Why was it so great that Jesus "died for our sins"? He was tortured on the cross for awhile, just like hundreds of other people. He knew that no one could truly kill him and that he would live forever anyway. And if God is all powerful, why couldn't he just forgive humanity on his own? Why did Jesus have to die? None of it makes any sense.

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"
- Epicurus

Not queen. Not duke. Not prince.
My royal robes of the forest
Would be satin. Not cotton. Not chintz.

America has only gives a paltry $3bn a year to Israel and has only given $72 trillion since 1972. Isnt this a disgrace? This is a tiny fraction of US national output - why isnt more (at least 30% ) given!?!!?! Many Americans greedily spent all their money on themselves and their families on themselves instead of Israel, Shouldnt say 45-50% of their income be sent to help the Jewish state? America is like the fourth reich in its anti-semitism and is far worse than Nazi germany

The Douay-Rheims New Testament was already published in 1582... so my question is why do people say the KJV is the oldest english version of the bible.

If we didn't evolve from Dodo's, why aren't there any Dodo's left?
If we evolved from a common ancestor, why aren't there any common ancestors left?
If we evolved from Dust, why is there still Dust?

Okay, it's out of my system now. Thanks for your patience. Back to ignoring Creationism again.

Ezekiel 18:20
"The soul who sins, he shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him."

So where is the Concept of Original Sin?
Why do humans have to believe jesus Supposidly died on the corss for sins of human even from the bible?

Do you think it invalidates scripture when a non Christian can quote the bible and the scriptures are some you don't want to see?

I ask because I am a former Christian and preacher, lay preacher, but still preacher who studied the bible many years.

I left christianity and can only prove my point with Christians because you all are suppossed to beleive the bible. When I prove someone wrong with scripture. I am accused of being illogical because I being an unbeleiver quotes scripture. I get the feeling that if they hear the truth from an umbeleiver then the bible is wrong. This may soud related to my last question, but it is not different people different situations.


These people are not mental, or delusional just trying to discredit me.


I have been told that since I am pagan it is illogical to beleive the devil. I don't and that is not true, but when dealing with Christians I must talk the way they understand and the bible talks about the devil.

this long in life? Why do you keep gambling with eternity? You know hell is real cause the bible says your conscience says so. On the day of judgment when you stand before God you are gonna say when did I ever see you in need Lord?

Quran 61.4 YUSUFALI: Truly Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure. http://cwis.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/061.qmt.html

Do you want to be loved by Allah? Well then solider, get into proper formation!

Ah that Allah, so easy to please. Allah reminds me of when I was a kid playing with plastic soldiers. Although I dont know that I ever "loved" those little obedient plastic men, I sure did have fun "arraying" them in various formations.

If we really did evolve from the Loch Ness Monster, then why is Barry Manilow still around and why hasn't he turned into a giant, baby-eating caterpillar? Huh? Yeah, I guess you can't answer that one, huh?

If we really evolved from chimps and apes, then how come there are still chimps and apes out there? I mean if the next thing was humans there shouldn't be any monkeys anymore. Right?
