It's definitely not in the early part of the Bible. Hezekiah in Isaiah 38, 18-19 says the dead just 'go down into the pit'.
But by the time of Daniel 12, the idea had appeared.
When and why did the change take place?

Me, I ABSOLUTELY HATE pornography. I think it should be illegal in ALL countries of the world. It is disgusting and I think it is just horribly wrong. Are they any other guys who feel this way (or women).

If God created the universe, what was there before the creation?
I had this discussion with some friends but, as we are not religeous, do not know the religeous viewpoint. If there was another universe, did God wipe the slate clean and start again? Do you think God could decide to do the same with this universe? As with all evolutionist vs creationist questions I expect a few loony answers but as long as they're not pious, religeous rants or scientific belittling of those who have faith then thats fine.

why do you need to pray, since he knows, allegedly, what you're going to ask for anyway.

and when two people ask god for opposing things who gets their prayer answered.

My husband showed me a website last night that said Laws for all 52 States. We had been talking about this last week, that some people think Hawaii and Alaska makes 52 States in the United States. THERE ARE ONLY 50 States!!! I couldn't believe that some people think there are 52. There are 48 continental States, then Hawaii and Alaska makes 50. DUH. How can some people think there are 52. It's a sad reflection on society when most people in America can't even point to the United States on a map, and they think there are 52 States.

Many stories found in the Bible are found in Ethnic (not islamic, christian, Judaic) Religions and Cultures

eg The Flood, walking on water, resurrection and others


If lots of cultures keep on repeating the same stories; does that make their meaning less true?

No, the converse is true! It is stories that resonate through time , that have profound meanings which endure.

In fact, they are more likely to induce the thinking man to believe in the bible stories as containing important truths.

These facts that people find so confounding to belief, are taught in nearly every course on Biblical Theology!

It is ment to tell you how many children (if any) that you will have and weather they are male or female. I had a friend tell me that every single relative in her family had had the children that the pendulum said they would.

How relyable is it?

If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.

Scientists have proven that Eve did not come from Adam's rib. In fact woman was created first. God made man out of woman's thumb.

Its true, 'We've been their ever since'.

I don't want to do it for any reason that's based on sexuality or a sense of uniqueness, I just like the way it looks. Just a lower-lip piercing intrigues me. However, I go to church and I'm in the worship band (keyboardist) and help teach classes and such. I want one but I'm unsure of what my fellow christians would say. What would God say? I don't want to be kicked out of church or something. haha. sarcasm on the last line. hehe.
