1) Matthew 1:23 says that Jesus (the messiah) would be called Immanuel, which means "God with us." Yet no one, not even his parents, call him Immanuel at any point in the bible.

2) The Messiah must be a physical descendant of David (Romans 1:3 & Acts 2:30). Yet, how could Jesus meet this requirement since his genealogies in Matthew 1 and Luke 3 show he descended from David through Joseph, who was not his natural father because of the Virgin Birth. Hence, this prophecy could not have been fulfilled.

3) Isaiah 7:16 seems to say that before Jesus had reached the age of maturity, both of the Jewish countries would be destroyed. Yet there is no mention of this prophecy being fulfilled in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus, hence this is another Messiah prophecy not fulfilled.

Yes, I'm all braced for the "you follow Satan and not Jesus" answers, along with the "you follow imaginary beings" answers.

I just hope someone actually answers this the way I want it to be answered. x_x;

I was reading a "Top 10 Reasons to be Atheist" post on the internet, and it was totally silly & ridiculous. A Christian got hiffy about it and wrote:

"there is no DNA that can make you smarter, so if we evolved from apes we shouldnt be smarter than they are- evolution cant produce that. Now, who believe in fairy tales?"

Preach, Preaching:

Proclaim:

Answer:
an’-ser: In our English Bible the word "answer" does not always mean a simple reply to a question.

1. In the Old Testament:

Six different words are translated by answer.

(1) It is frequently used where no question has been asked and in such cases it means a word, a statement.

(2) It also means a response (Job 21:34; 34:36).

(3) It often means a declaration or proclamation from God where no question has been asked. See the many passages that read: "The Lord answered and said."

(4) The other words translated "answer" or "answered" in the Old Testament are unimportant shadings and variations.

2. In the New Testament:

The words translated "answer" are not so varied.

(1) It sometimes means an apology, a defense (1Pe 3:15; Ac

Why is it that preachers have to go through some sort of school to be preachers or pastors? If they are a man of God they shouldnt need a schooling!!!! And why is that Pastors and Christians always speak of prosperity instead of living right

A born again Christians told me that saying a Hail Mary is a sin, because it means you are praying to Mary when you can only pray to God, because it makes Mary a mediator between man and God when Jesus is our only mediatory, because it calls Mary the "Mother of God" which is blasphemy, and because it calls Mary "full of grace" when only God is full of grace. How much of this is true?

2)he killed countless innocent animals and even people in a flood
3)he sends you to hell for not believing in him even though he hasnt given you any proof
4)he lied to two people saying they could eat from any tree except one(knowledge), but kicked them out because he didnt want them to eat from another tree(immortality)
5)he sends gays to hell even though he made them gay as he did "create everybody" or he "made everything"
6)he wanted to handicap two people(to not know the difference between right and wrong)
7)he knocked up a woman who already had a boyfriend
8)abandoned his own son when he needed him the most(Jesus did say "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me")
9)he sends people of other religions to hell(even though there's no way of knowing which god is the right one)
10)is against people touching themselves sexually(even though they dont hurt anybody)

Look at Benoit.
What about Guerra.
Every single wrestler who has died was a Christian.
Facts do not lie.
We have an epidemic in our country of Christianity killing our wrestlers.
Please do not say Christianity had nothing to do with it when Benoit placed bibles beside his family.
How many atheist wrestlers have died?
nada, zilch, ZERO!
I prove my point.
I am just so amazing that I amaze myself.

Imagine that you have a person who is always good. Always makes decisions in the interest of "good". Does he have freewill? Is someone who is morally perfect more than a benevolent robot? Obviously this pertains to Jesus but it is a broader wuestion than just him. Could Jesus have sinned if he wanted to? If not then did he have freewill? If so then he DID have the capacity for evil.

Today a born again Christians said a lot of things I did not know how to respond to. He showed that Catholic Bibles have more books than the Bible used by born agains. He said the extra books were added by the Catholic Church and Constantine and are from a secret book called the Apocrypha? Any help?

I am a Roman Catholic. Today I had a long discussion with a born again Christian and he said a lot of things I could not respond to. He showed me Matthew 23:9 which says don't call any man Father. Yet we Catholics call our priests Father. How do I respond to this?

These days, I walk around school and talk to friends, and it seems like a lot of them have had sex. I've got a few Catholic friends and some of them say they've had sex, too. I even think my sister may have. By the way, I'm Catholic. :P

Since Jesus was the one who brought down the message of christainity, with one true god, if there was somthing as the "trinity" than would he have said somthing about it in his life? or in the bible? u accept the fact that Paul added an innovation in the religion and still accepct? how can u ascribe "partners" with god?

Or if that someone never hears the truth of God?

Faith comes by hearing & hearig a Word about Christ / God.

If one never hears about God, then how can one sense the reality of God?
