to me how they reconcile Matthew 3:16&17 where Jesus is being baptized by John in the Jordan, and the Holy Spirit descends and lands upon Him like a dove, and then the Father speaks to Him from heaven saying, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."

Also, why is Jesus referred to as the "Son of God" in practically every book of the New Testament. Also, why does Jesus refer to God as "Father." Also, why is the Hebrew word "Elohim" translated as "God," which is plural. Further more, what did Jesus mean in John 10:30 when He said, "I and Father are one."

I am asking a genuine question here, because I can't understand how someone can say that they are a Christian, and that they believe what the Bible says, and then say also that they don't believe in the Trinity. I am aware that the term, "Trinity" is not found in the Bible, but the concept is every where you turn in scripture. Thanks.

Do you consider the advice of Gamaliel?
At Acts 5:35-39:
: “Men of Israel, pay attention to yourselves as to what you intend to do respecting these men. 36 For instance, before these days Theu´das rose, saying he himself was somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined his party. But he was done away with, and all those who were obeying him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37 After him Judas the Gal·i·le´an rose in the days of the registration, and he drew off people after him. And yet that man perished, and all those who were obeying him were scattered abroad. 38 And so, under the present circumstances, I say to you, Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; 39 but if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them;) otherwise, you may perhaps be found fighters actually against God.”
Is it not wiser to let God weed out false teachers than for us to judge?

As opposed to being understanding, and trusting God, that bcause he is love, holy, just, ect... , he will judge people rightly according to how much knowledge they have, their heart and life, for example.
At the end of the day, are you not simply just being unwilling to be understanding and trusting toward God? I mean if judges in our legal system have to know many things about the law, and consider many things in their effort to make a just decision, how much more is God going to do that? I think skeptics are wrong for not trusting God regarding eternal judgement, sin, hell, ect... .

I know it is unfair but there is no Karma. People can do what they want and nothing bad will happen to them as a result. Were you raped? If you do not exact revenge against the perpetrator of that rape do not count on cosmic forces to do it. Take control people. Live, for goodness sake start living your short pathetic lives.

I can speak two, English and Latin (though its a "dead" language its still useful)....most people in my family can speak at least two, though they are all different (like, my uncle speaks English and French but my other uncle speaks English and Spanish)......but the person who speaks the most is my mom's boss. He speaks 5 languages.....Hebrew, Arabic, English, Indian, and Spanish. So, how many can you speak or somebody you know speak?

I'm 18 year old male and I don't care very much for sports.

Here is the question, Football season starts today. Recently last week some guy just started talking to me about Football, players and plays and all that. He asked did I like I football, I said yes, not wanting to look bad or anything. I just kept saying sure, right, conversations pieces. But I really didn't have a clue as to what he was saying. Other guys have ask what I think about this player and what. Should I just say I don't watch football.

When I was younger, I went down south to vist family. I saw some of my uncles, they asked what sports I liked, I told them, I didn't really like any and they just looked at me funny. You know when some one give you a funny look.

Should I just say when people ask "I don't look at sports". Or should I try and fake it? Or should I actually try and look at them. I just find it boring. Help.

I've tried some translation websites but none of them make sense.

Te busque de bajo de las piedras y no te-encontre
En la manana fria y en la noche te-busque
Hasta enloquecer
Pero tu llegaste a mi vida como una luz
Sanando las heridas de mi corazon
Haciendo me-sentir vivo otra vez

thanks for your help :)

Do you rape children? No? Why not? Is it because you do not want to go to hell? No. You do not rape children because you have no desire to. So obviously a person who does rape children is mentally different from you and I. How can you punish someone for doing something that is in their nature to do? Granted these people must be removed from society because devience is dangerous and it is contagious but I do not think these people go to hell.
