if someone {Christian or atheist} said god told him to add something to the bible, would you believe him, or would you question him.
im not asking if you believe what he put in the bible would you believe who said it

This is my opinion. Yes.

God spoke through the prophets and new testament writers. The original manuscripts were the inspired word of God.

But the translators erred in some of their translating. That's where the human factor came into it.

So new information supplied to us that corrects some of these translational errors such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, only corrects the TRANSLATIONS not the original WORD OF GOD. That was never corrected or changed.

Jesus related himself equal to God. Even spoke of it. God told Abraham to tell Pharoah, "I am" sent you.
Jesus told the Pharisees, Before Abraham was "I am"
Apostle Paul spoke Of Jesus not thinking it not robbery to be equal with God (my wording) but made himself of no reputation to be equal to God.
your comments?

A friend of mine who is, to say the least, a bit on the chubby side came to visit me the other day. While he was here had asked to use the bathroom and, whilst he was in there, he broke my toilet seat. I told him that as he'd damaged it he'd have to pay for it, which he didn't agree to. We had a heated arguement and he left. This has left me now where I have no toilet seat and no means to pay for one in the near future. I am unsure of my position and would be grateful if someone could tell me how I stand.

Why do muslims claim all the nasty stuff ie stonings are just culture when it occurs in other islamic countrys

Heard the bs accuse many times..

All the stonings, sexsim, homophobia, honour killings, forced arranged marriage, males dominating femles etc etc.

Oh nothing to do with us thats just culture.

Likeiwse the 'individuals' nothing to do with islam one.

Give over.

Exaplin then shariah law and how these nasty things occur in loads of islamic countires wherever the muslims take control and introduce their evil britual & abusive sharia law to control everybodies lives over the sexaulity, how they live, look, behave everything where kids are brainwashed with the idea that you

Must submit to allah, must never question shariah, it does not matter if you think its wrong its gods will etc.

Hence said culture is infact islam itself as you get the same thing in countiry after country under islamic control.

But none where the buddist, chrisitians, athiests, hipp

Note: Dead people don't go anywhere when they die, they must be resurrected back to life first. Hell is the graves though and it will be burned by fire from heaven in the future.

Technically you go to a place in heaven called "the New Jerusalem" which descends to Earth 1000 years later. It's a PHYSICAL PLACE in the universe unlike what most chritian probbably think because they don't read their bibles.

Basically, it'll be like star strek because you will learn more about the universe.

Also note that you don't earn Eternal life, Jesus paid it for you and all you have to do is believe (he wont force you to live forever, that's where hell annihilation comes is, that is ceasing to exist).

In heaven you can
1. Build your own home and plant your own garden (Isaiah 65:21, 22)
2. Have a city mansion built by Christ (John 14:1-3.)
3. Sing and play heavenly music (Isaiah 35:10; 51:11; Psalm 87:7; Revelation 14:2, 3).
4. Worship before God's throne every Sabbath (Isaiah 66:22, 23).
5. Enjoy never-fading flowers and trees (Ezekiel 47:12; Isaiah 35:1, 2).
6. Meeting loved ones, patriarchs, prophets, angels etc. (Matthew 8:11; Revelation 7:9-17).
7. Study the animals of heaven (Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:25).
8. Fly and explore wonders of the universe without getting tired (Isaiah 40:31).
9. Listen to God sing (Zephaniah 3:17).
10. Realize fondest ambitions (Psalm 37:3, 4; Isaiah 65:24).
11. Being with Jesus (Revelation 14:4; 22:4; 21:3; 1 John 3:2).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_forms

Plato theorized that all the things we see in this world are merely shadows of the true Forms (capital F) that exist in a plane outside our own.

In layman's terms, all roses on the earth are a shadow of the one true, perfect and beautiful rose that exists in the world of the Forms.
Thus too, concepts like beauty also have a perfect and true "Form."

Rubbish or was he on to something?

I am neither Pro-Life or Pro-Choice, I guess.
I don't think abortion should be used for birth control or simply as a way to get rid of the baby, but I dont think it should be outlawed completley- such as in cases where the mother's life is seriously threatened. In that case I believe the mother should have a choice.
(This is the simplified version of what I think. You get the idea, though)

So what am I??? Because I agree with bits and pieces of both sides...

When left to our own devices, what proves to be the case?
Do you have any examples or evidence to support your position one way or the other?

Pro life people......Do you disagree with all abortions.Including abortions on animals like a dog.
Abortions are commonly preformed on pregnant female dogs, when their life is in danger.

Would a short lead male actor in an action type film put you off watching it? By this i mean; due to the Hollywood stereotype of "Tall and Handsome" men in such roles, would you feel that a short guy was realistic for the situation or have we all been brainwashed in to believing that "this would not be real". I think you only have to be over 5'3/5'4 to be a Royal Marine so there must be some pretty tough short guys out there.

What would the two worlds look like, one in which morality is objective, the other in which morality is subjective.

Thank you for your thoughtful answers.
