why would the pieces that weren't recovered be anything different? They were part of the same scroll, or set of scrolls. They wouldn't have kept a "book of abraham" account on the same scrolls as the funerary text. The farms explanation of this is absurd.

"In 1952, a professor of military history, Sanders, set down three tests which can be used for any historical writing. He named these tests the bibliographic test, the internal test, and the external test. We can examine the Bible with these tests in the same way we would examine other ancient documents.....

Apart from the New Testament, the only other ancient writing which has any level of accuracy associated with it, is Homer. And yet the New Testament has a far higher degree of accuracy than Homer. Scholars universally accept the copies of Homer's writings as being accurate. It is undeniable, then, that the New Testament is by far the most accurately reconstructed ancient document. It passes the bibliographic test with flying colours."


``....Jesus...fulfilled over three hundred propecies (spoken by different voices over 500 years), including twenty-nine major prophecies fulfilled on a single day - the day he died.'' Since many of these prophecies were to do with the place and manner of his death, and even the place of his birth, he could hardly have deliberately set out to fulfil them!....
Just suppose the chance of each one of those prophecies being fulfilled in isolation was a very generous 50%. Then the chance of three hundred such prophecies all being fulfilled is the same as that of three hundred consecutive coin-tosses all
coming up tails: one in 203703597633448608626844568840... - that is, about one in two million million million million million million million million million million million million million million million."

If your child previously held the same atheistic beliefs as yourself, but then came to the conclusion that God is real, how would you react to this? What if your child tried to convince you that God is real?

There are 3 heavens as taught in the Bible:

1-Heaven-->where the birds fly.

2-Heaven-->space and galaxies

3-Heaven-->God's home in the spirit world, which cannot be explained by old or modern science.

What is heaven to you?

Lutherans Urged Not to Punish Gay Clergy in 'Faithful' Relationships
The largest Lutheran body in the nation caused a stir Saturday after controversially deciding not to punish homosexual clergy who are in sexual relationships.
At its annual assembly, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) passed by a vote of 538-431 a resolution urging bishops to refrain from disciplining pastors who are in “faithful committed same-gender relationships”.

I was bullied all the way through school and when I went to work and I was miserable for a long time just because of people like you. I was gay and it was obvious. I was beaten, spat at, shouted at, whipped with metal bars all of this beacause I was gay! I thank your little supporters that did this to me because it made me grow up to be strong and proud of myself and it taught me who to trust and how having decent and tolerent people in my life would enrich it so much. I am no longer the small boy being beaten and abused, I am now the strong one and all I can do now is look down on you and and your supporters with pity and disgust!!! Enjoy your empty shallow lives as outsiders and social scum!

I would like to find out how psychological and psychographic profiles are used to divide people into different groups, in terms of how their personalities affect how they make decisions. That is, are they quick decision makers, are they deliberative, etc. Are there are researchers who have done work in this field? Who are they? Why is their work interesting? Have they published any research papers or books?

in heaven but the number you "have" is the one to the Lord of the Jews would you be surprised to find out MAN'S religiions are the ones who gave you this number and NOT the one "Jesus" gave ? How will you "connect" to the Lord "if" you believe in all "religions" tell you is "truth" when it is NOT ?
