.  It is your eternal soul that needs saved.  That
is my interest, and my concern.  Not money.

Thank you,

Is there adverrtising on your site? (*)

(And, no, I have no intention of clicking on it to find out)

(*) Apart from the fact that the salvation racket is all one big
marketing/adverrtising con.

No advertising.  It is a very simple hand-coded html website.  I
do have a PayPal donate button.  Two people have dobated to me
since 2014.  I refunded both their donations.  I am hoping for that
anonymous $5M donation. :-)

Thank you,

In reply to#104191
I was watching part of A Man Called Peter this morning, about Peter
Marshall, a famous pastor during the 1940s.  He's giving his first
sermon at his new post in a famous church in Washington D.C.
There, he preaches on his bitter distaste of how so many people
believe that "religion" is peddled, sold, advertised to trap and
bind people as the many systems at work in this world do.

It's not like that.  Christ is free to receive.  Coming to complete
forgiveness is ours for the asking.  We ask Him directly.  No middle
man.  No separation between us and God.  We come to Him alone,
able to do so by what He did for us at the cross.  He alone makes
salvation possible.

    The scene begins at 48:40 in the movie:
    A Man Called Peter

Available on Netflix.  Or here for rental:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_Ni14al7uU

The concept of trying to make the Kingdom of God into something
like the perishing, fragile, and fleeting kingdoms of this world is not
a new concept.  It is the same ploy wielded by an impotent enemy
whose only ability to possess power is to deceive people into
folliwing him rather than the truth.  But all who seek the truth overcome
him, because Jesus already defeated that enemy at the cross.  And
Jesus is truth (literally).

We now stand in victory, all who are His.  The rest remain defeated,
deceived by Satan to even their own deaths in Hell, because they
would not listen to the truth, and embrace it.

The movie is a great and wonderful story.  Another great part
is when the young woman gives her speech about women in
the 20th century (about 20 minutes in, the scene on the back
of a flatbed pickup).

Do watch the scene, and movie.

Thank you,

Oh snap!!!

I was so hoping it would be about the famous host of the (original)
Hollywood Squares.  That would have been interesting.

Felt guilty receiving it at the time.  It was the two people who donated
urging me to put up a donate button.  I didn't have one previously.
It was less than $100 I received total, refunded promptly.  They both
also asked why.

My projects require 5+ other developers.  I would like to be
able to hire them for five years to complete my vision.  I figure it
would require about $5 million for labor, tools and machines,
diagnostic hardware, and fab costs for early Arxoda CPU prototypes.

You don't understand Islam. 

Islam is a reformed version of the Christianity of James the
brother of Jesus. It's just as closely related to the teachings
of Jesus as your theology is.

Islam is a false religion perpetuating a false god and is of the devil himself.
It is flesh-focused, denies the deity of Christ, and has all ends in
religion, not in spirit.  People who don't convert are to be killed.

https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/articles/10-reasons-not-peace.aspx

https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/myths/index.aspx

Flip through the various pages there.  Islam is wholly anti-Christ
wholly evil.

It is no better or worse than Christianity. But once again we see your
arrogance and pride in your own worldview.

Wow! So now you want to KILL people simply for having a different worldview
than you. THAT is evil. Pure, unadulterated evil.

You have an evil worldview.

You cannot speak for others but you have spoken for yourself: YOUR version
of Christianity is a dark and evil one, one that demands killing. YOUR
religion is a religion that pushes back from good and demands evil.

Sorry to hear it.

And to be clear, that most certainly does NOT apply to all Christians.

Was that a deliberate misinterpretation, to demonstrate how preaching in the wrong ways or in the wrong places can be counter-effective?

(Not sure whether that would be a good approach or not.)

Wait... on re-reading I see he was not pushing the view of "People who don't
convert are to be killed" but lying and saying all Muslims have that view.

On that I stand corrected and owe him an apology. Thanks for pointing out my
error.

And, Rick, my apology is sincere. I disagree with you strongly but you did
NOT suggest others should be killed for not converting.

It's not a lie, "Snit."  It is Islam:

    http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/violence.aspx

    "...there are very few verses of tolerance and peace to balance
     out the many that call for nonbelievers to be fought and subdued
     until they either accept humiliation, convert to Islam, or are
     killed."

Killing everyone except Muslims, for disbelief in Islam is "worse
than killing," and Muslims are to fight people until there are
nothing but Muslims left:

    Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and
    turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah
    [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing... but if they desist,
    then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until
    there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along
    with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let
    there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun(the polytheists,
    and wrong-doers, etc.)" (Translation is from the Noble Quran)

Fighting is prescribed for Islam believers, and even against their
true God-given natural affections and love for their fellow man:

    Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike
    it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for
    you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah
    knoweth, and ye know not."

