How come no one else has been able to walk on water, or do any of that other magical stuff? Were they magicians, or superhero's of some sort? Please help me understand.

Evidently, I am probably not going to make it to heaven. So from your perspective, what happens after you die? Do you just rot and thats it?

I've been thinking and praying about some questions I posted earlier and am being convicted that what I spouted was not very christ honoring and nor respectful of others. What is the best way to apologize? Should I go into additional details and apologize, or just delete the question. Since I know it's not possible to contact each person and not everyone who reads the next apology post will have seen the previous issue, what is the best way to apologize?

It is a fact that statistically men prefer brunettes. Why does it matter so much. Afterall, if you are a brunette it would be very easy to dye your hair blonde and vice versa.

If you are a Christian, you most likely believe that your god has given us free will. Yet throughout history, "god's men" have take it upon themselves to legislate morality and curb people's free will, instead of just informing them about the consequences of their actions. An example of this is euthanasia. It's my life and my free will. What right do people have to people have interfere with my God-given free will based on their unverified religious beliefs?

What right do mere men have to reduce the free will of others?

Weather it be a teacher, my parents or even a friend.
When ever I have done something wrong or have been accused of something I try to explan myself and they either interupt me or say they don't want to hear it. Are they doing this because they know if I explain, they could be proved wrong?

300 hundred years before Jesus came to earth, Jewish scribes went to Alexandria, Egypt to translate a Jewish Bible into Greek form. As my question says on top, why did the translators use "kurios" (which means lord, possessor, owner) instead of "theos" (which means god)? It all comes down to Romans 10:9 (NIV) which states:

"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord (kurios)," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

(Paranthesis mine) Paul is the one who wrote this great statement by the Holy Spirit. Paul being a Jew, and used to seeing things in the Septuagint, was familiar with God's many names having the greek word "Lord" in place of it. Is it any suprise that when he was converted to Christianity, that he said by the Spirit,"You must confess Jesus is Lord to be saved" that it may mean to confess that Jesus is God? Knowing why the translators did what they did has a big impact on what it means to confess Jesus is Lord.

Jesus is the Son of God. Some people believe He was a prophet, some believe He was just a good man and some think that He didn't exist at all.. Well, the truth is, He is who He said He was..
*Did you know that he was the only famous prophet who actually proclaimed Himself as God's Son? Since no one else claimed that title, then He is what He claims to be.

We seem to have far exceeded the optimum human population for the eco-system to continue sustaining mankind. And we continue to expand in numbers. Global warming is one of the results which is pushing us on the downward path to extinction. Another fifty years and mankind will be staring annihilation in the face.

Referring obviously to the big bang. How do you get symetry and order from an explosion--that is quite contrary to the laws of physics?
Also how would you obtain such rational and symetrical results from random evolution from bacteria?
It really seems quite too good to be true. I find this random chance theory, much harder to support and believe in, than faith in God, which seems to come naturally, man has always naturally believed in God, Why? And if you ask why my God, I ask that you refute the evidence of historical accuracy, and deny that the book of Revelation does not paint a very good picture of the world's current events.
But I would appreciate your views?
