Will Christians brab onto the Herod Tomb now?

Which is silly, because Herod has always been accepted as a real historical figure.

He just didn't do anything to a bunch of two year olds in Bethlehem back in the day, mostly because he was dead and the story is fiction.

I'm just curious, because some people seem to believe that all Christians are Southerners, and must be hicks. They also seem to believe that all of us are from small towns, sleep with our cousins, dropped out of school when we were thirteen, live on farms, and watch NASCAR.
As for those who aren't Christians, how about a short survey (inspired by Muslimah) on what you think I, as a Christian, am like?
1. Am I from a Southern State or a Northern State? Without looking at my profile, which one?
2. What level of education have I reached?
3. Have I always been a Christian?
4. What kind of music do I like?
5. Do I smoke, or drink alcohol?

I'm just tired of stereotypes. If you'd like to destroy some regarding your own religion, feel free.

The Bible is essentially a collection of books. The early Church decided which books should be included or excluded. How can the Bible be authoritative if the Church is not? If the Church is not authoritative, how do you know the Bible is authoritative? If the answer to both of those questions is that it inspires you, can a Muslim rightly say that the Quran is authoritative because it inspires them?

God doesn't really want everyone to be saved, does He?

If he did, I think he'd communicate with us directly, leaving us little room for disagreement, misinterpretation and confusion.

Most of it makes no sense anyway. It blows my mind that so many otherwise intelligent people (according to themselves) follow it blindly. The only thing my parents told me was to "just believe and don't question it". What's up with that?

I don't understand a Father who speaks only through the unclear words of people appointed to speak for him. The words are inevitably confusing and open to a wide variety of interpretations.

If He was a truly loving father, wouldn't he want to make it easy for everyone to become converted to His one true religion? Why not just descend, clearly state within everyone's view and hearing distance what he wants us to do, and then leave us to obey?

Yes, we wouldn't agree 100% on what God said during his visit, but if he really said the same thing to everyone at the same time, we would certainly agree 95%, wouldn't we? And then almost everyone could return to live with their loving Father--wouldn't that be nice?

Any idea how long it would take a man in the mid-east to visit every person on a Pacific island, Australia, South America, every eskimo and Inuit in the North, every village in North America, as well as all those throughout Asia, Africa and Europe?

-And- build an ark?

-And- grow crops and raise livestock with which to feed his family?

According to the geneologies Noah lived some time after 4000BC. It is a well established fact thatall of these places were inhabited.

When you comfort yourselves that everyone had fair warning and that the babies of the world were justly drowned by your god, how do you convince yourself that one man did all of the above?

And if all of these people were being given a fair chance, why did god order a boat built that would not accomodate more than the animals he'd selected and Noah's family? Where were these people supposed to fit into this ark? Did god send Noah on a wild goose chase telling everyone despite the fact god knew none would come?

Call me crazy if you wish, but I tend to use the dictionary to define words. The dictionary defines "spirit" as:

the principle of conscious life; the vital principle in humans, animating the body or mediating between body and soul.

Therefore, to be spiritual, you have to believe in a soul, which is defined as:
the principle of life, feeling, thought, and action in humans, regarded as a distinct entity separate from the body, and commonly held to be separable in existence from the body; the spiritual part of humans as distinct from the physical part.

I, for one, don't believe in a spirit or a soul, just in the thoughts that my mind produces.

Your thoughts?

I say no, but I sort of had an argument with my sister about this. She claims that since she does believe in God but doesn't believe in organized religion she is Agnostic. I refused to label myself as that as well. At the time I wasn't familiar with Deism so I just claimed to be of no particular belief or faith. I am definitely against organized religions, revealed religions, etc. I respect those other people's beliefs but to me religion has not seemed logical to me for a long time now. Can someone really knowledgeable on this topic explain the subtle differences between an atheist, a deist, and an agnostic. I consider myself closest to a deist. I don't believe in revealed religions. I believe God exists, and created all life and the universe but I don't believe he intefears, at least not directly so I subscribe to the whole "clockmaker," theory. I choose to believe in God because it seems very logical to me that a superior being or force created the universe.

How long have you been tithing? Has God kept his word to you in Malachie 3:10? How long after you decided to tithe you started to see the result? Strictly financial blessings. Don't tell me your car is never broken or you never got sick. Unbelievers who never tithe can experience these things. I really want to know because the last thing I'd want to do is to keep giving my money to a church that doesn't even care about you but ur $$.

Hi guys. I had a question on the term "zera sheqer" used in Isaiah 57:4 which I've seen translated commonly as "seed of falsehood" (KJV and others) and alternative as "offspring of liars" (NIV) which I have been told is the correct understanding.

This has confused me because zera from what I understand always refers to something physical and when used in reference to a person such as Israel in this case, it is the offspring of physical people. Looking at the Hebrew lexicon, it tells me that sheqer usually means falsehood, false, lie, lies, and one case in Proverbs, liar. The word for liars however is shakran and is not used here.

So my question is, how do you derive "liars" from sheqer and how do you know this is the correct meaning instead of "offspring of falsehood" or "offspring of lies" which is what the word "sheqer" seems to suggest. Was Isaiah referring to Israel as people descended from liars or metaphorically as a product of falsehood?

Thanks!

All right, I'm doing a school project on the soul in modern time, and I would appreciate any opinions on the matter. I don't need a bible definition; for this to work, I need to know what YOU think a soul is. Thank you for your time.
