Angel Gabriel is the Angel of Revelation and was sent unto all the Prophets to strengthen them with the messages and Revelation from GOD.

It looks like the Trinity concept makes him part of god-head.

1. First, you must want to believe in God.

2. Next, understand that believing in God in the absence of evidence is especially noble.

3. Then, realize that the human ability to believe in God in the absence of evidence might itself constitute evidence for the existence of God.

4. Now consider any need for further evidence (both in yourself and in others) to be a form of temptation, spiritually unhealthy, or a corruption of the intellect.

5. Refer to steps 2-4 as acts of “faith.”

6. Return to 2.

Does that mean the whole Tree Of Knowledge thing is a lie?

Supposedly after Adam ate that fruit, he learned shame. But if you don't teach a child shame, they don't know it.

Gee, does that mean that story isn't true?

I am just curious because anything that looks like Godzilla wearing an octopus hat shouldn't be hard to find.

Would you still love them? Would it be a turn off? Would you leave? Would you stay and hope for an open relationship? If your partner was suddenly thin and much healthier, but no longer heavy, curvy, or "volutptuous", how would that affect you?

That is, when thinking of the future of mankind - regardless of what you believe - do you have faith that mankind will endure?

But people perceive in many different ways. I am not Christian, but If a Christian believes in and loves Jesus with all their heart, I cannot say to myself:

I honestly believe that there is a Divine, whom everyone perceives differently. Organised religion and rituals are man made.

Do you agree or disagree? Please explain.

Have you ever felt attacked for expressing a simple point of view?

Did 14 people give you a "BAD RATING" when you foolishly said "I like apples."

Do some people need to take a chill-pill instead of using those thumbs down like a machine gun?

Do you really believe that there is something after death and that there is a heaven and hell? For now lets just PRETEND that you do believe in both. Would you be afraid of hell and dying? Even if you think that you would go to heaven, are you still afraid of dying simply because you don't know about it?

We only had our sleeping bags,bikinis (under jeans) and toothbrushes with us, so we just slept on the beach. By morning all the locals heard that two girls had slept on the beach, and embraced us as their own. The local shop prepared breakfast for us, and had two local fishermen ready to take us to, not only the blue grotto, but all the others that most tourists miss.

The two old fisherman, a few teeth missing, and a tiny boat. We saw all these beautiful grottos, and there WERE beautiful, and then the headed out to sea, and told us they were taking us to lunch with their friends.

The lunch, as with all Italians, lasted five hours, lovely couple. she cooked up a storm of wonderful homemade Italian food. By the time we came to leave, a storm was brewing,and the Mediterranean sea, was throwing up huge swells, the old fisherman, had had a LOT of wine, but assured us that the trip back to Capri would be very safe.Now i have no characters!

Is it that much of stretch to believe that there is one, true expression of Cristianity?

It doesn't seem fair that all humans should be punished for the fall of Adam and Eve. After all, neither I nor anyone currently living could have done anything to prevent it. This type of global punishment for the indiscretion of only one individual is a direct violation of the Geneva Convention.

If God didn't want Adam or Eve to eat the fruit of knowledge, then why did He make them so curious? It seems like God bears some of the responsibility for humanity's failings. Maybe I should write Him a letter.

Sure, maybe Jesus came around to "forgive" our sins, but I want an earthly paradise! God, I hope you're listening to me!

lots of brothers and sisters. My parents and Grandparents were all Catholics, and the one thing we were never told was that Jesus had brothers and sisters. Even at mass it was never mentioned we were led to believe that Jesus was an only child, Mary being his mother and Joseph his foster father. Does anyone know why, if you answer please respect the Catholic religion I am just being curious.
