Do you think that John had knowledge of the writings of Matthew, Mark, and Luke and did not need to repeat what they had written, or that he perhaps had no/very little knowledge of them, hence the difference in writing style and content?

God is coming soon to take His church. You are on His side or against Him. Deep down in your heart you want to hear what i am saying. God has written the truth on your heart. Why fight against Him? You know there is a God or you wouldn't fight against this message so much. i can not prove to you there is a God with my words. You have to feel and listen to God for yourself. God will come in to your life and forgive you of everything you have ever done wrong. Jesus was God in the flesh. He lived a perfect life to take your punishement for sin. You have to repent (turn to God and all that you know that is wrong) and believe in what Jesus did for you. Jesus shed his blood on the cross so God can find you not guilt on your day of judgment. Today is the day that God is calling you. Do not waste anymore of your life following everyone else. Surrender you entire life to Jesus today! Just pray what is on your heart to God. Prayer is just talking to God. May God Bless you and show you the truth!

There was a just a question posted about a nativity scene possibly being taken down because it is set up in a city park. Both the mayor and the cities attorney approved of this.

My question is, would the following work in order for the nativity scene to stay up.

By law, cities can lease out there property for public use. For example, a municipal center can rent out the conference rooms to anyone, by law they have to allow religious organizations to also lease these or else they would violate separation of church and state...correct? So in this case, is there any problem with the city leasing out the land that the nativity scene sits on to a local church for the winter months? This seems that it would be working within the law to accomplish what the people of this city want. Of course, they would have to make that same piece of land available for anyone to lease at anytime.

I'm not a lawyer, but does anyone see a problem with this?

Would anyone still have an issue?

Like, I don't think they're mentioned at all in the bible, so.. if they supposedly came before humans, but God created humans practically right after Earth, how do churches explain this? Or do they even?

I'm not anti-Christian or anything, I've wanted to ask like youth group leaders but I didn't want to look stupid.

Where I am from in the UK normally if someone states they're are an Atheist it is really no problem at all and I haven't heard of them being misstreated because of it.

Do you get troubled for being an Atheist in the US?

According to my observation.........every major religion i.e Christianity, Jewism, Hinduism,.................they are all united together against Islam. It seems like they are afraid of Truth of Islam that's why they are creating false image of Islam being religion of terrorists..........which is not the case.

is it just coincidence that most people who don't believe in evolution also don't believe in global warming? I haven't seen statistics on this, it's just my own anecdotal observation. Has anyone else noticed?

The bible teaches that the human race has pain and suffering because God has willed it so. Adam and Eve, being the first humans created disobeyed God by eating fruit from the tree of knowledge. For this, God punished them. But why is the entire human race being punished along with Adam and Eve, the guilty ones? I don't think its fair to pass judgement for a crime on anyone else but the offender. For example, let's you wake up one day, and find out you're on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List because your great-great-grandfather killed a man in a bar fight over a century ago. Wouldn't that confuse you? Wouldn't that OUTRAGE you? You didn't do anything yet you get punished. That my friends, is not justice. So how can punishment of the entire human race for what Adam and Eve did justified? What say you?
