It doesn't seem to matter what forum a person goes to, there is always somebody trying to link the Exodus with a volcano supposedly around that time. Then when someone points out that you can't have millions of people with their animals wandering around a relatively small desert area for 40...
LOL you are assuming that all men deserve to be treated like idiots. Most men would not want to be treated like they don't have a brain. Obviously you like that. Each to their own.
So then, what happens when you have both genitalia from birth? How do you decide which sex you are then? Homosexuality has occurred for a very long time and in some societies they have been given places of honor. The only reason why homosexuality is even a topic of discussion now is because of...
Yet homosexuals are to be disqualified from humane treatment? He crossed the line. He needed to be reminded of that. We do have free speech but we also have consequences. Christians do not like to have consequences when they trot out bigoted statements and then cry religious persecution when...
I think there are a lot of people out there that feel like us. I recognize there are many who have great faith in a God, but it's so hard for me to understand how they can. My family is hard core when it comes to believing in God, so I am the odd person out. I've done a lot of reading and...
I am agnostic too and it's mostly because I don't think there is any one truth, in this world anyway. All the religions compete with each other and say they are the only right way and I totally stay away from that line of thought. There is more of an atheist in me than a theist as far as...
From what I can remember we have only Paul's side of whether or not they accepted him don't we? I recognize he did go and talk to them and he wasn't received well for the most part. I don't know of scripture that comes from any of the 12 that says they agree with Paul. Just Paul saying so.
I have read this in several places. The Sanhedrin wanted him dead, that's true. However, there were quite a number of Messiahs with varying degrees of success and Rome crucified many of them for treason. Jesus had just turned over the money changers tables in the temple, money that the Romans...
Jesus was crucified for treason like many of the other 'Messiahs' of that time. Rome was not considered to be anything but swift and brutal if they heard of anyone getting to popular and thinking they may have an uprising because of it.
The thing that concerns me is that the young parents that are really into the creationist philosophy, are starting to home school their kids so they don't get exposed to stuff they don't agree with. The kid is then trapped in an environment where they do not get to learn what other kids or...
Here is why the Trinity won.
Found this paragraph to be quite revealing. It sounds like it was a political choice to choose the Trinity definition not because it was the truth, but because it was expedient. From the book "When Jesus became God" by Richard Rubenstein.
Hosius was the one...
