What does He mean? At first I thought that Jesus did go to heaven after His crucifixtion, but then Eph 4.9, says that He did go to hell.

Ephesians4:9 (What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions {Or the depths of the earth}?
(NIV)

So did Jesus go to heaven or hell for 3 days?

Thanks!

I don't mean EVERYONE, but there are plenty who thrive on mocking, attacking and insulting others. I understand freedom of religion and free speech and I completely respect that, but I don't undersand the anger and hatred so often displayed here. Are people truly so angry and bitter that they feel the need do be rude and intolerant to anybody even slightly diffferent thaa themselves?

What a sad world we live in.

Acacia ants are specialized to eat the nectar of an acacia tree. They have a tight symbiotic relationship with the tree in which the ants provide protection *in exchange* for nectar. The ants are only found in Central and (I think) South American. So in order for them to survive on the ark, they would have needed a living acacia tree. How did the ants and the tree make it to whereever Noah was so they could board the ark? Did the ants carry the tree with them or something?

Face it - only children believe the story of Noah's Ark.

our earth is almost 7 billion years old , and self conscious human life is only about 80 to 120 thousand years old.

which means if the age of our planet is put to a 24 hour time mode , self conscious human life appeared only at the last milli second before the clock struck 12 ok

let me make it even more simple

If the earth began on the 1st of january , self conscious human life happened to walk on earth only at 11.59.0000000 on the 31st of december

now here is my question to religious people,

why did God/ allah create the earth 7 billion years ago and decide to create self conscious human life only yesterday?

what made him wait for almost 7 billion years to create human life?

seems there are some who get very upset with others because of their answers.... so what if they don't respond with what you expect. God's Word isn't about us, it's about Him, for His glory.

What was the Religion of Ibrahim "Abraham" عليه الصلاة و السلام? and was he Sunni, Shii, Salafi, Wahabi, or Alawy? or was he Just Muslim?

I highly recommend looking up the word parable before you go and post your next dumb question about Noah having martians on his boat or asking whether their was a mars bar tree in the garden of eden or asking whether god made starbucks on the 17th day.

Ramadan will be here soon and I am unable to fast because I am an insulin dependent diabetic who needs 2 shots every day. I know I am exempt from fasting for health reasons, but what can I do instead of fasting? Are there other things I can do- give to the poor, pray more often...? I have been unable to get a clear answer on this other than: stop using my insulin for a month (NOT AN OPTION!) or don't worry about it. Any suggestions?

Ok, I admit that's going too far. Surely Noah would have had the sense to dig up a smaller, younger Giant Sequoia. But the next question is, did he have to travel all the way to California to get one, or did it walk to him?
