If Jesus had come later and was beheaded via guillotine, would Christians have those hanging on the wall or over doors or on alters in churches? What if he was hanged? Would they be wearing nooses around their necks? If he was burned at the stake, would they pin matches to their lapels?
Why is the Christian faith usually, not always, symbolized by a death icon when it is the life after he rose that is to be the important part?
It's not that he died that gives humanity hope, it is that he rose from the dead and lived on. Why then are Christians fixated on his death and not his resurrection?
I know someone is going to tell me how it symbolizes his death for our sins... blah blah blah. Anyone can die. It takes more to rise from the dead. That is the miracle.

On their website I found a table of results from 2005

http://www.watchtower.org/statistics/worldwide_report.htm

How many Witnesses for each country, number of hours preached, number of people baptized etc number of people attending memorial

What's the deal? Do they compare each year's Key Performance Indicators with the previous years as a way of measuring their progress? I don't know any other denomination which does this, so I am interested to know what the Jehovah's Witnesses on this Answers! Forum has to say.

Serious answers only please.

I'm probably in DEEP trouble for asking this now but I'm going to anyway.. I'm not angry with God or anything I just need to clarify some stuff.

Regarding the Ten Commandments.. I have seen them, and they are indeed very honourable commands to live by. To live a righteous life in God's eyes you must obey the Ten Commandments.

But there is no mention of anything like raping, torturing or anything along those lines. Two commands about stealing but no command 'thou shalt not torture' or anything like that..

Let me tell you I would much rather someone STOLE something from me than TORTURED me!!

Plus.. according to the Bush admin it is now OK to torture suspects for the purposes of extracting confessions. So is torture even considered a crime by anyone now?!? If it is LEGAL, and there is no mention of it in God's commands, does this mean it is OK??

I don't have enough space to make my point fully but I am so confused.. it doesn't make any sense.. do you see what I mean??

In koran there are examples about birth of ADAM and EVA.
this is ability of god to create a person without father.
if there are any person without father he is son of god.
do you think the god is male and saint marry is god's wife.

it dosn't impossible.
the god create ADAM and Eva with Soil.
therefore , the god with this super ability that create many stars and plantes and a big world with 7 sky , create jesus christ without father is possible like create adam and eva.

you must think.

After all not only are you spilling your seed, but you're having a lustful dream, and probably fornicating in that dream as well.

my father is love and he is wisdom .Without him you dont know love or wisdom. their feeble wordly knowledge is what is gonna do them in at judgement day. on that day they won't be able to flash their degrees, theories or hypothesis. it will be as simple as "depart from me, i never knew you."

The not bridling the tongue, readiness to speak of the faults of others, or to lessen their wisdom and piety, are signs of a vain religion
I've been a Jesus lover all my life and I obey almost all of His commands but the un-bridled tongue of mine , I'm not mean, I just think I should "Judge" as I have a prophet personality, I AM NOT A PROPHET, I just seek justice so much that I find my tongue being unbridled, Does this undo all I do good for Jesus ?

I feel that I did not give a good enough explanation with this question yesterday, so here is a better one.
Also I have had enough arguements with my brother, and I am not having another one on this subject!

I am already aware that a day may be the same as a thousand years to God, as He is not restricted by time. I am not so concerned about the issue of time here.

I was watching the programe and I heard the lad say that he was a Christian. Fine. I am pleased for him. Then I thought I heard him say that he felt/believed that the world was created by some kind of accidental explosion. It came across to me that he felt this beautiful world was created by accident.

In my question, all I wanted was to know if other people also believed that God created this world. And that it wasn't some sort of accident.

Please, can people tell me which way they believe, and I'm not so concerned about the time it took.

Mark 1:41-42

Filled with compassion,
Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man.
"I am willing," he said. "Be clean!"

Immediately
the leprosy left him
and
he was cured.

Prominent creation scientist Em Adjineri has been studying evolution and discovered that evolution scientists think that we came from cavemen. However, it is obvious that cavemen could not have evolved.

If cavemen had evolved from caves, we would expect to see genetic similarities between caves and peoples. After studying cave DNA for several months, Em Adjineri discovered that caves don't have DNA. Therefore, they could not have turned into people.

Also, according to evolution it should be possible for a cave to get hit by a tornado and turn into a caveman. But no cave has ever been hit by a tornado and turned into a caveman, except for once and that time was a fluke.

Therefore evolution is false. The only alternative is the literal truth of the Bible.
