1) Trinity is taken from [1 John 5:7 (King James Version)], has been used sometimes to prove that Trinity is taught in the Gospels. The verse says: "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one".

2) "Jesus as Son of God" is taken from [John 3:16] has been used to prove that Jesus is Only Son of God. The verse says: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son".

3) "Jesus as God" is taken from [John 10:30] has been used to prove that Jesus is God. The verse says: "I and my Father are one".

Yet, these verses have been removed from the Revised Standard Version of the Bible (RSV) by Christian scholars of the highest eminence backed by cooperating Christian denominations, as it was an interpolation, a later addition to the text of the statement.

Please comment. Thank you.

Judges 16 (1-3) Samson and the harlot at Gaza.

Now Samson went to Gaza and saw a harlot there, and went in to her. When the Gazites were told, "Samson has come here!" they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city. They were quiet all night, saying, "In the morning, when it is daylight, we will kill him." And Samson lay low till midnight; then he arose at midnight, took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two gateposts, pulled them up, bar and all, put them on his shoulders, and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron.

I am an unbaptized publisher and the first door I preached at the guy slammed the door on me.I couldn't help but smile. Many people think that by saying negative things will make someone stop preaching. I know this has worked in some cases. But whenever I hear something negative it actaually encourages me. Does this have the same effect on you? I mean this fulfills the prophecy when Jesus said that people will hate and persucute his diciples because of his name.

Isn't faith just believing is something for no good reason other than thats what you were taught to believe?

There is not evidence, there is no proof, and as long as you don't ask questions and just believe on faith. ONLY THEN can you be good christians.

What started this mentality, it sounds like its out of the dark ages to get people to never question their religion that controlled them oh so well.

Is this English sentence correct?
"I do it everyday to study English hard."

If it is correct, why would you say so?

I mean "I study English hard everyday" is much easier.

Heres a little fun facts:

1)In order for the said rain to come down in 40 days, 20 feet would have to fall her hour.

2) There are over 1,000,000 known animals now. More animals are being discovered. How can such a small boat hold over 2,000,000 animals?

3) Lions didnt each the Gazzeles? WHY?

4) Dinosaurs were never on the Ark... theres no fossil evidence providing it.

5) In order to feed every animal, Noah would have to spend 100+ days just to feed every animal once. Snakes can last... a month? What aniaml can stand 1 year?

6) Most fish are adapted to salt water environments. If so much rained diluted it, the fish would litterally explode through osmosis.

7) Noah and his family were WHITE. How did asians, blacks, and indians somehow come from a white man?

8) Theres a lack of wood in the desert where he lived.... did he make a sand boat?

9) It would take well over a year to march every animal in the boat.

10) Somehow water came from no where

Please answer my questions.....

OK...Sex is definitely a Biblical issue. For those that are married it is actually spoken very beautifully in the Bible. Sex outside of marriage, however, is considered immoral.

Now, for two Christians who are married, and who wish to glorify God through their sharing of one another intimately...how far can they go? What are the limits? I know what my convictions are, but I want your opinion, thoughts, comments, etc. Let me know what you think?

What proof do you have for intelligent design? The bible isn't proof, thats a book written over 2000 years ago and God won't come to earth to verify its legitimacy. The banana was full of seeds and difficult to eat until humans used artificial selection to make it into what it is today. Seriously, look up a wild banana.

So what proof is there for ID? So far the only so called "proof" that I have seen is you trying to disprove evolution. Which has failed for the last 150 years. If something came around which proved that evolution was false, it would be thrown out and the person who made that discovery would become one of the most famous in the world. That is how science works.

Saying evolution is a theory means nothing, a theory is the strongest ideology in science, gravity is a theory, atoms are a theory.

So, what proof is there for ID?

When you see a girl you know and like as a friend, why is it that she can greet you lively, with a huge smile, but you return an emotionless acknowledgment?

This happens to me a lot. I know that it's not that they don't like me because they always stop me to talk, but what is the reason for such an emotionless reaction?

Does the girl seem fake if she smiles when she says hello or something?
