According to archaelogists like Jonathan Gray, this may very well be the case, as there is evidence to point to this. Did you know boats have been discovered in the most unlikely places around the world? Africa, Russia, the middle east, these ancient vessels carried the naysayers and skeptics who would be the atheists of today. However, they were proven wrong when they saw what would have been skyscraper high waves closing in on them.

If a man who changed to a woman, who is now living with a woman, and considers herself a lesbian. Is it really a sin, because she is really a man acording to the Gender that God gave her? So she is really with a woman, which is not really a lesbian situation.
I just find them to be extremely confused due to past life kamra and attachments to the bodily conseption of life. We are not these material bodies or genders. BUt we should act acoridng to the body we are given. Otherwise we are going against the laws of material nature and this causes one more suffering. (acording to the Vedic viewpoint.

Are they supposed to?
I'm talking about the 'big picture'. I've noticed that you've been sifting the wheat from the chaff and collecting the kernels of truth, insight, and wisdom. (haven't you?) You've been piecing a puzzle together; assembling a private worldview of all that is. Is it whole yet? Will it ever be? Do you have pieces that don't seem to fit, yet you hang on to them for other reasons? Why? Are they dependent on pieces you haven't aquired yet? What pieces haven't you found? The meaning of your name? The meaning of an unresolved chapter of your life? Something else? Do you have any idea of what the big picture will look like when it's complete, or are you hoping it will occur to you as you piece it together? Will it happen in your lifetime?
Can you force the pieces into place? If they fall into place naturally and something clicks, what then? What does the big picture look like ?
If you feel the slightest impulse to answer, then this question is intended for you.

The way I understand it, John the baptiser, preached omission of sins through repentance. If I am wrong, please correct me. However, when a christian tries to evangelize a Jewish person this isn't mentioned. Instead, christians maintain that omission of sin was only ever attained by the shedding of blood, which is odd, because the temple was standing during the life of John. Did he preach heresy? (hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, the implications?) With no temple, Jews believe omission of sin can be had by repentence, prayer and good deeds. How is the doctrine of John the baptiser different or similar to the modern rabbinic understanding of omission of sin?

I can't for the life of my understand how you can all claim to be followers of this mythology, yet you never question any of it. By questioning the logic behind it, wouldn't that make your understanding of it that much better?
That being said: "Bible (written by Yahweh, right?) 'predicts' a Messiah who will die (according to apologetics). Yahweh sends his 'son' jesus as a human sacrifice.
If that's the case, then Jesus is not a volunteer, he is a pawn. He has no choice in the matter. Yahweh decided to send him to earth, knowing full well (being omniscient after all) that he was going to be tortured to death.

And by the way, are these the words of a volunteer:

"Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani? ("My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"

non-christians, atheists, what would you do (lets say that you are married) if your beloved children went to church and accepted Christ, and go home and tell you to believe in Jesus passionately?

To be honest, i must say i never managed to get past page 223 (the number still haunts me to this day), also, it is the most boring thing i ever tried to read and i mean it when i say i dont blame anyone for not reading it (it is very very boring). Still, i'm willing to give it another shot, does anyone have a trick not to fall imediatly asleep while reading it? Any friendly advice? things to pay attention while reading it?

And also, what are your thoughts on the book? Did you like it? Were you amused by all the things Darwing got wrong? (some of them seem pretty funny when we see it nowadays) and about all the things he got right?

People are always asking Christians here on R&S if they have ever read the Bible front to back (i'm also still working on that, but it isn't nearly as boring, even the genealogies), still don't feel like this question is to even things out. Far from it i'd also like to have coments from people who don't like or accept evolution.

It reads: "There is no scientific basis for concluding that lesbian mothers or gay fathers are unfit parents on the basis of their sexual orientation. On the contrary, results of research suggest that lesbian and gay parents are as likely as heterosexual parents to provide supportive and healthy environments for their children."

Jesus displayed to the public that if sins are committed the pain and sufferings experienced would be excruciating.

Judging by the way he was whipped and nailed to a cross.

If so then having born in this world is a sin considering the dead, dying and adout to die children and new born.

Though they never commit a sin in their ONE and ONLY BIRTH (christian concept).

Logically there is an error in concept here.

Think carefully before answering.

How do you feel about the idea that there is only one way into heaven? Jesus said I am the way and the truth? How do you feel about that?
