I don’t ever recall seeing a tomato get baptized.

Look at the bright side: At least they didn't pin broccoli on us!

Ignorance is an uncounted plague on the ME outside of Israel.

Good! More for us.

Do the Muzzies have any such prohibitions against ketchup?

I’ve had relatives who worked in Saudi for oil companies - they told me it was not unusual for the natives to build walls in which they avoided staggering rows of bricks or cement blocks because staggering them gave rise to patterns that looked like crosses.

We’re dealing with some serious messed up folks here - even vampires don’t fear the cross that much!

Mine haven’t been great producers, but I’ve gotten a few. I’m of the opinion that there are few things in this world finer than a vine-ripened tomato that was still on the vine a few minutes before you began eating it.

And pimento cheese. Nothing is more Christian than a pimento cheese sandwich. Every party at church has them!

Obama is...using the Syria chemical attack to attack the wrong side.

Both sides are wrong, they're Muslims killing each other. Being as they have the same basic beliefs (kill all infidels) let them continue to wipe each other out. It's a good thing.

We should stay out of it, period.

Yep, let them kill each other while we stay out of the way.

Obama of course is totally compromised by his top advisor, Muslim Brotherhood Islamic Muslim terrorist member and supporter Valerie Jarrett.

She dictates policy to Obama, while Mrs. Weiner, Hilliary's gf and top advisor and Muslim Brotherhood Islamic Muslim Huma Abedin likewise dictates policy to Clinton.

All this mess in and from the Mid East is all about Iran (Islam)against the US and Israel.

Prelude to Armageddon.

“But as many as received him, to these he gave power to become the sons of God, to them who believe on his name.” ( John 1:12)

No work (baptism) is required to become a Christian. If we love him, we will obey his commands. The first is to be baptized not in order to be forgiven for sins. Our faith has justified us. “By grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God, not of works, lest any many should boast” (Ephesians 2:8,9) “Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness. To the one who works his wage is not credited as a favor, but what is due. But to him that does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness.” (Romans 4:3-5)

We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Some mistakenly assert that baptism is required for salvation, but the overwhelming majority of scriptures do not even mention baptism. If baptism were required for salvation, this would contradict many plain teachings to the contrary. No scripture is of private interpretation and must harmonize with all other scriptures on the topic. It is a tempting fatal conceit to think that our works are somehow required for salvation. Only he has kept the whole law. All we can do is trust in his finished work. We are his workmanship.

Interesting. So, what they are saying, is that God put the cross inside of tomatoes probably before man even existed as a testimony to Jesus and His sacrifice. I think that’s a pretty fabulous testimony of faith.

This is very serious! And soon the atheists will join in demanding that tomatoes be banded from sale or production because they promote Christianity and not secularism. And then what will we do with all of the rotten tomatoes?

To me the idea that they believe that and still deny that Christianity is valid is mind boggling.

That would be as if I were to state that I believe everything in the bible is an absolute fact, and yet I am an atheist.

I’m surprised that Islamists haven’t banned the plus sign in arithmetic because it is the Christian cross.
