Jesus could not have died for the sins of the world because the Law, as laid down by god forbid human sacrifice. Furthermore, gentiles (non-Jews) had no tie to the Law except for the Noahide Precepts on how to live an honorable life before god. This is purely a doctrine created after Jesus' death in order to deify a man, as was practiced in the polytheistic society of his day.

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.

You are in Florida, Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the
water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.

Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer... somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's George W. Bush! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to pull him under.

You have two options-you can save the life of G.W. Bush or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men.

So here's the question, and please give an honest answer :

Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

A man came in my office today saying he don't celebrate Christmas because December 25th isn't Jesus Birthday it was a day that ladies had festival on, and Jesus Birthday was in October, so if Jesus Birthday was in October why do you believe ppl go about saying false stories and if his birthday was in October why aren't we celebrating christmas in October?

Good morning all. Serious question about church names, I have always been a bit confused about the "First" that is found on many protestant church names. Such as:
First Baptist
First Methodist
First Christian
etc, etc, etc

My question is twofold:

First, What is the purpose of the title? What does it mean?

Second, if you are at a church that has this in the name, how do you feel about it, in light of Mt 20:16 "So the last shall be first, and the first last"

Thanks for your toughts, have a great day

Ever since I've been a kid, once in a while I will see what looks like (for lack of a better descriptor) heat waves, but in the middle of the sky. They are in a circular shape and seem to be sucked into themselves in the center of the circle. What could this be? I only see this on brighter days, never at night, and both in the city and the country.

I have been looking into christianity for sometime now, but recently due to the exposure of some famous televangelists my faith was shook to to the core. If these men and women of God who I looked up to were not living by Gods word, what's to say that God is even real?
That was my initial thought.

Then I began looking into buddhist teachings and have to say that I found them really insightful and more easy to understand than a lot of text in the bible and have found them really helpful in my life.
My question is, do you think Buddhism contradicts someone pursuing Christianity. Can they work hand in hand or are the teachings too different to work together.

Can American Indians "who live on tribal resevations" do the same
if they want to adopt a child or children out side of their own tribe?

If so;
1. are there any restrictions on American natives who want to adopt
outside their own tribe (should they want to)?
2. Do they receive any other additional benefits that are not
extended to the general American population outside the
reservation or tribe?
3. Where does someone find government guidlines for adoptions as
it relates to American natives wanting to adopt children outside of
their own tribe or reservation?

Do American natives generaly seek such adoption services or
help from the out side from non tribal families?

Or;
Do they have there own self-help adoption services with in their
own tribes or resevations?

Thanks, Ed

Apparently yesterday some people assumed that the shooter in Colorado must have been an atheist and today it was revealed that he was not. Already in the five minutes I’ve been lurking around R&S this morning I’ve seen at least four posts demanding an apology for this.

Do you honestly think you are owed an apology because some people who are probably not that smart to begin with slighted you (and even you personally) on an internet question and answer board which is typically full of nothing but petty arguments anyway?

People are dead in this situation, there are people who have lost loved ones and will never get them back. Regardless of his religion, the fact of the matter is this man killed people and now they’re gone. And yet somehow people here think they are the ones who deserve an apology.

Please tell me someone else out there thinks this is just as ridiculous and yes, just as wrong as I do.

Hoy estar su aniversario y ellos lo (celebrar) _______ en su club favorito.

What would be more correct for the blank? Estan celebrando, or estan celebrandose?

Also, why is estar used for date and not ser. Isn’t that specific day always their anniversary?

ok, so someone just tried to "prove" gods existence with the same old and tired entropy argument...namely that the universe is winding down, that things of their own nature lose energy over time and eventually become inert, etc.

lets just suppose then that some divine force did have to set all these things in motion, and that these same laws that apply to the universe do not apply to this divine source.

can anyone explain to me how this then proves the existence of any ONE god, goddess, or group of gods/goddesses? and why do the people that offer this drivel immediately make the assumption that this proves the existence of their singular and particular god?
