I was looking for the scripture where Abraham beat up the stranger but instead found the part where Abraham put Isaac on the altar to be sacrificed. I didn't plan on reading it but the opening part caught my eye:

Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac....." Genesis 22:2

The "only son" part is the problem. Genesis 17:23, an earlier passage, says "Abraham took his son Ismael"

I've been able to refute most alleged errors in the Bible, but this one seems obviously an error unless the English translation is wrong and the Hebrew word means "unique" or something to that extent. So anyone who can prove to me that Genesis 22:2 is not an error will get the best answer, and I look forward to it. If no one can, then I'll just have to wait till I learn Hebrew.

First of all, no offense, but I definitly do not want to be a Christian or Muslim. Both religions are definitly not for me.

I am going though a lot of problems right now. I had a parent die a couple years ago. Since them my husband and I have gone though a lot of problems.

I have depression and anxiety which I definitly don't want to use medicine for. I try to manage it on my own but it's exhausting.

When things weren't so good with my husband and I, I kissed 2 guys within a 6 month span. I told him about it, and he wanted to work things out, luckily for me. I would never do it again. It's been over a year, and he still suffers because of it.
I feel extremely guilty still, to the point that I don't feel good about myself a lot of the time. Since I know it still bothers him, I feel like nothing will make me stop feeling guilty.
I consider myself a spiritual person, because I have a deep spiritual connection to nature. I used to be a Christian, and had a good relationship with ->

I was searching around on DeviantArt.com the other day and found some photos taken of people who had symbols evidently associated with The Seven Deadly Sins tattooed onto their bodies. While I thought that was pretty cool I was not able to find any references to any symbols used with The Seven Deadly Sins themselves. Wikipedia didn’t even have anything. Dose anyone have any more information on the matter?

Here’s the link for the photos I mentioned:

Where in the world does it say anywhere in the bible that Christ is equal to God, in fact Christ himself said that the Father was greater than he is at John 14:28
Philipians 2:6 says Christ considered it not in grasp to be on an equality with God. And this is from the greek interlinearbible i am reading from so i know i have the original text. because many bibles render this differently according to wheather they believe in the trinity or not.
It does say that Christ and God are one with eachother but it also says that followers of christ are one with him too so it means that Christ and his father are in agreement and on the same page with eachother (which would make a lot more sense). So where is this idea of the trinity comming from that Christ is equal or the same as God?

There was an old article that stated they focused on outward social justice and war protests. Then switched to seeking inward peace and purity, resulting in the Kingdom of Heaven within. Anyone know the current beliefs and practices?

Hello, my question is that why cant't we believe in two or more religions? I don't know about every single Gods in this world but i've heard that Jesus Christ said "Forgive and forget" So why won't he forgives me if i believed in Christian and other religions. Plus I've heard that Buddhism doesn't have God but Buddha. As far as I know, Buddha isn't God. So if Buddha isnt God, why can't we believe in both Buddhism and Christian at the same time?
Thank you.

What is YOUR VIEW on this as a believer in God and His Word?

Where is the support for their own faith, so that they do not have to rely on degrading God and His Word to prove their own ideals?

Will they please support their beliefs so we may understand what they are saying it is they believe & why, without using God and the Bible in a negative manner?

From what I can tell emotional attachments to children serve no purpose after the child is raised. Emotional attachments to parents serve no purpose. Filial piety exists in most cultures across the world.

What is the purpose of emotional attachment?

Where does filial piety come from?

What purpose does filial piety serve?

I'm working on my collection of authographs of important religious figures. I have a Big Mac wrapped signed by Buddha. Also I have a broken tabet with the chistled name of Moses on it... The really tough one, was having Noah with all 3 sons.. including the one who laughed at him naked; sign a plank from the ark.. Yet, all that remains is Jesus authograph. Does anyone know where I can find such a valuable signature?

I think convincing people would be nearly impossible in this day and age as everybody is so headstrong and zealous. They could ignore the messiahs enlightened teachings due to arrgoance and have him locked up again for being 'racist'- disproving and arguing about other religions. Could you see that happening?

The word "Chanukkah" means dedication. John 10:22 places Jesus at the Feast of Dedication. Isn't it odd that Jesus, the Christian G-d, would celebrate a Jewish feast? And, even more odd that it's not in Torah, but it IS in the New Testament!

....about my parents being uncomfortable with my Atheism (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArkNb6Vyi0.aJeL4SNiD_v3sy6IX?qid=20070114230355AAygL9x). I really was appreciative of all the help I got, but I tried to execute my plan and it didn't quite work. Now my dad wants me to go to bible study on thursday nights and my mom yelled at me for 'not having an open mind,' so now I need to 'research both sides of the argument,' because 'I'm still too young and immature to reject what I don't like or understand.'
So please, any more sites to help bu ild my argument and convince my parents to accept my Atheism is really helpful.
Thanks in advance!

If phonesex is a sin, (because it is a "lustful activity") then what what do you have to say about married couples who are showing the exact same affection, only through actual sex? I have phonesex with my bf regularly and I have no problem with it (and yes i do love him!) We're are getting married this summer and we are beyoond the point of questioning ourselves if this is the right thing to do. I know what lust is, and yes I experience it everyday. And I know what your thinking: I have a lustful relationship with my bf. That is not the case at all. I am going to spend the rest of my life with him and I am more than ready to open up to him and show him my feelings through phonesex. Our feelings will be the exact same for each other when we're married because we feel like we already are. I want to know a perspective from someone who knows what they are talking about...Am i still a sinner? What's the difference if we wait till marraige? Email me if you have to: cookie789123@yahoo.com

to get along with people who have a different outlook on life than you? We are all part of the same reality, we're all in this together. Since each one of us is only part of the whole, we are only given part of the answer, or part of it's truth; and we need each other to fill in the missing peices of ourself so that we can make whole the 'one great thing'. Everything and everybody is connected, there is no space between; we are all part of the same thing. So, show a little compassion and respect for someone who sees your beliefs as being just as different as you see theirs.
