Especially if Benoni was his mother's last wish?

Genesis 35:18
And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.

I just read a question about Gay Christians?!... and realize what i already new... most of you seem to not follow the teachings in the Bible but democracy... is there democracy in the Bible? You people are verily politicians (not all) on this website... no one is voting for you... if the bible says Gay marriage is punishable then why accept it?
Most of you are not true Christian... i am a bigger follower of Jesus and imagine... i'm a Muslim...
Genesis Chapter 19 (read this chapter)
13
We are about to destroy this place, for the outcry reaching the LORD against those in the city is so great that he has sent us to destroy it."

After the crucifixion.. joseph of aramithea(i think) asks Pilate for the 'soma' of the christ.. pilate answers 'you may have the 'ptoma''
There is also no recorded place as the garden of gethsemenae.. what is mentioned is 'gethtshemen' the place of the jasmine garden or olive grove. the site of the crucifixion 'Golgotha' has no equivalent in jewish literature. I do not mean to question the divinity or otherwise of the christ..but surely these are important questions?
'Soma'=living body...'Ptoma'=corpse

Will they? You are so right ,those who have not heard will! Trinity when I said that a few would be saved during tribulation those will be mostly those who have not heard. The two witnesses God will raise up after they had been killed will go out and keep God's promise that everyone will have that chance. My thing is don't take that chance. I realize the Bible says that they can't come unless first they be drawed by the Holy Spirit. So we can't just say get saved right now as there has to be a conviction and ready heart. But don't take for granted you will feel it again. We could die before then or Jesus coming be. Reguardless God sends no one to hell or Heaven we send ourselves by our own choice. Trinity, hope and faith and charity I think are the prettiest name. But I like Hannah too. Father Son and Holy Ghost three in one I believe we'll see Jesus sitting at the right hand of the Father. I just believe the Bible. Because it tells me so.

do something stupid? For example, abandon your search for the ultimate truth, god, truth, etc...because you have something more intoxicating that you wish to follow. Would you seek the tangible, yet possibly unatainable, part of your reality, if it meant giving up what has driven you thus far?

Take the big bang for ex, we KNOW that the universe is expanding from some central point. This has NOTHING to do with the existence or non-existence of God, if you believe in God, you would assume that God set the big bang in motion.

I do not understand why people automatically assume that you have to pick either science or religion, science says nothing about whether or not God exists, it's all about documenting the world around us.

PCdufuss "the religions is good, its just some of the people are bad"

IDIOT!!!!

Was Nazism good and only a "few germans" bad? Islam is just a belief, and beliefs can have a positive or negative impact on humanity.

Simply because Islam is a belief doesnt mean it is certain to be "good" and only a few of its followers "bad". I cant believe how stupid so many of you weak pathetic naive countrymen are...honestly....so so so so stupid!!!!

Every single non-muslim, I have ever heard say this stupidity has known virtually NOTHING ABOUT ISLAM. Test this for yourself, the next time someone says some simplitic cliche like above, ask them "tell me, whats the kabbah?" This is the ugly stone in Mecca all Muslims bow toward, and its a super easy question for anyone who has ever studied Islam even a tiny bit. YOU WILL BE AMAZED...ALMOST EVERY SINGLE IDIOT WHO WANTS TO TELL YOU THAT ISLAM IS "NOT BAD" WONT EVEN KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS SIMPLE QUESTION!

STUDY BEFORE YOU SPEAK IDIOTS!!!

As noted several times in the Bible, people who lived hundreds of years did not have a first child until they were well past 100 years old.

Is it possible that, because they lived longer, on a hormone level, they matured slower, perhaps not entering puberty until decades later than is common today?

Consider that Christ, as a perfect human being, had everlasting (not immortal) life and would have lived forever, if not for catastrophic injury at age 33. There would be a physical trade off for such a long life span.

Had Adam not chosen a woman over God (yes, he was a fully mature male), his downline generations may not have had the ability to be attracted to women, and producing children at too young an age. Otherwise, they would have overwhelmed the ability of the planet to sustain such a population, after a very short period of time.

Christ may not have had that ability to be attracted to women (or anyone else for the gutter minds) until he was well past 100 years of age.

I mean the reason people believe in God is because they have been told there is one from the moment they were kids. There is no evidence of a supreme power, it is just life happening. If you study science you understand how it happened, and yet people feel the need to believe that there is a mythological figure who's in charge

"Evil and the devil do not exist. What people consider evil is really ignorance. Hitler was not an evil man. He was just so incredibly ignorant that he was practically retarded at a spiritual level."

Think about it, if you we're God just for a few seconds what would be your first act? A person was asked this and said he/she would elimate evil and satan.

Maybe evil is just ignorance? If God loves evil creature why would he allow them the fate of Hell? What do you think?
