After John Wycliffe translated the Bible into English the next person to do it was William Tyndale. He was only able to finish the New Testament and the first five books of the Old testament by 1530. By order of the priesthood Tyndale was burned at the stake for translating the Scriptures on Oct, 6, 1536.

Why didn't the priesthood want the the English speaking world to be able to read the Bible?

People in places like New York and California are very open minded when it comes to religion....but in the Southern cities are much more hostile to any doubting of their religion...people in the South claim to be patriots to the U.S but oppose anything that goes against their religious beliefs..I thought the U.S was the land of free speech!

For this, he was excommunicated, and after death, his bones were burned by order of the pope.

Why would the pope be upset about the Bible being translated into English?

I've been dating a guy for over a month. We've gone out on a few dates and talked over the phone and online. We were initially attracted to each other physically, but I don't feel as if we know each other well. I have suggested things to do to get to know him more, but It seems as if his is too busy or he has other plans. He says he is interested but he wants to take it slow. He is the kind of guy who dates one person at a time, which I respect. I really like the guy but I am wondering how long I should wait for him to figure out if he is ready for a relationship? and what is the consensus on dating more than one person?

Gen 7:23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained [alive], and they that [were] with him in the ark.

I posted this question. I had never heard of this practice and just wanted to know. Look at the answers. I was not insulting anyone. Why is it that Christian are insulted all of the time here, but I can not ask a honest question about Islam or its culture without it being taken the wrong way?? Maybe the question itself is an insult because I have heard that you should never ask a person from the Middle East about their family, it is an invasion of their privacy or something. (Whereas in the U.S. it is considered polite to ask how your wife or mother is, etc.) If we can not ask questions, how will we ever learn about each others culture?

I know this is shocking coming from a black person but why can't we just accept that slavery occured and move on. We are never going to get anywhere if thats all that one can continously bring up. It was a horrible thing that occured and yes racism still ocurrs and we should deal with that, but alot of people I believe use slavery and "the white man" as a scapegoat for everything. We are never going to get anywhere as a society, if we cannot forgive and move on and deal with the real issues.
P.S: Whatever retalation you throw at me will never change my views, and if that bothers you honestly too bad.

As far as I can reason, there must be a god. When pondering this question, you just get into a repeating pattern. Such as "if two meteors colliding created earth, who made the meteors?" etc. etc. Basically, in the end, there must have been one single creator.

However, I am not a fan of organized religion. It stuns me that so many follow it so intensely. Out of the infinite amount of religions that have been created, what makes people think that theirs is 'right'. How can you honestly believe completely in the bible when it so contradicts itself...how can god love everyone, yet send some to eternal torture in hell...

Now I am not looking for a lesson on the bible. I am simply wondering, in your opinion, what is god and why do/dont you believe in him/her/it?

Since the question at hand is redefining marriage?

So if it's between consenting adults who "love each other", sky's the limits....

How would one be able to defend one and not the other?

all this superstition has been creeping me out lately. My friend told me that,during vacation, a spirit tried to escape through the ouija board by tying to make her break one of the "rules". The spirit also admitted that it was a pervert
do you guys believe in the board? or do you think its bs

Please spell the words out (don't just type the numbers). Is it 'dos mil y siete'?

Also, how would you say '2010'? In English, one would say two thousand ten, while another would say twenty-ten. Is Spanish the same way?

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

¿Cómo se dice "2007" en español? y 2010 también?

*What does God think of "missionary dating"?*
& then it goes on to a letter :

I met this guy I really like. The other day, I found out he is a Jehovah's Witness. I know it's probably wrong for me to see him, but I was wondering if there could be a possibility of me changing his religion. I am scared he will go to hell if I don't. Can you help me?
