Ezekiel 23:19-21 seems to be saying that Egyptian men have huge ... um... boy parts. Am I reading this wrong?

Any Egyptians here care to comment on the literal truth of the Bible?

(source)
"Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth."

I know its fiction, but the explosive theories and information presented by Dan appears to be very convincing, yet offensive to many devout Christians and Muslims.

Do you leave it as just fiction or does it make you stop and think, and think hard?

there is so much of it I just don't believe? I do not believe that we were created from Adam, I do not believe we lived to be 100's of years old and I do not believe the Book of Revelations as it has been proved to have been written in the 14th Century and is somebody's idea of a sick joke!!
I do however, believe that we go to heaven, that we should be kind and considerate to our fellow man and try to live a good Christian life. So does that mean I am not really a Christian as I don't go to church except for weddings and funerals? I do pray when the going gets tough though, so does that count?

Holy Bible suggests don't mend it, do end it.
Christ: is the end of the law (Romans 10:4).
Thereby Christ is the Saviour of the world.

I saw some Jack Chick tract (yes I know they're garbage) a while back, where some kid finds out there is no Santa and is so disillusioned that he grows up to be a serial killer. I remember hearing people say that if your children find out there isn't a Santa they'll be mad at you and think that you lied to them.
But seriously,
Don't most children figure it out on their own? I knew since I was eight that Santa wasn't real, but I pretended to believe for two more years to spare my parents feelings.

I have just watched a very interesting clip on Youtube, which shows and explains images from the Hubble Space Telescope. It clearly shows many hundreds of thousands of galaxies, each with 100's of 1000's of stars and planets in them.

Logic and probability tells the sane of mind that at least a handful of these galaxies far far away have planets with life on them.

Does our God also cover these planets? Or do they have their own God?

This question comes from someone who was born and raised Protestant but always questioned the teaching of salvation through faith alone. This has never really made much sense to me because what does it really prove about a man if he does believe that Jesus is divine? Many Christians accept this teaching through faith alone and don't really bother to think about it much for the rest of their lives. Somehow, they are saved due to what may be their own intelectual laziness and now I may be damned because I am now questioning this.
My question for the religious is how can I find out who Jesus really is when you can find scholars who give copious evidence to prove that He is both Divine and the opposite. I don't believe in "following my heart" because I am an emotional being and I can easily be misled by my heart. I can pray and I do, but how do I really know when I know???

the verse is Ephisians 6:11-17
11Put on the full armour of God so as to be able to resist the devil's tactics.

12For it is not against human enemies that we have to struggle, but against the principalities and the ruling forces who are masters of the darkness in this world, the spirits of evil in the heavens.

13That is why you must take up all God's armour, or you will not be able to put up any resistance on the evil day, or stand your ground even though you exert yourselves to the full.

14So stand your ground, with truth a belt round your waist, and uprightness a breastplate,

15wearing for shoes on your feet the eagerness to spread the gospel of peace

16and always carrying the shield of faith so that you can use it to quench the burning arrows of the Evil One.

17And then you must take salvation as your helmet and the sword of the Spirit, that is, the word of God.

"May the bones of the hands and the bones of the fingers decay and decompose, of him who turns the pages of the book of Daniel, to find out the time of Daniel 9:24-27, and may his memory rot from off the face of the earth forever (Talmudic Law, p. 978, Section 2, Line 28)."

I'm quoting from a webpage I found:
"One of the most popular false gods of the world is Santa Claus. Children around the world worship Santa Claus. Do you know what the word "worship" means? It simply means: "The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a sacred object." Hence, many parents are indeed teaching their children to worship Santa. Children's minds are consumed with this fictitious fat slob dressed in red. Children should not be led to believe in a fictitious character who can read people's minds, is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. To deliver presents to every child in one night is something ONLY an omnipotent God could do. Don't you see what the Devil is doing to little children? As the child grows older and realizes that there is NO Santa, he is already CONDITIONED to become an atheist as well. "

I'm one of those people who think the reformation was caused by the printing press, not by Martin Luther. Before him there were many other dissenters also, but they were generally quenched very easily. When Luther went to the Diet of Worms many people along the way had already read his work, and people cheered and booed him all along the way. He was the one of the first stars of the printing press age. And at the same time his ideas spread many other ideas spread as well, like never before. If every pamphlet the reformers wrote would have had to be copied by hand, they would never have been able to spread faster than they were persecuted.

So now everyone with an opinion can just create a youtube channel and speak to a worldwide audience directly. And if you say something that really speaks to people that message will not go around the world in years or months, but in days or hours. Can we expect a second reformation? Will opinions divide even more? Or will we be able to see the

Is the potential in the seed?

If you plant honesty, you will reap trust

If you plant goodness, you will reap friends.

If you plant humility, you will reap greatness.

If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment

If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective.

If you plant hard work, you will reap success.

If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation.

If you plant faith in Christ, you will reap a harvest.

So, be careful what you plant now; it will determine what you will reap later.

Tell me what are you sowing?

(Ge•hen'na) [Gr. form of the Heb. Geh Hin•nom', “Valley of Hinnom”].
This name appears 12 times in the Christian Greek Scriptures, and whereas many translators take the liberty to render it by the word “hell,” a number of modern translations transliterate the word from the Greek ge'en•na.—Mt 5:22, Ro, Mo, ED, NW, BC (Spanish), NC (Spanish), also the footnotes of Da and RS.


Matthew 5:22 "εγω δε λεγω υμιν οτι πας ο οργιζομενος τω αδελφω αυτου ενοχος εσται τη κρισει ος δ αν ειπη τω αδελφω αυτου ρακα ενοχος εσται τω συνεδριω ος δ αν ειπη μωρε ενοχος εσται εις την "γεενναν" του πυρος
