There are both heaven and hell ones. There are also many where people have witnessed things in detail that happened many miles away from the hospital or surgical room they were in. Some have even accurately told of objects on rooftops that could only be seen from a bird's eye view.

Thanks, Posh for your post that reminded me that I meant to ask this a couple of nights ago, but forgot.

Doctrine that the Christian God is different from the Hebrew God and that the Christian God sent Jesus to rescue the people from the Hebrew God.

The reader will readily agree that things are not always either BLACK or WHITE. Between these two extremes there are various shades of GREY. If you say "Yes" to his question, then it would mean that you are prepared to swallow everything HOOK, LINE and SINKER, from Genesis to Revelation from his Bible. If you respond with a "No" he quickly unhooks himself from the facts you have presented, and rallies support from his co-religionists in the audience with; "You see, this man does not believe in the Bible! What right has he to expound his case from our Book?" With this hydra-like somersault he rests content that he has safely evaded the issue. What is the Muballigh1to do? He has to explain his position vis-a-vis the Bible, as he ought to do.

The Word of God says that there are only two situations in which a man or woman cannot receive forgiveness. The first and most common is when they are in a state of unforgiveness. That is to say that they have been wronged (or sinned against) and they refuse to forgive the person, which we find in Mark 11:25.

The second, which is actually quite a rare occurrence, is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost.

People that question a book that most people believe in or people who believe just becuase they were told to have faith?

Ppl that use science which can be proven over and over again or ppl that agree with a book that science can disprove.

Ppl that can change there mind with new facts or ppl that believe in a book that doesnt change even with new facts and infomation.

What makes him a prince instead of a king? Why is it when she dies Charles becomes King and not Philip?

Christians, on my last question I got many similar answers, but I got one answer debunked all the other answers, which raised my curiosity even more more . This is from one person.

1. Roman records prove Jesus existed.

False. There are no contemporary records that Jesus existed. The earliest possible reference to Jesus by a non-Christian was about 60 years after he supposedly died by a Jewish historian. Most scholars think it is mostly a forgery.

2. 500 people witnessed the risen Christ.

Wrong, one person (Paul) SAID that 500 people witnesed Christ. Even Mormanism has 11 sworn affidavits saying Joseph Smith was telling the truth. In this case, Paul only claims 500 people saw him.

3. The authors of the bible testify to the miracles.

There is a problem here. We have no idea who they are. Mark, Luke, Matthew and John are names that were chosen in 180 AD, about 100 years after the fact.

Mark never met Jesus, neither did Luke. Since Matthew copied from Mark, it makes sense he didn't see him either. John was written almost 70-80 years after the fact and there is no reason to believe he met Jesus either. Paul admits he never met Jesus.

Pretty crappy witnesses.

4. The bible says he performed miracles

I shouldn't have to explain why this is a stupid reason.

5. Faith

If I have "faith" that a unicorn exists in my backyard I am crazy. If I have "faith" a man walked on water 2,000 years ago I am a Christian. Does this make sense to anyone?

6. No one would die for a lie

Many early Mormons died for a lie. Muslims die for a lie every day, and have since the beginning. The Bob Jones cult committed mass suicide. David Koresh got his folks to nearly do the same.

This claim is a bald-faced lie...many contemporaries of false god-claimers have given their lives.

7. The Apostles were martyred for their beliefs?

Oh really? Please point out in the bible where it says this happened! (Hint, it's not in there). The stories about the martyrdom of apostles were written about 200 AD, at a time when Christians really were being killed, so they wrote stories that reflected that. None of those stories are in the bible. There is no reason to think these folks died of old age.

eh...that's enough. It should be obvious enough without addressing every point.

Do you think drag queens put women down to assert their sexuality or is it just a camp form of light entertainment?
Do you think drag just purports the 'femme' stereotype of the limp wristed darling or is there a deeper underlying social commentary on hetero-normative conditioning?
Is drag a form of satire, a political rights 'protest' aimed at flaunting homosexuality in the faces of bigots or am I reading too much into drag as a performance piece?

Yeah, I know, I'm going to hell for this one, but it's the only way I think I can explain Jesus and God being the same person.

Odindmar is not my real name, but you are still talking to me. Odindmar and are the same person. Odindmar is made digital!

Does that make sense?

"I was like, so mad and then you know what, he looked at me like he's so innocent. I don't know why he would do that, I mean, like, it's all my fault"--a typical conversation in a public cafe.

We hear it everywhere.
Some of us use it everyminute we talk.
And yet it is a simple word with four letters:
LIKE

Most of the time it's unnecessary and completely optional. Most of us are aware of it and know that we don't sound smart when we use it that much, but yet when we use it, we feel so great. Why? Any educated guesses?
Or personal opinion?
