Is a mustard stain on a t-shirt that appears to have the image of a Mexican guy holding a cheese sandwich, with what he thinks is an image of the Virgin Mary a real miracle? Can I sell it on e-bay and what’s a miracle mustard stain going for on these days?

"...and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great. The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto Heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of the earth" [Daniel 4:10-11].

"Again, the devil takeith him up to an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world..." [Matthew 4:8].

"Behold, he cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see him..." [Revelation 1:7].

These verses are only possible with a flat earth. Given the fact of the earth being spherical in shape, how do Christians mix the shape of the earth with these verses?

Honestly, the signs in the ground so aliens can find the secret documents later, the disdain for medicine and psychiatry that has led to numerous deaths, and the amount of morons that follow it...could it be anything other than fantasy that appeals to the ignorant and desperate? What rational minded, properly educated person would choose to believe in this load of garbage.

Very recently some one answered to why they chose the religion they chose was this.

John 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"!!!!

This seems to be a very typical type of question. NOt always exactly like this, but often the same sense.

Now, what i want to ask is. Most people that believe in christiondom due to these types of reason, have you ever thouroghly read any other mainstream religious texts? They may be just as compeling.

see what i dont get, is the people that usually convert over, actually convert. The reason the convert to christianity is because its the most popular and first religion they actually get a high exposure to. I could put money down, that if you where exposed highly to many other religions, and slightly christianity. Chances are you wouldnt be christain.

Can any one maturely comment on this? Hey i may be wrong.

The Bible is very clear about such things, yet some "Christian" churches have taken on liberal feminist attitudes with a blatant disregard for the Word. Is it the blind leading the blind? Or wolves in sheep's clothing? Or both?

If Jesus is all knowing, then he would know I'm wasting time right now by asking this stupid question right? Also would I be forgiven if I stopped asking stupid questions and started to ask more questions about football or how to start my own online christian dating service?

Why is it such a difficult concept for people to believe we could live forever in paradise on earth? (Ps 37:10,11,22,27-29,34)

10 And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. 22 For those being blessed by him will themselves possess the earth, But those upon whom evil is called by him will be cut off. 27 Turn away from what is bad and do what is good, And so reside to time indefinite. 28 For Jehovah is a lover of justice, And he will not leave his loyal ones. To time indefinite they will certainly be guarded; But as for the offspring of the wicked ones, they will indeed be cut off. 29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it. 34 Hope in Jehovah and keep his way, And he will exalt you to take possession of the earth.

We don't know exactly why Judas betrayed Jesus! Jesus knew Judas would betray Him. If Judas had not betrayed Jesus and sent Him to the cross, would repentance, forgiveness, hope & eternal life still be a guarantee (free gift) to us today?

In the KJV 1 John 5:7 we read; For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

With this scripture not being in any of the original Greek manuscript's. Where did it come from to be placed in the King James Version of the Bible?

Why does it seem that some christians are so quick to attack other people? Its embarrasing. I read some of the answers on this site and think 'Wow, I actually share a God with some of these people?' After all, Jesus said that he who is without sin should throw the first stone.. and to be human is to sin, so no one is qualified. Does anyone have an answer for that sort of behavior? (please, no 'christians are stupid!' answers) Is it a superiority complex? (pride is sin..silly people) Has anyone noticed a coorelation between intolerance and some specific region, age group, denomination, ect? What sort of mindset does it require to ignore Jesus's actual message in favor of telling people they'll burn for eternity? Do people actually enjoy that?

If you had several pieces of jewelry that were in your family for hundreds of years, and they had spells cast on them, would you sell them? Why or why not? (strange question, but it does have a purpose)

The United States - population 300 million - annual murders on average 13,000. Religious: most dedicated to God in the Western World

Western Europe - population 450 million - annual murders on average - less then 25% of the US murder rate. Religious: It's there but between the drugs and prostitues no one is really paying attention to it.

Middle East - population dwindling - average monthly murder rate 4,000. Religious: The Koran is everything and all things. No booze, no smoking, no sex, no showing of too much ankle.

It seems that religion equals a more depressed society and therefore a more violent people. The Europeans having a a much more liberal society have more peace.

Should it not be the exact opposite?

My mother, who could no longer speak at the end, kept pointing to a corner of her room, as if she saw something there. she died with a smile on her face, as if she had seen someone she loved.

I need guidence bad. I feel like Job right now...depressed. I'm 23, the only christian in my home and I know the devil's attacking but I need some encouragment, some scripture or something. My family dosn't really care for me, their too busy in their lives. I have 37 dollars in the bank, it's difficult finding a job, i'm overqualified for every job I apply for but still get no reply back. I pray, I tithe, man I feel like God's so far from me. Like nothing is going my way. The small church I attend, it seems like everyone's against me bcuz im not like them. I know God's right here by me, but man does it hurt when there isnt any money and bills are due and there isnt any food in the fridge. I understand that with victory theres pain, but wow, I dont have anyone to talk to for guidence. I read the bible, but I need someone to help in the walk. All my friends are worldly, I already discussed what my church did, and that's all i have. I stay home all day, no $ to do anything...anyone around
