Jesus was not about salvation from any imaginary place, he spoke about enlightenment.

Is enlightenment important to you?

Lets assume that Noah and his one man crew managed to magically fill noahs ark with a years supply of fruit, plants, etc. Well then what did all of the meat eating animals eat? They cant eat other animals because that would kill off species of animals. What did they eat for an entire year?

How do you feel about being affectionate with your significant other in public? Or about anyone else doing so? How far do you think is to far before it gets awkward and weird, whether it's you and your partner or someone else and there's. What do you consider acceptable?

The ancient Egyptians celebrated the ressurection of their god and savior ,Osiris , by eating the sacred cake or wafer after it had been consecrated by a priest . Does this sound like anything that exists today ?

the asker wanted to know if Christ hadn't died on the stake....would he had lived 900 yrs like Adam?

My answer was " I doubt it" I thought that he was referring to something else, so I'd like to clear up that by saying....Jesus Christ is alive .....he laid his life down for the salvation of obedient, believing mankind....and was resurrected to heaven once again to live with Jehovah God for all eternity.

Jesus' purpose was not to live on the earth forever.......he had an assignment by God which he fulfilled. He resided in the heavens before he came to the earth and he therefore went back to his original abode afterwards.

Sorry if I confused anyone with my first answer, that was not my intention.

I've heard many say things to the effect of "I don't believe in God because I grew up / learned to think for myself / came into reality..."

My question is, were you raised in a home with practicing Christian parents? (I was raised in a home where we went to church on holidays, that was about it. ) And when I say "practicing Christian parents," I mean did your parents put Christ as the foundation at home?

I'm not being flippant or insulting and I'm not trying to "figure you out." I'm just curious. Thanks.

Do they think they're better than us, and therefore not our peers, because they've been chosen by Satan?

If atheists started coming around to your door trying to push atheism onto you? Trying to spread the word of Dawkins? And we came around every weekend knocking on your door?

Non believers- how do you feel when it happens to you?

I am sick of having people coming to my door pushing their faith onto me during my time! Just want to find out how you would feel if it was you in the situation.

This is a serious question so please answer seriously!

Was Jesus just making poetry, or was he creating a new sacrament for Christians to encounter him in a new and life-changing way?

Credit to Deirdre H for the question.

What if he came back and proved himself to you somehow (walking on water... stigmata... whatever)? What if he told you that you had it all wrong? What if he said that you were really supposed to help poor people (all of them... ). What if he told you that your selfishness was wrong... that war was wrong.. that he, Jesus, was (especially in those last few hours) pretty firmly against torture. What if he told you that every kid who couldn't get healthcare... every homeless person you saw... every homosexual who wanted to be treated equally was, in fact, also Jesus.

Would you change? Would you live the words you read? Or would you denounce him.

why do many people make a distinction betweem humans and animals.

humans can of course do things that animals cant, but each animal can do things that no other animal or human can.

every animal has unique characteristics.
