It is God's inspired word, but God used flawed human beings to write it. It seems to me that we should expect it to reflect that. The Bible is like the world, a microchosm if you will. Because in the midst of the human ugliness thats in it, God's light shines brightly.

why do catholics say that when you die, you go to hell or heaven for the eternity... but then say that you reincarnate and live again? aren't you supposed to go to hell or heaven and stay there forever? how come you suddenly make the "patch" where now you can be reincarnate and reborn and once again "return" to heaven or hell?? i dont think that makes sense at all....

Jesus started a church around 33 A.D.

(Mt. 16 "And on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.)

How can protestant churches claim to be Christ's church when they are offshoots of Catholicism? All protestant denominations came into existence in the 1500s or later. How can any of these be Christ's Church? Are they really the original Christians?

It can be downloaded off the net.It talks of Jesus and Thomas afetr the crucifixion.Thomas is sent to India to do his ministry there against his will.So mush so that Jesus has to sell him.
When the early european explorers first hit India,they found an independent sect in Southern India who called themselves Thomas Christians.So why is the gospel of Thomas considered false?.I have been to India and the Thomas Christians are still there and can trace their faith back to Thomas.

I've seen believers (mainly Christians believers) say things that give me the feeling they don't know what is fiction and what is reality. Take for example the "DaVinci Code," this is a work of fiction but i've seen so many Christians go absolutely ape over it. Same thing with Harry potter... They believe that if kids read these fictional stories they will somehow be empowered to cast spells and fly on brooms.

The catalyst for this question was an answer to another question* that asked if anyone had actually seen god. The answer made reference to the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and said that if you saw god your face would melt off.

*This may have been a joke answer but in it's context it seemed serious, it's really hard to tell sometimes on Y!A.

My son's best friend has a child who was abused by a non-family member, and is in a hospital on the other side of the state, suffering from a brain bleed (shaken baby syndrome).

The child is not yet 2 years old, this a most difficult time for his family, and I can only imagine what this poor boy is going through.

Those of you who pray, will you do so for his family,and for him?

Those of you who don't, will you keep him in your thoughts?

And please, kind answers only. We are talking about a child.

His name is Noah. Thank you.

Most of the people they have in their group are ex-Christians.

Does it matter to you that they are taking Christians away from the Truth?

I think the fossil record of so called "common ancestors" in evolutionary theory are simply fossils of extinct species and thats all.

And if you say you would never, for example say: "In God I do not Trust", on the strengths of your personal beliefs and convictions, would you think it just for an Atheist or Agnostic to have to compromise their personal convictions by being forced to avow God, something they don't believe in, when reciting our nation's Pledge of Allegiance. Which is a pledge to a nation. And not a prayer. Or being sworn in at a court and having to swear on the Bible. Is there any difference?

Or do believers have the right to force their religion(s) upon others? What do you think of governmental interference in private, personal, church, religious, matters on church property as opposed to the opposite on government, public property?

Is removing religious symbolism from spaces anti-religious, or simply not pro-religious?

Matthew ,Mark, luke and john.But at the council of Nicea many such as the Gospel of Thomas and the gospel of Peter were discarded as rubbish .Apparently because they didnt fit the story.Now these were the disciples of Jesus.Why isnt their word considerd inspired by God as well?Who gets to decide what is or is not inspired by God?
