I found it hard to word this question to be honest.
But the Bible is based (if not actually written) on a society that ran 2000 years ago, thus alot of the basic idea's do not nesecerraly apply in today's day and age.
Should the bible be altered to reflect these changes in society? or should it be labeled a book of the past with how things were done then, simply as a guide for key issues (i.e. thou shalt not kill etc)

I think it questions whether anyone can choose to be religious or not, I've mentioned this before, but never with video. It's 4 minutes long, but it's interesting......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3nt9P8XeIo

i mean instead of fighting with them, shouldnt we question our own motives? i dont mean fight amongest ourselves either. we are getting no where trying to prove who's right, wrong, smart or stupid. i love learning more and more bout the bible, and it seems everyday i find something new. but i get few responses cause so many is more interested in debating with non christians. any thoughts of what ive said?

How much of the bible supports this and Rev.20:12,13?

Rev.11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

okay somebody just asked how I knew god planted the tree(adam and eve story) so then if it wasnt god then who was it? seriously, I doubt adam and eve were able to plant a damn tree if they didnt how to do it since god didnt want them to eat from the tree of fruit of knowledge.

And church thumpers, dont suggest that I dont have God in my life. I have my own faith and knowledge of God in my life. I dont need the justification of any bible-humping, self-righteous born again telling me that i need to go to a sweaty-chin church to know God. by the way I love you all.

I know a guy who was raised in the church. He backslid and got into all kind of sex. He went over the deep end as far as I am concerned because it was orgies, perversion, bi-sexuality, and whatever else he could do. He got his act together after years of backslidding, and now he is interested in a wife.

I do not feel it is right because no woman wants anyone with that background. He is living a Christian life and is not playing games. Nevertheless, I feel as if he has too much baggage to take into a marriage. How do you feel females?

I am not judging him!

Come on people, we have really turned this place into a $#!% hole. If you believe that the galactic landlord's son is coming over for dinner, don't you think we should stop our sibling rivalry and start at least picking up all stuff we've broken. Maybe he will fix the A/C for us.

...spend so much time in Religion and Spirituality? Seems like they would rather go pull the wings off flies or something.

Seriously, its like putting chocolate chip cookies in front of a fat kid and expecting him not to eat it. or like putting a dollar in front of a bum and expecting them not to take it.

I have been looking some Christian question and have been shoked to find out that most opf people nthink we are extremely bad. People say that Christian say that everything is badd, but really we don't. Sure, we're against Harry Potter, because of Witchcraft, homosexuality, cussing, etc. why do some people hat or are extremely rude to Christians? Are they afriad of the truth?

i get my share of hate mail for some of my answers AND i've gotten a couple of violations. cool. i'm not the sweetest Christian in the yellow pages because i think a lot of things are funny and prefer to laugh or poke fun instead of engage in loony conversations that are not going to go anywhere anyway.

but i've NEVER sent an email to someone because they gave a dumb, racist, hater, blasphemous or plain old knuckledheaded answer. 90% is i see it as a waste of time and the remaining 10% is i simply don't care and won't remember the question or answer 5 minutes after reading it...

but i just read this news article and wonder how many of y'all ever went navy on a fellow r&s'er? (considering some of the hater mail i get...i'm betting more than a few...

I talked to someone (technically a theist, though he avoids "labels") who said this. Well, theism has no evidence and yet claims to be correct despite this, so it is flawed. However atheism is just absence of belief in a god or gods. It's not a doctrine or religion - it's nothing to *be* flawed, and even if it were it is not as it is just a negative claim.

He said that atheism is nihilistic and a claim to be certain that God doesn't exist.

Question: Anyone agree with his claims? Why? (He didn't explain so I'd like to get other voices on the subject.)

Seriously.
Gen 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam...
ADAM wrote the book up to this this point which was passed eventually passed on to Noah....
Gen 10:1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah...
The book was added on to by his sons and eventually passed to Shem who btw was still alive when Abraham was called out of UR...
Who the heck to you think wrote those geneologies down and passed them on to their children?!?!?! How would Abraham know about all those people who existed before the flood if there wasn't a written record?!?! Adam's grandchildren were creating cities, were cattlemen, made musical instruments, created metal objects out of bronze and iron, etc..If they could do all that, don't you think they could scratch symbols out for sounds?!?! Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, we were monkeys up until a few years ago. Silly me.

Hands up here who believed their parents knew everything when they were a kid? Who believed in Santa Claus because their parents said he was real? And who, once they grew older, realised he wasn't, and that their parents had made up a story to soften the real world and make it nice and warm and fun.

Isn't this actually the same process by which we are brought to believe in gods? The made-up stories to soften the edges of human ignorance about the universe with a simple "God did it"?

How come we can so easily let go of one kind of mythology and yet we're prepared to kill each other to protect another? Did I miss a meeting of the Logic Committee or something?

Faith comes by hearing the Word as you know.When we do seriously believe,then comes the experience with God,one on one,as a result,then comes the "KNOWING" Do you think the hardest thing to explain is the "experience" ? How can we possiblily find "words" to ever be able to explain that?

If there is any truth in this, shouldn't it be true for everyone?
