since carbon dating says that fossils can date back millions upon millions of years and this contridicts the holy bible, did satan tamper with the fossils?

I mean, in reality all you have is the speculation written down in an ancient set of books written by people who had no way to prove what they were writing, and still have no way of proving today. If you can't prove it, there's no way to know that you aren't being misled.

When you talk about faith being the reason you know something is true, you are really just saying that you can't prove it, but you hope it is true. This is dangerous thinking, because if your well being is dependent on it, you really should have some proof that what you place your faith in is true. I know some of you like to think that your particular holy book contains the truth, but it really doesn't.

Think of it this way, would you allow someone to operate on your insides, knowing that the book they're using is two-thousand years old and does not contain any information that has been proven to be true? What if their patients died soon after, almost every time, because "it was just their time to go"?

(False) Prophet, fisherman (for people / souls), roman legionnaire (like his father), baker (because it is said 'lord, give us our daily bread')... The man must've come by money one way or another, or did he raid lots of temples "ousting merchants" (and keep the loot for himself) ?

I am not trying to preach here, I am always amazed as I read the commentaries each day in my devotion how clearly some things are stated and how often they answer questions on here like " do you believe in sin and what is it ?"
Ephesians 5:15-21 Message version biblegateway.com
There are many ways of abetting, or taking part in the sins of others; by commendation, counsel, consent, or concealment. And if we share with others in their sins, we must expect to share in their plagues.

I have heard some Christians say that they believe in evolution, but they make an exception for humans. They believe that the Judeo-Christian God created people in their current form.

What our your beliefs?

i am sincerely asking this question with no offense please. i find it difficult to have a religious debate with catholic people. most cant back up reasons they believe certain things that aren't bible based. i find some catholics i've talked with quite closed minded about even discussing things saying "thats just the way it is" and end the conversation. my question is: when you are young in catholic church classes, do they scare you in some sort of way as to think there is no salvation outside of that church no matter what you do?

Do the jewish believe that without BLOOD you cannot have forgiveness?

A christian answered that Jesus came and his blood forgave us, we can be forgiven only trough blood?

WHYYYY??????? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DESTROY A LIFE TO BE FORGIVEN? WHY IS BLOOD NECESSARY?
WHY CAN'T GOD FORGIVE FOR THE SAKE OF IT, BUT HAD TO SEND HIS SON TO BE KILLED ,MURDERED AND HIS SPECTACLE OF BLOOD WAS USED FOR FORGIVENSS?

I'm only human, flesh and blood...
