    What's really "God's Word" according to history...

    And in those Jewish texts that predated Christianity, was there anything written that described the scriptures written to be "God's Word"? My understanding is that the idea of "God's Word" came from the Egyptians since that's what their written language was called. But no mention of this in the...

    What's really "God's Word" according to history...

    The word Bible comes from the Greek word "biblion", which means "scroll" or "book" and Latin word "biblia", which also means "book" or "collection of books". So why do all Christians call it the "Word of God"? But there is a form of writing called "Medu Neter", or hieroglyphs (oldest known form...

    Yahweh claimed to have created evil

    Agreed. So our language changes and so does the meaning of the Bible as the language changes. So the issue is the language. If we didn't change the language, then the meanings would remain the same. But are we changing the language to FIT our own meanings? But what I don't understand is, the...

    Can sinners really be Christains?

    Are those really sins? And if to follow his lifestyle is ridiculous, then why create a whole religion after him? The whole meaning of Christian is to be Christ-like. But if people can't do it, then why they continue to be apart of the religion named after him. Now I have to ask, what is sin...

    Can sinners really be Christains?

    Yes, but it goes on to say that if you are of God (which you already made the choice to be with Him), then you will no longer CONTINUE to sin. There are 2.2 Billion people who CHOSE Him, however, they all CONTINUE to sin. Does it mean that once you have chosen Him, then you sins will be covered...

    Can sinners really be Christains?

    The last time I checked, EVERYBODY sins on a daily basis. I know the whole idea that you should REPENT of your sins as much as you sin. So, how can these scriptures about sinning be accurate? 1 John 3:4-6 4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he...

    Yahweh claimed to have created evil

    So then my conclusion is that the biblical God can't possibly be omnipotent because there are things that exist that He didn't "create". I think too many Christians want to believe that the biblical God is all good, and that he allows evil to continue for the purpose of teaching us lessons? I'm...

    Yahweh claimed to have created evil

    And I think that's the problem, it always never means what it says. Why read a book that literally READS He "created" evil but somehow the meaning is SECRETLY hidden to mean this. If I write a letter to someone stating, "You won $1 Million.", do I really mean they will win it if they do this or...

    Yahweh claimed to have created evil

    The scripture clearly states that God CREATED darkness and evil. Which makes sense since people believe God to be omnipotent. He has ALL power, right? But if God didn't create the bad or evil or even sin, then who did? And does that take away from him being ALL powerful if someone else created...

    Omnipotent Paradox and the Universe

    Very good question. In my opinion, I believe that omnipotent being can not create a universe too big for god to have any control over IF that being is the whole universe, ITSELF. To make it more clear, think about us and our bodies. Our bodies are made up of billions of cells that form mulitple...

    The Third Day (for Christians).

    The definition clearly states that you will have to give up something "valued" for the sake of other considerations. Jesus wasn't a sacrifice because according to the bible, his flesh was brutally beaten and killed. Matt 26:41 "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed...

    Why do People feel entitled to be a part of the middle class?

    I totally agree. The hardest workers are the least paid workers and they probably wouldn't have to work so hard if our society conditions were better. The "poor" spend most of their lives working just to live while we have some people who don't even know what hard work is but they want for...

    Why doesn't the laws of the US reflect the "Nation of Christians" it claims to be?

    Totally agree. Those "fake" Christians hide behind that claim that, "God didn't literally mean that, He meant..." to justify why they don't follow what the scriptures actually say. I hope this post wasn't too much...

    Why doesn't the laws of the US reflect the "Nation of Christians" it claims to be?

    Right, however, I never understood if this book is suppose to be the Truth, why do we have so many interpretations? I would think God would say this is my word and follow it to the T regardless of the changes of life. But it doesn't. Preachers preach on THEIR OWN interpretation and just since it...

    Why doesn't the laws of the US reflect the "Nation of Christians" it claims to be?

    No I don't think it's being "brainwashed" to believe that the we are heading to destruction. We are the Cancer in God's body. I believe that instead of going along with the program that was written long before our time that places a few in control of the masses, that we should be focused on...

    Why doesn't the laws of the US reflect the "Nation of Christians" it claims to be?

    I'm not so sure about getting things for free. But first let's talk about the "working" class. You said 50% of its working class refuse to work. In order to work, you must find a job. When there are no one hiring because they are more focused on their bottom line, what can you do? It's funny how...

    Matthew 25:41-46 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not...

    Marriage vows - Evil according to God?

    Ok well if that's the case, why have a preacher or someone who is ORDAINED to preside over the union? Why can't I just promise the love of my life that we will be together forever and that consider us to be married? And the scripture was referring to making oaths/vows PERIOD. Why make a vow when...
