The Son of King Solomon and The Queen of Sheba, named Menelik, removed the Ark after Solomon taught him to become King. He took the First Born sons of the Elders of Israel and The Ark of the covenant back to Ethiopia where began the Solomonic Lineage of Kings in Ethiopia. See "Kebra Negast: The Glory of The Kings".

It really pains me to see people that believe in freedom of religion and equality for all on here basically treating Christians like we are unequal and that our beliefs are so far fetched. If you really believe in freedom of religion, then stop questioning what we believe in. If you don't want to believe in Christ, then that's you. We're not trying to make you believe what we believe.

Why are they so persecuted? I personally can't tell them apart from any other white people. And don't give me this "their noses give them away" stuff cuz I know mexican jews that don't have big noses or curly hair.

"He believes he was chosen by God to lead the United States; that he gets advice from God; and that what he does is both inspired and sanctioned by God. He does not accept criticisms of this doctrine."

How is this thought any different from the feelings of the Muslim terrorists? They believe they are doing what thier God asks of them. Even if they are wrong, if they are worshiping the wrong God if there is one, isn't the fact that religion plays a HUGE factor in most all wars a good reason to get it out and keep it out of politics?

that don't believe in God or His Word continue to use His Word to try and support their sinful ways? Could it be because they are being convicted in themselves because they know they are wrong? they get sooooooo angry when a Christian uses scripture ( they can't take it), but then they'll try to use it -whats up with that?

It was only moderately recently that you all though that the earth was the centre of the gravity.

It seems your faith has a sense of Evolution.

Can you see how the story evolved and then got all mixed up?

Is your mind not just a function of your brain cells? Does your mind not cease to exist when your brain dies? It is impossible to know what it's like for your mind to not exist, but is that not what happens when you die? What makes more sense; Some form of an afterlife? Or nothingness?

I believe the Bible is God's love letter to us and that its message is for everyone. It's our owner's manual so to speak.

This would include studying the possibility of studying comparative global religions (trying to include as broad a spectrum as possible) or a single religion in depth.

If the scriptural texts (e.g., the Bible, the Quran) were used, they would be discussed in historical context, and any present day applications would have to have a balanced presentation (no single-source, "this is the truth," endorsements).

These classes could be taught in a history or social studies departments.

And in order to meet the separation of church and state, clergy would be allowed to address the classes and there would be no advocacy for joining a particular religion.

Job 39:10 Canst thou bind the UNICORN with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

Deu 33:17 His glory [is like] the firstling of his bullock, and his horns [are like] the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they [are] the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.

Psa 22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

Isa 34:7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

A pink or white unicorn? Can it do magic? Does it ride on rainbows? Wouldn't it look cool airbrushed on the side of a van?

On the grand scheme of things we are hardly a grain of sand on teh largest desert.

And we are neither positioned centrally to anything.

Our galaxy is also insignificant.

Why did god make us so insignificant, di dhe create others more significant and

DO NOT PASTE A WHOLE LOAD OF UNREFERENCED GARBAGE OR PASSAGES FROM THE BIBLE.

I am a hanif-muslim and I have come to the conclusion that ALLAH is the lord GOD of Israel.And jehova, jesus, and the father are a different diety.This is blasphemy to most, but true to my PEACE.Even in the psalms of david(pbuh), he referred to his GOD as the lord GOD of Israel to add to the 99+1 names and qualities of ALLAH.And it was the so called believers who troubled his soul so much.

Why is it when a Christian points out something that is totally unacceptable by God, in accordance to His Word, non-believers want to get hostile and call Christians "homophobes" and such?

he picks on me so much. Sometimes it feels like he has a personal vendeta against me. I've done some good things in my life. I served my country in the military, when my mom died I took custody of my younger brother, I'm not a criminal, I pay bills, And although I'm not perfect I do try to do good in life. So why do I have to dread waking up every morning because I don't know how my life can get any worse, but I know that some how today it will. I get bad news everyday. Sometimes I just want to scream out "God give me a break, I'm trying my best here". I know that what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger but there is only so much a person can take. I just don't know what to do anymore. I have my life all figured out in the sense that I know what I want out of life. I'm not trying to sound like I am complaining but I guess that is what I am doing. I am complaining about how some people just get an easy ride through life while others have to fight their heart out to survive one day.

My question might sound irrelevant to some peopel, But I could care less. Alot of people believe there is not "a" god, But yet why do "Some"of you use things that are of the church or of christianity,Such was wedding in the churches, why not get married in court instead or pastors preaching in a funeral,why not just bury the person? The Question is to "Some" because I know some of you take it to the extreme.

I have answered many questions on here about homosexuals asked by Christians who think that being gay is wrong. In my answers, I include the following quotes from the Bible:

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." -Matthew 7:1-2

"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
-Matthew 9:19

"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves." -Matthew 7:15

And yet none of these supposed Christians have responded to what I have said. Do Jesus' teachings only apply to things that don't creep you out? Homosexuals are regular human beings who happen to be attracted to members of their own sex. Aside from that fact, they are the same as everyone else. They do no one any harm. How do Christians justify ignoring Jesus' words and preaching hatred?

I suggest that anyone doing so is one of the false prophets.
