In the bible, for example, Moses lived 800 sum years, does it state where/why people do not live as long now? I had always though Adam and Eve destructed the dieing at an earlier age. I also have have a lot of questions because Adam and Eve did all their harm in Genesis, the first book of the bible but if that was all so how did Moses live a long life, he came after the beginning of the bible. Theses are all questions I will take to my preacher or Sunday school teacher(s) but if anyone knows could they tell me where, if at all does it state that people will die at a younger age now?

If you believe matter had a beginning. Explain how absolutely nothing created something.

If you believe matter is eternal. Explain how we could arrive at the current time, considering it would take an infinite amount of years. If you believe time was created from matter, explain how this happened. Or if you believe time doesn't exist, then explain that.

Lust: Another Name For Adultery




Sex is not sin--to enjoy it is.

In the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord Jesus shocked the people of His day when He equated lust to ADULTERY! His actual words are:

"But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed ADULTERY with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into HELL."

Please note the serious consequences of lust (mental adultery). According to Jesus, it's possible to end up in Hell over this! Therefore, this sin must not be taken lightly, as many people do.

God said that followers of the Hebrew path are to "put no other Gods before me". Also, it is said that God is a jealous god - jealous of what/who if there are no other Gods. Does this not sound like there are indeed other Gods, only the Hebrews/Christians shouldn't be worshipping them?

im a muslim, and ive looked at some of these questions on yahoo, and they seem so ignorant, people saying, muslims are bad, and they teach kids to blow up buildings and rape woman.. Are You Kidding Me?? is it me or is there someone out there that also agrees that people shouldnt say ignorant things about religions they dont know... i mean just becuase hitler proclaimed he was christian doesnt mean people go off hating on christianity... on the second note. to let you know i was raised christian.. my mom being one, and my dad being a muslim, so maybe its easier for me to understand, but seriously people, we are all brothers and sisters, christians, jews, muslims, hindu's, buddhist, black, spanish, white, whatever you are, your human just like me.... our DNA is 99.99 % alike... how we look different, and have different believes shouldnt matter.... it also seems that people want to always show off about religion, and act how they are better then someone whos not religious, well is it me o

My co-worker who I work very closely with just lost her husband in a tragic accident. I don't plan on attending the funeral because personally I feel that the ceremony is a time for close friends and family of the departed to pay their last respects. Don't get me wrong I do plan on attending any gathering after the funeral, out of moral support of the widow (my co-worker). I mean no disrespect, but I feel that is a very private moment that should only be with close friends and family. Am I being too sensetive about this situation or do I have a valid point?

Is God's ego in that much need of stroking? Theists are funny with their constant chanting that they are not worthy and that God is all great and powerful and a great guy, but please don't squish them like ants, and he is so good looking and great and powerful, and please don't step on us, and can we kiss his butt anymore and we are not worthy, etc. How can anyone allow themselves to do that? That is why I always feel the need to wash my hands after meeting a religious person.

I know that we as muslims are commanded to, for only through questioning can you come to understanding. My faith has been made stronger by questioning it and then finding the answers within it that also made sense. My faith is also strengthened by those who stalk and ridicule, for I know I've touched a nerve and they did not like having to see that they were wrong in their assumptions. Do you question your faith? And has that helped you to better understand it?

A verse in the Qur’an states, “Those who remember Allah…reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth.” The Prophet Muhammad, peace be on him, said, “Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim.”

Maybe we could suggest to Yahoo that there be sites for the following: Major Religions, Off-beat Religions, Religious Trivia, Spiritual Happenings, Strange Ideas, Religious Bigots, etc. I think I could more easily keep up with a smaller stream of questions and answers. How about you?

hi to see my previous question
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArW2rkxOyg6n_0XT1IqmEBTsy6IX?qid=20070730132139AAyrGv9

i noticed that lots of christians got mad from my previous question..!
and some of them called me by a terrorist...and others were just insulting my religion or giving other explanation about other verses and topics ..cause they couldn't defend their religion...!
i mean why should i be terrorist or other names you called me by since this was written in your bible..???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i didn't write it or something...it's there in your book...whether you like it or not....but i can see that no one accepted the challenge cause you know deep that this verse is not true..and that means that some of the verses in your bible are corrupted...which means that your entire believe is corrupted...!!
and you are afraid from the TRUTH !

God knew all that would happen, child molesters, murders, drugs, and he is loving as well as all knowing. His plan? Why would he proceed with what he already knew was damned to hell, with the exception of a minority amount Christians, and only a fraction of them would make it to heaven. What is the point? Why all this big hastle and suffering? Why not truly create us in his image, knowing what he knows, then give us a free will. This would have enabled us to see as he sees and make an un-tainted choice. Instead we had free will, without full knowledge of the re-percussion of our sin. Adam and Eve supposedly operated with a full 100% of their brains capacity, yet were not fully aware of what God was saying? If they knew I doubt they would have ever ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.They would have known good and evil, and not needed to eat of a tree to know it. So why all this hupla.Death of his only son etc.. I am a believer but have a little problem with this.

Ok, what I don't unerstand is, Christians who keep on criticizing Atheists. Why do you do it? You're not going to turn me into a Christian! Not unless you have proof, which you do not have. Some Christian already got me mad, which is impossible. This person really knows how to get me mad!
So, tell me, why don't some Christians keep their little comments to themselves and learn something. Like, for example, we didn't just appear magically and the world wasn't made in 6 days?
Can someone please explain this to me, because it seems to me like there are far more dumb Christians than I thought there would be!
