The Bible does not say that it is a sin to have sex before marriage. In Exodus, chapter 20, we read the Ten Commandments, and are told that we should not commit adultery. Adultery however is not defined as simply having sex outside of marriage. It's defined as having sex with a married person. Nothing is said to prohibit sexual relations between two unmarried people. In fact, if we look in the book of Leviticus, we are given a list of every situation in which we should not have sex. We're not to have sex with married people, or with family members, or with animals. We are not, however, prohibited from having sex with an unmarried person who is not in our family.

The Septuagint Old Testament is the same Old Testament that Catholics still use today.
This is a quote from a very PROTESTANT website:
"Luke 1:27 This Greek word parthenos (virgin) is used in Isa. 7:14 inThe Septuagint, the Greek Old Testament translation which Jesus read and quoted."
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=49&version=45#en-AMP-24920
But, the first Protestants rejected that version because of a post Jesus era council (Javneh in the year A.D. 90) of Jewish leaders (the ones who rejected Jesus as Messiah) decided at that time that they were not going to use the Septuagint Old Testament anymore.
The first Protestants rationalized that it was because the 7 books that they threw out were not in Hebrew.
However, the recent discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has revealed ancient Hebrew writings of those 7 books. But the Protestants still reject them. The way I see it, if the Septuagint Old Testament was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me.

Jesus is shown in the Scriptures as being created in Rev. 3:14; Col. 1:15; Prov. 8:22 and Psa. 2:7. If He was created, He can't be God, since God is eternal.
ANSWER: (A) Rev. 3:14 states that Jesus is "the beginning of the creation of God." The word translated "beginning" is ARCHE in the Greek. It also means ORIGIN besides BEGINNING. Since ORIGIN and SOURCE are synonymous, we can now understand why this verse reads in the N. A. B. "the SOURCE of God's creation." This verse doesn't show Jesus is created, but that He is the Creator! After all, since Jesus created EVERYTHING that was created (Col. 1:16), how could He be part of His own creation?

Hi, I went to the DMV to get as spaceship lisence plate and was willing to pay for it. I went up to the lady at the counter ( I know she was envious of me) and asked to buy the plate. She said they were out of them but there were 5 of them on the wall and I demanded her to give me one and she screamed at me and I punched the hoe in the face. She leaped over the counter and tackled me to the ground and punched me in the face, then she leaped back and got one of the nice spaceship plates I wanted and swatted me across the face with it breaking 2 teeth .
Everyone in line was just staring and laughing and not helping me. So I tried to run and one of the workers there dragged me back in and dropped a computer on my leg broke it and she jumped on my arm and broke it. I was on the ground in agony and when I looked up a kid was pissing all over my face and it burned me so bad because of the cuts I had. when he was done he hocked a little and spit on me. I cant talk anymore about this :(

Would you run or would you be so scared that you'd freeze in place? This is a hypothetical question, so please answer as such. Also, we're talking here about someone who's been dead for a couple of days, not just a couple of minutes.

In TV and everywhere, everything that goes out is pretty much White americans, or maybe i can say Black americans too.. but us of another kind, are not represented and when other foreigners think of america they always think of White people. Do you feel good about this? do you feel special? I don't know, but always when foreigners talk to me they make me feel like they just think i'm a minority who is not part of the society, i'm like alittle dirt trash to them. While in their mind, they have the idea that whites are the real owners, the real people. Just wondering how you guys feel.

So, my son is entering "full-time" kindergarden (which we have to pay for, because only part-time kindergarden is free in Indiana), and they consider 8am to 2:30, full time! Then I realized that all throughout my schooling (as i am a latch-key kid) i got home before MY parents! why is that? Can't there be a better way?

ive seen alot of questions asking why atheists attack those who beleive in god (mainly christians). while i do not speak for all christins i do speak for myself. here is my response
"i refuse to allow the absurdities, atrocities, hatred and commandments of murder inherent in the christian religion to be propagated in this technological and socially mature(ish) world community.
i also refuse to allow the propagators of said fantasies use the academies of science, my tools for discecting this thing we call the universe, as a way to validate them and give credit to something which hs no credit to begin with. while this attempt is futile at best i still insist on not allowing them access.
it is for those reasons i am steadfast in my opposition to christianity"
so yeah, do you understand what that means, if you do does it answer your question of "why are atheists here if they dont beleive in god?"
as stated this does not speak for all atheists or nonbelivers but it does speak for me.
