Have you ever played "telephone" (also refered to as Chinese Whispers)? When played in a classroom environment, one person comes up with a short phrase or very short story, then whispers it into the ear of the person next to them. The story or phrase continues around the class until it reaches the last person, who speaks what they "heard" out loud. Everyone laughs because the finished version is always way different than how it started. It only takes a class of less than thirty people to distort what was originally said.

Now take the Bible. This book has been translated countless times over centuries. There are over 2,000 Christian sects that interpret the Bible differently. There are many people who do not even read the Bible and choose to interpret it on a personal level.

If one short phrase told in a small classroom can be warped in the span of fifteen minutes, how can the original meaning of the Bible have survived? How can it possibly be accurate?

but, could that mean, having faith and believing that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior? Does it say anywhere in the Bible that there will be one Religion? ..I know it says you will reconize them by there fruits..but there again...that doesn't mean its one group of people..
( I wasn't going to ask any more questions because I kept getting confused..but a man on here helped me to see things in the right way..)

I'm a shy person. I always worry about being "presentable" in public ... I'm not a vain person at all, it's just that I worry about small things at the wrong times. I get really nervous in big public areas when I'm being stared at for example. I don't have an anxiety attack or anything, I just feel uncomfortable and don't know how to react.

WHAT IS THE BEST DAY OF THE WEEK

2007-06-15 11:13:55 · 22 answers · asked by gorge san 2 in Valentine's Day

Knowing that God, as defined by the Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Bahai Faith, etc.) is:

Omnipotent - all powerful
Omniscient - all knowing
Omnibenevolent - all loving
Omnipresent - everywhere at once

Is it conceivable that God has failed to get his/her message across?

Consider this: according to www.adherents.com, only 51% of the people on this planet believe in God as defined by the Abrahamic religions. If God intends for "his children" to return home someday, and half of them never make it, every day, every year, every century, what does that say about God's capabilities? Did he make a mistake in choosing to dictate his words through the Bible, centuries ago, and not provide any follow up?

If you get a 51% on a school paper, what grade do you get?

have I woken up?
I freely admit that I want to believe in God and Jesus' salvation as I'm afraid of death. I look at my son and I despair at the thought of his death being the end for him.
I've saw things I've called Miracles, I've experienced things I've called miracles, but as time goes by I begin to rationalise those things to myself and find that I write them off. "I was too emotional at the time" or, "I'm open to be persuaded and have let myself be fooled."
I've even spoken in tongues and can honestly say I don't know if it's a spiritual language or manifest nonsense.
I definitely do not subscribe to the belief that all faith is sinister and that Christianity is the bogey man in the shadows. This is because the people I've met who move in those circles genuinely want to server others. They feed and clothe the poor, they speak out for those who have no voice. However, is Christianity a forum for those with 'modern guilt' exorcising their own personal demons? I want to believe.

Do you honestly think if it were, say, members of the Winthrop Basketball team (primarily Black college team in the south) that were alleged to have committed lude acts at a team party, that they'd be free right now? Do you really think there would be an outcry of sympathy for them and a thorough investigation would have taken place. Be honest in your answers. I know this question may upset some people. It is the culture that this country perpetuates.............division based on color.

they both are "keeping track" of whether we are noddy or nice

they both require a LOT of "faith"

they both will reward us for being good, punish us for being bad (coal in the stocking)

they both descend from the sky...magically

they both are older, white males (at least that is how they are most often portrayed)

they both are supposed to me omnicient

so...
what do you think?

p.s. i am not critisizing anyones belief system. I am just asking a question because I love to see and hear different perspectives and world views.

peace......

Once again we have the Big Brother house filled with people whose first language is apparently English, but in order to understand half of what is being said, I have to enable subtitles.
In the last Celebrity Big Brother, the only person with a proper understanding of English diction and grammar was a person who was born in India and had learned English, without ever injecting "like" or "you know?” into a sentence. Even more noticeable was that she actually finished sentences and didn't leave it hanging, unfinished, followed by "you know what I mean?"
I think BB is a good example to everyone just how bad the British education system has become, when our own people cannot even speak our native language. This time around it seems to have happened again. The only person I have no difficulty in understanding was born in Greece and has been taught English - Gerry, what a scholar!
