when you read Isaiah 10-14 you will see what I mean

Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, 11 "Ask the LORD your God for a sign, whether in the deepest depths or in the highest heights."

12 But Ahaz said, "I will not ask; I will not put the LORD to the test."

13 Then Isaiah said, "Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

According to the scripture above Isaiah is saying to Ahaz that God will give you a sign. If Ahaz lived hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus then how can the verse possibly be talking about him?

this is shown to be even more of a problem when Isaiah 8: 3-8

decribes the birth of this child...

so again how can Isaiah 7:14 be refering to Jesus?

A real God could have easily made an infallible and indestructable bible that was easy for everyone to understand. But he couldn't do it? Even Christians debate each other about what ot says and don't take the bible "literally? And why didn't Jesus write his own wods? Was he uneducated and illiterate?...lol

What about a heaven? A god? Is there any rational or logical reason to believe in any of that? Why do people then believe in such things? Is it a type of mental illness?

I have been wondering about this alot! According to Islamic faith, pigs were originally human beings from a jewish family and when they disobeyed god commandment god turned them into pigs. one scientific proof is the medical records that indicate pigs have similar organisims to humans. alot of people in north america are obese! why? because they eat pigs? pigs are greedy have been characterized as greedy animals. and also pigs are high in saturated fat. pigs appearance is ugly and fat and obese people possess the same characterstics. do you agree?

the cross as a symbol relates to jesus christ and his suffering on the cross. on 48 hours tonight, it showed the church of scientology's building in hollywood - and the "church" utilizes a cross in it's sign when it has nothing to do with christ. does anyone know why they use the cross in the sign?

anyone watching this awsome special on Scientology on cbs - "48 Hours Mystery"
these Scientology people are really psycho.

but for people in the know.
they went into this story about this kid who was in Scientology.
and he thought he was jesus. and this head Scientologist was going to cure him. and he said in the interview. we see people thinking they are jesus all the time.
why are all the Scientologiest thinking they are jesus? isn't that crazy? they did not ask the guy, why so many think they are jesus. that would have been interesting.

You're cruising along in the Latin Mass and all of a sudden "Kyrie Elieson" pops up (which I take to be Greek). I have't been to Mass in 30 years since I left Catholic high school, but these are the kind of questions that pop into my mind when I am out walking.

Mine does. I'm not totally disgusted but I just wonder why he does such weird and strange things that I've never read about in the Bible. But he said that he is sanctioned by God to do all this. He said that God would strike me down if I ever told anyone about it. So, I'm not telling you anymore than that.

1. In the bible God set the Tree of Knowledge in the garden knowing what would happen. (Setting people up- creating temptation on purpose)
2. Then God condemns ALL of mankind for Adam and Eve's mistake. (giving a reason to make ALL innocent people suffer when they never did the crime- original sin)
3. The bible says God created EVIL and DEATH: Isaiah 45: 7
,Deuteronomy 30: 15
4. God commands and sends EVIL spirits : Judges 9: 23
5. God kills innocent children in Egypt instead of smacking the Pharaoh around.
6. God created Satan? Why? And why not destory Satan, isn;t he God? .....Or maybe God is really Satan in disguise (psycho)....lol

Since there is no evidence of Jesus' miracles nor Joseph Smith's magic golden plates, are either of them credible in the least? What about Mohammad? Did we ever find that magic flying horse?
