I for one will not allow them to bully me. You don't have to agree with me or like me. I really don't care what you people think of me. I still have a right to respond to questions and ask questions as well.

This is a museum opening in Kentucky on memorial day weekend.
It considers the bible a literal document, they tackle things such as dinosaurs, plate tectonics, carbon dating and the great flood. This is the website:
http://www.creationmuseum.org/plan-your-visit

Would you go? Would you take your kids?
I am planning a visit, simply because creationism fascinates me. I am undecided whether or not I will take my children. I will have to visit it first and decide.

So what are your thoughts (please incude what your religion or belief system is)?

The Snake in the Garden = Mesopotamian Mythology.

Lucifer = Mediterranean astronomical mythology (The planet Venus)

Satan = The Egyptian mischief God, Set.

Satan in Hell = Pluto in Hades, Thoth as guardian of the Underworld

Satan in the book of Job = A Devil's advocate character invented for effect.

The Anti-Christ = Roman Emperors who declared themselves gods and persecuted the Christians and Jews.

Baelzebub = The gods worship by the other Canaanite tribes.

It seems he's just a convenient character that can be anyone or anything that personifies what you people don't like at the moment.

It never appears as a well thought out concept, just some vague nonsense culled from a dozen or more tales and mythologies.

Or are cats the devil's tool? Which do you think God prefers? Does this preference depend on God's apparent gender?

Isn't it more of an organized system of Atheism?

If Jesus was coming to save us, why did god only make him visible in the middle east? What about the rest of the world. There where thriving civilizations all around the globe during his time on earth. Why didn't he go to South America or China? If god sent him to save us, didn't he think that those people where worth saving? It doesn't make any sense to me.

Colssians 3:22
Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. 23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.

I am not trying to be offensive at all...it is alo in the Quran...I just want to know how anyone can think or agree that God wants some of his creation to be enslaved to others.

Ok, if we were created from adam and eve would that mean there was only one race? How could so many different races exist if there was only one source? Evolutionist, this is also a problem for your theories also. If a human is a human what ever the source how could there be so many different races?

I don't buy into any theory presented to date. Whats your defense on your belief?

Who would you prefer to be your child's teacher?

A gay Christian
A Muslim
A Mormon
A Jehovah's Witness
A fundamentalist Christian, previously accused of child abuse, before being "born again".

Why is this question offensive? Some said gay Christian is an oxymoron...but, I am gay and Christian...and no one should stand in judgement of another's heart...

Anyway, just curious...as to why someone would report this question.

Genesis 12:3, where the Lord says that He "will bless those who bless the Jews and curse whoever curses the Jews."
the formation of the State of Israel in 1948 is proof that the Jews are still "God's Chosen People," and that He still has prophetic plans for them. (This has been asserted more vigorously than ever due to the recent hostilities in the Middle East). God was at work bringing the Jews back to their "ancient homeland," and that they have a Biblical right to claim Palestine as their own. these claims are correct! Was the formation of the State of Israel evidence of God's blessing? Yes it is!!! ;-)

DO you belive if not why?

IF so, how come he regretted creating us ( imperfect creations) and wiped out all humans but the Noahs??

Did God make a mistake or what????

isn't it a good thing eve ate from the tree of knowledge? if not we'd still be living to the ripe old age of 1000 or older. this world would still have people on it from 1000 years back. can you imagine how densely populated the earth would be in this scenario? we'd probaly all die from starvation. i think we all owe a debt of gratitude to eve. she obviously cared more about mankind, and was willing to sacrafice herself as well as her reputation as being responsible for the fall of mankind, simply so that man and woman would only live a few decades as opposed to a few centuries, and thus making the world a little more liveable for everyone. thank you eve...

you know how people say everyone God made is special and that he put them on earth for a purpose, well is it possible that maybe God doesn't really want some of us, like that we could be a mistake or something, we are here on this earth but we have no purpose? cuz i feel like i have no purpose all my friends seem to have a purpose and doing things for God but i seem to not be able ot get it right, i feel like God doesn't want me or something, or like im just useless. :(
