Dog eating is prohibited in the US because we do not have a tradition of eating dogs. Pigs are more intelligent than dogs but since we have always eat pigs, does it make it right? In some countries pigs are worshipped or used as pets. Should we slaughter an animall because of its appearance? Slavery used to be US tradition but it changed. We consider other dog eating country barbaric, but what about our poor pigs?

Isn't the assumption of Mary likened to their own idea of a "rapture"? The first, the greatest of all Saints, the Mother of God, why wouldn't He take her?

You claim that God & religion were simply created by humans, for humans. Well,,,, isn't Darwin's theory also man made, for man in order to disavow the need for any divinity?
Is there not more proof of Intelligent design than for random creation and evolution?

"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates.

For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

The Bible says that the signs of the Second Coming will be:

False messiahs
Wars and rumours of wars
Nations rising against each other
Famine
Disease
Earthquakes

Correct me if I'm wrong, but all of those things have existed continuously from Jesus' death until now. Why do you think that (for example) the threat of war against Iran may signify the end of the world, but the Russo-Japanese war of 1905 didn't?

What's changed? Why now?

optional Q: How do you think Jesus felt when His friends fled and left Him alone when He was arrested. Is there a spiritual portrait there?

How can the bible say this:
(Heb 2:18) Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

(Heb 4:15) For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin.

Yet there is no record of him ever been tempted by sex as though he was not fully human. How can this be believed then that he understands sex as he said:
"Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart"

Giving us impossible tasks to fulfill like a man going his whole life without ever having a lustful thought.

Are you saying that if there was no god or bible you'd go around stealing and killing people without feeling guilty? If you need a book to tell you right from wrong then you need to be locked up somewhere with padded walls.

They got married yesterday, and as her seperated cross- cultured twin sister, I'm in charge of the reception. So what are you bringing to the reception?


Please don't answer if you're not bringing anything, would you do that at a real wedding? It's rude to stay for the free food.

Every once in a while I need to throw a few facts into the mix to thin out the all misinformation that clogs up Y/A.

Several times I have read people's posts which basically say: Christians follow Jesus and Catholics follow the pope. This is so outlandishly stupid that I'm tempted to not address it. But, I will.
Let me put it simply: Christians, if you could somehow go back in a time machine and meet the apostle Peter, how would you react? Would you listen to him? Would you respect the fact that he was given his apostleship by Christ himself? Can you deny that you would be at least a little excited to met this Simon Bar Jonah who Jesus renamed Peter?
Well, that's how we feel about the pope. We believe he is Peter's successor. (Here is a list: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12272b.htm )
Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, the Son of the Living God. The pope is a man. But, the pope occupies an office we feel was established by Christ himself (Matt: 16: 17-19) and we respect that

If you need more information read The 12 Planet by: Zecharia Sitchin and the other Earth Chronicles (10)) as of today. The tablets were discovered in the late 1800 and date back further than the flood. Over 100,000 have been interpreted the last time I checked. Was he a god or a demi god, there were so many. The Bible speaks of other gods,one called Baal, considered the moon god, and why does the muslim flag have the cresent moon on it. They call their God Allah, could this be traced back to one of the gods mentioned in the Bible? Why were there so many gods fighting each other to prove that they were the MOST HIGH GOD ? Sounds like some ego problems to me. Many declared to be The most high god, who won this war of the gods?

And, where in the Bible can I find how Noah managed to gather polar bears, baboons and koalas?

What did the lions, cheetahs and hyenas eat while on the Ark? Did they eat the antelope couple?

Please give me a well informed answer, don't use your typical "God did it" fallback answer.

Thanks in advance.

I know you have to be 21 in Arizona to drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes, and these items are less harmful than the opiate of the masses. What do you think?

For example Christians will say Jesus was god & the son of god. They say that a person can be a brother, husband at the same time. But that is way off from being your own dad. It's like me saying I am a man but also the father of myself.

Being crucified brought one into total subjection.The feet and hands were nail to the cross.Are you crucified with Christ?Is Christ the one who lives within you? and if He lives in you?what is He doing?

Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
