I can't believe how negative people get about answers given to questions on religion. It's actually worse than the politics section. Seeing how fast people get upset and angry in regards to religion, is that why more wars are started over religion than politics?

Re 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Lucifer is a Latin word meaning "light-bearer" (from lux, lucis, "light", and ferre, "to bear, bring"), a Roman astrological term for the "Morning Star" the planet Venus.[1] The word Lucifer was the translation of the Septuagint Greek heosphoros, ("dawn-bearer"; cf. Greek phosphoros, "light-bearer"; itself the translation of the Hebrew Helel ben Shahar[2], Son of Dawn), used by Jerome in the Vulgate, having mythologically the same meaning as Prometheus who brought fire to humanity.


If Jesus was actually Lucifer, and all teachings were a deception as they claim Lucifer is? Then wouldn't the teaching of Jesus be one of the biggest plots of deception ever? This is directly removed from the King James Version of the Bible, yes I have read the bible, but I choose not to take everything at face value. Like some idiots!

As there is about 1.8 million named species of animal,and likely to be about 10 million in reality with the vast percentage being microscopic organisms that nevertheless would have been destroyed by a global flood,did Noah have a microscope to make sure he was sexing them correctly and pairing up accordingly?

when met with the response "No Thanks, I am not interested" when they attempt to preach?

Are they unable to accept that not everyone will believe their book simply because they believe it or is it something else?

I know that they can sign petitions, join a pro-life or pro-choice group, start an organisation themselves but what else can they do? Has anyone got any ideas?

i mean, what makes one "God" different from another? don't you think that if one person prays for something to the Christian "God" and another person prays to a Greek "God" and they both got what they wanted, that there could possibly be more than one "God"?....OR that there's no "God" and the person's own will and wishful thinking did something? Another thing, if "God" wanted us to bow down and pray at exactly noon every day, don't you think that we would fall to our knees every day at noon? or if we needed to confess our sins, that we would just blurt them out without a conscious effort?

When we fall asleep, our souls leave our body and we mysteriously appear in another world or revisit places we been.
Correct me if i'm wrong. I just to need to find out the real truth and the meaning of dreams.

Who Created the Universe From Nothing?

With this triumph of the Big Bang, the thesis of an "infinite universe", which forms the basis of materialist dogma, was tossed onto the scrap-heap of history. But for materialists it also raised a couple of inconvenient questions: What existed before the Big Bang? And what force could have caused the great explosion that resulted in a universe that did not exist before?

Materialists like Arthur Eddington recognized that the answers to these questions could point to the existence of a supreme creator and that they did not like. The atheist philosopher Anthony Flew commented on this point:

Notoriously, confession is good for the soul. I will therefore begin by confessing that the Stratonician atheist has to be embarrassed by the contemporary cosmological consensus. For it seems that the cosmologists are providing a scientific proof of what St. Thomas contended could not be proved philosophically; namely, that the universe had a beginning.

Why does the christian god, tell us to be like him, and not to treat others like how we want to be treated and that Christ is our example but yet..he himself is so deadly
Bible is an extremely bloodthirsty book. It specifies, over and over, whole categories of people who should be killed (including children who curse their parents ... Exodus 21:17).
Are you aware that Jesus threatened to murder children (Revelation 2:23)?
II Samuel 12:15-20 tells the story of God killing an infant because it was the product of its parents' adultery.
Are you aware that your God has threatened (four different times, in four different books of the Bible!) to make people cannibalize their own children as a form of punishment? See:
(1) Leviticus 26:29; (2) Deuteronomy 28:53;(3) Jeremiah 19:9;(4) Ezekiel 5:10.
So is Jesus our God still our example or are we only supposed to do as he says ? cause it says to be like him many times in the NT, and why is he more kill happy in the OT then the NT, MPD ?

Christians and Muslims? I mean considering most of us know what it was like to be uneducated and ignorant at one time(If we were ever theist to begin with) Should we just bear with them until they decided to educate themselves? Also do you think making fun of their ignorance causes them to be more or less likely to want to research? Does it force them deeper and deeper into their boxes?

I find it especially funny when Catholics say this...

Catholics should look into the financial arrangements between the Vatican and Hitler.

Do you think they both could stem from the same mind disorder? I mean obviously not all Theist's are pedophiles, just like not all Muslims are terrorists. But considering the representatives of the religions and statistics, 99% of pedophiles believe in some form of God. Also Pastors,Priests, Muhammed etc. Do you think there Is a correlation between believing in a god and pedophilia ?

Note: For any Muslims who get offended by me calling Muhammad a pedophile, can you explain to me how consumating a marriage with a 9 year old isn't pedophilia?

Do you believe that God creates evil, as the Bible states (Isaiah 45:7, KJV)? If you believe this, why do you worship Him?

I have a few things to say... How can Catholics be so blind ???
Turn with me and tell me if catholics are doing things right or not...
1 Timothy 4:1-3 " Now THE SPIRIT speaketh expressively, that in THE LATTER TIMES (now) some shall depart from faith, giving heed to spirits, and DOCTRINES OF DEVILS. Speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their consience seared with a hot iron. FORBIDDING TO MARRY (hmm sounds like priests...), to ABSTAIN FROM MEATS (hmmmm sounds like lent on fridays?) which God hath vreated to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and KNOW THE TRUTH"

hmmm i dont think it gets any more straight foward than that..

another thing.. IDOLETRY!!!

Exodus 20:4 "THou shall NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGES, or any likeness of ANYTHING that is in heaven above."
Exodus 34:17 "THou shall make thee no molten Gods"
Leviticus 19:4 "Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselve molten Gods: I am the LORD your God"
MUST I KEEP GOING? ISNT IT STRAIGHT enough>??

Can you show me a single Bible verse that condemns the practice of slavery? If you were God, would you have written the Bible to include a commandment against slavery? If not, why not? Do you believe that slavery is an acceptable institution? Your God obviously does. He wrote an entire book of picky little rules (including a prohibition against boiling a goat in its mother's milk - Exodus 23:19), but never condemned slavery!

In fact, in Exodus 21:7ff, God gives instructions on how a father can sell his own daughter into slavery. If I followed this Biblical teaching, would you want to be friends with me? Would you let your children come over to my house to play with my children (the remaining children that I hadn't sold into slavery)?

The best-selling book in history ... authored by the creator of the universe ... and it never condemns pedophilia, child abuse, animal abuse, or domestic violence. In fact, Biblegod endorses the beating of children (Proverbs 22:15).
