If one uses the verse the 1 Thesssalonians chapter 4

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first"

If one concludes from the above verse that Jesus is the archangel (he comes with the voice of the archangel), then one can also conclude the Jesus is God (he has the trumpet of God).
Or perhaps the archangel sounds his voice to announce the return of Jesus.

any toughts? thanks

How prevalent is the battery industry in Indonesia? Im sitting here right now, looking at a common battery for a remote door locking system and it is made in Indonesia. I know these same batteries also go in the collars for the electronic zapper for the invisible fence system. So they are widely used.

Come on people, give me the scoop on how big the battery business is in Indonesia.

A majority of you were born into your religions (yes i know some people converted). You cant honestly believe that you would be the same religion if you were born into a different country with an organized religion in the government.
since you were little you just read a big book and you parents lectured you. yet there is no way in having physical evidence to support it. Yes you have predictions that have so called happened but they are vague, just like Nostradamus.
You argue back in forth and say who ever doesn't agree with you will suffer the most unimaginable torment forever. doesn't the bible tell you not to judge? and with ALL the ideas and religions out there God should have known that it would be absolutely impossible to have every follow the "right" way.
Some people will say they have visions but what about other religions that had visions too? you can reply and shout out jesus is lord or allah this but all in all faith cannot be the means of actual truth. thankyou (agnostic)

If god is all-poweful, why'd he rest (have to rest?) on the seventh day?

Jesus made the claim that the generation would not pass and everyone in the new testament thought he was coming during their lifetime.

Jesus says he doesn't know when he is coming back but only the father.

So if Jesus is God then he is forgetful.

At any rate, someone want to clear this up for me?

Mickey Mouse Goofy remarks on questions that stump you?

Ancient People did not have terms such as:
Comets
Diamonds
Asteroids
Milky Way
Kool-Aid
Crystal Clear
But we learned from what those terms mean in today's culture. Some might be lost in translation but we have learned from Hebrew and Greek translations

I'm not talking about teaching one belief or another; instead, teaching the critical analysis of religion itself, perhaps in middle school or high school. Religion has such a penetrating influence on our society that I wonder if teaching its analysis is just as necessary as teaching, say, literature or history. I do not believe that teaching religious studies/comparative religion would be a violation of the Establishment Clause.

What do you all think of this?

I know that the central tenet of Wicca is "as long as it harms none, do whatever you want." Does this mean that they are not required to help those less fortunate than them?
For instance, Christianity teaches that it's not enough to merely avoid doing harm. Christians also have an obligation to help the poor and needy, to give both their time and money to charitable organizations, and to work for a system that promotes justice and ends oppression. For Christians, doing good is not merely the absence of doing evil, but actively taking the time to help others.
Does Wicca have a similar teaching?

I've had this point driven home to me an awful lot lately. I'm being totally serious asking this, btw. I can only judge things from my perspective of admittedly biased experience, so I'm curious what other's opinions are.

Here is how the United States Geological Service describes it: http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/fossils/succession.html

The Bible describes all the plants being formed before all the animals. Why is that not how they appear in the Geology?

When large groups preach that others are sinners what real effect does it have?

What would happen if millions of people would preach that woman were sinners or that all the French were sinners? What would you think of such a group?

Of all the places, I walked into my local Public house, and I saw my good friend that happens to be an Atheist in discussion with a man regarding religion.

The person was a Christian and was questioning my friend about aspects of Theology, I could tell my friend was a bit drunk so I interrupted by answering all of his questions, and he agreed with all my answers. The questions were about definitions of words, as soon as he realised I was knowledgeable about some aspects of Theological definitions he got up and left without even trying to engage me in conversation or asking me what I believed.

I am not sure, but he seemed dissapointed when I answered and left imediately.

Why would someone seeking to discuss Theology with people, decline the oppurtunity to discuss it with people of an interest?

Please note. I said nothing insulting and he did not disagree with any of my answers.
