If the whole world was flooded due to 40 days of rain, I would assume the water evaporates, condenses, and then falls to the earth again as rain.
Gravity pulls water back down to the earth again, so where did the water go? It's not here anymore, but should be. Did it just "magically" dissappear also?

Yes tobacco is deadly. It's a killed. every time you light up you are shortening your life. You are a health hazard to those who have to share your environment. When are you going to wake up to reality and know you have to quit.

Did you know that in many communities in the USA, local governments are allowing Muslims to string up loud speakers in multiple places throughout town to broadcast the 5-times daily call to prayer? Local noise ordinances are also being overlooked so that they can do their call to prayer.

Do you agree with this? I mean c'mon, why can't these people set the alarm on their wrist watch?

I ask because you sure don't seem to understand it very well or the same way as each other.

Armageddon is a real war, according to scripture, with blood and guts dying etc..
Its not a philosophical argument over souls.
In fact Jesus is to return and ride a horse into the battle wielding the lord's sword and literally slaying the enemies of Israel upon the battleground which is located in Israel.
Its all spelled out specifically if you care to read your bible.

I'd like to remind you that its YOUR bible, not mine., I am an atheist. I find it rather amusing having to constantly teach you Christians exactly what it is you believe.

As you can see from your answers to my questions, hardly any of you believe the same thing.
Can anyone explain to me how God's word could be so variously misunderstood?

A priest tried to convert my little sister, she's only young! I found him half bent over telling her about how she should accept Jesus into her life becasue otherwise she could go to Hell, so I kicked him right up the hole. I was wearing steel toe capped boots so he went flyin'. While he was clutching at his @ss I asked for forgiveness and he said nuttin' so I just figured that as a priest he'd have to forgive me anyway so I figured that's alright. My sister taught it was funny so that's all right too. But the bastards still preachin'! Maybe I didn't kick him hard enough?

trials come and go. First tendency is to panic then get down on our knees to pray for help.
but... there is something else that we should pray for that would relieve us of all the stress and worries.
What would that be??

As the teaching seems to be convincing many these days that 'We ourselves are God!" I invite all to jump up onto the podium and give us your opinion of us all and our attempts to save this planet and His physical matter existence. First God step forward please.................

"If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, 21: but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.” ---- Exodus 21:20-21


Maybe enslaved men can handle a beating but fragile women would be in pain beyond imagination.

The point being made is not whether or not Christians are released from following the divine law….the point is that if JESUS is the One God of the NT & OT then he said this about WOMEN.

When someone says that they think Hitler wasn't all that bad others think its appalling, even christians. The horrors that were inflicted on the world by the Nazi party were childs play considered to the atrocities carried out by the christian church. While the Nazi party supports Racism, Christianity supports sexual, racial and religious discrimination. So why is it acceptable to support Christianity but not The Nazi Party?

King James Version
3But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
5But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven
6For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
9Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
10For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels

Can someone explain this? Im quite shocked myself. I didnt know this book carried so much horror and shame....?

If you believe the Bible as a true account of his life, he actually said this,

"... those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me."

- Luke 19:27

What happened to turning the other cheek and loving thy neighbor? I guess doubting Jesus' divinity is the exception and murder is the just reaction.

Sounds like a swell guy, huh? Of course, you're always free to cherry pick what parts you want to agree with. How convenient it must be.

Especially those who believe the Bible which tells us to prove all things. In the Book of Mormon we find a powerful witness for the divinity, life, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We have 500+ pages of new scriptures that were given to us by the power of God.

Yet people reject it without reading it. Even ignoring all the external physical evidence for it, we have the 12 witnesses who testified to their dying day that the record was revealed by God. Some were killed for their testimony and sealed it in their blood. We also have a promise within it's pages that those who read and ponder the mercy of the Lord, and who will humble themselves before God, and ask Him will know for themselves that the Book of Mormon is true.

I can promise that God will reveal the Book of Mormon to be true. The Holy Spirit has testified to me that it's true. That Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that God still reveals His will to His servants today. But don't take my word for it. Read it yourself.

I am a struggling Christian. I don't go to church and I rarely read the Bible, because I don't like reading. I know that humans are wretched (including myself). I know that Good & Evil exist. I know that we are being tested although we all fall short before the Glory of God. It makes clear sense to me that material things are worthless. I've accepted Jesus as my savior although it seems I repent a lot and take it for granted but I truly feel guilty when I sin and always repent. Would God say "good job you made full use of your life and honored me". NO WAY. I pretty much failed him big time. I do not like people at all. I've tried for 28 years but it just doesn't work and I've accepted it. I sin a lot but always repent although I really have no fruit to show or anything really that God could be happy about. Will I go to heaven? I accepted his son as my savior because God obviously knows that we are pieces of sh*t. I know the nature of evil and I want to be back in the garden.
