the findings of goddess related artifacts that are older than anything found supporting a monotheistic religious thought?
My understanding is there is evidence of goddess worship (based on earthly/nature-related) events, then, as humans became aware of the universe, masculine figures appeared...Male & female gods/goddesses were worshipped-then some religions resorted to entirely male dominated religions. Aren't Baal and/or Beezlebub names for gods that existed before and in the same area as where Judaism/Christianity/Islam started?

What of the concept of a "learning god"? One who maybe screwed up a few times in the Old Testament and had to get a good talking-to from various prophets along the way? I learned of this concept from a Rabbi and it just fits so well! God created us in his image -- we assume physical but why not also mental? Did he create us as imperfect beings becasue he too is that way?

I think evolution was happening admist the 7-day creation story, which we really don't know when it happened or how long it really was. I find no reason why evolution and the big bang should conflict w/ the bible, because they are well supported scientific theories. Yet, as a christian I know that God is in control of his creation and that science merely goes into MUCH more detail about God's creation, while the Bible focuses on our salvation> agree??

Im going through a bad spell in a relationship with somebody i care very deeply for and am not sure about what will happen if im baptized. I feel that being baptized will be the greatest thing to ever happen to me but i could also lose this person from my life. Is this a test of faith from Heavenly Father and Jesus? I have prayed for a solution and an answer but have yet to find any comfort.

Why would this fictitious character want to make you do evil things. And don't just say to lead you away from another fictions character you call god or jesus or someone like that I want to know what's in it for him? (well if any of it was real that is)

To my fellow Christians: What are we to be afraid of when we have Christ? He is almighty
So where do you think fear comes from.


P.S: If you have nothing reasonable to offer, stay out, thnx

Then. should women live according to men desires? Aren't men intelligent enough to control themselves and not hurt women cause they are not covered? does that gives them the right to be irrespectful to uncoverded women?

If God is listening to the entire world, do you think if he gives a crap about you getting rich, another republican elected, Chavez's assassination, your kids getting into Harvard, you not going to jail for tax evasion, etc, etc???

Have you got hold of the joy, blessing, honour and assurance of suffering for being a Christian - as well as the pain and hardship?
Why not ask God to lead you through the pain to the gain?

Pretty straight forward question. Just want to see what you say. If the Devil would prove to the whole world that God (in whatever shape God comes in) was real, without a doubt left in anyone's mind, would you sell your soul to him?

A Christian friend of mine told me his parents refuse to celebrate Christian Holidays for *religious reasons* - because they are "true Christians" and the holidays are taken from old pagan celebrations. Are there any other Christians out there that are so *anti-pagan* that they don't honor their own religion's holy days on the basis that the dates chosen to celebrate them correspond to the holidays of some traditions of paganism?
I had never heard of anyone that does this, so am curious if there are others like this and why.

Why can't christians accept... Carbon dating proves the bible lies? Ie proves the world older then 5000 years.


If proof can be found the earth is older then the bible says... thats proof its not perfect, therefore no god...

Carbon dating proves the world is millions of years old

We hear lots of stories from the fictional book yet where are the facts clear cold can be seen with the human eyes and tested or even better the almighty appearing and saying here I am and proving himself, Oh hang on who are we to question god, he will punish you, is that what god does punish not a very kindly god is he?

the great minds of Christianity througout the ages have never been able to clear up questions about God being all-powerful and the concept of free will, and the devil having power over people. They have never been able to solve the puzzle of a 3-in one God.

Is this why the chuch demands blind faith in the face of nonsensical contradictions?
