Adam is the the first human being God created before Eve, And Adam communicated with God, in fact Adam, named all kinds of animals that God created ...see Genesis in the BIBLE.Genesis 2:19. The second fact is that Adam also called Eve as "woman" before God named this woman as "Eve" .But review the word of God again in Genesis 1:26 up to Genesis 2 then,make a recall on some facts to the story in the Tower of Babel.

their born again believers and their love for me is conditional and i cant wait and hold my breath anymore. And realizing this has helped me push for a deeper relationship with GOD because i know that gods love isn't conditional. This has to be against GOD .... i mean for one they are my parents...they gave me life and well that alone is enough for me to realize something is not right on their end. Im ready to lean on god for the voids in my heart.

If you had to rewrite the bible to encompass all religions into one main religion what would you keep from each religion christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Wicca,

Athiests, I know, you'd put it was all crap and I respect that but think about this question as the Nicean counsil had to.

Please, no answers like "nothing the bible is the truth as it is" That will not answer the question and will only be a waste of space and time.

Growing up i was catholic, i believed in god and in Jesus. Back then i thought that id never become what I'm today, I started to lose my faith a few months ago, i used to beg to go to church every Sunday but i seem to try to avoid it now. My family forces me but i push away. I seem to hate talking about God now, and i truly believe he does not exist, but now i have been feeling lost. Ive been looking for inspiration, I feel as if i want to believe again but in my mind i cant tell myself to believe in lies. Help!

What are the Christian Churchs' views on it?

Say, a Jewish man doesn't want to convert but the Christian girl wanted to marry in a Christian church. The Jewish man isn't very religious (At least not like the Christain; he even celebrates Christmas and his father is Catholic.) and he doesn't mind getting married in a Christian church. He doesn't want to convert because it's his mom's religion (even though she's not strict with it either but still, it's understandable.)

But...what would the Christian church say?

or being burnt to death as a human sacrifice like Jephtha's daughter?

Myself, it's so hard to say.
On the one hand being burnt to death is relatively quick when you compare it to being hung on a cross for several hours until your body finally fails you.
But on the other hand, you better believe that fire would hurt you much worse. I mean, have you ever had a small burn before? Just from being burnt by a cigarette produces an extraordinary amount of pain. Can you even imagine what pain is felt as an entire fire consumes your whole body while your alive? And it takes you a minute or two to die?
I Just don't know which I would pick.
All I know is that if someone i know ever makes an ill-conceived pledge to god to offer up a random person as a burnt sacrifice in return for personal success, i hope that god would spare me such a horrible, incomprehensibly painful death despite the ignorance of that person.

Why do Christians feel that they need to convert everyone? Is there a points system to get a better seat in heaven or something? I will defend everyone's right to believe anything that doesn't hurt anyone else, regardless if my beliefs are the same. What is wrong with live and let live?

When I ask about prohibition of eating pigs Christians say "Its in the Old Testament and we dont follow the old Testament". But when I go the Bible seach sites, There is no categorization of Old and New Testament. I am confused.

If a person does not believe in God, why do they feel the need to convice others that there is no God. At least believers are trying to spread hope to others by shareing faith. What are non belivers trying to do?

I was just wondering...I am not an atheist but I have always wondered what it was that you all believe in... I understand that you don't believe in God and all the other things that go along with certain religions...I am a Catholic and have always believed in God because it was how I was raised... I just want to know why and how someone can come to the conclusion that there is no God???? I am an open minded person and I think that people are entitled to believe whatever they want...but i just want to know what made you become an Atheist ... Something i want to know is what your beliefs are? For example, when you die do you just think thats it... you just die and nothing happens you don't go to heaven???

This is an admittedly rare HONEST question (not loaded) from a Christian trying to understand. When you first started doubting (if you ever believed to begin with), what made you first start doubting, something you saw as injustice or something similar, or was it some scientific fact that made you doubt?

Tell me you can look at a gorgeous lady and just notice her shoes...(I am talking about single men here...I know women can notice other women's shoes). I really think if Jesus were alive today he would turn his head more than a few times walking in the mall.

Like for example is doing Gods will come naturally when your a believer.... Or at times is it hard to do what he wants? Is it most of the time something you were able to do or was it something really hard to deal with? I guess there is a part of me that is worried that when praying and asking for Gods will be done not mine i guess im scared it will be something really difficult. I know alot of you are going to say YES it is hard....but come on be nice.. my faith is just barely growing.

for unifying people in love and at the same time if its emotions are uncontolled can, quite often, have the potential to cause grave injustice to others and to society? In our fundamental options we have a situation where our sexulity is on tap where as our sense of true love and justice needs to be worked for. What are your perspectives?

Because most christians go to other parts of the world to spared the word and i understand that other parts of the world dont have opportunity's like we do. But i personally believe that you can be just as effective in spearing the world in your own city or town. I love the city and im praying that god opens the doors for me to move to the city. I love the fast pace, i love how beautiful the stores are....something about the city i LOVE and i feel like its possible to minister to people in the city too. In fact a leader at a bible studies i went to a couple weeks ago said the city is a good place to do mission work because alot of Christians dont feel safe starting families in the city. So i would like to hear what you all think.

How would you know if you never tried. How about quit listening to what peaple say about God and find out about him on you own?Or do you simply just don't want to know.If you put your doubt away for a little bit and opened your mind to God I promise he will show himself to you.
