I know you believe they are one God but they are still two different entities.

In other words: the strict God of Old Testament or the man God of the New Testament?

For example people who do believe in God but they don't believe in Bertram Russell's Celestial Teapot nor do they believe in fairies.
If so why don't they believe in the Celestial Teapot or Fairies, whose existence like God's can neither be proved or disproved.

As to the Taurat (Torah), Jewish scribes painstakingly copied it via a system of checking, double checking and adding each letter on each line. Any attempt to change something in the Torah would have resulted in immediate discovery and condemnation. And copies of the Torah from around the world agree exactly. Thousands of the Hebrew Old Testament manuscript copies are still available for textual criticism, ranging in age from the second century B.C. (Before Christ) to the eleventh century A.D. (After Christ).

This same quality of transmission cannot be said of the Islamic Qur'an. The Islamic Qur'an was mostly written down from 3rd and 4th hand accounts; and from a few thoughts written on scrap papers, palm leaves and stones --and compiled over 150 years after Muhammad died in 632 A.D. In the Mishtatu ‘lMasabih, chapter 3, we are informed that by the command of the first Caliph, Abu Bakr, the text of the Qur’an was “collected” by Zaid ibn Thabit “from palm leaves and stones and from the breasts of those who had learned by heart” the various revelations." Abu Bakr’s copy came into the possession of Hafsah, one of Muhammad’s widows. Qustalani states that after Hafsah’s death her copy was torn to pieces by Mirwan, who was governor of Medina.

The oldest Qur'an dates from around 790 A.D. (after Jesus), and it is in the British Library. That's 158 years after Muhammad’s death. See corrupted Qur'an here .

Muslims often claim that the manuscript of the Qur'an housed in the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul, Turkey is one of the oldest sources. Muslims say it dates from around 650 A.D. There is an insurmountable problem with this. This document is written in Kufic (also known as al-Khatt al-Kufi) script. Coins in the British Museum show that the first coins using the Kufic script date from the mid to end of the 8th century (750-800 A.D.). The only script used during and after Muhammad's days was the Jazm script.

This horrible person realizes that he's about to die so he drops to his knees and says the Lord's Prayer, will he be accepted? Because it obvious he just using it as an "insurance policy". Someone told me you can get into heaven if you truly don't want to be in hell. How fair is that if its true? So is it how you live? Or how scared you are at the end of your life?

I don't know if I neccessarilly beleive in Hvn or Hell but its an interesting thought notheless.

we all are running towards something, but where?

Really - as an atheist, I don't actually believe in hell, but - what could there be down there that would actually put me off, having lived on Earth?

Presumably I'd be immortal and stripped of my fleshy body, so no nervous system to actually experience and process pain and no fear of dying (again).

I could hardly be surrounded by more cretinous and stupid folk than I meet on a day to day basis anyway.

And if it turns out the bible bashers are right afterall, at least I won't have them banging on about religion all the time, because they'll be harping it up in heaven.

Surley the bigger threat to the badly behaved would be that you'd have to be reincarnated and put up with the likes of George Bush and Jade from Big Brother for another seventy years?

Kill False Prophets- Deuteronomy 13:1-5 NLT
Pro Slavery
However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)

Murder, rape, and pillage at Jabesh-gilead (Judges 21:10-24 NLT)

Laws of Rape (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.

List goes on for ever.... but no more room here.

Hi, we think that our home is haunted - in a nice way of course! Over the past 9 months we have had many spiritual happenings going on in our house. We have decided to start a website that depicts what is happening. On Saturday night my partner took some photographs of me while I was on the telephone, and he caught this orb/mist/thing that surrounded me. The conversation was very personal between me and my son, and had references to my dead grandmother. We have put a link to the photograph in question on our website:
http://www.haunted-homes.co.uk/recent.html

Is there anybody out there that can explain the mist? I swear on my childrens life that this photograph has not been digitally enhanced in any way. It was really scary for me, it made me cry when I saw it.

Please can someone give me an explanation?

I'm not religious but certainly open minded to believe in 'something' beyond death, but I was wondering.... if the Bible starts with day 1 - when the earth was created by god.... why is there no mention of Dinosaurs??
