Does that mean the Bible is wrong about other things too? (Duh)
For proof of injustice (besides reading the Bible) God makes kids sick for no good reason. Holding someone accountable for another's action is obviously unjust (as in original sin), and some blame sickness on O.S. Being born AFTER Adam is not a punishable crime. Passing punishment down lineage is unjust. If you can't understand that...nasty mean things come to mind...you're a bad person.

Nothing like a little hypocricy and incitement to foster peace. Looks like Iranians want to participate in the very acts they condemn. Way to go Iran!

"Mr Mortazavi said that tomorrow's edition of the paper would invite cartoonists to enter the competition, with gold coins as prizes for the 12 winning artists -- the same number of cartoons that appeared in the conservative Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten lighting the touchpaper for fury which has swept around the Islamic world."

"Farid Mortazavi, graphics editor for Tehran's Hamshahri newspaper, said that the deliberately inflammatory contest would test out how committed Europeans were to the concept freedom of expression."

I don't believe that Heaven is a place where you just drift around on clouds and play harps all day. I would like to think that the spirit world is productive. I would like to be in charge of the puppies. What are your thoughts? I am sure I will get negative answers from the believers and non-believers. Go ahead, I will pick out the good ones.

That is what bible prophecy teachers like Hals Lindsey and everyone else taught in church in the 1980's back when there were less then 10 nations in the European Union. These were suppose to be the 10 horns of the revived Roman Empire over which the Antichrist would rule according to bible prophecy. They made a lot of money off of fools selling that story. Then country 11 joined, then 12, and so on. Now there are over 25 nations in the EU and more waiting to join. When Israel became a nation in 1948, they made money by teaching that that 40 year generation would not be over until Jesus returns. That period ended in 1988 with no Jesus, so bible prophecy had to be redone again. IF you are young and excited about today's events fulfilling bible prophecy, go and ask your grand parents or other old people how excited they were about the same thing in the 1940s, 1950s, 1969s etc. Read the history of bible prophecy, and see how every generation for the last 2000 years in end times.

For anything at all to be, or to exist, didn't it first have to be an idea or plan or effort of something ? How could that not be so ?

Who says it is not right to kill, steal, and cheat? Would we as human beings automatically know that stealing, killing and cheating are wrong? If there was no religion at all wouldn't the world be similar to hell. People doing whatever they want because they don't know any better? Please all Christian and xtians feel free to explain.

So if you buy into the supernatural spooky bible, do you also believe in hobgoblins, witches? Maybe unicorns and leprechauns?
Or do you just choose which made up things to believe in and which not to believe in? C'mon you gotta know it's a bunch of crap.

Then why is the lack of an NDE in the vast majority of people who recover from near death not proof of the lack of an afterlife?

...for those who believe NDEs are more than just brain malfunction

Matthew 5: 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

1 Corinthians 4: 12-13 When we are cursed, we bless, when we are persecuted we endure it, when we are slandered we answer kindly. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.

2 Corinthians 4:8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

Romans 12: 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

I just want to encourage all of you; my brothers and sisters in Christ, to not give up even when people attack you and your faith. I hope these verse will encourage you. Lets continue to stand up for the truth on Yahoo answers.

God Bless you!

It's good to see Noble Ones.
Happy their company--always.
Though not seeing fools
constantly, constantly
one would be happy.

Why doth ye realize that homosexual love and homosexual sex are two very different things?

Marriage is, ideally, and institution of love, not one of sex and babymaking (although it may include that).

Jesus sayeth unto you, love ALL men and ALL women, just as I have loved thee. Jesus loves ALL love, and NO sex (for pleasure).
