What other color would you want him to be? And why?

If he ever chose to change from Green, I would want him to be Purple, because Purple is the color of transmutation and I would like to see him transmute in a ball of violet flame. I think that would be VERY cool.

NOTE: THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT I DO NOT LIKE THE GREEN!!! Just wondering, that's all. And hey, by the way, why green??

The Bible tells us to test the spirits and to not believe an angel if he tells you something wrong. If you don't know the Scriptures well enough to know if they're misleading you, how do you test the spirit or angel?

"Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world."1 John 4:1 (NIV)

You evolutionists all believe in science but you don't understand that evolution has been scientifically disproven by the second law of thermodynamics.

Rudolph Clausius (one of the founders of thermodynamics) formulated the 2nd law as:
In an isolated system, a process can only occur if it increases the total entropy of that system.

The Earth is an isolated system. (In reality, the Earth is not an isolated system but I'm ignoring that point because it refutes my argument.)

Evolution is a process that decreases the total entropy of a system because it makes things more ordered. (Actually, entropy is measured as the availability of energy to do work and evolution has nothing to do with that. I'm ignoring this point too, because it refutes my argument.)

Therefore, as long as I ignore the points that refute my argument, I can prove that evolution could not occur on Earth!
What say you about that, evolutionists?

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

it's what he says , or because its who you truely are? If you want to do something but don't because it's against God, then isnt that half as bad as actually doing it? People say, I don't do it becasue its againt God ect... You rarley hear I don't do it becasue its not who I am. If someone has evil thoughts or wants some thing "bad"all the time but doesnt act upon them becasue of God, does that really make them a good person? So are you the way you are becasue you follow God or becasue its who you are?

why do you tell people this lie? what do you gain from this?

note: you can get this question reported or not, I don't care. I just honestly want to know why you lie about the Church.

I may be mistaken but.....from what i've learned Christians are constantly trying not to commit sin and asking for forgiveness. Why can't we just do what we want and if we think it is wrong then forgive ourselves and not do it again? Getting drunk, being promiscuous, being lazy...if you're happy why would God not be? Who is to say that Jesus is constantly judging our actions....i don't think being judgmental makes a good God, why can't we choose for ourselves what is right and wrong, and if there really has to be any wrong in the world if we don't want there to be? For example most people consider war wrong....what if death, suffering, pain was not wrong or right but just simply existed. After all everyones perception of right and wrong is different, right?

I am constantly able to reference biblical verses while most Christians can only reference your typical John 3:16 types. And most of the time when they are debating with me they actually claim that certain verses aren't in the bible but I physically show them from one of the 8 bible's I own and they just stand there with a dumb look on their faces. Doesn't it make logical sense to know as much about your religion before you "Blindly follow it?

Please, I'd like to see this question answered by those who are followers of Jesus Christ.

I was reading Ephesians 1 last night and a passage struck me as applicable to the Christians here in the Religion and Spirituality forum. We often come in here to the bickering and often get sucked into the negativity and nastiness here, and we don't exemplify Christ-like behavior in the process.

The passage is too long to cut and paste, so here is the link to Ephesians 1:15-19, courtesy of Bible Gateway, New International Version:
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%201:15-19;&version=31;

Take a look at it, and tell me what you think? In the context of the Religion and Spirituality forum, how can we encourage one another and show the love which God has given us for one another?

Is it godly, or, right for a Christian woman to sleep with an ungodly man. She (my mom) believes in God, and so does he, but he's not saved. They aren't married, and it seems as though she has changed for the worse every since she has been with him. She's constantly screaming at my sister and I for the most pettiest things, she puts us to the side and will hardly do anything for us, but she will give the whole world to him. I can't put up with her anymore so I'm moving out with someone else in a few short hours and will never return. May I remind you, SHE ISN'T MARRIED TO THIS DUDE!! It's been nearly a month and a week she hasn't been to church. If this is not of God, why no, if He approves of this, why? Is there anything in the Bible stating that this is wrong?

For example, there is no mention of how two of every dinosaur would fit on the Noah boat. Reason: the writer was a storyteller who didn't know about dinosaurs yet.

Interesting how there's scarcely anything in the stories that would indicate an all-knowing Being's knowledge of the future. Where are the discussions of automobiles, cancer, robots, air pollution, asteroid collisions and the moons of Jupiter? Oh yeah, a Creator would know about these things, but the primitive HUMANS who wrote these stories did not.

If a Supreme Being wanted to give humanity a message, It would make it relevant and identifiable to more than a couple particular generations and their activities. For example, where does the Bible talk about abortion?
With "Genesis" debunked, what of the rest of it?

If not, when is the best time to get answers from a Christian perspective?

It's just that sometimes you have questions that are best to be opened to anyone, and other times it's better to get insight from those who follow Christ.

If there were "hundreds" of witnesses to that event, don't you think some were literate enough to write about that newsworthy event?

If so, why was the new testament portion of the bible only written about 50 years after the alleged resurrection? Sure, news travels slower back then, but given the magnitude of the alleged event, don't you think that some literate roman would have it scribed down somewhere?

So how come there are no contemporaneous written records of this alleged supernatural event?

...freethinkers?

As a progressive and an atheist, I'm often tempted to apply the term "freethinker" to myself. But if so many people agree with so many of my opinions, and our ideas and opinions come from many of the same sources, how can that be called free thought?

People with original if not orignary ideas are indeed free thinkers - Einstein, Darwin, Kant, Jeffery Sachs, Martin Luther, David Bowie, Muhammed Ali, etc...

But what the hell gives us average Joes and Janes the right to call ourselvs free thinkers? Isn't it like the clique in high school that dressed the same, listened to the same music, rebelled against the same "establishment', but yet the called themselves non-conformists?

You may think of it as funny ha-ha, but more than that it's funny in a creepy and sad sort of way.

Can it be that rational adults believe that?
The belief is creepy -- and the minds that hold it.

Question: If you ever believed it as an adult, what was it like?
