Egypt would never again rule over nations
Bible passage: Ezekiel 29:15
Written: between 593-571 BC
Fulfilled: 1967, etc.
In Ezekiel 29:15, the prophet says that Egypt would recover from a desolation (perhaps Babylon's attack about 2600 years ago), but that it would never again rule over other nations. Up until the time of Ezekiel, Egypt had been a world power for centuries, dominating many nations, including Israel. But for most of the past 2500 years, Egypt has been controlled by foreign powers, including the Romans, Ottomans and Europeans. Today, Egypt is an independent nation again. In 1948, 1967 and 1973, Egypt tried to dominate Israel but was unsuccessful each time, despite the fact that Egypt is 10 times larger than Israel. Egypt today, in many respects, is an impressive nation. But since the time of Ezekiel, it no longer rules over other nations.

Ezekiel 29:15
… I will make it so weak that it will never again rule over the nations.

Do you pray more in tongues or with your understanding?

Why not just save yourself the bother of getting up and going to work by just sleeping late and joining the Poor? Not working and having nothing seems to be better than working and still having nothing?

One may have faith (s)he can move a 50 ton boulder with a ballpeen hammer and a wheelbarrow, but the common sense to know it isn't worth the time and effort. One may have faith (s)he can resist temptation, but the common sense not to get into a situation that tests it. Is faith the end product, or the beginning step?

I grew up believing in both. My father was a jew and my mother was a catholic. I dont really even know the whole story about both sides, however, i know that i believe in Jesus and i was saved by him. I also believe there is a god and that Jesus was the son of god.

i just want to know if it is possible to love/believe in both at the same time? and if not, why? Thank you :)

I am an atheist. I didn't just randomly tell this kid I was an atheist. He asked me what I believed in and I told him I was an atheist. He then went on to say that the only reason I am an atheist is because I want to live an ungodly, immoral, sinful lifestyle. I told him that wasn't true. He said "OK, well if you found out God existed, would you change your lifestyle?." I told him that if I found out God existed that I would turn into a Bible thumpin, holy rollin, Jesus freak. He then went off about how I am sinful creature and that he would never talk to me again. I told him I would change for God, why would that make him mad?????

It was a consensual realtionship, both were gay, but did not meet until adulthood. Do you think they should have stopped it?

I used to be an insanely irrational Christian but gradually started to question the religious when I saw flaws in it that no one would explain to me, and finally snapped when my fundie brother insisted that I was going to die in the end times if I associated with homosexuals (srsly).

So I'm curious, what made you all lose faith?

And not just ex-Christians; any ex-religious devotees are welcome to answer.

I am being told that I’m not a Christian because I don’t have a religion. I thought what makes a person a Christian is accepting Jesus Christ as my savior. Tell me what a true Christian is then if I’m wrong. What’s a Christian?

Source? Proof? Link?

Did it consider:

All matter everywhere over ~billions of years?

Or did it state the odds of some small number of proteins assembling themselves in a certain way (say, the exact # to make an amino acid) in a small amount of time?

religions are suppose to help the poor and needy. thats why you thite. or give a percantage of you wage to the church. so why not just build small building and use more of the money to help the poor and needy. do you think god cares if you have hardwood pews or if you sitting on a lovely patch of grass he created.

I don't get why so many people are so religious and put god above all else. To me, you have to see it to believe it. I've never seen god in my life. I just think sometimes good things happen to people and sometimes bad things happen to people. It's so absurd when celebrities go up and thank 'god' above all others. I would definitely thank my parents and fans. How lame. =) Anyone agree or disagree? If you're reasonable and can make me change my mind, I'll give you the 10 points. Until then, I don't believe! Please....don't lecture. Get to the point. thanks.

The six year old from next door came to see me today. She told me she has a new kitten called Hego.

"That's great" I said. " How old is he then?"

" It's not a boy, it's a girl" she said " Mummy said it can't have babies though, cos when it's older she's cutting her private bits off!" lmao

If only birth control was that easy!

I used to sit next to this guy and then he was moved for awhile. And now he's baaackkk! Right next to me no less and I don't have a choice in the seating arrangement. He is clueless about reading signals from people such as when I answer in monosyllables or my voice or body language clearly says I don't want to talk to him! I have no interest in being his friend or anything else. He is clingy and obnoxious. He will listen in on every conversation I try to have with another coworker and then butts in, tells unfunny jokes and asks me questions that have nothing to do with work while I am trying to do my job. I think he may possibly have a crush on me but I am 7 years older and have no interest in him whatsoever. How do I give the clueless a clue I don't want to talk to him!?

they do not believe that Jesus Christ is God?

I know he is the Son of God, Prophet,Teacher, Rabbi, and a bunch of other wonderful names. Either he is God or he isn't.
