Zechariah 2:10-12 says, "Cry out loudly and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for here I AM COMING, and I will reside IN THE MIDST OF YOU", is the utterance of Jehovah...And you will have to know that Jehovah of armies himself has sent me to you. And Jehovah will certainly take possession of Judah...and he must yet choose Jerusalem."
If Jesus and Jehovah are not one and the same God, then how do you explain the fact that Christ is the one who is "coming" and "will reside in the midst of you", but in this passage, Jehovah claims that he is the one who is coming and will reside in there midst?
How do you explain the fact that "Jehovah of armies" is sending him (Jehovah) to reside in their midst?

Im am just looking for your understanding of this view, Thank you.

Example: this woman got sved two weeks ago,and now she's proclaiming to be an Evangalist.

He wanted me to read Matthew, he was pointing to verse 12 or 1:2, I am not sure. Anyway, neither verse is particularly profound, and I am confused? Can anyone here break either verse down to me? What do you think he meant? Also, he showed me a figure of a human? I don't understand, but I believe I saw Jesus in my dream in spirit, so I am taking this seriously.

Thanks for any help.

A belief in God, or a belief in no God? Express whether you like the idea of discussing one aspect, or multiple aspects. I personally like the idea of one, such as something like, "I believe fruit is evidence of order in creation." Instead of, "I believe in God." Or, "I believe in no God." I'd also like to discuss the >implications< of whether my argument, or your argument is more reasonable. Such as if I were be able to reason over you that, "Evidence of order through fruit, is evidence of a creator." This would >imply< there is evidence of God, therefore, it would be reasonable for you to give at least one "similiar in persuasive reason" supporting the existence of no God. This is just an example that holds zero meaning, to gain a clear understanding of what I mean when I say "discuss the implications."

If you are willing to discuss multiple aspects, then you must be willing to refer back to me and respond to everything I say, as I will also do, for a longer period of time.

Every day I'm on the board here, or I hear on TV, or read about, or hear a Christian say one or more of the following (or a close approximation):

1) You cannot know happiness without Jesus/God.
2) You cannot have morals without Jesus/God.
3) You cannot have values without Jesus/God.
4) You cannot truely love without Jesus/God.
5) You cannot live an honest life without Jesus/God.

I just wondered how Christians can possibly know these things about my life when none of them know me well enough to make these assumptions.
Both my wife and I are atheist. We are very happy together. We are honest with one another. We support and love one another. We are faithful to one another.
We have great dreams and aspirations for our future together. We also respect the environment and our neighbors.

And we do all this without the need or acceptance in a god or gods. How can we have such a wonderful life if what you say is true?
Perhaps you don't know any better other people's lives?

As my mother said, I'm Buddist because she is, but I dont really practice Buddihsm much. Is it possible for me to change to Christianity later? If yes, how?

cristian believe that Jesus had died and allowed for the shedding of his blood for the sake of granting forgiveness to people. In other words Jesus had died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins
how that when we read in the bible that this is not true

My friend posted this and it was deleted; now I’m not saying their decision was wrong, and I’m not asking you to either. I just want your opinion; do you think it should be deleted?





Question: Why is it people still call those that criticize Islam hateful and intolerant? What is so hard about facing the simple truth: Islam is a violent religion.
The holy books of Islam clearly state that its followers are to kill those that don’t believe the same as them.

I always thought that there was an age or something in which you need to decide if you believe in God or not. Is there? I mean a two year old can't really say if they belive in God but a 13 or 14 year old could.
What is your take on this?
Is there a set age?
Does it differ with ever person?
Is it about your mental growth?

Should you not give yourself a particular label until you are ready to live up to it 100%?

Do you think there are hypocrites in all arenas of life, or is it reserved for the religious?

I mean you are betting that there is an afterlife and a God while the other people are betting that there is not.

yoga and meditation are the powerful tools for entire human society to get the knowledge and mind power to live better.
Though the methods of teaching yoga and meditation are differ from country to country but purpose is the same.

I've often heard various theologians prophesy the coming of the end of the world. Several such deadlines as the 2012 one of the Mayan calendar to Nostradamus' predictions.

A number of these deadlines, however, such as that for the year 2000, have already come and gone with obviously no world-ending consequences. What of these? Did God lie, or did His followers misinterpret Him?
