When we are read to in Sunday school and in church, often what we hear are the passages of the Old Testament that can be explained away; they were sinners, they were not believers, God sought judgement on them. But what about passages like this?

2 Kings 2:23-24: "And he [Elisha] went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them."

How do you view the passages like this that litter the Old Testament?

What makes me ask this question is that last night I watched a movie "Left Behind" part I and II. To be honest, I am not a person who fears anything, but this movie scared me...

It is a movie about the bible predictions in the bible just before THE RAPTURE and AFTER THE RAPTURE...Please I encourage anyone reading this to look for this movie and watch it...even atheists, I am begging you get this movie.

Can anyone merge the PROPHECIES/PREDICTIONS in the BIBLE with current events in our years?

We believe in Christ as the Son of God, Born of a virgin, conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, was crucified and rose again. We are to strive to live our lives accordingly.

There's this guy at work who has thee worst breath I have ever smelled..and he has always had it. You can smell it down the hall..what's worse, is that you know he's been there, before you get around the corner..and you don't want to know what it's like getting into the same elevator as him....He works in a different department than I do but, No one seems to want to tell him, not even his supervisor....(yet people talk about it behind closed doors)...other than bluntly telling him..how can we make him take the hint?

like tonight I was standing in line for a concert and somebody came up to me and gave me some free tickets because he changed his mind about going to it ... should I have given him some money for them, or would that have been an insult?

If you believe that there's a better existence after this one...& please don't say fear of the unknown because from what I've viewed here folks seem to have very strong opinions about an afterlife.
This isn't meant to be offensive.

when asked a question they just spill out the same verses, and refuse to use their reason. isnt this a sign of being brainwashed?

I just finished watching "Water" an Indian movie about the oppression widows in their society must face. Religious beliefs keep these women (34 million as of 2001) alienated from society, suffering poverty many of which resort to prostitution to survive.

These women are by afflicted by a stigma & religious belief system that keeps them from remarrying. It takes brave individuals to stand up to dysfunctional religious beliefs, even if some "holy" text prescribes such modes of living.

This begs the question, what other things do we believe because a book, cultural, & or tradition tells us so? I once followed more so religious texts than my conscience. My conscience began to pang, so hard that I literally felt like I was drowning. Thank God I listened to the wisdom that was in my heart then perpetuating suffering via legalism.

I encourage all others to do the same by bravely speaking out against any idea, regardless of its source, which causes more suffering than alleviation.
