It's definitely not in the early part of the Bible. Hezekiah in Isaiah 38, 18-19 says the dead just 'go down into the pit'.
But by the time of Daniel 12, the idea had appeared.
When and why did the change take place?

If God created the universe, what was there before the creation?
I had this discussion with some friends but, as we are not religeous, do not know the religeous viewpoint. If there was another universe, did God wipe the slate clean and start again? Do you think God could decide to do the same with this universe? As with all evolutionist vs creationist questions I expect a few loony answers but as long as they're not pious, religeous rants or scientific belittling of those who have faith then thats fine.

why do you need to pray, since he knows, allegedly, what you're going to ask for anyway.

and when two people ask god for opposing things who gets their prayer answered.

is the reason the Bible or the people reading it?

Many stories found in the Bible are found in Ethnic (not islamic, christian, Judaic) Religions and Cultures

eg The Flood, walking on water, resurrection and others


If lots of cultures keep on repeating the same stories; does that make their meaning less true?

No, the converse is true! It is stories that resonate through time , that have profound meanings which endure.

In fact, they are more likely to induce the thinking man to believe in the bible stories as containing important truths.

These facts that people find so confounding to belief, are taught in nearly every course on Biblical Theology!

Scientists have proven that Eve did not come from Adam's rib. In fact woman was created first. God made man out of woman's thumb.

Its true, 'We've been their ever since'.

I don't want to do it for any reason that's based on sexuality or a sense of uniqueness, I just like the way it looks. Just a lower-lip piercing intrigues me. However, I go to church and I'm in the worship band (keyboardist) and help teach classes and such. I want one but I'm unsure of what my fellow christians would say. What would God say? I don't want to be kicked out of church or something. haha. sarcasm on the last line. hehe.

Why not just say, "Hey we're married, we love each other so we are married". Leave God and the state and everyone else out of it, because it's just between the two of them. Why do gays need appovel from anyone else, just do it. Wouldn't that save a lot trouble.

Do people change what they say? Frequently, if not daily.

Do people change what they do? Occasionally, if they're made to.

But do people change what they are?

What does your life experience tell you?

Do you support or condemn this verse?

Leviticus 20:13 "And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

No Christian would say it is okay to kill gay people now, but did it use to be okay to do it?

This is supposedly a direct quote from God.

If you read the first verse of Chapter 20, it says that the Lord spoke unto Moses and it proceeds to lay out certain guidelines. If you read every single verse up to 13, you can see that every verse up to this was supposed to have come directly from God.

Did God change his standards after Jesus? I am curious to hear what your thoughts are. I am not trying to be rude. I believe that questioning your beliefs is a healthy thing and I wanted to hear your thoughts.

Thank you for your answers.
