If God really made a new covenant, why didn't he tell anyone? When he made the "original" covenant, he told all of those who were supposed to keep it at Mount Sinai so that there could be no question as to whether the covenant actually came from God. But by the "new" covenant, he didn't do anything like that. Does he play games - What of those Jews who were still keeping the old one, why didn't he tell them? Saying that Jesus was supposed to spread the covenant is unacceptable because there is no proof that Jesus actually was God (Miracles are not a proof of God, that's in the Bible)

Something that could not at all happen in nature...something that HAD to be a miracle. If so, would you tell us what happened?

Not much. Eat, sleep (a lot), and they OBEY THEIR MASTER! Then, they go and sleep some more. Difference = none.

'YOUARE GOING TO BURN'
and
'AIDS is the cure'
and
'Murder the abortionists!'

You are all so quick to denounce God and mock Him and those who follow Him. Where you get all this hatred is beyond me but when you're old enough to have children of your own you'll realize God exists. I think you're all just too naive and immature to accept it. You don't understand how powerful words are and there may be some vulnerable young person on here who hasn't made up his mind yet about God and thinks, "hey it must be cool not to believe in Him because that's what everybody else seems to be doing!" And for what, so he can spend eternity without God? What is so detestable about wanting to spend forever with your creator? The amount of hatred on this site astounds me! I am telling you for your own eternity, accept God and His love and just wait to see what amazing things He can do for you!! In an instant all that hurt and sorrow will be wiped away. You will have a peace beyond understanding. I know, because I have it!!! Will you ask Jesus into your heart? Or mock me?

To the Christian, what are your views on reading fantasy/mythology as literature? Is it sinful to read it? Is it sinful to enjoy the stories? Or is it only sin if you worship the mythological gods? Please give three reasons to back up your claims. Well constructed answers can mean much.

I was attending a Pentacostal church in which I believed to recieve the Holy Ghost and "spake" in new tounges, I was completely filled with happiness for a few years straight, living as God would have me to live, and I would never hesitate to quote scripture, and stand for the faith happily. Hoping one day would come when I could be 'lucky' enough to die for my faith in Jesus Christ. I was very devout, a preacher at only 18 years old, someone who taught in the classes and I was loved by everyone.

I was not always in Church though, I grew up rough, smoke and drank all the time, long story short I found meaning and fullfillment in my life through the blood of Jesus.

It's been awhile now, since I stopped going to that beloved church, I don't know exactly what happened, but somehow I broke away from the people of God, from my family. Now I've failed at most parts in my life, and I'm back down to living at my parent's house again, and I'm unemployed.

What do you think of this?

what makes the god that christians worship the only god? what about the greeks and romans who lived in a polytheistic religious society? what makes their gods any less important? and further more, since they believed so strongly that their gods were real, how can we be sure that they were wrong? will people look back on us in a few thousand years and laugh at the god we believed to be in existence just as we do today in regard to ancient romans and greeks? please don't give one-liners like "well you just have to have faith". i would appreciate if you could put some thought into your answers. thanks for your time.

I think that I would enjoy meeting Jim Hensen, but that is assuming also that he has also been admitted, which I am hoping you will do the same.

I have researched Onan's sin; and Iehovah's order to Adam to be fruitful and multiply; but I still can't find what is conclusive truth.

This is known as Galileo's paradox. He started that every number is the square root of something (2 is of 4, 3 is of 9, etc.) but not all numbers are squares. So logically there has to be more numbers than there are squares, but if all numbers are the square root of another number, then there has to be the same number of squares as there are numbers. How is this possible?

'Your petitioners are Atheists and they define their lifestyle as follows. An Atheists loves himself and his fellow man instead of a god. An Atheist thinks that heaven is something for which we should work for now - here on earth- for all men together to enjoy. An Atheist accepts that he can get no help through prayer but that he must find in himself the inner conviction and strength to meet life, to grapple with it, subdue and enjoy it. An Atheist thinks that only in knowledge of himself and a knowledge of his fellow man can he find the understanding that will help to a life of fulfillment.

"Therefore, he seeks to know himself and his fellow man rather than to 'know' a god. An Atheist knows that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An Atheist knows that a deed must be done instead of a prayer said. An Atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death.

He wants disease conquered, poverty vanquished, war eliminated. He wants man to understand and love man. He wants an ethical way of life. He knows that we cannot rely on a god nor channel action into prayer nor hope for an end of troubles in a hereafter. He knows that we are our brothers' keepers in that we are, first, keepers of our lives; that we are responsible persons, that the job is here and the time is now."
