NE,5,10 and many more

1 Kings 7:23
23 And he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.
(New King James Version)
30 units for circumference, 10 units for radius.

Science teaches us that the value of pi, the ratio of circumference to radius is about 3.14. Using 3 won't work. Yet proponents of a literal interpretation of the Bible would have you believe that if you have faith you can make a circle with a circumference of 30 and a radius of 10.

Is it possible the 1 Kings 7:23 is mistranslated from the Hebrew? Did God inspire the author to round?

Did God inspire the author of Genesis to round, regarding the Origin of the Species?

Doesn't sound to peaceful to me. Ignorant people of the world, understand this. Islam is NOT a peaceful religion. It is a religion of violence. Are you aware that Muslims are charged with one of three things upon encountering "infidels" (non-believers): Attempt to convert them (this is okay). If they don't convert, subjigate and tax them (not really peaceful). If they still don't convert, KILL THEM (does this sound like "peaceful" to you)?

Why a Jew can grow his beard in order to practice his faith
But when Muslim does the same, he is an extremist and terrorist!


Why a nun can be covered from head to toe in order to devote herself to God
But when Muslimah does the same she is considered oppressed


When a western women stays at home to look after her house and kids she is respected because of sacrificing herself and doing good for the household?
But when a Muslim woman does so by her will, they say, "she needs to be liberated"!


Any girl can go to university wearing what she wills and have her rights and freedom?
But when Muslimah wears a Hijab they prevent her from entering her university!


When a child dedicates himself to a subject he has potentials.
But when he dedicates himself to Islam he is considered hopeless!


When a Christian or a Jew kills someone his religion is not mentioned
But when Muslim is charged with a crime, it is Islam that goes to trial!


When someone sacrfices himself to keep others alive, he is noble and all respect him.
But when a Palestinian does that to save his son from being killed, his brother's arm being broken, his mother being raped, his home being destroyed, and his mosque being violated -- He gets the title of a terrorist! Why? Because he is a Muslim!


Whenever there is a trouble we try to find and solution to it and generally accept any solution?
But if the solution lies in Islam, we refuse to take a look at it.


When someone else drives a car in a bad way no one blames him.
But when any Muslim makes the same mistake - people say "Islam is the reason"!


Without looking to the traditions of Islam, people believe what the newspapers say.
But question is what the Quran says!

My family is native american/white, have been here since the beginning...

And then you see stuff like, "kill the muslims," or "get them before they get you." Isn't that type of mentality what you are saying muslims preach? Yet, I have yet to hear a muslim say to kill or even hurt anyone, but I hear it from christians ALL the time.

Your thoughts?

You can take one verse out of the bible and support just about anything, from rape to murder of non-christians. All it takes is to simply quote 1 verse out of context.

So why do they do it with the Quran? It just isn't right... not nice at all...

Sometimes when I pull up at the grocery store and I see someone heading toward me that I know is very talkative, I pick up my cell phone and act like I'm talking to someone to avoid them. Is this wrong by being decietful? Why should I have to stand there and talk when I don't want to?

How do you account for the existence of the universe, aside from humans and souls and whatnot. How did it come to be? I'm not a big science person, but aren't there galaxies/solar systems that we've never seen but know exist? How do you account for those?

Forgive me if I didn't phrase this properly, but you do know what i'm getting at.

Thanks. : )

I notice after my last question people who appear to be proponents of the creationism just took off on me, calling me ignorant and that there was no evidence for macro-evolution.

Its as if there is two conversations.

A: The Bible is the truth, god made human.

B: Here are some evidences regarding the Evolution of species on earth, not just humans, but other species too.

A: You are ignorant. On page one of my God book it says God made man.

B: So we got this fossil record here and some expiriments showing the age of the Earth is older than 6000 years old.

A: Why are you ignorant? Are book says right here on page one God made human.

Some of you might think I'm being funny. I'm not. Not at all.

I love being at home. I never want to leave. I do not like going anywhere, the store, work, church, family or friend's house. Is this ok or am I being selfish or lazy? If I never had to leave my home, I never would. What would Jesus say to me about this?

Hey,

I need the verse in the bible that describes "God the Father"'s image and his thrown...I just remember gems, sapphire, and a sea of crystal.

I believe it's either in Revelation or Daniel, but I'm not sure...

And, I'm not talking about this one:

"And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength." (Revelation 1:12-16 KJV)

Why not? No one knows who made this watch. How can you prove that it wasn't God?

What if it's a gorgeous solid gold watch, as beautiful as a sunset or a child's smile? Doesn't that prove that God created it?

Shouldn't we all agree to have faith that God created the watch?

What's that you say? There is PROOF that men and women make watches? Eyewitness proof? All kinds of proof. It's not just written up in one book, but in countless books?

Is it, perhaps, more logical to say, "I don't know who made this watch, and perhaps I never will?

Or do you have another theory?

I have a very good friend who is a born-again christian and attends a bible fellowship church. I have a one year old baby boy and I intend on dressing him up for Halloween and taking him out. I love Halloween and I have a lot of decorations and I love to give out candy and see all the costumes. My friend says I am commiting a great sin before the lord and that the lord sees this as "evil" and that Halloween is satan's holiday and we should not partake in it at all. I say it is just a great day for kids to be kids and have fun. What do you think???
