Have you ever flown in an airplane? You do know the theory of flight is just a theory right? Come to think about it gravity is only a theory, are you afraid you're going to float into space? Electrons are only a theory too, are you sure you're reading this on a computer right now?
You do know where this is going don't you?

BORN AGAIN TO BE AS ANGELS

John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of
water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is
born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel
not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it
listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh,
and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

1Pet.1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of
conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 23 Being born
again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which
liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of
man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth
away: 25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the

Do you think people from Nicaragua or Sierra Leone interpret it in the same way, as well?

Do you think you interpret the Bible the same way as the ancient people who were its first readers, the audiences that the authors wrote for?

How do you think the interpretations may differ?

How would you know?

What if the interpretations are very different? Which interpretation deserves more credit for correctness?

How sure are you that the science we have to keep people in vegetative states alive for decades, that is until the money runs out, or the science to separate conjoined twins and choose which one is to die, or the science of fertility treatements, is better or worse than say
historical science like evolutionary biology and geology which just explain the origin of the species and give us insight to the past,
which one is truly more harmful to you in the science community
and don't you think your energy , if it does come to fighting science,
is better spent concentrating on the tough ethical dilemmas humanity is tinkering with when it comes to science. Why aren't you as much into ethics as you seem to be into desperately trying to poke holes in theories that cause NO ONE any harm?
When ACTUAL harm goes on all the time when speaking about ethics especially in medicine, what say you on the capitalization of it all.
Is that very Christ like at all?

Jesus said:

Not everyone who calls me, 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do what my father in heaven wants them to do. When the judgment day comes, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord! In your name we spoke God's message, by your name we drove out many demons and performed many miracles!’ Then I will say to them, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me you wicked people!’ Mt 7:21-23


James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Why exactly does it care so much that we believe and/or like it? Dosen't that seem just slightly petty for an omniscient being? Isn't creating whatever good enough for it?

if there are other beings out there, are they created by God? or are they the more intelligent beings who created us.
I mean, the universe is near infinity, to exclude the possibility of the existance of other beings beside us is totally absurd, silly and ignorent. if the theory stands. What place then, for God? or is the God that all this while we worship to is what we call ALIEN? I know it sounds provocative and am not expecting any truth coz i believe nobody's qualified to give me an answer, nevertheless, tell me what do you think?

In your opinion why does it appear that American Christianity has become the love child of Capitalism, individualism and greed. I have purused the ghettos of Christian television and have become appalled at the heresy.

Prosperity Preachers like Creflo Dollar, Jamal Bryant, Keneth Hagin, Oral Roberts and Fred Price and etc depict God as a grand slot machine; If you tithe to the church GOD will bless you with a Benz, Bentley, new house, car and more bling bling.

It seems that the thesis of there message is that to have those things are a sign of divine blessings and favor. DOES THIS POP-CULTURAL MESS BOTHER ANYONE BUT ME??????

Does it even bother anyone that these beautiful celebraty preachers who dress like characters on soap operas are not even smart and do not have earned accredidated degrees? Can't congregants make a case to sue them for spiritual malpractice? I think the gospel that they preach is the equavelant of spiritual homocide. (murdering the spiritually weak)
