I though full tithe-payers were exempt from such incidents.

Please correct my misconception, with simple logic.

I cannot believe the stupidity of some people. I frequently go onto the News & Media section on this site. Yesterday my eyes nearly popped out of my head.

I saw that Theo the Wise One had engaged in a seance with other people. He says they were contacted by Madeleine McCann, and when asked who killed her, MUMMYDADDY was spelt out!

This was yesterday and I have only just had the time to answr his question. Of course I warned him against such practices.

If any other believers are reading this, are you able to offer prayers against it and any harm to him?

God bless!

With the way religion and the churches are changing doctrine in what is good or bad, also the commitment to back a political candidate with oppossing views to what is right, with the scripture above ,does God change with the flow of our world? Or our thoughts?

these are just a few verses to mention

Book of genesis(1:9-13) says that the earth was created on the 3rd day.

without the earth created, how can you have a day or night because it depends on the earth's rotation.
..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Book of Hebrews(1: 10-11) says that God created the heavens and the earth and that they will perish.

Book of Ecclesiastes(1:4) says that the earth will abide forever

Either one has to be wrong because both cannot take place. the earth has to perish or it has to abide forever

@ Christian If the catholic bible has truly added books.....do you think that there are questionable facts and teaching in them?

@Catholic If the Christian bible has removed books.....why do you think it was removed?

Ok, so we can say that tho these people label themselves as Christians, claim to follow the Bible the best possible way and yet they do such horrible things(lets just throw those good Christians that bomb abortion clinics in there too) Are not a good example of a "real" Christian right? So others shouldn't base their beliefs about Christians based on the acts of a few, Correct?
So then, why do you have to do that to us, the Muslims that have actually added to society instead of taking away from it, the ones of us that don't make the news because we don't kill. Islam ISN'T about being a suicide bomber........ those people are sick in their heads to begin with, and as said about the WBC people, do it under the cloak of Islam, giving it a bad name.

Isaiah 40:22: It is he that sitteth upon the CIRCLE of the Earth.

Isaiah 11:12: And he shall... gather together the dispersed of Judah from the FOUR CORNERS of the earth.

[emphasis mine in both quotes]

Since the Bible is the inerrant word of God, Earth is a circle and has four corners. Does that make it a round square? Why would God have us live on a contradiction?

Hitler's actual beliefs and policies are relevant to answering this question, not his propaganda.

How can you trust any of Christianity's scholars when they cant even agree on a standard interpretation of the Bible?

i.e. their disagreements have lead to the different denominations to the extent that they call each other different religions, when they were all the same religion once upon a time.

In response to say_no_2_religion's idea, I thought I would do a compare and contrast between the postitions of Christians and Atheists on the subject Buddhists and Buddhism. So without further ado...

How do Christians feel towards Buddhists?

or is it rationalization?

Here's an example:
When I recently asked for an example of something that the Bible says that the most knowledgable people of the day couldn't have possibly known? An answer I received was Isaiah 40:22 "The earth is round".

First of all, it's a mistranslation. What it actually says is "The earth is a circle". A "circle" is a flat circular thing, like a plate, not like a ball. If the Bible really meant the latter, it could have easily said "The earth is like an orange" to avoid the ambiguity.

Second of all, I have been informed that a more accurate interpretation of the word "circle" is the comparison of the sky to a snow globe, not the shape of the earth itself.

And finally, anyone that has been in a ship at sea or in the desert knows that the horizon (which appears to be equally distant in all directions) makes the shape of the earth seem circular.

So Isaiah 40:22 is hardly prophetic.
