After reading the bible it seems jesus disciples were of sub-normal intelligence and were not really able to understand him...

and also the bible was written well after his death..
then how can it be a proof of his life and death??
and that too there are sooo many translation mistakes...

BERLIN (Reuters) - Bavaria's most glamorous politician -- a flame-haired motorcyclist who helped bring down state premier Edmund Stoiber -- has shocked the Catholic state in Germany by suggesting marriage should last just 7 years.

Gabriele Pauli, who poses on her web site in motorcycle leathers, is standing for the leadership of Bavaria's Christian Social Union (CSU) -- sister party of Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) -- in a vote next week.

She told reporters at the launch of her campaign manifesto on Wednesday she wanted marriage to expire after seven years and accused the CSU, which promotes traditional family values, of nurturing ideals of marriage which are wide of the mark.



"The basic approach is wrong ... many marriages last just because people believe they are safe," she told reporters. "My suggestion is that marriages expire after seven years."



After that time, couples should either agree to extend their marriage or it should be automatically dissolved, she said.



Fifty-year-old Pauli, twice divorced, is a maverick intent on shaking up her male-dominated and mainly Catholic party which has dominated Bavarian politics since World War Two.



"This is about bringing ideas into the CSU and starting a discussion," she told German television on Thursday after she had unleashed a wave of criticism from other politicians.



Former foe Stoiber said she did not belong in the CSU and European lawmaker Ingo Freidrich dismissed her views.



"She is diametrically contradicting our Christian, ethical values," Freidrich said.

Peter Ramsauer, head of the CSU in Germany's parliament, compared Pauli's ideas to "the dirt under your fingernails".

Pauli, who attracted attention earlier this year when she posed for a magazine wearing long black latex gloves, was at the centre of a snooping scandal which eventually led to Stoiber, Bavarian premier for 14 years, saying he would stand down early.



She said his office tried to obtain details about lovers and alcohol consumption to use against her.



The CSU will elect Stoiber's successor as party head at a conference next week. He will be replaced as state premier in early October.

Viewed as a party rebel, Pauli stands almost no chance of winning next week's vote. The contest has been fought mainly between Bavarian state economy minister Erwin Huber and German Consumer Minister Horst Seehofer.

The popularity of Seehofer, a 58-year-old married father of three, has suffered from the disclosure that he had been having an affair with a younger woman who recently had his baby.

1-22 "Remember, God, all we've been through. Study our plight, the black mark we've made in history.
Our precious land has been given to outsiders,
our homes to strangers.
Orphans we are, not a father in sight,
and our mothers no better than widows.
We have to pay to drink our own water.
Even our firewood comes at a price.
We're nothing but slaves, bullied and bowed,
worn out and without any rest.
We sold ourselves to Assyria and Egypt
just to get something to eat.
Our parents sinned and are no more,
and now we're paying for the wrongs they did.
Slaves rule over us;
there's no escape from their grip.
We risk our lives to gather food
in the bandit-infested desert.
Our skin has turned black as an oven,
dried out like old leather from the famine.
Our wives were raped in the streets in Zion,
and our virgins in the cities of Judah.
They hanged our princes by their hands,
dishonored our elders.

In luke 16:19-25. In my studys of this i found a very interesting phrase (there was). Any time in the bible when Jesus said there was he was telling a true story about someone, because if it was not true then he could't say there was or he'd be liying. It's not a parable because in parables he never quoted names, he used points are things to illistrate a point. I'ts funny how just a few words can unlocke things in the bible. What do you think about this it decribes hell. Please dont say how can God send any one to hell, thats not he's will it's a choice we make.

Kind of the same as the other question, but more encompassing. Atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, Muslim, etc. How many of you have not read the bible?

In my observations most atheists and agnostics have read it, but I am also curious about followers of other religions.

And Yes, I have read it. A few different versions. And I am an atheist.

Christians believe that our minds are inherently flawed. After the Fall, our conclusions became untrustworthy. But God cannot communicate with us without the message being interpreted by our flawed minds.

So how can we ever be certain of God's word to us?

Do we necessarily have to rely on our admittedly flawed understanding?

In Lamentations, Jeremiah is lamenting feeling great sorrow 4 his beloved people who behaved like we do when we kids. God told them lovingly: B sure not 2 do this & that, & then they did it & God said " if you don't stop at a red light per se, you will be paralzyed for life perhaps". Can U see that God is so loving & tries so hard 2 get us 2 listen 2 HIs infinite wisdom & we do it our way, eventually we run the red light & then we lament like Jeremiah does in Lamentations in the Bible, & then God loves on us even tho we didn't listen to him
One verse we read like it happened 2000 years ago, but it is happening especially in 3rd world countries now is Jer. 2 mes version: My eyes R blind w- tears, my stomach in a knot.
My insides have turned 2 jelly over my people's fate.
Babies & children R fainting all over the place,
Calling 2 their mothers, "I'm hungry! I'm thirsty!"
then fainting like dying soldiers in the streets,
breathing their last in their mothers' laps

In other words, that a part of us already lives in heaven simulaneously while we, as physical beings, live on earth. Is it possible that, because the relativity of time is in part due to our perception of it, that this coexistance might exist?

Other serious thoughts pertaining to this theory/idea?
