They would be exact duplicates, have the same memories and beliefs. A week later they die just like the first man without ever converting. And please, have the balls to answer a silly hypothetical question without saying how dumb it is.

Stick with me here,
Jesus prayed: "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified." Matthew 6:9
Another scripture reads "Let all flesh bless [God's] holy name to time indefinite, even forever."—Psalm 145:21.

Obviously the writers of the bible believed that god's name was important. Despite this, many years after the scriptures were compiled, the almost 7000 instances of god's name "YHWH" were replaced with the title "LORD." Alright fair enough..we know that the people who took the name out were superstitious and didn't want to speak god's name despite the bible's clear message of everyone knowing it. The question is, why is bible still censored and not written as it originally was meant to be? I'm not religious but it seems that if one really believed in the bible being the holy word of god they'd want it to be as close to the original as possible. What are your thoughts on this?

Like I was some unwashed bush creature who had never heard about what he was saying? What do they expect me to say? Who is this Jesus of whom you speak?

God said that He would do it Himself and the world will know without a doubt that it was Him because of the means by which He did it would be so wonderous, marvellous, and astonishing. All of this "help" from the people might just cause a bit of doubt. He also said that when the people of Israel return, they would be living peacefully and prosperously from the get go. He also said that the whole world would love Israel when they return. God never once said regarding the return of Zion that Israel was to re-gain it themselves, hold it themselves, and it is a mortal sin and curse to relinquesh it. God also said that when they return that they would walk in all of His statutes, judgments, and righteousness. I don't think that this is the one that He's talking about in the return of Zion.

Does anyone else see this trend of how people are encouraging people to find "the god that works" kind of idea. I just don't get it! It's kind of like that scripture where Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." But they are more like what god fits "my way", "my truth", my life". Oh my! Sounds like we are all wanting to worship ourself and find "some" little god out there to believe in us? What is everyone elses thoughts?

Oh by the way...I feel privledged to discuss this topic, since it use to be me. I was a new ager! Haha isn't God funny!

Lets say somehow the 20 different Amino acids that form proteins, formed the proper proteins that became a simple one celled lifeform.
This is a big stretch, since the simplist bacterium has 30,000 different proteins.
DNA is the coded instructions for replication, growth and assembly of all future generations.
The most efficent information storage system in the known universe.
In the orginal bacterium, there would not have been any DNA to evolve since it was the first of its kind and DNA is inheritied.

Where did it come from?

You can't argue it evolved since according to evolution there must be a originator that was then acted on by the forces of natrual selection.

What originated the DNA?

A two thousand year old story hardly qualifies as news. Maybe, in the day it was news but now?

About being a stubborn and rebellious people. About how angry and upset He was at them. Most of the time when God talks in the Bible, He's literally talking about how bad Israel is. Am I not correct in saying this?

I mean if it's to pass on Knowledge and help others understand what you mean, is being hateful rude and obnoxious the Key?
Or is it that there is so much pent up anger against God that they Just have to erupt and vent?

The teacher grabbed the kid, took him to the principals office and started yelling at him for having a Bible in school (it's not against the law) and reading it. She then took the kids Bible and threw it in the waste can. Question: What if that were the Koran? What if it was the Koran the student was reading and not the Bible and the teacher did the same thing. In todays society, would this "non-muslim" teacher have her @ss in a jam? The ALCU supposedly jumped on this case in favor of the teacher implying she did the right thing. Would they do the same thing if it were the Koran? Please answer the question and not make a remark only.
