Virgin births, chariots shooting up into the sky, walking on water, dead people getting up and so on. All religions seem to have these "events" but with superstition reducing and science increasing they seem to have disappeared apart from the odd (excuse the pun) weepnig statue etc. The modern events do not compare with the big budget miracles of old.

I would like to have one, but I really don't want a free bible study group right now, and I also don't really want visitors either(at least right now). Thank you!

how do you know that you are interpreting (whatever) spiritual text in the correct way it was first conveyed?

example- the word sin was derived from an archery term that meant to miss the mark.

changes things a bit doesn't it?

Do most homosexuals think they were born gay or just repeating what they hear from the gay community?

Thank you so much for your wonderful answers.

What I got is that the apes share a common ancestor with us. It could have been a polywog. From whatever it was, we branched out with the human branch eventually having a brain that evolved to include reasoning and consciousness.

Do you believe that we have a soul? If so, when did we "develop" this soul? Did the neanderthals have one do you think?

Personally, I think that anything that breathes has a soul.

I am just looking for your opinions here. Thanks in advance.

what if that who you believe to be God escaped?If Jesus is our Creator as the polytheist trinitarian pagans believe, then how could he run away from King Herod to Egypt, while GOD Almighty in the Old Testament Punishes to death those who even curse his Holy Name?

How could GOD be so Mighty and in the Old Testament, and yet be a total pussy who runs away from a creation of His in the New Testament?
anyone who blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death. The entire assembly must stone him.
When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child (Jesus) and his mother (Mary) and ESCAPE to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him."

...being acceptable to some of society's norms when they hurn no one? Is there a problem with religions views on sexuality? marriage? Why are some things still considered wrong, if they really aren't designed to hurt someone?

Answer this and you have the correct religion. I think the answer is Jesus Christ hands down. His teachings seem like exactly what the Creator would tell us! About love, faith, hope, righteousness or holiness....ect, not to mention his miracles! Sorry for answering the question, I could not resist.

God says harming a fetus should be punished by a fine determined by a judge and killing a woman should be punished by death. But Jesus says we should not punish either. Who is right?
This is from the King James Version

Old Testament God
Exodus 22:22-24
If men strive and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her…punished according to her husband and pay a fine as a judge determines.
If he kills the woman, then life for life eye for eye, tooth for tooth

New Testament Jesus
Mathew 5:38-39
Ye have heard it said, “An eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth.” But I say unto you that yet resist not evil (the evil of non-forgiveness, judgment and revenge): but who so ever shall smite the on the right cheek turn to him the other also. (don't seek revenge against those who harm you)

Do you know what I see 1000 times a day here? People not of a specific belief system, claiming what another belief system believes. And most of the time they're completely wrong. There is a thread here about how Christians explain fossils, non christians claim Christians either dont believe in them or that they believe the devil planted them. The Christians are answering what they believe about fossils and aside from a couple people prentending to be dumb Christians, not a single one said what the non believers SAID they believe.

Have you ever thought someone believed a certain way and then found out they didnt? Did you admit then you were wrong or just figure the other person was lying about their belief?

I've probably spelt it wrong, but it's a religious saying. George Harrison used to say it and an English comedian named Russel Brand now says it all the time at the end of his shows.

Why did God create Native Americans just to send them to hell? They did not know of Jesus at the time Christianity was born. You had to believe that jesus died for your sins to go to heaven. But they never heard of Jesus. There is no judging them by how good they lived their life. They went to hell. There is no nit picking to say that since they never heard of the bible they go to heaven.

when the prophet jesus(PBUH) was a child he was immature,if you say he way God ,then you say that God was immature,if you say he was apart of God then that means also that God was immature (as you believe he was apart)
logically as God isnt immature then the prophet jesus(PBUH) was neither God nor a part of God ,what do you think now?

The universe is in a constant cycle of cataclysmic explosions and contractions and right in the middle of one of these sat on a tiny lump of rock where just the right chemicals are present in just the right conditions orbiting just the right ball of nuclear reaction is you consisting of trillions of tiny molecules consisting of even more smaller still atoms consisting of a much smaller nucleus consisting of smaller partials still which in turn are made of even smaller partials. The laws of physics make this a very beautiful place to live. Saying "oh god did it" makes it seem so much less special and beautiful. Science is beautiful god is ugly. Choose science not god.
