Let's see: Simon Magus said he was god himself. Jesus of Nazareth comes in a close second by calling himself the son of god. So who's more divine? It's your turn to answer and win absolutely nothing!

Ok so in the beggining there was God, and there was darkness. Right? Then he started creating stuff. Now was the darkness the opposite of God, his foe? God's way is the way of light, So if in the beggining it was him and darkness why did he not eliminate it entierly? Is it because in his nature he can not truely destroy, because of his path of light?


Anything on this subject matter would be appreciated, I do not mean to offend anyone, and if you are religious and your beggining stories are not like this what are they?

Is it really so difficult to believe both hold some truth at the same time??? I mean seriously, you can't take the bible word for word! its a guide. The bible should show you (both directly and indirectly) the attidtudes, morals, views, and actions that are more or less the way God desires it. Whilst it may say that the world was made in 7 days, you must understand that the bible (whilst authored by God) was writen by mankind, and hence 7 days could be an easier way of saying 7 millenia. Many things in the bible are writen in certain ways to make it more understandable, without it loosing its potency.
We are afterall, only human.

How do you use the person that you were before you got saved, to help the ones who are lost and hurting now?

It seems to me a waste of Grace, that God gave us while we were lost not to go back to the people that we can be empathatic with.

Do you think we should go back to where we started and minister? I see so many that forget that no sin is new and God can use the testimony we now have.

There is no pope in the Bible why do we have one? There are only 2 sacraments in the Bible where did the other 5 come from? Could the 7th day of creation still be happening? Matter can not be created or destroyed just altered doesn't that eliminate the creation therory all together? Many people say that evolution is only a theoroy so is creation.

Me and my mom have argued over this topic for years. It's really not in the bible. Fornification is leaving your wife for another woman or selling sex. Sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery is cheating, selling sex, incest, or homosexuality. So I was just wondering what scriptures that leaves left. And I suggest reading closely.

????why don't more people look to his methods for success and follow them. After all, they are found in the book of Proverbs. People spend big money trying to succeed. College is great but very costly. Why not spend $5.00 on a Bible and read it to find the answers to living a successful life???????????? I don't get it, help me understand!!!!
