Many Christians believe "The" Bible must be taken literally, word for word. How?

Where?
The Bible began as a compilation of old Jewish texts (the Old Testament) with a few Christ-ian writings (the New Testament). BTW - Muslims believe they have the "Newer" than "New Testament" words of God.

What?
There were literally hundreds of different versions, in different languages, of the Old Testament's Jewish texts floating around. The same for the texts gathered into the New Testament (and they were chosen from only the more "acceptable" ones around).

Basically Christians had all kinds of versions, in various languages, and argued over which were The "Truth".

Why?
So a bible was first compiled in 302 A.D. (382 years post Jesus) by Pope Damasus's secretary, Jerome, to make a CONSISTANT version for everyone because the arguements were hampering the Church with in-fighting. (Jerome was not a professional translator -btw).

The first print of a bible was 1516 A.D.... in Greek.

I've been doing Geneology for my mother's family and have recently discovered that our family crest has the phrase "One must live." I'm intrested in getting this translated into Latin for a tattoo.

So, what is "One must live" in Latin?

Please, only answer if you're completely certain. I'm planning on getting this inked on my body, and I want to make sure it is correct.

Apparently this phenonemon has been witnessed from north to south in this great country of ours. Just yesterday I saw the famous "pair" hanging out at a ice cream shop.

...and not have to worry about being called cheesy?

A Catholic staple:
Peace be with you... and also with you. No, Peace be with YOU!... No, may it also be with YOU!...

You've gotta love some of these prayer requests too:
Everyone, please say a prayer for my son little Johnny. He's been wetting his bed a lot and feels a bit insecure about it. So please pass this prayer request on to everyone so that little Johnny can get over his bladder inadequacies. Thank you!

It seems to me that doing that is like admitting that you are lower and worth less than men. Will this religion ever evolve along with feminist ideals or will it always be this way? Also, what exactly does it say in the Koran that makes women cover up?

Spirit vs. Flesh

2006-06-20 08:35:19 · 29 answers · asked by Anonymous in Religion & Spirituality

what I mean is that boys would be learning how to build and fix things and other tradionally male things and girls would take home economics classes and learning about what a woman should be. career choices would be segregated based on sex. Males working as a fashion designer or any other traditonally female job would be sent to specialed training schools to learn a traditonally male job and females who are in a traditonally male job would also be re-trained to adopt a more feminine job. gays and lesbians would be sent to ex gay ministries in an effort to change their sexual orientation. Bible study classes would be offered to the students and adults at local churches. those who participate will not have to pay taxes. those who would refuse to participate in the gender role education or training would be taxed heavily and be expelled from school or be fired from their job. do you think a law like this will bring harmony and normalcy back to america?
