Hey christians, I have a question for you. Why is it that some christians use and follow the New Testament only and exclude the Old Testament or the Torah.

{Note: Now I am aware that some christians in the world use only the New Testament because that is the only portion of the bible that is presently available in their language. Those are not the christians I am talking about. I am asking about the christians who do have the Old Testament available in their language, however do not regard it and read only the New testament}

The procreation argument is frequently used in why gay marriages should be banned. However, not every heterosexual person has the capability to procreate either. So does this make the heterosexual who cannot have children by natural means against the laws of nature also? And if not, is it just a convienent form of discrimation against homosexual people to say that they are?

"Our Father who art in heaven ....

and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil"

in this "The Lord's Prayer" one addresses "our Father" beseeching not to be led into temptation. who traditionally leads us into temptation? and who, therefore is "our Father"?

It irks me that religious people, namely Christians, want to pray for me (and other non-Christians) because of my lack of acceptance of their faith. It's really of no concern to them what my beliefs are. Don't they realize that my soul does not need to be saved from anything, and I am perfectly capable of speaking with God in my own way?

I've often wondered why people, particularly Christians, react with fear at the word, "occult." From Wikipedia,

"The word occult comes from the Latin occultus (clandestine, hidden, secret), referring to the 'knowledge of the secret' or 'knowledge of the hidden' and often popularly meaning 'knowledge of the supernatural', as opposed to 'knowledge of the visible' or 'knowledge of the measurable', usually referred to as science. The term is sometimes popularly taken to mean 'knowledge meant only for certain people' or 'knowledge that must be kept hidden', but for most practicing occultists it is simply the study of a deeper spiritual "reality" that extends beyond pure reason and the physical sciences. The terms esoteric and arcane can have a very similar meaning, and the three terms are often interchangeable.

Now the believers are trapped in a corner with that question, and I can anticipate them trying to lie or argue their way out. They always do.

I'm looking for more scriptures which prove the Bible is scientifically accurate. Below are a few I obtained from another posters message. Do any of you have more?

The Earth is Round and suspended in space

Job 26:7,10 Prov 8:27, Isaiah 40:22, Amos 9:6
the Bible revealed the truth in 1000 B.C. 2500 years before man made a false estimated, and correctly discovered it for himself!

The Hydrologic Water Cycle

Ecclesiastes. 1:6-7, Ecclesiastes 11:3,Job 26:8, Amos 9:6
The water cycle was not fully understood until about 30 B.C. by a Roman engineer named Marcus Vitruvius.
Yet every aspect of the water cycle was fully revealed to mankind in 1600 B.C.! The Bible's description is in perfect harmony with modern science. Vitruvius was 1600 years too late!

Cow in India is reverend by all, but over the years cow has become a ritual figure rather than being the real saviour of human kind as mentioned in the Hindu Shastras .

We see many races about us today, proving that IF the world started with one man and one woman, they have evolved into many different races.

Perhaps some evolved into monkeys, although I am sure all monkeys would be insulted by that suggestion.

Some christians say that homosexuality is unnatural and that God ordained marriage between a man and a woman. However, not everyone is Christian so those tenents don't hold true for them. So basically, that means they are trying to impose their views on how society should be on everyone regardless of belief. Is it right for one religion to set the social tone for a country when the country has no official religious belief?

Appears on things like Toast, Tree Bark, Chocolate, Cheese Sandwiches? I personally think its not real and its just an optical illusion. But what do you think about people lighting candles around these "false Idols". And do you think its crazy that these things can actually perform miracles?

If that is so, are my grandparents allowed to have sex, given that my grandma is unable to have children anymore?

What about when a woman is "barrren." Can she not have sex with her husband?

Last week, I worked with my brother who is a building contractor. The day's project was a residential remodel. The house looked good from the outside, but the inside was not a pretty sight. My brother took me to the back room and said, work on this room today. He said, "The walls in this room are worn and damaged". "Tear down the drywall but leave the frame standing". I asked, "Why not just tear down the whole wall and put up a new one". He said, "The frame is still good". "Its still strong and durable". So I tore down the old rotted drywall, stripped it of any left over nails and screws, and revealed the frame. It was still strong and in good shape. Back to my prayer. So I asked God to come into my life. I asked God to tear down all of the worn and damaged things inside of me. My negative thoughts, doubts, frustrations, anger, discouragement, fear, anxiety, and pain. God let me know that my soul was still strong. All the damaged and rotted things in me just had to be removed...

I was watching a show on EWTN (Eternal World Television Network) and it said that one of the Disciples is buried in the center of the Vatican. Can someone tell me which one it is? I can't remember if it's Matthew, Paul, or Peter.
