It is my belief that if you can't explain something you learned from the Bible IN YOUR OWN WORDS, then you don't really know what you're talking about. It is as though you were merely spitting out unchewed, unrefined scripture at people instead of telling them something you have absorbed and made part of your daily activities.

Case in point: Do you say, "Here comes the train! CHOO CHOO!!" every time you put a spoon full of food in your mouth? Do you still keep your hands at '2 and 10' when you drive your car? Do you still wear a daiper, or are you good without one? So, why should I believe that you understand what you're talking about as far as the Bible is concerned if you still think the scripture says it better than you?

Any time you defend your beliefs by quoting scripture, it's like you're running to GOD and telling him that I disagree with you and expecting him to smite me down for it. Do you think GOD's word is so weak that it needs to be enforced at gunpoint?

Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the life, and no one can come to the father, but through me"
Thus, he is the only way to God. Im talking about Jesus who died for our sins and restored our place in heaven if we believe in him.
All other great religious teachers (buddha, mohammad, etc.) only claimed to be teachers or prophets, but Jesus claimed he knew God since he was God. His 300 miracles are enough to support his claims. No other person could do what he did.
Early roman historian Cornelius Tacitus (a.d 55-100) supported New Testament claims about Jesus' life also Jewish historian Flavius Josephus (a.d 38-100+) to name some sources

There are over 33,000 different Protestant religions with opposing doctrines that all call themselves "Christian".

I want to have a chart that shows the difference in the teaching of each one and the time table of when those changes took place in comparison with the other 32,999 Protestant religions.

If two ugly people produce children..does it sort of cancel the ugliness out..and mean that they will produce an attractive child? Kind of like..two negatives multiplied equals a positive? Please describe applicable experiences.

some friends and i have recently visited a haunted train crossing bridge and went there one night with a digital recorder to just see if we could get some voices of the ghost who haunts the area, just for fun. but after we reviewed the recording we can distinctly hear the womans voice whisper into the microphone saying 'I'd like your *** to burn'

i would like to know if anyone has any tips on recording or speaking to the dead. obviously this spirit is not a friendly one so if there are any precautions that might help us out too that would be great


anything at all will really help us out, we're planning on going back and need to be ready

I have seen some really absurd and illogical religious beliefs. To be frank, I don't buy it. Am I going to get bashed for this question?

When attending various churches it has been my experience that much attention is given to the same religious rituals; reading verses, singing songs and collecting donations from the parishioners. I've yet to hear a sermon about the importance of brotherhood, tolerence and loving thy neighbor.

Do you ever study different religions, even if you don't follow them? If you have, good for you. If you haven't, I highly suggest it. You'd be surprised at what you can learn. Personally, I find Buddhism fascinating, even if I don't practice it. I took a seminar class on it in school last year, and I'm very glad I did. I think it gives you a much broader worldview, and helps you better understand other cultures, to a certain extent. And it won't necessarily convert you unless you want it to, if that's what's holding you back ^_^.

Every war seems to be a religous war. Would the world be more peaceful if God and Allah were taken out of religion. Maybe tear up th Quran and Bible. They and their religons aren't making the world any better.
