I heard that the Messiah was supposed to bring peace to the world, return Jews to the homeland, and make the entire world one religion (I could get verses if this is disputed). But how do Christians oppose this position?

With the 3rd Commandment God tells us to Honor the Sabath. In Exodus 20:8-11 God Commands us:

hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
8 “ Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it."

I know people who do not have the Sunday paper delivered because they don't want to make anyone else work. Yes, I understand police, military, hospitals workers and many others have no choice but must work on this day. But do you honor the Sabath?

We just saw the movie "The Nativity Story" today. Why did everyone make that funny noise with their mouths and tongues right after Elizabeth gave birth to John?
Thank you very much!

If not, do you think he got his second testicle instead of being stuck with just one?

Maybe the lonliness encourages the idea of someone to be with you that can relate.

whether or not the gospels of the Bible tell everything we should know. Should people look for yet another "christ"? If so, will anyone in this era believe this person's claims? Do you believe we will ever be able to find out exactly what Jesus' teachings were? Finally, are angels real and have you seen one? Anything else you would like to add or explain about would be greatly appreciated.

SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!!

We can safely assume that there will be sex in eternity because God created sex in Eden before humanity's fall into a life of constant sin terminated by death. Thus, in Eden restored we can rest assured that God will not remove our sexual nature, rather He will redeem it. In the new heaven and new earth, sex will no longer be for the purpose of procreation. Nor will it involve sexual intercourse........ neither marriage, like the angels in heaven.

If Jesus is supposed to be the son of God... then why does the bible say:

"How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have
been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!" -- Isaiah
14:12

"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I
am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star." --
Revelation 22:16

If god had made a binding deal to the Hebrews, wouldn't Satan want to screw that up? Possibly by trying to discredit God's chosen people and create his own religion that would turn people against them?

Don't you wish there was something more we could do to these people to make hell seem, well, more real?
I say we bring back some good old burning at the stake for these bastards..

So let’s say there was this serial killer, the most inhuman of all people. And then there is this young female, who by all accounts was nothing but kind and loving, but she was did not believe Jesus was her lord and savior, but thought he was a pretty cool guy. This serial killer kills this woman and he gets the death penalty and right before he died he confessed Jesus as his lord and savior and dies. Which one goes to heaven? The one that has killed many people beyond just this girl out of the evil of his heart, or this young woman who on many accounts was innocent? If the murderer does, then isn't Christianity an insurance deal?

This is just an "what if" scenario.

Kind of morbid, I know, but just wondering since I'm not religious.
