I consider myself an ever growing Christian. I know the Bible is the ordained and inspired Word of God, and I know the history of the apochrapha and Biblical Cannon. But I founf this link, wich is quite informative about some books left out of the Bible and why.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banned_from_the_Bible

Does it concern any of you, as Christians, that we dont have these books to study also, or are you relying on Faith that God made sure all we needed to know got through? Just curious, cause I myself would like to read the missing stuff.

By this logic, Christians should believe that male is superior than female..

I think Islam does not give any sex to their God while in Hinduism the Gods have both sexes........

According to catholism, virgin Mary was sinless. God grace Kept her from the “curse of the original sin”.

If that’s so easy for God then why don’t he do it to all of us? Why did Christ have to come die as atonement for sins?

to portray themselves as somebody that they really aren't by acting as if "I never would say such a thing, or do such a thing"! I guess being on the internet makes them feel inferior to everyone else! What do you think?

why so many people around the world opted to used toilet papers rather than washing everytime they visited the loo's.?is it much cleaner or safer to be that way or is it washing is the best method?.
one thing for certain is people do take showers to clean themselves and if using toilet paper is the best method to clean your utmost important organ,people shouldn't take showers but instead wipe the entire body using it.

Ok, if you love a person a lot. And they mean everything to you and you know you can see this person as someone you spend the rest of your life with is it ok to have sex with them (religiously speaking) cause marriage is just kind of a ceremony and a piece of paper.

The Basis of Jesus’ journey to the underworld(hell) after death is found in the Gospel of Nikodemus, if I am not mistaken.

Can someone tell me where this Gospel is, why is it not in the Bible if it is suppose to be true?

God commanded us to remember the seventh day Sabbath. Why do most Christians not keep this commandment or keep it holy. Most Christians do their on pleasure on that day and wouldn't think twice about working on it. If you break the least of these commandments and teach men to do likewise you will be least in the kingdom of God. We should listen to God and not man that changed this holy day that God sanctified. Why don't more Christians get this. It was one of the first things the Holy Spirit began teaching me. We are not under God's law but they should be written on our hearts and we should want to do what is pleasing to him. If there's the least doubt that this could be true shouldn't we do what God said and not the traditions of men?

Most people know that there are many similarities between Jesus and Krishna, Attis, Dionysys, Osiris and Mithras. These Similarities Includes “virgin birth, dying on cross, godly status, ressurection, etc.

Know tell me, why would God send Jesus to “imitate” these myths (that is if Jesus was meant to die on a cross for atonement of sins)? Wouldn't God then be like a copycat? Surely God would do not want Jesus to have similar qualities to the other “myths” since God is the one true god.

Lets look at the history: As soon as the so-called loving Christians destroyed Rome, they tried to wipe out any sign of traditional religions of the land. Europe was a victim of this hate organization. Where thousands had their heads cut of for not wanting to covert to Christianity. There was a systematic destruction of all the non-Christian religious sites and literature; this went on for over one thousand years. The goal of Christianity was to “Deface all the other religions” Then this holocaust went to new world. Christians wiped out every connection with traditional religions in America, and most of Africa.

Now they try to attack any new religions (eg. Scientology) and they are preventing citizens of the world from learning about their traditional religions that were exterminated by Christianity.

We all know some public schools are jokes...what can be done to encourage the general population to educate themselves outside of school until the system is reformed?

I think people need to be informed that the rest of the world is more modern than they believe. Some Americans even believe Canadians live in igloos and that Africans and people from the West Indies/Caribbean wear grass skirts and live in huts! People also need to read extensively so they can spell properly. Furthermore, the attitude that intelligence is bad desperately needs to be changed. I believe all extracurricular activities like sports, clubs and dances need to be removed and taken over by the local municipality, so that the main focus will be on schoolwork, not the football team or Homecoming.

I dont understand why people say they turned on God, or stopped believing in him because he didn't answer their prayers.
God only answers prayers in accordance to His will. If you, as a Christian, are not supposed to have it, no amount of prayer will change that. And why would he answer them, if you are so easily turned away from him, nothing would ever be good enough.

For instance, when I first became pregnant, I prayed everyday to suddenly not be pregnant. Miscarry if you will, and I prayed and prayed. My daughter is now 10, and the best thing that ever happened to me. God did not give me what I wanted at the time, and wothin a year I saw he gave me exactly what I needed, when I needed it, even though I didn't realize it at the time.

Isn't it possible the unanswered prayer is sometimes the answer?
