For those of you who have your own ideas about what we are, where we came from, and where we're going. I'm curious about other people's philosophies. The wilder the better. I apologize if this question has already been asked twelve dozen times. :)

And why do many Protestants today find the teaching of Jesus in John Chapter 6 to be a hard teaching and reject it?

If yes, where in the world is it.In the bible, it stopped right there where Adam and Eve evicted because of their disobedience and then they multiplied and never mentioned again the Garden of Eden where and what happened. Can anyone point out what part of the world is it?

I know a lot of peopel think the bible is inerrant and whatnot but everything in it is THIRD not first person. also many people assume they know every blasted thing about Jesus and what went on then but the bottom line is THEY WERE NOT THERE!!! its been 2000 years and too many wars have been waged because of christianity.

If Jesus was like his father hed be a serial killer. now thats a thought!

I am white and have an african american boyfriend yet my religous family refuses to accept that fact. They refuse to even talk to him because of his color but he is the most intelligent, sweet person I have ever met. It makes me think that if, for example, i was homosexual, that i would be ripped apart like him. My thoughts are that it Jesus died for the forgiveness of our sins not the power to identify sins, and as long as it is not physically hurting anyone else then what gives us the right to judge anyone else. We are not the judge, god is....if im wrong please let me know....

I once joined a certain church (no names) and I would hear the pastor mumbling to himself during a prayer. I asked someone what this was all about and they told me the pastor was " talking in tongues ".

My question is :- If that is so, why was there no-one there to interpret what he was saying?

this is a serious question, but all answers welcome.

A while ago I came across some very interesting information
on the ancient church. Apparently it is not against the halacha
( jewish law) for two women to be together. On another
note two men together was punishable by death.

Lesbians and bisexual women where allowed
and thought of as worthy of marraige to a High
Priest as long as they covenanted to bear children
unto him. There was apparently a priest in the post-
talmudic period who tried to make it unlawful but,
he was overturned by the other high priests.

I have a long page about this on file. Unfortunately
there is not enough space on here to post it.
I will however post the links that might be of
interest to some.

(1) Married.
(2) Engaged in consentual intercourse with a female.
(3) Fathered children.

I don't understand why any of these things would be offensive in nature to Christians.

Do you think before the fall that he may have physically been able to walk in the garden with Adam and Eve there? Was his separation not only mental but physical? Do you think that when mans eyes were open, he could not stand to look upon a Holy God? Just wondering..........

The Bible seems to condone the act of a man and a man to lie with one another; but is it actually against two people of the same gender becoming hitched?
