Society & Culture - 22 December 2007

God is perfect, powerful, and almighty, but why did he make us to be so flawed? It's something that I never understood.

You might say it came from Adam and Eve's original sin, but WHERE did that original sin first originated from?

Was it actually created by Adam and Eve and not by God himself?

I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to ask.

These social ills are orders of magnitude lower in most European countries, where people have largely grown out of religion and attitudes to sex, nudity etc. are very much more relaxed. Is there a causal connection there?

Do you really believe god made the earth only 6000 years ago and sent his son 2007 years ago to perform magic tricks and tell people that they should be nice to one another? Do you really believe in something that has the factual evidence, scientific provability, and credibility, of a Grim Brothers Fairy tale? Christians like to rant about the problems of evolution and scientific explanations, but fail to see that their version of events is completely laughable, completely lacking in any logic or any evidence what so ever, and insulting to human intellect!

Were they "saved" even though they did not get a chance to know who Jesus Christ was?

do u really blame atheist who do not believe God because they have never met or talked to Him? Fossils and DNA shows we have gradually evolved, can you really blame your fellow human for following their logic?

As per your theory, its superpower god who created universe and not the scientific BIG BANG.
The radio waves are bing sent to other galaxies by Astro scientists and there has been no response of any radio wave from anywhere. this implies that we are alone in this universe.

for humans and other life only sun and earth was suficient, why did god create othe useless bodies, like other planets, stars, galaxies, asteroids, meteors with no life billions of light years away.
doesn't this prove that only big bang could do this and not your god. this implies god is created by you and he didn't create the universe.
please make your god NULL and VOID from here on.
thanks and regards

Passover is an important Jewish holiday where Jews celebrate being taken out of bondage in Egypt. Its name comes from when the Angel of Death saw the blood of the Passover lamb on the doorposts of the houses of Israel and "skipped over" them and did not kill their firstborn.

Easter is commemorating when Christ died on the cross and became a permanent sacrifice, and allowed all people to be taken out of bondage to sin. This took place at the same time as passover did.

I think I went to an "adoration" last Tuesday, and I just wanted to know what the centerpiece thing was.

It looks like a a huge star, something you'd see on top of a Christmas tree.

I hope I'm not being disrespectful by my attempt in describing it, but I just wanted to know what's it's called and what exactly it is.

I'm not sure, a long time ago, someone said it was "G-d" himself, but I don't think I heard correctly.

So fill me in, thanks.

From: Revelation chapter 19:18

Is it the birds? Are the birds supposed to symbolize angels? If the men and horses are symbolic then what do they symbolize? Also, most people drive cars these days, not horses, so do you agree that this may be a prophecy that has not been fulfilled? In other words a false one. If so then how many other prophecies in the bible old and new are false?

that without God there is no hope for ever uniting mankind, and that society will only continue to plunge into immorality. For me, I have experienced an extreme growth of greed, dishonesty, and outright cruelty within the societal structure in the past ten years. I can't say I have experienced anything positive during this time. I need the hope that a higher being will bring peace and unite us, without that I feel the fall of humanity is inevitable. Does anyone else feel that way?
