Whether you believe me or not Jesus said those who claim to be Jews are not and that they are lying. The reason why Jesus said this is because those who claim to be Jews have absolutly no proof. The vast majority of Jews are Ashkenazi which means they are descendants of Ashkenaz the son of Gomer whose father was Japheth, the older brother of Shem. Shem was the forefather of Abaraham and Jacob and because Jews are not descended from Jacob they can not rationally be the true children of Israel. You can go to Jewishencyclopedia.com and look up Ashkenaz to confirm what I have said. How truly diabolical to keep Gods true chosen people from their history and thereby hendering their future! But my Hebrew ancestors forsaw their descendants living in ignorance of their historical relationship with the living God. They built tombs and temples and painted biblical scenes as signs of their African origins. Today you can see the real temple of Solomon and the other things he built in Africa.

I ask this question as I'm supposed to be muslim but love a non-muslim guy. I would like to know can someone have the heart to leave someone that they really love for Islam? What about the pain and all that you have for each other? What about if you have kids?

I mean, where does he tell you that you will go to heaven after you die and what all that entails?

I am seeing all of these questions about what proof is there OF GOD and asking how they know he exists. I am asking, "What proof is there that he DOESN'T exist?"
GIVE REASONS FOR ACCURACY OF THIS QUESTION.

If a statement pertains to your lord give one point.

-Mother is a virgin
-Father is a king
-Often a near relative of his mother
-Circumstances of his conception are unusual
-Supposed son of a god
-At birth an attempt to kill him by his father
-But is spirited away
-Reared by foster parents in a foreign country
-Told nothing of his childhood
-Upon manhood he goes to his future kingdom
-After victory over a giant or a dragon or a king...
-...Gets married to a princess
-Becomes king
-Reigns uneventfully
-Prescribes laws
-Later loses favour with his subjects
-Driven from the throne of the city
-Meets with a mysterious death...
-...Often at the top of a hill
-His children, if any do not succeed him
-His body is not buried...
-...And has one or more Holy sepulchres

How did your lord do? Let's look at the scoresheet...

Oedipus-22
Theseus-20
Jesus-19
Romulus-17
Hercules-17
Perseus-16
Zeus-15
Jason-15
Robin Hood-13
Apollo-11

Jesus is number 3 on the list. Not even a decent myth.

I saw this answer a little while ago(I can't remember what the question was), and I'm totally confused. Isn't this circular logic?

I have been reading this book the HOLOGRAPHIC UNIVERSE. i strongly recomend it be read by everyone.IT explains EVERYTHING physics cant .Including so called miricles of god, perhaps they are just a change in the hologram created by the energy(auras) surrounding us all.america has really lost alot of ther spirtual power by giving more credit to a non-existant god than actually crediting themselves for miricles changing thier lifes. the mind(spirt) is a powerfull thing. more powerfull if you dont insult it by giving crdit(to god) where credit is due to your spirit.join humainity in praying for peace, and it will happen.join humanity in fear and the world is in the hands of the government(who controls the fear speading media)

I am so thankful to live in a nation where I am able to worship as I wish and talk about Christ with almost no persecution. Does it make it harder though to be a Christian in the U.S. considering all of the excesses we have here. For instance, we have so many worldly things that try to draw us from our faith- abundant food, drugs, tv, sex, greed, etc.
Considering we live in a nation where we complain and get impatient when a web page takes more ten seconds to come up, while those in other countries walk two miles just to get water for their family how can we truly know what thankfulness is?
In some places people are slaughtered for the sole reason of being a Christian, while here, a Christian's biggest threat is the ACLU trying to take down a cross somewhere.
Does this make us too complacent and not take our faith (in general) seriously enough?
It is nice though, to be in a country where there is such a diversity of people to share my faith with.

What do you all think?

Why do women have abortions?

74% say having a baby would interfere with work, school, or other responsibilities.

73% say they cannot afford to have a child.

48% say they do not want to be a single parent, or have relationship problems with husband or partner.

Less than 2% say they became pregnant as a result of rape or incest.

People are always using the 'dad raped the 12 year old girl and the baby will ruin the girls life' case. less than 2 % of females in america abort FOR THIS REASON. Giving an INNOCENT life up for adoption for all the reasons listed would SOLVE all the problems listed. Don't you agree?

Why do people feel the need to "prove" that there is only one way to believe?

2006-08-03 09:50:00 · 17 answers · asked by oaksterdamhippiechick 5

I saw a question from someone who goes by the name of a demon in a movie expressing sympathy toward Satan. Saying we have only heard one side of the story by listening to God. I truly hope no one else is buying into such garbage. The fruitage Satan and his demons produce is hate, and death. They are not your friends who are trying to enlighten you, they are very deliberately trying to kill you by alienating you from your Creator. Satan does not deserve anybody's pity, he and his spirit clan are responsible for a huge amount of the pain and suffering you see in the world today. They are condemned to die and are trying to take us with them. Do not let yourselves be fooled. Revelation 12:12-9 - 2 Corinthians 4: 3 - 4 and 11:14

Okay, some backstory. I'm not Christian, I'm Wiccan- have been for about 6 or 7 years now. That doesn't mean I am no longer interested in Christianity. A previous question I asked on here was about if Jesus's gift was really free-
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArMETpZge62REgk8LtWXpcHsy6IX?qid=20060803112943AAhG7wV

Someone asked what parts of the Bible I felt the most against, etc. Well, the biggest part for me is the pre-marital sex. In Wicca, sex is not viewed as bad and should be celebrated. I am in a serious relationship with my bf and yes, we do have sex and we also live together. We are committed and monogamous and want to get married. However, financially and due to my needing to finish college, marriage just isn't an option right now (I wish it were). Now, here is where I have the problem- people said that if I were to accept Christ, I would not want to "sin." Most would say that premarital sex was a sin. Here's the dilemma...

And do u think of God as ur servant that has to answer all your prayers the way you want to and at the moment u want to?

Would he be baptist catholic or Lutheran-perhaps he is Jewish also-he coulda been a muslim or Protestant-but you can't tell me he IS agnostic or atheist because God has revealed himself to Lucifer! And because he is both in The old and new testaments as well as the Qaran-could he be baptised as a Christian and then be saved? Oh this I gotta hear!

OK, religioustolerance dot org estimates the percentage of Christians in the world to be about 30%. We'll be generous and say that half of these are "true" Christians that are going to actually go to heaven. Everyone else will be tortured in Hell forever. If given a choice between two realities, which would you prefer to be real:

A. Heaven and Hell are real and you will spend eternity in paradise, while 85% of your fellow human beings suffer unimagineably for all of eternity.

B. There is no life after death and everyone just ceases to exist.

If you choose A. I would like to know if you feel that is selfish of you or not.
