be honest if it's possible.

First, if you can't or won't answer a *hypothetical* question, then this question isn't for you :)

If someone were to find and authenticate a lost book of the Bible in which God or Jesus states that Texas belongs to the Israelites, would you defend their right to take over Texas?

Since so many people believe in the Trinity, can someone supply me the scripture that shows us where Jesus and his disciples teached this VERY important issue????? For that matter, Can someone find any scripture that mentions “Trinity”?
Can someone find any scripture that says that God is made up of three distinct persons, Father, Son, and holy spirit, but that the three are only one God? Can someone find any scripture that says that the Father, Son, and holy spirit are equal in ALL ways, such as in eternity, power, position, and wisdom?

... or it just "is," and we're supposed to accept that as an answer?

Most say they know it had a beginning (the big bang left the Background Microwave Radiation) and they know it will have an end (either through heat-death or big crunch), but the fact of it's existence is just to be accepted as an unsolvable mystery.

Hmmm....ancient, just is, unsolvable mystery....remind you of anyone?

Do you find it discouraging on R&S when so many people respond to our questions or answers with hate??Does it kinda sadden you that some Christians have misrepresented our faith?? To the point where atheist,catholics,etc think that we hate them.?? God is not about hate.

in evolution you dont believe, automaticly are a god hater or a bad person?

why do so many christians take the bible as the truth ?

i know alot of jews that think the old testament is the way ancient, less advanced ppl explained things they didnt understand . to me thats a reasonable use for the bible .

ill make an example , say i lived back then, if my son died i must of made god mad at me
or my house burnt down i made god mad.

when now we know, if my son died he was sick or had a birth defect that caused him to die

my house burnt down because the stove was left on or lighting hit it and it wasnt grounded

to me thats a way i think more ppl should look at the bible

Granted I haven't been looking at answers for very long; however, it seems like the "thumbs down" responses are a lot more frequent on answers related to Christianity. Even those answers that are fairly "neutral".

Do you think that it's just a function of peoples' passion as it relates to religion or that there is a greater tendency to judge others/find other peoples' beliefs "wrong" amongst those that describe themselves as Christian.

How many Christian men were told this when growning up?
That masturbation is selfish, sinful, and other things to make boys feel guilty for something they can't help.

Does L Ron Hubbard make more sense than any other writer in the past 4000 years? Jesus and Mohammed were the prophets to God, but since they have been gone for so long it is hard to prove they weren't fanatics. L Ron was here just a few years ago and he was available to query without going to a church and his answers came, not in the form of a burning bush, but in dialog. I just wonder if it is easier to have faith in something when it is physically available.

listen...i need help with a name for the praise band for my youth group. I am the bass player. The youth pastor told us to get a few names so we can vote on them and decide on a youth group band name.

here's a few things about our band:

We have 4 (sometimes 5) people playing.
Our church is a southern baptist church.
the youth group is called 1-8-t (or 180) we called it that because we are making the complete turn-around towards God
we play every sunday night
we have 1 lead guitarist (who is also the youth pastor and lead singer), i bass player (me), a backup singer, and a drummer.
the fifth person is also a guitarist.

so after all those things about my church's youth band i need you to give me some ideas on band names,

not " the 1-8-t youth band" please or anything so "original" (by the way that was sarcasm

I admit, I haven't studied evolution in depth. But I thought I had a pretty good understanding of it. Until the other day someone on this board said I didn't understand evolution because of a statement I made. The statement was something to the fact of for the theory of evolution to work, animals that eat plants would of had to evolved first before animals that eat other animals. This is the way I think of it, plants would have to evolve first, then plant eating animals, then meat eating animals. I know it is not that simple, but wouldn't that be the basic idea? And I am talking about macro-evolution, not micro.

Is my thinking flawed? If it is, can someone please shed some light on what I am missing?

I posted this on the biology section too, but I know a lot of Evolutionist are on R&S and this is actually where I was "corrected".

How can you argue scripture?

Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Luk 1:47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
Luk 1:48 For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;
For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
Luk 1:49 For He who is mighty has done great things for me,
And holy is His name.
Luk 1:50 And His mercy is on those who fear Him
From generation to generation.

Notice her pointing out Mercy. Mercy is not getting the things we deserve.

Grace is getting things that we don't deserve. If she was perfect, she deserved it.



He was even going to pierce his own Mother's soul:

Luk 2:34 Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, "Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against
Luk 2:35 (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."
