understanding of the bible changes. All the things you thought were inconsistencies or contradictions arent that anymore?

Why? Because you have quit denying Jesus Christ the Son of the living God. And everything made sense.

Did you have this experience after being saved?

Why is God considered male by Christians? Does he have a body, in the human form? And in which case is he bound to space? If you are speaking about a spiritual body, how then can it have a form or shape?
Also a question on the concept of Trinity. If God is manifest in more than one form, doesnt that dilute the concept of a supreme power? Also can we then assume that God can manifest in more than 3 forms? Say can we then consider Allah of Muslims, Krishna of Hindus etc all actually are human ways of describing the Supreme Power. How can there be a false god if everyone is praying to a Supreme Power who is benevolent?

Coincidence? I think not. It's was only natural for the simple-minded populous of the day to envision the overall leader of mankind as a macro-version of all the lesser leaders.

Ground rules:

Archeological discoveries of cities mentioned in the bible don't count. New York City is a real place and is the home of Spiderman in the comics, however that in no way proves that Spiderman exists.

Don't say it's the word of god. You don't know that and it's a prime example of using the Bible itself to support itself.

Prophecies, again these are off limits for the same reason listed above. The writers of the NT had ready access to the OT, any prophecies that seem to have come true in the NT have a very high probability of being forced to fit.

There are LITERALLY only two outcomes for people who leave Islam: Death or total abandonment by family.

Now... ignorant naive westerners will read this and think "yea right, hes exagerrating. Must be a hater". If you havent studied Islam in some depth and live in the west you tend to have some simplistic Disneylike assumptions about humanity.

One assumption is "Most parents would never abandon their kids unless extreme poverty forced them to". While this assumption works in the non-islamic world, its the literal opposite in the Islamic world.

Listen to this claim closey. IF A PERSON LEAVES ISLAM, HE OR SHE IS CERTAIN TO LOSE HIS FAMILY. THATS A FACT IN EVERY SINGLE CASE. IF THERES AN EXCEPTION, I HAVE NEVER READ OR HEARD OF IT. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE PHENOMINA OF ISLAM. Now, research this claim yourself and see if I exagerrate

"n 1968, Pope Paul VI issued his landmark encyclical letter Humanae Vitae (Latin, "Human Life"), which reemphasized the Church’s constant teaching that it is always intrinsically wrong to use contraception to prevent new human beings from coming into existence.

Contraception is "any action which, either in anticipation of the conjugal act [sexual intercourse], or in its accomplishment, or in the development of its natural consequences, proposes, whether as an end or as a means, to render procreation impossible" (Humanae Vitae 14). This includes sterilization, condoms and other barrier methods, spermicides, coitus interruptus (withdrawal method), the Pill, and all other such methods. " Any Catholics: Do you still follow this teaching or not? If not, why not? What is wrong with it in your view?

Where in the "BIBLE" is the word "PORN" listed and also condemned? I for one have searched and searched.. Yet, no mention of "PORN" anywhere in that book or the Koran for that matter.. So why all the fuss over "PORN"?

Funny...I don't remember being a fish and growing fingers and walking on land and magically turning into a reptile then monkey and then me. Funny...how all these things only make sense to crazy, superficial non-believers.

Wouldn't the HUGE sudden change in air pressure cause the remaining unsaved people to die on the spot? Actually, do you think that kind of thing might bring down the whole building structure? (And yet, the lights aren't even broken!)

If there wasn't a change in air pressure because God replaced their bodies with equal portions of air, how come there was such a loud noise?

Mine is the Russian Tarot of St. Petersburg by Yury Shakov. The cards are gorgeous, with vibrant colors and perfect details. I saw the cards when I was a child playing a Sierra game (Quest for Glory 4) and when I became a Wiccan, I found out that the cards were really a genuine deck and got a set for myself.

I've very happy with them, but I am looking into buying a second deck and I can't find one I really like. I was hoping for some suggestions. I prefer a deck with classic names, not some of the new fancy ones that I'd have to learn from scratch, but I'm willing to try anything once.

What have been your experiences in witnessing in a BOLD way to others online, were they posotive or negative? What types of responses have you gotten from those you witness to in such a way?

I myself ususally am accepted by all people of all faiths in person, they respect me and I them. However online I think they are less responsive to one's witness, because it seems too impersonal to them. What is YOUR take on this?
