Although I do not believe in the God of the Bible, I respect the Jews very much. You don't try and gain converts through fear, or threats. Anyway, here are my questions...

How frustrating is it (if at all) to see Christians continually rip verses out of context to try and "prove" the New Testament? And if so, could you please list examples and your rebuttals?

I'm not a Bible scholar but I did read without aid of apologetics because all the contradictions were starting to weigh on me and even the apologetics couldn't agree on everything. Anyway it seemed pretty evident that the OT doesn't teach that the Messiah will be born from a virgin, then come and teach three years, then die, then come back to life, then have a transfiguration and THEN FINALLY the end will come and the Messiah will reign in peace. Wasn't that all suppose to happen at once?

Thanks...

Quip - a witty statement

Both Qura'n and Bible reject the theory of inheritence of sins .. and reject the theory that a man can pay back for the sins of others

I'll post verses from both Qura'n and Torah

Qura'n [53:26]
- Or, has he not been informed of what is in the scriptures of Moses?
- And Abraham who fulfilled his engagements.?
- No soul bears the sins of another soul.
- Every human being is responsible for his own works.
- And everyone's works will be shown.
- Then they will be paid fully for such works.
- To your Lord is the final destiny.

-----------------------------

What does the bible say?

Eze 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

2Ch 25:4 But he slew not their children, but [did] as [it is] written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded,

Reference the following scenario:

If you are about to get hit by a car and I yell out "Look out dude, that car is gonna hit you!" and you move in the nick of time you are eternally grateful to me for saving your life right? You don't criticize me for "telling you what to do" and I'm willing to bet you're not going to just stand there and say, "That's all right, let it hit me. I don't believe in cars."

Why then do people resent it so much when you try to save their eternal life from certain death and destruction? Doesn't it seem like they would be even MORE grateful?

Atheists reject the existence of all gods.

Christians reject the existence of all gods, save one.

Its not the difference between night and day. More like 99,999 and 100,000.

We should figure out a way together to make it a better forum. Many of us have lost our cool when bombarded with ugliness and hatred. Myself included. Praying for the help is certainly first and foremost, but I'm wondering if we can do more?

For our universe to exist, something must transcend every law of physics we know. It had a beginning, thus something came before it. Even if you say our universe came from another universe, something came before that still. You don't get around the problem of something needing to kick off the whole process ever.

How can science claim mastery over faith when the most important questions will never be answered?

I just learned of it the day after. Were you aware that every October 11th is National Coming Out Day? I support National Going Back In Day where you return to the closet but this time getting down on your knees and asking God to forgive you and repent. How do you feel?

Really! People who tell other people to get a life are doing the exact same thing the other person is doing! Do think that if they had a life, they would be on here telling other people to get one? Funny... I could be taking this to literal, but that's the way I am.

i know that they are out there.I will not be iggnorant anymore. Pulling the blanket over my head will not keep them from coming ashore. Instead I choose to confront them as afraid as I might be.

I drove up to the bank where there is an outdoor ATM vestibule, and there was a car pulled up to the curb with a man using the machine. I parked right behind his car and waited for him to finish and leave so I could pull up to his spot. A car pulled up behind me, but then parked in the lot and this black woman got out and walked right behind the guy using the ATM. I got out of my car and politely told her I was next in line, but she insisted that I should have gotten out of my car and waited. It went back & forth, and got heated! Did this woman cut in front of me? or is there a rule that you have to get out of your car and wait? Who was in the wrong?

Why are lesbians called dykes? Is it just slang or did it originate from something specific?
