How do you know the bible we have now is what was written 2000 years ago? And if it was, how do you know it wasn't written (or maybe influenced) by bad people who just wanned to tell lies?

I asked this before, and someone told me "the bible is the word of god, cause god would not lie". I am seriously hoping for no circular logic this time, and hope you understand what I ask

This is not a way that I try to prove you wrong so please don't take offense, I just want to understand you

What a jerk. He said my answer was best but he picked the other girl because she asked him to choose her. I'm feeling a little guilty because I'm a Christian. But I did tell the truth.

Mine isn't a very happy one. We lived on a major highway in our town, we were sitting around the table befoe our meal when we heard the screeching tires, screams and busting glass, we (3 generations of our family) went running out side and so did the neighbor's there were 6 people in one car all family who all died. One of the neighbors who came running to the accident site was the only remaining child a boy of around 8-10 years of age. He had stayed home with his Aunt because their was no more room in the car( they sat 6 or more back then) They had gone to pick up Grandma & Grandpa. This poor child had lost his whole family! He was of course taken in by the Aunt that he was with when they all died.
Over the years there had been many accidents right there but none as tragic as that Thanksgiving 1965. My family could not eat our meal but we all went back into our house and knelt down on our knees and prayed for that family and that boy. We would check with him from time to time.

I have had it with my church. I feel like I should be eating popcorn and sitting in a theater chair. I go to a Baptist church, and our music minister even said something about it being entertainment. What happened to worship? Don't get me wrong, I love comtemporary Christian music, but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! My kids don't even know many traditional hymns. In children's church, the music is so loud I know it's going to damage their hearing - ask me how I know. HUH? (too much loud music over the years for me, too). We are going to try a new church this morning that has a traditional morning and a little more contemporary in the evening.
I won't even start on the watered-down preaching.

Any others agree with me? Are ya sick of entertainment/

Why does Easter sunday keep changing?

Why does Chrsits day of ressurection depend upon the new moon?

In fact not just any new moon, but why is it always held on the first sunday, after the first full moon after spring solstice

if this really a jig to make us celebrate spring solstice?
but after a union of sun-day and the moon?

Why is Christs ressurection named after a persian god ishtar

Ishtar was the goddess of fertility

Whose fertility was represented with Rabbits

and whose reincarnation was represented by eggs

so why do we eat bunnies and chocolate eggs at easter, or maybe i have naswered my own question?

Why do we congregate around av giant egyptian monolith at Easter in St peters Basilica

The same monoliths are used by the egyptians to worship isis and horus, who are false gods

infact the same monolith was taken by poper pius when he was in egytp and brouigh t back to rome in 6AD.

Why does the pope speak in 153 languages at easter?

The appendix is a 'vestigial organ' - a left over bit that no longer serves its original purpose, that evolution is in the process of removing. When it was larger and fully developed (when we were something between monkeys and humans) it allowed us to digest cellulose (in grass and leaves).

But now it serves no purpose (besides getting inflamed and rupturing, which incidentally would have killed you before modern medicine came along).

The appendix has been found to contain infection fighting 'lymphoid cells' which seems to be the organs only function. Though that is a completely different a much more minor function than as we see it in all other animals with an appendix.

The human appendix is not used for the function in which it was developed. Which, by definition, makes it vestigial.

Hi guys, some of you may be aware of the New world order, if not reach into your pockets and see the reverse side of the dollar bill

novo ordo seclorum

It's a world in which was prophesized by daniel, and by John in the book of Revelations

Every person will be given a choice to accept the Mark fo the beast or die

that is to say, thast choice is to become a Luciferian and deny Christ as saviour, after all thats what the devil wanted all along a world in which only he is worshipped. He almost did it during the flood, so god had to wipe out the only person that did not worship him and start again.

Your bible made in the 1950's is the New World Translation

Note the similarity, New World Order, and New World Translation

Newo worlds order will make you Deny Christ, or face the chop, kinda similar to thast other religeon

The New World Translation has every aspect of Christ as a deity removed, in comparison to other bibles

The Christian church preaches that the only way to God is through Christ, yet Ghandi, who was a Hindu, lived a good, honest, selfless life and was an inspiration to us all. I know of no Christian who lived a more "Christian" life than Ghandi. Surely he, above all of us would have gone to Heaven.

Does the Christian church believe that he went to Hell because he didn't accept that Jesus was the son of God?

I am speaking of the spirit of anti- Christ...

Christ means " anointing " . Like what you receive when you're empowered to spread the Gospel.

Is it based on size? If so, how big? Based on belief? If so, is yours the only religion and all others are cults?
