35 Later Moses called the entire assembly of the sons of Israel together and said to them: “These are the words that Jehovah has commanded, to do them: 2 Six days may work be done, but on the seventh day it will become something holy to YOU, a sabbath of complete rest to Jehovah. Anybody doing work on it will be put to DEATH. 3 YOU must not light a fire in any of YOUR dwelling places on the sabbath day.”

NOT EVEN LIGHTING A FIRE.PUNISHABLE BY DEATH

The science of ecology and evolution shows us that diversity is stronger than monotony. I see the hostility towards and general intolerance of others doctrines and cultures as a major problem for human survival. If science is to be used as an excuse to be fanatic about your doctrine, I feel it should at least be respected.
Please expound on your theory.

who thinks this COULD BE true?

riverboat days, depth of river was measured by fathoms or knots/marks on a rope...

2 fathom ( or could be said -to fathom something) is also written 2 marks

Mark Twain is really Two Marks...or Two Deep

could it be all this time he was playing with words, his writings he knew would be "too deep" for others to understand, especially about the humor about religion and sillyness?

example: "In the first place God made idiots. This was for practice. Then he made Members of Congress." ~Mark Twain (Sam Clemmens)

According to Christian theology, Satan and a bunch of angels fought against God and the rest of the angels.

1.) If God is so powerful, why did he need angels to help him fight?

2.) If he is all-knowing, howcome he didn't know that Satan would turn bad? If he did know, why did he create Satan at all?

3.) If heaven is supposed to be beautiful and perfect, with no tears or crying or pain, then how can there have been a war? How can one be sure there won't be more? Why would I want to go there if it's no better than Earth?

Keep in mind that believing is different from worshiping.

I ask this because it's been argued both ways. Some claim more and more people are finding the truth via Jesus Christ. Others claim it's a form of spectacular ignorance due in large part to a broken educational system. Your thoughts please.

after you log off this forum; when you've read statement after statement; seeing unbelievers taking eternity so lightly; joking about what a "Grand time" they're going to have in HELL? How does that make you feel?

Or would you put your trust in God's plan? It seems to me that if you claim to have faith in God, having surgery would be a direct contradiction to your supposed faith.
If you choose to put your life in science's hands when it really matters, will God forgive you? Will you go to Heaven?
What is your justification for asking help from science when you claim it to be untrue and evil?

The perfect relation ship is build on Love. Within that love, how does the order in which things happen matter? If both have the feeling it's an eternal love, why would it matter to God if they first make love, and then get married?

Take me as an example. I'm a Dutch atheist, my girlfriend is a Romanian Christian. Currently we live in her country, and we plan to get married, as soon as have found a country that suits us in raising our children in the English language. We speak English to eachother, and wanna raise our kids in that language.

In Romanian visa laws, it can take a year or two before we are able to leave here. Silly, but true. We don't wanna get married here, but we are eachothers meaning in life. Of course we make love. My girlfriend is a Christian who uses logic to make most of her decisions.

So, why are God's morals so black and white? I simply fail to see that.

Why did alot of people die a horrible death in the OT??

Because G-d loves YOU. He clearly shows how much it will suck to be judged by Him. The OT countlessly shows the difference between G-d's blessings and G-d's judgements. Does it make perfect sense to a human? No...

BUT...He sent His Son Jesus in the NT to help you be saved from judgement. All you have to do is say YES, Jesus paid my price......easiest decision ever. He made it as easy as possible. His judgement is clear. Choose Blessing!

What have you done with this easy choice? Reject or Accept.

Its a one word answer.

For instance, Because the Apostles were gathered on a traditional Jewish feast (Sabbath) day on the first day of the week (Sunday), the Feast Day being Pentecost ( meaning 50th) which was the conclusion of Passover; Most Christians conclude that the God established Saturday Sabbath is no longer in effect. Yet God clearly states this Sabbath is forever, and punishes the world for forsaking HIS Sabbath during the judgement period of Earth during the last days. WHO IS MAN TO CHANGE GOD"S SABBATH ???

JOHN 5:16 So on this account the Jews went persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things during Sabbath. 17 But he answered them: “My Father has kept working until now, and I keep working.” 18 On this account, indeed, the Jews began seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath but he was also calling God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

their medical problem goes away, do you give the credit to the doctor and the SCIENCE that he used to cure the patient, or do you claim it was an answered prayer from God and it was just coincidence that God answered the patient's prayer at the same time as they received surgery?

Is OK to use this "moral" (or immoral) concept in animals but not in humans. Why?

Disclaimer: this question in no way represents anything I believe regarding transsexualism. I ask only because I saw another user suggest that transsexualism is against God's law so I wanted to ask the community at large if they consider this true.

If you answer "yes", please cite Biblical passages to support your position. Be specific, please. I don't want vague or generalized passages.

Thank you.
