I've had sex with 9 women, 6 before I met my wife, and 2 after.

Would you say this is sin?

In Mark 15: 32, we are told that Jesus was put on a “cross” to be crucified:
Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

The word for “cross” here in Greek is “stauros”, which James Strong defined as:

(4716) from the base of 2476; a stake or post (as set upright), i.e. (specifically) a pole or cross (as an instrument of capital punishment); figuratively, exposure to death, i.e. self-denial; by implication, the atonement of Christ: –cross.[1]

Yet in I Peter 2:24, we are told that Jesus was crucified on the “tree”:

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye

The word for “tree” in Greek is “xulon”, and is defined by Strong as:

(3586)from another form of the base of 3582; timber (as fuel or material); by implication a stick, club or tree or other wooden article or substance: –staff, stocks, tree, wood.[2]

The error here is obvious. The Greek word stauros means definitively a “cross”. There is no double meaning employed to the word. Whereas the word xulon can be translated interchangeably as “wood”, “staff”, “tree”, etc. but in the case of I Peter 2:24, it is translated as “tree”. Now we need to ask why would the word xulon was used in the first place when there is a more definitive word for it, stauros, if the verse really intends to mean the “cross”?

It is therefore obvious that the word xulon is indeed used for “tree” in I Peter 2:24, and therefore there is a contradiction with Mark 15: 32.

I certainly wouldn't, and I am sure neither would you. But why do so many people choose to celebrate holidays like Christmas and Easter, when they know that they have pagan origins? Does where something orignated really matter? No religion or holiday bashing please; just share your thoughts.

During the end of times when Satan reigns on earth he will try to convince us that Aliens did indeed plant us here. That we was made by them, but it will all be a lie.

Satan himself, a fallen angel, are what we call Aliens today. He was banished from the Heavens by Micheal the Arch Angel, just like the Bible wrote. When satan was cast to earth, along with the 3rd of the Angels, it was at that point that the fallen ones took each of them wives, and mated with female humans. That is where sin started. Satan corrupted the bloodline of us humans. Satan and the fallen ones taught us things we was not suppose to know or do. If you read the book of Enoch you will get a better understanding of what really happened, and why the church suppressed the real truth.

Satan tried to prevent the birth of Christ, because with prophecies being fullfilled then us, believers in Christ, had a way out. Satan did not want that, so he tried to have Jesus killed on many occcasions as a baby child.
Sat

But he was a mortal with a mission, a chosen prophet of God, with God given miracles and a message from the almighty, to guide people when they have sinned, to teach the jews that their religion was taken apart and they had lost so much of their original guidance by Moses they needed another reminder.

Whats wrong with thinking that?

when your doctor says u have a breast cancer or lung cancer or liver cancer or even brain cancer who are u going to seek help when u cannot pray to god for hope. that god will find a cure for your illness will u take ur sickness like a man or a girl and accept it as a part of life and hoping your doctor will find a cure or if you have money you can find the best doctor.that can cure ur cancer. when everyone knows that cancer is very difficult to cure, its like a death sentence in your life so will u just let your mind not to think about it when u know u might die someday and get very , very depressed or feel sad about it . or do like the christian's do seek help to god and pray that god will give you a miracle and will let your mind in peace knowing that there is hope . okay thanks

"Haha, he was only human!"... come on, isn't that just weaselling around? Somebody said that Jesus didn't know that he was coming back in three days, well, he KNEW that he was doing miracles and he KNEW the prophecies and he KNEW that he was God's son. So, what was the big feat to him?
We just seem to be mincing words around here. "Father, why have you forsaken me?" ... sure when he's already nailed up. And this proves...what exactly?
He also said, "I am thirsty!" , after he had told a woman at a well that if she believed in him she would never thirst again. Oh yea, then it is written that THAT was just said to fulfill a prophecy!! You guys have had a couple of thousand years to 'doctor' the books, harmonizing you call it, of course it's been made as circular as possible.
Why else is he up there saying things to fulfill prophecy on the one hand and (kind of late) not being sure on the other hand?

Paul was the author of "Grace" myth when he said in Romans 3:28 "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.". But as far as Jesus, he said in JOHN 14:15 " If you love me, keep my commandments."Which one do you liston to, Jesus or Paul? I liston to Jesus and you?

I hear all the rationale about God caring such as

1. We don't listen
2. He can't solve all of our problems - life is a test
3. God gives us choices - people cause pain, not God
4. We mere mortals are not exhalted enough to see or speak to God.

We often refer to God the father. I can only speak in human terms, but when I think of a father figure, I think of someone who spends time with his kids.

Someone who talks to his kids, someone who helps his kids, someone who would never want pain to come to his kids.

Again, I've heard all the arguments, but wouldn't it be nice if God really spent time with us, talked to us, acknowledged that he is helping us so that we know he is there...it really is all based on faith and sometimes that is really tough to understand.

Have you all ever heard of Alex King.(Google it)12 year old boy in a relationship with a 31 year old man.Alex was in love with this man he wrote pages and pages in his journal about it.And of Course Rick Chavis also proclaimed love4 the young child.

Both love each other what's wrong with it?

Oh I see because it wasn't love it was a young boy being preyed upon by an adult.That man Ricky Chavis was using that lonely little boy to fulfill his own perverse needs.

Have you ever heard of N.A.M.B.L.A North American Men Boy Love Association?

If you ask them then you will see a wealth of people that agree with Ricky and Alex's relationship.They truly believe in their brand of love as acceptable.Should we accept it?Why not?
I mean so many of these Nambla men feel they are not wrong that it is love.

How can a huge group of people be so deceived into thinking something so wrong and perverse is ok, loving?

Homosexuality and Pro choice
Let's start there.......
