I'm visiting a Lutheran Church that is having one of these today. What can I expect? I normally go to a non denominational church that is more like penecostal.

What has been the best answer that religious groups who don't belive in evolution given to explain dinosaur bones and other contraditictory evidence?

We have pretty irrefutable evidence that evolution exists. What is the Christian angle? Can we evolve and still go to heaven?

Why does the Vatican deny Jesus was a full Roman Citizen?

To fulfil the Jewish prophecy, by Jewish law (the Tanakh/Old Testament), Jesus had to be of the bloodline of David, the true kings of Israel- from King Zedekiah via his only surviving child-Princess Tamar. Regardless of disinformation, my Jewish law, you have to be "born" by royal bloodline to be the messiah.

Under Roman Law 2,000 years ago, all Roman citizens were subject to the protection and process of Pontius Pilate, while all non-Roman citizens were under the Jewish civil and religious courts.

It makes total sense by law, if Jesus was a prince of Judah, to be brought before Pilate, by law. But the New Testament makes no sense and contradicts historic fact if it maintains the fiction that he was not Roman and subject to Jewish law. If this was the case, the Sadducee High Priests could have had him killed any day ot the week (no excuses stand up).

So why does the Vatican deny Jesus was a full Roman Citizen?

1. why was jesus taken of the cross when he died in defiance of roman law and tradition that said a criminal had to stay until the corpse had rotted?
2. why was the chief priest allowed to call the emperor a king, which was a deadly insult and dangerous politcal act for which he would have joined jesus on a cross, the emperor was the princeps or first citizen. any allusions at being a king would have been political suicide for an emperor as the mob of rome, the patricians and the senate would have deposed and killed him. for the chief priest to have said this to a roman guvenor is highly unlikely.
3. why is there no record of the miraculous darkening of the sun and the damage to the curtains in the temple. i know the jews kept records, it would have been in one of the talmuds. i also know that thallus is supposed to have written about it, but we only hear about this from julius africanus, who is most deffinately not a reliable source. no romans record it, why not?

If GOD already paid the cost of our salvation, does it mean we are all save before Doomsday? If that's the case then we did no input in this "battle" because were here but it is indeed predetermined where we willl be heading... in paradise with Jesus. Right?

In recent times the thesis has often been proposed that only the Romans were responsible for the death of Jesus. Did Jewish authorities have the authority to order the crucifixion of Jesus, given the Roman occupation of the country?

And please do not give me the "they attack us" routine. Christians are wise to know who to speak to about God and who is not ready to receive...so why do atheists have a defensive mindset?

Gay Cleric Says Crucifixion Beliefs Are `Insane'

LONDON (RNS) One of Britain's most controversial clerics has triggered more uproar by suggesting that the standard teachings about the Crucifixion are “repulsive” and “insane” and make God appear to be a “psychopath.”
-- Al Webb http://www.religionnews.com

It angers me when someone like this is given the title of "Cleric"
He is bringing dishonor to God's holy name.

I rememer Micah 6:8 ' And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.' But do you think God has individual expectations of us? To 'achieve' anything? If we all have a purpose does God expect that we will reach those expectations?
