And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."

If Adam (mankind) fell for eating the forbidden fruit of fighting, and God says now he has become like one of us, why is Adam fallen then, would it be true that the fallen archangel of light, Lucifer is a moral being, not a satan at all, is God fallen (in love) too?

thoughts and opinions please

Don't all get excited now. J.K. Rowling isn't doing a book where Harry becomes a member of religious forums or anything.

Suppose for a moment that a weird cult, professed that Harry Potter was a sacred text documenting real-life historical events. Perhaps they assert that the films are documentary evidence or re-enactments.

Do you assert that you simply "lack belief" in the existence of Harry Potter because of "lack of evidence" for it and are open to the possibility of the existence...

All religions have things in common and things in particular, even unique sometimes.
A while ago I had the change to visit the Jehovah's Witnesses head quarters in New York and I was very impressed at how modern and organized everything was. What an incredible work, considering it's all volunteer work and the funding is done via donations that each member provides according to their means and personal situation (donations are anonymous and private so no one knows what others give). The...

If so, where is he slithering about today?

Revelation 12:9
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,
called the Devil, and Satan,
which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth,
and his angels were cast out with him.

Or, is there a spiritual understanding?

CF: Revelation 20:2
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.

INTRODUCTION:

Because dark matter has not yet been observed directly, if it exists, it must barely interact with ordinary baryonic matter and radiation, except through gravity. Most dark matter is thought to be non-baryonic; it may be composed of some as-yet-undiscovered subatomic particles. The primary candidate for dark matter is some new kind of elementary particle that has not yet been discovered, in particular, weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). Many experiments to directly...

As a muslim i often hear non muslims complaining about muslim woman wearing hijab.

But why is it no problem when a western female cover her head with a scarf?

Why the big harasment of islam when if we look at history mostly all females was cocering up their hair. Especially within religious practice.

Sometimes non muslims even know why islam still practice use of hijab for female? Did you know that hijab means to be modest both for male and females?

Various Titles for LHP, Luciferian and Satanist followers??
I need to post this thread in General Religious Debates because I hope that any/all members can reasonably respond if they want to. If any members want to rant against any of the above would they please do that in the bath, or when watching telly, anywhere but not here.

I hope that the Moderators will sort out any aggressive rants by any members.

Why do I want to do this? Well, I have recently posted threads seeking to discover...

I'd like to ask all atheists of this board... do you consider this a legitimate activity?
Or do you think it is lying?

The Defense of the Gospel is usually called apologetics.

Since one of our Christian members has been posting DarkMatter2525 videos recently I thought that I would beat him to the punch with this one:
Though very satirical it does lay out a good case that if anything the Bible is pro-abortion. Anyone care to watch the video and comment?

This is obviously meant more for religious people that believe that God(s) tests us, but anyone can answer if they please.

It's not uncommon to hear that God(s) tests us in different ways, whether that is through faith or some other means, like diseases, hunger, war and so forth.

So according to you, why do you think that God(s) would choose to test people differently? Some are born into wealthy families where they don't really have to concern themselves with making it through the day or...
