To forbid the use of condoms.
And you might find too the episcopal church, in the USA, the anglican church in the USA, that allows gays pastors.
They live in union with those pastors.
There are specific denominations for homosexuals.
Like a contemporary church in Rio.
A few brothers here have heard of that church.
There is the metropolitan church too.
Those are communities to the homosexuals.
You might find people with totally different opinions.
There is no way you can join them.
As an example:
Obama and Bush.
Both are christians.
Obama was a member of the United Church of Christ.
A tradicional denomination in the USA.
I don't know if until today.
Spiritualistic, catholics, protestants, mormons, Yehovah-witnesses, all of them declares themselves christians.
And there are many other groups!
But...Well, everybody seems to be christian, huh?
So, depending on what christian is, in the head of a person,
Jesus really doesn't want christians.
What christian means?
What the word christian is?
If you search for the origin of that word, it arises in the city of Antioch.
Before that, the church of Jerusalem, the church of Judea, was serving the Lord.
Then came the persecution.
They had to flee and establish in Antioch, Syria.
And there, it was the first time the disciples were called "christians".
Until then, that name did not exist.
And so, the name "christian" was made to name Jesus's disciples.
Christian, in its true form, it is the disciple of Jesus.
Jesus's follower.
But Jesus wants followers?
He wants disciples?
Of course!
The last word before going to the heavens was:
"Therefore, go and make disciples."
The last thing He said!
Normally, the last words of a man is the most important thing, the legacy he will leave.
Jesus said:
"I have been given all authority"
"in heaven and on earth."
He begins with this.
Matthew 28.18.
"I have been given all authority"
"in heaven and on earth."
"Therefore, go and make disciples"
Of where? "of all the nations."
From all places.
"I want disciples, in all places,"
"of all nations."
How to make disciples?
He answers:
"Baptizing them in the name of the Father,"
"the Son and of the Holy Spirit,"
"and teaching them" what?
"To obey everything I have commanded you."
"And surely I am with you always,"
"to the very end of the age."
So, in this job, I will help you.
You are not alone.
I will be with you.
Then, Jesus's commandment is:
"Go and make disciples."
So, Jesus has disciples.
Jesus wants christians.
And so, the confusion in this verse,
I can't talk about the whole book, but at least in this verse, the confusion is there.
"I do not wish to make you christians."
Because Jesus WANTS people to become christians.
A christian, a disciple, a disciple of Jesus.
"Polak's Question:
Round 3"
Earlier at the UN COmmission on Narcotic Drugs
In 2008 Vlenna, Frederick Polak, a Dutch psychiatrist asked Antonio Maria Costa, HEAD of UNODC a simple question:
How does Costa explain the fact that the cannabis consumption levels are not higher in the Netherlands than in the neighboring countries, although in the Netherlands cannabis is available for consumption by adults?
Costa silenced his "NGO Partner."
Embarrassed by our video, he decided to make his first official visit . . .
Mr. Polak asked Mr. Costa again at the International Harm Reduction Conference in Barcelona on May 15, 2008.
Good morning.
Fredrick Polak, psychiatrist from Amsterdam, well, this is a continuation on the question I already posed, which I will very shortly repeat, the relationship between the availability of cannabis in the Netherlands, and the relatively low or average level of use, which in my view is contrary to the theory of prohibition.
But now I would like to ask Mr. Costa, we heard that you made a visit to Holland and you visited a coffee shop and a consumer room, and I would like to ask you, what did you learn in Holland, and what are your impressions?
Regarding Mr. Polak's sort of a continuing of questioning on the relationship between availability in Holland and high Availability of what? level of use.
Availability of drugs, and the level, availability of alcohol and the level, availability of tobacco and the level.
I'm surprised Mr. Polak there is no focus as well on tobacco and alcohol.
Here is the thing, for a number of reasons
I am getting close to the Netherlands emotionally and culturally and many other reasons a country that I respect
I decided in order to address the errors as scientifically as we could possibly do,
I decided to travel in a study mission to Amsterdam, the core if you wish of initiatives which are obviously quite problematic,
like the coffee shops, or for that matter the sex windows, where women are exposed in big windows at street level.
I decided to go there.
It was a very interesting session, a couple of weeks ago,
I met with the mayor, a senior official from the administration, we learned about the policy that they pursuing, the municipality of Amsterdam, not the Netherlands at large, and then we had a second and final session late in the afternoon to conclude any kinds of opposition.
We are producing a discussion paper which will be posted on our website very soon, so Mr. Polak, wait a few more days and then you will enjoy our conclusions.
But our conclusions are along the lines of what I've been saying for a long time.
Availability causes use.
And the city of Amsterdam is characterized by rates of drug addiction
-I'm referring to cannabis use- three times greater than anywhere else in Europe, thanks.

Is This True?
