Think about it, I can invent some new religion that has so many strong arguments. Then I can start coning people into giving me their money and their wives.

the verse where it says "before you were in your mother's womb, I knew you" does that go for everyone or just believers?

or is it?

I ask this question because I recently read this question:

"Why are some people gay, it's unnatural?
no one is born that way, it is wrong, full stop. God created Adam and Eve, not Steve.

God has forbade it therefore it is wrong, that is why I think it is wrong, simple. I am not homophobic, I don't mind watching the Graham Norton show but if God has said it is wrong it must be wrong!


God created Adam and Eve who had 2 daughters and 2 sons, so there "

So, I'm curious. I'm asking monotheists- Is incest natural or unnatural? Was it natural and the rules changed or did we condition ourselves to believe it's repugnant?

Also: I read of a trial completed where women were asked to rate which sweaty T-shirt, which had been worn by unknown men, smelt more attractive/least offensive. The results were that women rated the T-shirt scent of men who displayed different immune system genes to their own more highly. Does this suggest incest is unnatural?

The "New Testament": Pagan revenge

Between G-d's own miracles and the Jewish teaching of His Word, the pagan priesthoods of Egypt, Greece, and Rome were steadily losing their power over the gentile populations. They decided to fight back by creating a new religion, one that would claim to be the fulfillment of the Hebrew "Old Testament," yet would bring back the pagan lies in a new disguise.

Thus the "New Testament" was written, in Greek rather than Hebrew, and attached to the original Hebrew scriptures to try to change their meaning back toward paganism.

The "New Testament" tried to change G-d from One, as in the Hebrew scriptures, into a "trinity" as in Egyptian cults or the eastern religions of Hinduism and Buddhism. It described Jesus as G-d in a human body, like the pagans always described Pharoah and other wicked kings. It declared G-d's Law to be a "curse" that no one can truly obey, announced that there must be a "mediator" between G-d and man, and pretended that salvation could now be achieved outside the Law.

To blind the gentile nations, the "New Testament" also warned people not to learn from the Jews, declaring that Israel no longer possessed the true, complete Word of G-d.

In the Bible, the book of Daniel warned of an evil power--a false religion--that would believe in the true "G-d of fortresses... plus a god its fathers did not know." This religion would "speak bizarre words about the Most High, wear out the holy ones (the Jews), and plan to change the festivals and the religious Law."7 The Christian Church has indeed replaced Passover with Easter (the pagan holiday of Astarte and Ishtar) and Hanukah with Christmas (the pagan winter holiday).

Since then, Christian paganism has expanded to include Christmas trees, Easter eggs, and so forth.

..always end in answers of the atheists bashing those who believe in God or the opposite?

It always ends up being about how dumb one side is, or how the others need a real education.

How about some real answers to the questions instead of trading insults? Trading insults seems to only cloud the issues further.

I have accepted God into my life.. I believe that through living a good Christian life, I will go to heaven when my time comes. But I am so afraid of the actual physical process. I don't want to be sad. Can anyone offer some kind words that will perhaps grant me some peace of mind? Personal experience with death?
Thanks <3

I'm going to use a totally common sense approach to this question:

I'm a Christian. I don't have the faith to be an atheist. Here's why (keep an open mind here and read this carefully):

-a baby being formed inside of a woman after conception, a heart forming, hands, feet, a brain etc. It will grow to be completely unique.

-a countless number of stars in our universe, with our SUN being smaller than the smallest star

- our amazingly complex human body, the most intricate machine in our universe

- absolute beauty in creation: the ocean, sunsets, changing of seasons

-Earth being perfectly able to support life

-the present world situation ( fulfilling prophecy)

ETC. the list goes on and on..

I believe atheism is based more in arrogance and suppression of truth than true belief. The Bible even says that the Lord has used to the foolish things in the world to reveal himself to confound the wise.

So it really is based on pride.

Looking forward to responses =).

and the bible doesn't say anything about other life forms on other planets and it is only logical that some life exists in the universe other then us....then does each individual planet that supports life have a diffrent god that made them? and if so then that would either mean that there is a whole race of god creaters, or what?

I would like to know 2 things why islamic fundamental groups claim everything on Jihad. When Jihad means struggle within. It is also stated in the Holy Quran that God does not like transgressors, Suicide is a one way ticket to hell. Also one surrah reads about Jihad, that in war you may not hurt trees, the crops of the one you are fighting, old people children and woman, only men of a fighting age.
Also I want to ask you to please understand Islam is a religion of peace, I as a Muslim turely condem terrorism Muslim and non Muslim, they , to me , dont belong to a religious group, they twist and turn the word of our prophet Mohammed (PBUH) dictated by Allah, for thier own benefit to justify the horrible deeds they do. I hope you can open your mind to Muslims, True muslims are peace lovers.

I've seen loads of products online, like cd courses and e-books and in shops, I've seen books on how to become psychic.

I know that in Buddhism, you can become enlightened with every bit of knowledge, as I've chosen Buddhism as my religion, but is this the same as being able to predict people's thoughts etc?

MAIN QUESTION BIT:
And is there anyway to actually to become psychic, or to improve your psychic awareness and ESP?
