No disrespect, just curious. Was he gay maybe? He hung out with 12 guys but not a single woman came on to him. Well, there is that business with Mary Magdalene . . . please enlighten me. If he really was a man, it must have been tough as a teenager to be celibate. If he really was human . . . Is the Bible imposing its own censorship? If so, then the where's the Truth? The reason I ask is I wonder if there's a possiblity of any descendants?

11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, ACCORDING TO THEIR VARIOUS KINDS." And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed ACCORDING TO THEIR KINDS and trees bearing fruit with seed in it ACCORDING TO THEIR KINDS. And God saw that it was good... 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, ACCORDING TO THEIR KINDS, and every winged bird ACCORDING TO ITS KIND. And God saw that it was good…24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures ACCORDING TO THEIR KINDS: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, EACH ACCORDING TO ITS KIND." And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals ACCORDING TO THEIR KINDS, the livestock ACCORDING TO THEIR KINDS, and all the creatures that move along the ground ACCORDING TO THEIR KINDS. And God saw that it was good.
Pretty good job of answering the question millenia before it was asked!

Theory of evolution and the interpretation of Genesis

See also: Evolution and the Roman Catholic Church.

In an October 22, 1996, address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Pope John Paul II updated the Church's position to accept evolution of the human body:

"In his encyclical Humani Generis (1950), my predecessor Pius XII has already affirmed that there is no conflict between evolution and the doctrine of the faith regarding man and his vocation, provided that we do not lose sight of certain fixed points....Today, more than a half-century after the appearance of that encyclical, some new findings lead us toward the recognition of evolution as more than an hypothesis. In fact it is remarkable that this theory has had progressively greater influence on the spirit of researchers, following a series of discoveries in different scholarly disciplines.
Oh just read th elink

Is there a possibility that, since the nations show little regard for God's purpose they might completely ruin the earth for habitation anyway? Isn't that what Satan wants is rule or ruin?
Is God going to allow him to destroy the earth?

Speaking of all Christians1 Peter 2:9 says "ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood". But can you show me where it says we need a priestly order with a Pope at the top of the heap?

I think the Jewish priesthood was transfered to Rome by Caiaphas the high priest when he made the proclamation "We have no king but Caesar."

Therefore, when Rome evicted the Jews from the land, it was within this acquired authority to do so. When Rome executed Jews who wouldn't submit to their religious authority, it was also by this authority.

Rome renamed the land "Palestina", and to this day have opposed the Jews occupation of the land.

Second part of the question; Do you believe in "replacement theology", that is that because the Jews rejected their Messiah, all the promises to Jews now fall upon Christians?

Just so I don't get called names, I should tell you, I don't believe this way.

You go on a trip to Australia. Your mother is with you, and she got bit by a snake, and will die in a few seconds. You have the anti venom. You can give it to her or pray. What comes first? Do you value praying over medicine? The catch is, your mouth is dry from the hot air, soo bad that you can't talk. You can get a water bottle, and wet your moth so you can pray, but if it does not work, she is dead. Get the water, and pray, or anti-venom? What do you do? What do you value more?

If NO, I say to you, the Lord deserves to be praised. He is worthy to be praised. Praise the Lord of all his marvelous works. Praise him in all the earth, for he is greatly to be praised. Give the Lord a shout, shout to the Lord, call on his name. Cry to the Lord, for if you need help. Praise him, the Lord of all the earth. The King who is greatly to be praised. I say to you, the Lord loves it when we praise him. O ye people of God worship him, for is greatly to be worshipped. For he is the creator of the heavens and the earth. For the trees worship the Lord, and the waters roar and sing to the Lord. Praise the Lord for he is good. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.

The sign was supose to be a composite one made up of many evidences. so to be fulfilled all aspects of the sign would have to be clearly evident. and in one generation. Because it says that generation. Aspects of the sign are recorded in Matthew 24, 25
Mark 13 and Luke 21 there are further details at 2 timothy 3:1-5
2 peter 3:3-4 and revelation 6:1-8
Do these sound like what we are seeing or do you think it will get worse? How many thinks we are in the last days.
and what will happen in the future?

If your mother fell down the steps, and she had a broken neck, would you pray for her, or get he to a hospital? There are no theists in foxholes. When it comes down to it, science beats out religion in my book. How about you? She will die with no help. Will you let god help, or a doctor? You have time to call god with a prayer, or a doctor with the phone. Who will help you? Who do you turn to.
Medicine or prayer?
Religion or science?
God or 911?
Time for one call.
Who do you pick?

It is said that humans are a paradox. Both a physical and
spiritual, (multi-dimensional), being. Therefore our world is
filled with paradoxes. Situations which work against themselves
and are self-defeating. Where two things can sound contradictory
and both be true. Do you find this to be true?

Do you realize that by your own admission ("I was once a Christian, but now I am an Athiest.") that you never truely were a Christian?
What does it mean to be a Christian? Lets list it out:
#1) You believe that there is a God and that his son on this earth was Jesus Christ, who was crucified on a cross, and saved us from our sins.
#2) You accept that Jesus is your savior, you believe that you are a sinner, and you confess those sins.
#3) You try to live your life by Gods teachings and you ask forgiveness for the times that you do fall short and sin.
#4) You believe from that point on ,no reverting back, that you are saved and will spend eternity with God and Jesus.
#5)You do as God commanded and spread his word of salvation to anyone that you meet whose soul is lost.
If you can not say that that is the way you believe and live your life at this exact moment, then you never were a true Christian. You were a false Christian. Never saved or true believer. Did you know that?
