Or do you deny that he was married and leave his orientation in question? After all, in those days an unmarried man of his age would seem unusual.

Don't freak out, please. Thaaanks.

How do you know Adam and Eve existed? Who wrote it in the bible? Them? Did they invent the written language then? If it was passed down, how do you know it wasn't altered?

And who did their son marry? His sister? Or his mom?

Bible Chrisitians are "famous" for saying, "this is what the Word of God says" and they do it. Yet, when it comes to Mary, the mother of Jesus, do they really live out the Word? In Holy Scripture we find:

Luke 1:41-42, 46-49

41 And it happened, when Elizabeth hear the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled witht he Holy Spirit. 42 Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you among wome, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!"

46 And Mary said: "My soul magnifies he Lord, 47 and my spirit has rejoiced in God my savior. 48 For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; for behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed. 49 For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.

How do Bible Christians live out the Word of God to call Mary blessed?

P.S. No where does this passage say or imply to worship Mary (idolatry you know).

Have you seen the sky on fire
....Just before the sun is up?
Seen a hummingbird sip nectar
....From a morning glory cup?
Have you seen the world reflected
.... In a crystal drop of due?
Seen the sun paint a rainbow
....When the summer storm is through?
Have you seen the color spectrum
....In the ripples of a stream?
Seen the full moon mellow magic
....Cast a summer evening's dream?
Have you seen an eagle soaring?
Seen the gentle mourning dove?
Then you've seen God paint a picture
....With the paintbrush of His love.

William Daniel Robinson

This all so reminds me of all the colors of people and their special individal gifts God gave each one of us to make this world turn, to help one another, to comfort one another, and to be compassionate to one another.

I mean seriously, there is no proof. Is it just some way to excuse yourself from doing heinous things? Or is it just an elaborate scheme to make money? Jesus seems like the ultimate hustler.

WOW! Today I was going to questions that seen to challenge many of the Christian Values that I hold! Wanting to share and witness on them but, to find that they have been Deleated! I do see too many challenges and I Pray that at least what I write may help some of them.

I do not mean to be offensive to ANYONE! I have many people that I know in my own life - I may disagree with them but, we do talk and have nice times!

Take Care ALL and God Bless!

I try not to be rude, but if you're standing on my porch & you have awakened me at 7am to try to convert me to your sect, I am going to be quick & shut the door.

I have heard every story they have to tell & I have on several occasions out of mere curiosity allowed them to sit in my living room & give detailed presentations on why I should join. However, I found that none of them fit my beliefs.

I have always used the fact that animals and humans share almost identical bodies to prove the existance of evolution. From the genetic code to most of the chemicals in the body, to the cells and their function; to the organ structures and their function are identical, certainly in mammals and even in other types of animals. So if God did create the world as in Genesis then it used the same template with slight variations for the different types of animals.

All my life i was brought up that god was real, and jesus was our savior, and we should pray, and go to church, i even went to catholic school for several years (though i have no religious affiliation) But i just cannot beleive. I have had a life as such that it seems that if there was a higher being, he is toying with me, having fun with my life. Whenever i get something nice, it is ripped away from me. This applies to most things in my life at one point or another. I consider myself agnostic, beleiving in SOME form of high power, weather it be ghosts, aliens, or something alltogether different, but i find it hard to beleive in a "god" that would let such things happen to generally good people. I also find it hard that some people can actually be rewarded for being wicked. My sister is a HORRIBLE person, she does drugs, drinks, is a homosexual, and does tons of other bad things, including pick on me ALL the time, but she has EVERYTHING. How can i accept a god that allows this?

Acts 1:9-12 Says it took place at Mount Olivet, FORTY days after his resurrection. Now really, how could such an error be written into the Bible if, as you Christians say, it is Inspired. Wouldn't Jesus or God have transmitted them the TRUTH?

I am annoyed that my name is from a religion. I wish to change it so it reflects me and not my beliefs.

block you because you call them on their lies and refuse to agree with them? I think it's funny, and pathetic that they are too insecure to debate.

What do you think?

According to Jesus in Matthew 7:21-23 "Matthew 7:21-23 "Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness"

So if heaven is not your choice then the lake of fire is the one.

If the punishment is to fit the crime, then an eternity in hell should be reserved only for the most unimaginably heinious acts. Yet the christians tell me that I will burn in hell simply for not believing as they do.
