Since marriage was considered to have been created by God. Does an Atheist fake his vows or what?

Never in the Bible have I seen a line that binds the Son of Man as Jesus. In fact, curiously, in the same sentence Jesus refers to the Son of Man in third person and to him self in the first.


Matthew 19:28
Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Also it is clear that the Holy Spirit is not the Son of Man in Matthew.

Matthew 12:32
Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

Also the Son of Man is referred ad nauseam in Ezekial even know it was known in Isaiah that Jesus would be known as Immanuel. Why not say Immanuel instead of Son of Man?

Is the Son of Man, someone else? Is there yet another fourth Divine entity compassing a quartet and not a trinity?

sitting next to you is a young man (we will use a man as women homosexuals or lesbians are more widely acceptable, don't ask me why) who has developed homosexual feelings, and is confused as this is in conflict with his Christianity. This young man goes home and hangs himself, and in his suicide not implicates that he killed himself because he was homosexual and had heard how his own congregation felt about them. How would you feel about yourself? A man takes his life because of your pettyness.
Since I am sure that no one has ever been in a situation like this, I am sure to get answers like "that would never happen". I know it's a stretch but try to use your imagination.

Honestly, I believe, if Christians read the Quran they would better understand the teachings of Jesus.

Dont take this as me being racist, but here's the thing. u no how just recently a cartoonist drew a picture depicting Muhammed? and a bunch of Muslims killed him and his family? well ppl talk about christianity and god and christ badly every day, but nothing happens in return. if religious faith rubs on how good of a person you are, does that make muslims better than christians? or does it just mean how proud they are. if so, why are christians not as "proud"? why won't they kill somebody for making fun of god? or for ultimately not being christian at all? is it considered religious persecution when the muslims killed that man who lived in Iraq who wanted to convert to Christianity? if so, is that ok in the muslim religion?

I've been reading Churchill's "The Birth of the Britain" and came across a passage on John Wyclif and the Lollards (the first British heresy). Cross-checking "Lollards" with the Catholic Encyclopaedia I came across a statement that in 1401 England passed a law granting the church the power to identify heretics, who were to be handed over to the state to be burned at the stake. The CE claimed this was "merely the application to England of the common law of Christendom."

In the case of the Lollards, they were burned for claiming the Eucharist was nothing more than "a mouthful of bread".

That got me wondering about today's christianity.

Given the power the church had over the state, and through the state: the people, to terrorize people into supporting the state and church through the threat of the stake, why would you favour an end to the division between church and state? Who would you wish to see burned: Unbelievers? Heretics? And who should judge them on Earth?

Very serious question here, because, if you take the time to understand Islam, you will learn that for insecure types, like American Taliban Johhny Bin Walker or huge whale woman, Islam has an appeal.

One way of understanding Islam is to listen to and read the venom and hate they speak for western cultural norms...often it reads like something the jealous loner in the back of the class would say to his beatnik friends.

To the insecure man or woman, Islam is a pefect fit. Your friends are ready made in a neat little religious community setting...just show up to the mosque and speak the religious-speak.

Your mate is easily bartered for in many Islamic countries, no need to try and actually impress anyone or, God forbid, "compete".

Islam is like the great filter for the worlds insecure people, and boy, they are pissed at us still....like some nightmare version of "revenge of the demonic nerds".

I noticed that whenever the bible stance on homosexuality is mentioned gays and lesbians are always quick to accuse someone of hating and discriminating against them. That is like saying I hate all people who drink alcohol and engage in pre-marital sex because it goes against my beliefs. Sounds like a pretty stupid accusation doesn't it? Of course it does.

humbled fat and small.
A little lady sing to me
I couldn't see at all."
2."Death, that hath 'd the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:
Thou art not conquer'd; beauty's ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And death's pale flag is not advanced there."

4."O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell,
Let it not be among the jumbled heap
Of murky buildings: climb with me the steep,
Nature's observatory ,whence the dell,
In flowery slopes, its river's crystal swell,
May seem a span."
5."O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being,
Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing."
