One refers to the bible for all their answers. The bible is a book.

Scenario:
You are driving down a road and have a map book you bought at the store. On the map, it says "turn left off of 56th ave." When you get to the spot, you notice, through the window of your car, that the road does not, in fact, exist. Would you follow the book and turn left or would you look to reality and keep going straight?

My point is, the Bible is merely a reference and is NOT reality. Some believe it is God's writing but if God wrote it I doubt there'd be so many problems and issues with it.

So, will you ever look to reality or "self" or will you turn off the road because the book said so?

Dear God:
I know that I'm a sinner. I deserve Hell. But You sent Jesus to die for my sins. I believe that He died and rose again. I ask you now to forgive my sins, once an for all. I now receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Personal Saviour. Please come into my heart and save me, Help me to know I am saved and live for You, the rest of my life. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.

I have heard several people say that before. That sounds like complete ignorance to me. At least say something like, "relgion sounds like the best explanation to me" or something else.

What is your favorite fantasy right now?
Mine is to be walking, well limping down the street and seeing Meg Ryan coming towards me. As we get right next to each other she grabs me and lays a 5 minute lip lock on, then invites me home with her. Great fantasy, huh?

"And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority."

Is tthis the answer at Dan 7:26

note: Dan 2:2-25 puts 7:26 in context with Rev 13:1-4

I challenge any man who is not a Latter-day Saint to discuss with me a principle of the Gospel in which he thinks he knows more about than the Latter-day Saints do.

And let me illustrate something for all you rubberneck Christians: A principle of the Gospel is teaching that directly affects your personal salvation. An allegation is not a principle, and I suggest to all you Christians out there, that you cannot provide even ONE principle of the Gospel to me that I don't know better than you do.

I really was saddened to hear on th news that a girl I used to hang out with at work died in a wreck. I didn't know her family and her funeral happened to fall on the day of my son's birthday, so I did want to spend it with him, yet I wanted to say goodbye. So, I stopped in about 20 minutes, saw her *sobs*, signed her guestbook, had a big cry. I couldn't stay for the whole funeral, but I am glad I got to say goodbye.

yes, i believe in vampires and werewolves, and witches.
no, i do not believe in frankenstien, dracula, or sabrina the teenage witch.

i want to see how many people can try to convince me that vampires are real.
yes, maybe this is a waste of 5 points for me, i have seen many people say that, but you shouldn't be complaining, you can get two points for just answering.

not knowing or caring is like putting a freakin gun to your head and saying ow well. Everyone else cant figure it out ow well is the stupidest thought known to mankind.

Does a person with aids give up Cause theres not cure?........get out and find a cure and do everything possiBle!!!

does a little kid give up on riding his Bike cause he has no one to teach him?....................................get up and keep on trying no matter who says he cant!!!

should a man with a family lost in the wilderness stop and give up cause hes to tierd and has lost hope................................
he should never keep on trying no matter if how hard it is cause his family loves him.

Than is it worth it to you and your family to give up cause your not convenced 100%.Is it worth eternity even if you Belived a little.

Im gonna keep on trying even if I had 0 faith in every thing.
To worry aBout what is possaBle and never give up.

Don't you think this is simply seen by them as a means of dismissal and condescention? Don't you think that it simply makes you look (in their eyes) that you might not be as familiar with the Gospel of peace as you may think?
And how does this sort of preaching further the kingdom of God?

It seems there are only about 40 questions asked in dozens of ways. The answers have been given over and over again in dozens of ways. Now I have started to notice a lack of creativity in the answers and that tells me we will die from boredom before we reach level 7 in this section.

James 2:18-20
18 But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.

19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

20 You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?
