If I AM is a name for God as He told Moses (English translation of His Name), can this be a name? In fact, I would like God just be known as God and is nameless. With this understanding, I dare say God has also revealed Himself to the Chinese through the Chinese characters, Chinese custom of worship, and in the interpretation of the old name of China as the God's Land. There are two writings which could have contained remarks regarding the revelation of God: Shanhaijing and Daodejing. Chinese characters were formed or coined from abstract pictures. The current forms of characters were developed or evolved through several centuries and in their original forms they seem to have captured the picture of God and humans and how He related to His people at that time through the pictures captured in those characters. The importance is not what I said above, but if God is nameless, any religions or faith that insist Jehovah or Yahweh as the only names of God will have to make a rethink.

Do chinese people hold sex in high regard or is it frowned upon in china to talk about it or what? Is it a religious matter?

I know a few chinese folk and all are not comfortable on the subject. Also when out in pubs and clubs chinese girls do not seem to be keen on pulling and/or one night stands.

I pretty sure this whole thing has nothing to do with the one child policy.

If yes, then where was He buried, and if no, what happens to His body when He died.

I am a Muslim, and I believe Jesus (pbuh) was not killed, He was replaced with a Man whom God made him resembles Jesus (pbuh) and God raised Jesus (pbuh) to Heaven.

Floor solutions, wall solutions, entrance and exit solutions .... the other day I even noticed a job advert for a 'solutions architect' (customer enquiries officer) and a 'solutions-searching solution' (newspaper selling advertising space). Will solutions eat themselves?

why do all ethnic races want to look like white people, is it because of our beauty.

japanese people get eyelid surgery, black people get skin bleaching and hair straightening.

Why the juvenile behavior and questions which everyone knows are disingenious and childish jokes or canned arguments you read out of the most recent humanistic, anti-christian book on secularism? Do Christians or people of faith come to your threads with such harrasment? I would not know becuase I do not and would not lower myself to such tactics. But curious if there are any adults with original sound reason for their antithesis to this thread or just children being silly despite their chronological age.

The fat Buddha is the future Buddha according to Chinese tradition. Buddha wasn't even Chinese, he was from India. Buddha was athletic and a master martial artist. Please people, get educated before you start mocking Buddha. Take a look at this link and see for yourself.

If the religious people are supposed to be tolerant of others, why do they spend so much time suppressing and concentrating on what Homosexuals are up to. Why do they even care?

seeing that textual critics can't agree on which works of Shakespear, if any, were written by Shakespear; isn't it rediculous to want people to believe that a textual critic descerned the number of groups of authors, their petnames for the divine, and their motivations for writing after 3-4000 years.
