    Is Bible alive? Bible talks to you?

    Bob: "The dogma of Christianity says that God has nothing to do with Death. Hence, I am making the direct logical conclusion, that God has not created satan (angel of death)" 1213: "That dogma doesn't seem to come from the Bible." Bob: "It is dogma of Eastern Orthodox Christianity; it is the...

    Animations of Biblically Accurate Angels

    This video popped randomly into my Youtube feed and I thought some of you people here on RF would be interested in the subject. The thread title says it all, really; the video sadly isn't that long, but I find the images and animations really fascinating nevertheless.

    I have just finished reading Judges trying to learn about this religion :) And I feel like I've been through the wringer emotionally with this episode at the end, what is the reason and interpretation ? Does god still behave like this? What about other really evil events like rape?

    Muslims, Bahai's, Christians, Some Hindus, and even a few Jews, quote sayings of Jesus as if they are historical sayings of Jesus himself. Of course most Christians would definitely believe the New Testament has his sayings in some form or another. Some believe they are absolutely verbatim...