Killing them or enslaving them into Mafia-like "protection money":

    Quran (9:5) - "So when the sacred months have passed away, then
    slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive
    and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then
    if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave
    their way free to them."

And just read through the many other verses.

-----
Islam is the way of "believe or die" and is focused upon the flesh.

Christianity teaches that we are already spiritually dead in sin,
yet alive in our flesh.  We are already on our way to Hell because
of Adam's sin, and our own sin, and that Jesus came to take our sin
away because He loves us and wants to redeem us, and that He will
take away the sin of everyone who comes to Him merely for the asking.

Jesus wants everyone to come to repentance.  But there still remains
eternal damnation for those who will not accept His offer, because
they reject Him.  And because Jesus is literal Truth, when a person
rejects Jesus they reject Truth, so that falseness, that lie, is
forever cast into Hell where it can have no influence upon God's
universe.

God is judging sin ... all sin.  He is willing to forgive everyone
for what they've done.  All anyone has to do is believe, and ask.

Thank you,
Rick C. Hodgin

There are lots of people misrepresenting lots of religions all over 
the Internet, as if they had nothing better to do. We should not 
believe everything we read on a web site. (Even when we are, for 
instance, reading our own blogs, I'd say. 8-*)

Personally, I find the Bible to be much more accessible scripture
than the Quran. Part of that is that I grew up with the Bible (and 
another book or three of scripture, but that's even more off-topic 
here).

Because I learned to read the scriptures for what they are, 
incomplete records kept and passed down by inspired, but fallible 
men and women, I can seek the truth to be found in them instead 
of demanding that any one scripture or set of scriptures 
completely and perfectly circumscribe all truth.

We who write programs understand the difficulty of attaching 
semantics to symbols. We should understand, I think, that words 
are inherently malleable. They can carry meaning, when used 
appropriately, but they do not contain meaning.

As an example, if you use a constant called "BLACK" in the 
wrong place in a program, it might actually cause a computer 
screen to go white.

Because we deal with words and semantics, we should understand 
the necessity of using words appropriately.

We should also understand the necessity of interpreting words 
appropriately.

Just as there are people who falsely profess the Christ, 
there are people who falsely profess Islam.

All religions have their power-mongers and liars.
It's going to be difficult to reach out to the elect
who are sincere in their adherence to their traditions, 
if you deliberately let the liars and apostates 
among them become a wall between you and them.

There will always be false teachers.  It's the nature of sin living
within us, and it is Satan's way to take advantage of that weak sin
nature, deceiving people to move forward falsely.

I'm sorry, Joel, but Islam is evil.  There is no other way to present
that religion.  The only reason there aren't more terrorist Muslims
is for the same reason there aren't more holy Christians:  people are
apostate.

Muhammad married a six year old, consummated their marriage when she
was nine.  Allah calls himself the chief of liars, and advocates
people lying to advance the Muslim agenda.  If people refuse to
convert to Islam, they have a choice:  be killed, or remain alive
and pay an ongoing fee for your life (like Mafia "protection money"
so nothing bad happens to you ... so long as you pay).

There is nothing redeeming about Islam.  And because of the spiritual
nature of our battle in this world (mankind's battle against evil
spirit entities), those who are not born again and serving Jesus
Christ are like the people in the move The Matrix, the evil spirits
can rise up and act in any one of them at any time because they are
still slaves to sin, and dead in sin.

There is nothing comparable between Islam and Christianity.  Jesus
came to save all people, and did so out of love, teaching us that
we are lost in sin, and that we cannot save ourselves.  He came to
do what we could not do, rescuing us from our condition, and setting
us free to be with Him in eternity, redeemed despite our guilt.

I'm sorry if you can't handle the truth, Joel, but Islam is as evil
as it gets.  It is a murderous band of terrorist that simply do not
rise up and act as a people because they are apostate and refuse,
even by their natural conscience and nature, to do those things their
own "holy" book teaches them to do.

Thank you,
Rick C. Hodgin

Here is an idea: you keep pushing the arrogant idea that you have the one
truth we should listen to. Cool!

Now show support. Evidence. Reason.

Do you have ANY? I think we all know the answer: no. You have none. Not a
shred. And you crossed a line when you said that others should be killed
simply for having a different worldview. You crossed the line to supporting
the tactics of religious fanatics such as the ones ISIS pushes.

Your version of Christianity is evil.

You have said YOU support terrorism. Muslims, as a whole, have not.

Below you whine about Islam but ignore the evils in the Bible and say you
will avoid material that speaks of such. You are a hypocrite.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
