See, I'm going to explain my question, what if hell isn't real, you know like some people use the boogie man stories to keep kids in line or the old scarey stories about "lovers lain murders" to keep the kids out of there and keep them out of trouble. What if hell isn't real what if it was made up to keep us in line as a cautionary type of tale of sorts. Also anyone else rather believe hell is here and now on earth? I mean look around you where else do you lose loved ones, see people suffer watch your family and friends suffer to me that is more hell than anything anyone could ever come up with. Do people really believe that there is some big lake of fire somewhere? These are legit questions so don't be rude to me and I wont be rude to you.

In Ezekial 20:25, God says,

"Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live."

Am I correct in saying that this passage says we should question the rules of the Bible?

Do Christians Catholics and others believe in what the old testament says, as well as the new testament??

ive heard it said that it is the rewritten word of god...

however, what is the point of god declaring many things in the old testament, then declaring them to be different in the new testament???

Does the new testament override anything said in the old testament?

NOMA=Non-Overlapping Magisteria

It's an interesting idea, but I don't think it really works, especially because Creationists often try to cross the line by using religious beliefs to describe the natural universe.

THe Word trinity isn't in the Bible- but the relationship it explains is- It is seen in the word "El"

The singular form of Elohim is El. It has the idea of strength, power, and might. El is used in the Old Testament of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

God The Father is El.

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God [El} Most High (Genesis 14:18).

The Son is El.

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel (El) (Isaiah 7:14).

This verse was cited by Matthew to refer to Jesus. The angel of the Lord said to Joseph.

She will bear a Son; and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call his name Immanuel,” which translated means, “God with us”

I am in 10th grade. I currently uphold a B+ Average. I just won the school science fair. I am a JW. I beilive in demons. I have seen them move things around in my grandmothers home, (she is a spirit medium) and I have seen them take on a ghostly form around her house. I know what they are, And I have seen them. So why are people so skeptical about a topic such as this? Maybe if people viewed demons not as mythical spirit creatures but as a Highly intelligent spirit race, They would not treat me like I'm crazy when I talk about what i saw....So why are people like this?

I am so blessed and honored to have so many wonderful contacts. They are so very caring and loving and have brought tears and laughter into my life. They send me such thoughful notes. I just want them to know that I pray for them all the time.

I also want to say that I have received very respectful mail from those that don't agree with me and I appreciate that.

Now, I need to ask a question. How do you feel about your contacts?

Genesis 2:18 It is not good for man to be alone. I will make a helper (companion) suitable for him.

1 Corinthians 1-9 1Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

2Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

3Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

5Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

6But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

7For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

That for the most part it's not the religious who confuse science and faith. It's the atheists that do that.
So who would you trust more? I would trust the person who knows how to separate the two things.

I trained in Portsmouth as a telephone operator in 1961 for the GPO. My very first time away from home as we were put into digs at Cosham. After 2 years, I left to go onto a PBX which was the dream of all us girls, get employed by a private company and run their switchboard. Do you remember the 'blinking eyes'? I left, had kids, did part time work then, went back to B.T. Still on the old plugs, which I loved then we retrained for BTOSS. Very inovative but eventually cost us all our jobs.
Anyone who wasn't a Night Owl or telephone operator won't have a clue what I am talking about but here goes anyway.

Fellow Christians I have been thinking about this a bit. What do you do when JW's or mormons come knocking? I tend to either ignore them or open the door and say not interested and shut it. I have realized though that this is not the way Christ would deal with them. So the next time they come I am going to invite them in. Offer them something to drink. Ask if they need to use the bathroom or anything. Not going to try and preach or show them the error of their ways. Just show them Christ's love. Will you join me? Do you think this would have an effect on them? Show them Christ with our lives.

How can Jesus be God when Jesus was a BORN HUMAN BEING?? God is the Creator, The Alive, The One attributed with a life that is unlike our life and is not that of a combination of soul, flesh or blood. The First, The One whose Existence is without a beginning.
