Our hearts desire most things in life so could it be that our very hearts are the root of evil??

It is astonishing what happens to stories when young Bible scholars retell them: From a chapter "Fractured English," published by Pocket Books.

The Bible is full of many interesting caricatures. Michael Angelo painted them on the Sixteen Chapels.

The first five books of the Bible are Genesis, Exodus, Laxatives, Deuteronomy, and Numbers. In the first book of the Bible, Guinesses, God got tired of creating the world, so he took the Sabbath off. Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. One of their children, Cain, asked, "Am I my brother's son? My punishment is greater than I can bare."

Noah's wife was called Joan of Ark. But she only answered to Jean because she could not speak English. He built an ark, which the animals came on to in pears. Lot's wife was a pillar of salt by day, but a ball of fire by night.

Saddam and Gomorrah were twins. Sodom and Gomorra was destroyed in the Earthquakes (and fire) of 1906 & 19

Is there a better way than reason to acquire knowledge and truth?

If your answer to the above question is "faith," then why are there so many contradictory faiths in the world?

Tiny marine life (fossilized) shows up on its surface, it is in-fact made up of sediment from an ancient inland sea, most of the limestone I've worked with comes from Indiana. When this life was alive and active what was God thinking, because there were no church builders at the time, and there would'nt be for another million years.

Christian peace keepers are in the Middle East trying to end this bloody war the Muslims have waged against America by flying jet liners into our World Trade Centers. Catholic churches are housing and feeding thousands of people due to the Hurricane Katrina disaster. Southern Catholic churches donated over $50,000,000 to the hurricane katrina victims and they do not get a thank you from anyone..

But I never see unbelievers bashing or insulting the satanists or Devil worshippers that burn down churches or spray paint 666 on the side of churches.

This world has gone mad. Just like the bible said it would.

Notice how the unbelievers will never condemn the evil doers?

"Jesus swept."

We enjoy, in this country, a freedom to practice whatever religion we choose. We also enjoy the freedom to practice no religion at all. This idea that’s been circulating lately of the U.S. being a “Christian Nation” is a myth, a complete fabrication.

This country was founded on the principles of liberty. Necessary to these principles is a secular government, one that allows for the practice of religion, but does not endorse any particular religion of its own. It’s true there were a number of Christians among our founding fathers. There were also a number of Agnostics, Deists, and Atheists as well. This country was not founded upon the Bible, it was founded upon the Constitution of the United States of America, within which lies a distinction between the affairs of church and state.

I see people complaining about everyone in the church and then wonder why their children aren't interested in becoming Christians.

I know, God wrote the bible, but he was more like a Muse and used human beings as his pen. So the question is who actually and physically wrote the bible?

What scriptures were added with the discovery of the dead sea scrolls?

Many say its not relevant, but why? What do you think the Bible's content is all about? Even if you don't believe in God please explain. Have you read it for yourself? Would you consider reading it? If not why not?

Christianity regards faith as a valid basis of spiritual knowledge and accept as true many beliefs which aren't verified or verifiable by science. Shouldn't religion rely upon their worshiper knowlege and their intelligence to discover the fundamental truth of life.

We human beings don't even know our own minds. We do not know ourselves at all. We think we are conscious, but we are unaware. How can we ever know god without know who we really are? God is also is super being he is thrown out of reach. How can one understand god, or emulate one?

Hi there. I have recently started going out with an INdian guy (from India). This guy is so religious and every day they do prayers, or Pooja. They do this one really strange prayer and frankly I have a hard time believing they are serious. Surely they must be joking! But nopes, for the past several years we have been dating they do the same thing every day.

The mother cooks some traditional foods and then she scrapes the whole thing into the toilet. Prays to some Shiva god, and claims it to be an offering! now I have seen people pray to their gods or idols, and even leave fruits in the temple... but NEVER had I observed food being flushed down the toilet!

We moved in together last fall, and now the "offerings" are getting ever more elaborate, to the point where he insists that I cook for hours every day only to flush it! Now he's asked for my hand in marriage, and I am willing, in all other areas he is perfect. But I can't handle all this flushing of food! Not to mention the plumbin

strike you as some kind of double standard, and do really think God has a double standard among mankind or would His Law be universal? Isn't there something wrong with this?

Corrie Ten Boom?
http://www.heroesofhistory.com/page59.html

She struggled with her faith in her "flesh and in her feelings" but she remained firm in her faith. She was delivered from death and she has an amazing testimony. Maybe Mother Theresa would have struggled less if she was free to just trust God and not have to concern herself with the churches wishes all the time? Just a thought. Please check out Corrie Ten Boom's testimony if you really want to know some truth about God and his heroes.

There are a few differing beliefs about the fallen Angels in Genesis, and the Nephilim, and giants, etc. How do you feel about the corruption of the line of Christ, and those people in the seedline of Cain, following Satan, and trying to get rid of Christ's seedline?

Jesus said "Except ye eat my flesh."

When church folks say their sins are washed by the blood of Jesus, why do they omit mention of his flesh?

And how does his flesh cleanse their sins?
