"And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself." (Lk 24:27)

I am compiling a list of references to His existence (such as the "fourth man" in the burning furnace of King Neb...), symbolism (the rock of Moses, Tabernacle, etc), and foreshadowing pointing to Christ in the OT....Can anyone think of an interesting one for me to use? Thanks!!!

Can you believe this?! No wonder you can't get the facts through some Christians heads, it's filled with this kind of nonsense. This goes completely against everything ever written about the holiday in history and they say it like it is fact. What do you guys think of this?

Seems like every news story posted on the Yahoo frontpage has people jumping on R&S to blame it on one side or the other. So why not this one? Which is it?

What's the point of Christianity if they keep committing "sins" knowing that they will be saved and forgiven by Jesus Christ every single time?

Say a person is either a member or a visitor to a church and publicly addresses an error in a sermon or points out a member who is in sin or any other VALID point. Could a 'pastor' legally have security/ushers physically remove a person from the premises?
note: In this situation, the person speaking out isn't yelling, screaming or in any other way acting in a threatening manner. They simply put the issue in the open and or respond to a rebuttal.

The most horrible of crimes have often been committed by persons who had a religious upbringing or a very religious families.

Why is that?

I asked a question on Y!A, not meaning to insult anyone. I was apparently misinformed, & people say that whether I'm sorry or not & whether I knew or not, I was still wrong & there's no excuse. They even called me ill-educated because of my question. I have a college degree. My counselor said everyone has the right to make mistakes-innocent, not intentional. If you want to see the explanation of the question. It was the open question right before this in my Q&A profile. Even though I apologized & admitted that I was misinformed & didn't intend to harm, they still said I'm wrong & my wrongness is inexcusable.

Anyone else here think he's the most despicable person on Earth?

I can't stand him or any of his ideals. I understand being a homophobe, I do, but that does NOT give you the right to be a terrorist too.

"They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart." -- Jeremiah 7:31

Jehovah considered what the sons of Judah did a detestable thing. Then, why would he send us in a fiery hell?

"God is love..." -- 1 John 4:16

A loving God would not create a place where the dead suffer eternally.

I don't do points but, I got a bit excited and thought Hey!, level 3 up with the big boys ( or slightly bigger boys).
So, there I was, beavering away, trying desperately to answer these Q's to get to level 3!! How sad am I
But I DID IT! I am now level 3!
Longway behind most of you but it's a breakthrough for me.

Several years back, I ordered a pizza over the phone. I waited about 1/2 hour, anxiously licking my chops. I was starving! Suddenly, there came a knock at the door. It was a guy with a pizza in his hand. But wait! It wasn't from the place I ordered a pizza from. It was from a major pizza delivery service. The guy asked for the money, and I told him: " Hey, I didn't order from you guys"! Bullsh*t! The guy shouted. You'd better cough up the money now.! I restated myself, but he just stood there cursing at me for 5 minutes. Finally, my mother came to the door, and got involved. We showed the guy the coupon from the pizza place we ordered from, and he finally backed off. Afterwards, I called the his manager and complained. What would you have done?

I am almost finished reading The Satanic Bible, and I hope I don't offend you, but it seems to be pretty much atheistic to me.
If the Satanistist puts the individual in place of god, recognizing the full potential of what humans can do on their own, doesn't that pretty much mean you don't believe in a god, and are, therefore, just an atheist?
Can you please enlighten me more as to what you believe?

P.S. If you are not familiar with this, please don't bring ignorance here, as that doesn't help the education process much....
