THIS IS SORT OF A TRICK QUESTION,
HINT: Not Exodus, but in Genesis.

I really never thought of it this way until now.

Among theologies to be examined will be those attendant to the Flying Spaghetti Monster faith. Since I will be unable to participate I would appreciate input and web site references from other devoted worshipers of his Royal Noodliness. Ramen, brothers and sisters, and may the Sauce be with us!

I know you teach that Jesus rose as a spirit and not with a physical body. How then do you interpret the following verses?

John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Joh 2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
Joh 2:21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

What Virus causes alcoholism? Because My alcoholic stepfather breathes on me quite often, and yet I've never managed to catch alcoholism--How contagious is it? Is it sexually transmitted? When I choose not to drink to excess, was that some kind of atheist-metaphysical vaccination?

Or are Alcoholics just saying it's a Disease to excuse all the harm they do to people when they choose to stay drunk for six months at a time? Isn't excusing sins like that what Jesus is for?

God bless!

Do you think works-based religions appeal to slightly masochistic people? There has to be a reason people would so fervently cling to shame-based worship, as opposed to the freedom of Christ's grace, as spoken of in Romans 8.

just my thoughts. I'm interested in hearing thoughtful replies.

Someone said the concept of god opening the pearly gates to the whole world, regardless of works and religion was a bad concept because god is about justice....

When I thought you guys said he was about infinite love, and forgiveness...

You say god is a spirit and god is everywhere. If that's true then how can you be spiritually separated? You can't be physcially separated because god is not physical. So how can you be separated from god at all?

According to the following article (see link) they are debating on whether or not Pastafarianism is a religion.
So my question is: Do you consider the FSM a 'god' and is Pastafariansim a religion?

I need to know how German grammar works. Here's an example:

Das Gebäude stürmen!

When translated with the literal meaning, it means "The building storm." But it means "Storm the building!" Am I being confusing?

Like if you were a soldier and you said, "Storm that building!"

Why is it backward? Can someone please help me understand this?

I need to know so it will be easier for me to learn German. I know some German now and I could probably carry on a conversation if I knew how to organize my sentences correctly so I wouldn't be confusing the person I was talking to.

And why are words like Gebäude capitalized when they're right in the middle of a sentence and it means "building"?

Well, how do you know that God didn't change the rules again, and from now on you're supposed to follow Islam? Jews knew and lived by their scripture and wholly rejected Jesus (with the exception of a few questionable characters that Jesus convinced to follow him) and even today they still reject Jesus because of their scripture. What makes you so confident that even though the only culture in the world that followed the god known as YHWH rejects Jesus and are damned because of it, you aren't damned for not accepting Muhammad? You say you know your scripture and the scripture says nothing about Islam, but the Qu'ran says differently, just like Jews knew their scripture (Tanakh) said nothing about Jesus even though the Christian bible clearly says it does.

By the way, for those that say there were many Jewish converts to Christianity, there are also many Christian converts to Islam.

I believe there should be a program institute that requires people to have a license to have a child. Failure to comply is jail time and being fixed. There are so many people out there who shouldnt have kids. Great example thats in the media right now is Britney Spears and Kfed.

Often time its these same people who shouldnt have had kids in the first place that like to place the blame elsewhere when their kids do something wrong like commit murder. Example columbine massacre one of the parents of the children that commited that horrible crime claimed they didnt know what their child was doing in the garage for hours on end. Hello its your house your child and you dont know what they are doing? Unfit parent. Then others that blame video games and music. BS I play violent video games I listen to all types of music It doesnt make me want to go out and kill people or commit robberies.

Its a privilege not a right to have kids.

It should explain a lot of things if it is the last book - tell us about day of judgement - like the Quran does , The Grave , Heaven, Hell , About God himself, How to ask God a question and get your answer straight away , - why son of god did not have a sister

also how can the ones who tortured jesus be forgiven as if they had not done that? that is infinitely unfair - by the way i dont belive he was tortured Allah (Swt) raised him to himself before they had a chance to put their filthy hands on him
