Since Animal FLESH is Spoken of in this Scripture as "Having the CAPACITY" of Being Able to Be EATEN by Humans AND is Talking about the Soul in the (SAME) Scripture; Isn't it (VERY) OBVIOUS that the Soul is the Person "Themselves"; RATHER than being a "Separate" Entity that goes on Living AFTER the Body Dies ???

lol what are you like ?

you go on about science and evolution and how facts are facts
but when someone who believes in God admits these facts and tries to incorperate them into their belief system
they are still looked down upon
like the poster who asked this question
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AstSEYCpMSB.RBPnt6Rdso9FLxV.;_ylv=3?qid=20071119022144AADipi8

like myself also

and nowhere did he or I say that we were Christian
do you all see the word God and automatically think Christians ?

will you not be happy until we give up our belief in God also ?
even when that belief in God is through our own personal experiences ?

I rarely say anything against you guys ... but come on
if we dont understand some things about evolution ... then educate us by all means
discuss

naughty naught people ( yeah AZ you know I am giving you that look now )

This seems contradictory to me.

Also, anyone ever compared the religion of the Egyptians(Isis, Osirus and Horus and to the new testament?
The trinity, virgin birth, death and resurrection, son of god dying for everyones sins, life after death, heaven and hell.

All this is in the egyptian book of the dead, which existed before the New Testament

Many atheists invoke Darwinism as a scientific "proof" of the "God delusion". Many people who believe in God therefore dislike Darwin, and attack the theory of evolution. Why instead, as a believer, can't I see in Darwinism the magnificent METHOD by which the Creator proceeds? A God which uses natural selection just to select those species which it wants. A higher Intelligence that works by so tremendously complex means that our tiny human intelligence labels as "random" mutations without "direction". A divine architect who proceeds by variations that we interpret as "coding errors" in DNA replication, but later recognize as "fortuitous accidents". An Intelligence that causes mass extinctions to eliminate dinosaurs to give place to mammalians, i.e. the human being. An apparently random and nevertheless finalistic evolution, i.e. a "spiritual darwinism". This would de-construct completely the recent neo-atheist darwinian claims. God AND Darwin? Yes, thank you!

Okay, I am wondering why many of the Christians around here (and in the real world) seem to think if you don't believe in their god there is something wrong with you and if you don't believe in any god then you are an atheist and there is definitely something wrong with you, which of course means you need guidance and you need to be told what to believe because without believing in any god you need to be saved.

Now, I am a woman with a university degree, I consider myself well educated and I live a happy life. I am also Agnostic. Yes, that's right. I do not believe that any god can 100% be proved to exist. No, I am NOT atheist. There is a difference between being agnostic and being atheist.

Atheist: a person who denies or disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings, God or gods.

Agnostic: a person who holds that the existence of the ultimate cause, as God, and the essential nature of things are unknown and unknowable, or that human knowledge is limited to experience.

If "God" is the only person allowed to judge, why do most Christians judge others? Tell people they are wrong, and discriminating them? Doesn't "God" say to love your brothers and sisters, and that would include all of them whether you believe what they are doing is right or wrong?

Supposedly the Creation Museum in Kentucky cost around 27 million $ to build (I say supposedly since different sites report different numbers from 25-27million). Does anybody else think that money should have gone to people who needed it....not displays of T-Rex eating coconuts?

2007-11-18 20:44:32 · 14 answers · asked by kf 4 in Religion & Spirituality

I need the Bible references that say the same thing with the following:
(Ex: "The love of money is the root of all evil" 1Timothy 6:10)

1. "A man's life consisteth not in the abundance of things which he possesseth."

2. "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

3. "Labour not to be rich."

4. "If thou lend money to any of my people... thou shalt not lay upon him ursury."

5. "Lend, hoping for nothing again."

6. A false balance is an abomination to the Lord.

7. The borrower is servant to the lender.

Thanks in advanced.

So I just saw an answer about atheists not believing in god (true) but believing in the devil (not true!!) and I always got an answer to my lasts question that seems to believe that. Why do people think that atheists believe in the devil? I have even had one of my Christian friends think that I was a devil worshiper when I told her I was atheist. Why is it people think this? Is their religion misinforming them or do they just simply not understand?

Christianity believes that God is omniscient.
If God is omniscient, life is determined.
If life is determined, then there is no free will.
If there is no free will, then no one is morally responsible.
If no one is morally responsible for anything,
Then, Christianity believes that no one is morally responsible for the life of another human being.


People always say that where i am wrong is DETERMINISM = NO FREE WILL, my response to that is this,

God being omniscient means that he knows how it will end. he knows which of us will be accepted into heaven, and which of us will not, he knows what i am typing right now and what i will type in 10 minutes, 10 years from now, and so forth. We cannot do anything to change that, because if we did change it, God would also know, and if he didn't know he would no longer be omniscient. and if he is omniscient then everything is already determined by him, we cannot and will not ever be able to see the plan laid out for us, but it is there none the
