God actually directly chatted with Moses. God sent his angel to talk to Jesus.

NOW I know Christians will say Jesus is god, but then why did Jesus say "Why have u forsaken me?" Was he talking to himself? Was God talking to himself?

Then home come Moses never knew about it, even though he actually chatted to God directly?

Come to think about it, why did no prophet such as David, Adam even know who Jesus was?

They claim to be against any form of abuse. So my question is: Did any one out there who suffered either physical or sexual abuse, ever have your situation turned over to the police?
Did any of you experience a Witness elder bring in the child protective Services or any other governmental authoraty to handle an abuser?

I have attended several Bible classes and we have studied the part in Genesis where Eve is tempted by the serpent and ended up disobeying God. We were told that Adam was actually to blame for this, as he did not step up and stop her from doing this, as surely he must have been there or at least nearby. I also heard this mentioned the other day on a women's panel discussion on TV. But I also heard a priest mention that Adam wasn't there at the time. My question is: How much of all of this is possibly reading "meanings" into Scripture that aren't necessarily there? Does it actually say somewhere somehow that Adam just stood by and watched, and did nothing, and I'm just missing it? I'd like to have some Bible-believing Christians' takes on this, and some really thoughtful and serious answers. I'd prefer that atheists and non-believers not reply - I already know that you consider this stuff to be a lot of hoo-hah - If I have a bona fide question on atheism, I'll ask. Thanks everyone!

When Moses was seeing his vistor, were the events described not more inline with an ET?

he was not allowed to see the full glory of God. Moses only saw the backside of god discribed as a bright and glorious light that seemed to leave Moses with what might have been effects of some type of radiation.
the stone tablets "engraved by the finger of God" sounds like some sort of laser printing.
God was with them as a cloud by day and pilar of fire by night.
(sounds like a cloaked ship)

Do I believe in ETs? No. But if Moses tried to spin his tales today we would discount it as another redneck UFO sighting.
"I wasa Justa stanin thar when I saw this here bush a burnin"

WOW, the stuff people believe in!?

I think an ET sounds a bit more believable than GOD.
Don't you?

Two times in the prophetic book of Revelation, the name Nicolaitans was mentioned, namely, from KJV:
1. To the angel of the church in Ephesus (Rev. 2:6): “But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.”
2. To the angel of the church in Pergamos (Rev. 2:15-16): “So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.”

The church according to the Holy Spirit we talk to is us. So the different churches are the different types of people and their characteristics. Regarding the church in Ephesus, please read Rev. 2:1-7 and the church in Pergamos, Rev. 2:12-17.

Wow. I mean, talk about one of the most maddening things...right up there with nails on a chalkboard...its people who mindlessly paste "NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS" upon any question that dares to take any Islamic doctrines into account.

Personally, I have never ever met anyone who believed "all Muslims are terrorists", nor have a read any claims in here to that effect...yet the uneducated continue to spit out the stupid cliche.

Ever met a person who has all this canned advise that they think is profound, and yet literally every idiot on earth gets the concept? You see em in here all the time, people who think they are sharing something new and brilliant with us "haters". Thats their little simplistic Disney world view of reality...the world is neatly divided into good people and haters, and if you dont share their little worldview, your a hater.

Almost all armed conflict worldwide is Islamic. But, OFCOURSE, that doesnt mean ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS. We clear now?

I have an idea for a line of jeans that look so good that people will stare at your butt, read the label and then exclaim, "Jesus".

This is just my little way of helping to spread the name of Jesus to the masses of unsaved out there.

What do you think?

Christians (and others) often "lift" Scripture passages "out-of-context" to support their beliefs. This is called "proof-texting." When read in context (reading before and after the "pulled" passage), the true meaning is usually discerned, resulting in what is often considered to be the orthodox meaning.

Is there an overall context of the Scripture which can help us determine more accurately what particular passages mean?

I'm NOT a market researcher or a "creepy internet guy", by the way. Just figured I'd like to ask a relatively light-hearted question and get to know a little bit about the people behind the avatars.

Why, if the American Indians were descended from Lehi, was there such diversity in their languages, and why were there no vestiges of Hebrew in any of them?
Why does the Book of Mormon say that Lehi found horses when he arrived in America? The horse did not exist in the Americas until the Spaniards brought them over in the sixteenth century.
Why was Nephi stated to have a bow of steel? Jews did not have steel at that time, and no iron was smelted in the Americas until the Spanish colonization.
Why does the Book of Mormon mention “swords and cimeters” when scimitars (the current spelling) did not come about until the rise of Islam after 500 A.D.?
Why does the Book of Mormon mention silk, when silk did not exist in the Americas at that time?
