What support doth thou have from thy original Hebrew and Greek texts to suggestest that thy King James doth proveth best?

What about more modern translations that pull from a greater collection of early Hebrew and Greek manuscripts?

I am working with a devout Christian that questions the compatibility of spirituality with religion. We have reached a point that she would like me to explain the reasoning behind "unleavened bread" in communion. Unfortunately I have no answer and have not found a reasonable response for her. Does anyone have any ideas to this question?

Everybody believe that his/her religion is the right one and if someone say that there are more than 500 religions no one can prove it wrong. Everyone also know that there is only one true religion than why people say that their religion is the right one, make no sense.( I am not good in english so its seems a bit difficult to me to give this question exect shape that i have in my mind.)

Note; I don't believe in heaven & hell but this is kind of funny if not my typical stuff...
Willys cynical thought for the fugging day;

All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my freaking hand!

FORREST GUMP GOES TO HEAVEN

The day finally arrived. Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. However, the gates are closed, and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper.

St. Peter said, "Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you. I must tell you, though, that the place is filling up fast, and we have been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven."

Forrest responds, "It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. I sure hope that the test ain't too hard. Life was a big enough test as it was."

St. Peter continued, "Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three questions.

First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T?
Second: How many seconds are there in a year?
Third: What is God's first name?"

Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day and sees St. Peter, who waves him up, and says, "Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers."

Forrest replied, "Well, the first one -- which two days in the week begins with the letter "T"? Shucks, that one is easy. That would be Today and Tomorrow."

The Saint's eyes opened wide and he exclaimed, "Forrest, that is not what I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I did not specify, so I will give you credit for that answer. How about the next one?" asked St. Peter.

"How many seconds in a year? Now that one is harder," replied Forrest, but I thunk and thunk about that, and I guess the only answer can be twelve."

Astounded, St. Peter said, "Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?"

Forrest replied, "Shucks, there's got to be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd... "

"Hold it," interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you are going with this, and I see your point, though that was not quite what I had in mind....but I will have to give you credit for that one, too. Let us go on with the third

and final question. Can you tell me God's first name"?

"Sure," Forrest replied, "it's Andy."

"Andy?" exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St Peter.

"Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name Andy as the first name of God?"

"Shucks, that was the easiest one of all," Forrest replied. "I learnt it from the song, "ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN."

St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates, and said: "Run Forrest, run."

I just don't understand that. A guy was just here and he was saying that his mother is 88 yrs old. He said SHE'S lucky to still be alive. How is that lucky? She can hardly see, bearly hear, gets along rather slowly and painfully at that. Why do people say it's luck to be alive when the living conditions are poor at best?
What's so great about being here? My alternative is heaven. Once I am gone I'll be in heaven. It doesn't get any better than that. Help me to understand what makes some people so darn glad to be here. Everywhere I look, I see pain and misery, suffering and hardship, struggles and turmoil. My husband says "I'm thankful God allowed me to live another day". Why? So you can work from sun up to sun down to pay bills. So you can feel the arthritis in your knees and back some more. So you can deal with more rude people. So you can be tired and out of breath easily. It's a steady routine of the same thing day in and day out. Work, work, work. Behind with the bills. Body pains

Many manychanges have been made to the Bible over the centuries. Concepts have been added or removed, even entire books. This process continues, along with interpretations telling us what it "really" means as opposed to what it actually says. Are these editings, additions and deletions all divinely inspired?

2006-11-24 02:30:30 · 21 answers · asked by Gaspode 7

two questions:
1. Do you believe that universe is about 14 billion light years across? Why or why not?
2. If you do believe it's so big, do you truly honestly think that god made a universe 14 billion light years across so that humans could live on one tiny planet for about 10-15,000 years and then be raptured up for eternity?

Thank you (and please no "we'll never understand god's motives", don't waste our time, this is for thinking people).

When one says one must have knowlege of all things in the universe to know there is no god, yet to know there is a god all one needs is belief and faith, isn't that close to saying god doesn't exist?

If god is somthing so elusive that infinite avenues must be exhausted before one can come to the conclusion that it doesn't exist, yet you can know for sure it exists by simply giving it credence, it seems to me that god is something that exists only in the mind of it's believers.

Your thoughts?

saving life makes good moral sense but killing fellow human beings is against any religion or any God .God is a God of love not hate so when you kill you go against Gods love , if you have a grievents ,protest or get into politics or on the news peaceably killing just angers others and wants them to do the opposite thing

Joseph smith was reportedly searching for treasure with divinine stones and came upon a spirit claiming to be an 'angel' which said all Christian denominations are currupt... should we believe it.
Since Joseph Smith was disobeying the Bibles commands to avoid occult practice why would we trust the 'angel' is from God and why would he later join Harmony Methodist church and meet his wife is all denominations are corrupt. If this infomration is not correct please let me know. Thanks

If you do what are your reasons for doing that?
Do you just accept them or do you look at them different?

the more I look at life, the more I see everything depends on the free will alone and not your connection with God. if I look at the people I know who are truly happy, these are all athesists, not deeply religious people. the religious people I know, are always struggling.

how do you explain, for instance, that everything works out for a truly selfish person.

I don't have a specific question, I just wanted to talk to you about this a little bit.

people succeed if they rely on themselves (the concept of free will). they don't need to be moral/"good".

thanx
