Can anyone show from the Holy Bible that/of

1) an OT prophecy that the Messiah will be born of a "'sinless immaculate'", instead of a '"virgin'";
if not how is it every prophecies speak of His being born of a 'virgin' and not an 'immaculate'??

2) that Mary is not a sinner despite she offer sin offering (Luke 2, ie the two turtle doves, one for burnt offering and the other for SIN OFFERING) and confessing she needed a Saviour (Luke 1:46-47)

3) the Saint Peter is petra (when Cephas in Aramaic was interpreted by the VERY MOUTH of the Lord Jesus as pet'ros, a stone John 1:42).

Simon = Cephas = petr'os (Jesus interpretation of the Aramaic word Cephas) = a stone

Matt 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art pet'ros (a stone), and upon this petra (πέτρα, ROCK,ie upon Jesus Christ Himself) I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.


Any roman catholic even bother/willing to repent???

As religious people claim even if there is a god dont you think all what we know about him comes from human understanding and not directly from him?

what do you say?

I really do not get it.

Personally, since I am surrounded by religious discussion on here at least once every day - I can't help feeling this soft nudge of dread that's got to do with the Bible...

My mind tells me "Why would you want to go to hell? Why are you standing up against Christianity when it wouldn't hurt to be in it anyway? Is it really worth the risk of your soul?"

Before my heart kicks in again and I realise that standing up for what I believe in is the most important thing.

It's not the Christianity religion I'm against - it's more likely the Bible (which is foundation of structured Christianity anyway). I just don't see how it's the true words of God when the writers are no more devine or inspired than anyone else in the world.

So my question is - why does the Bible have to put everyone on a guilt trip?

Why does it spread the message of fear among non-Christians instead of the message of love? Why would people want to convert to a religion based on fear (of hell)?

Wasn't that long ago and there was only one belief and one church, Why do you that have followed those who split off have so much hate in you when you cry out that you are a christian? Why do you try to bring Catholics to anger, or try to make them feel unstudied or less of a christian for not following your idea of what being a christian should be? At what point did you decide that going with a changed bible and self ordaining made you better?

Is it a desire to live beyond life?
Is it a need for an explanation to things that science can not yet explain?
Is it because thats all you've been taught by everyone you trust the most?
Do you genuinely believe the holy books to be true?
Is it something i've not mentioned? If so what?

a couple of scenarios of people ive heard of from gossip my younger brother brings home from his school. it has led to my curiosity:

if a goy child was adopted by orthodox jewish parents, and raised him jewish - for all his life, but hasnt had a bat mitvah. and he has practiced judaism and knows nothing else, is he jewish or not?

if goy parents adopt an orthodox jewish child,would they be allowed to raise it jewish. ie teach him judaism, allow him brit millah and bar mitzvah and teach him to keep kosher without being converts themselves but practising judaism? if they wanted to convert, would it be allowed?

and finally a jewish child who was adopted by goy parents, but this time the child didnt know of his jewish roots until she is older. say over the age of 21+, she knows nothing about judaism apart from basics. she wants to learn more about her culture and to learn hebrew and become a "proper" jew. how would she go about this? Could she ever learn now she is older?

I heard that a person is supposed to choose a baptism and confirmation name according to the saint(s) that one feel "close" to. Mine was chosen by my mom because that's the name of one of my relative and i didn't think of it again because since i was a kid until few years after my confirmation i wasn't interested in the faith and didn't practice it. I felt that it was more of an obligation to my family.

Now that i'm a practicing Catholic, i start to question her decision, as i feel that there are other saints that i feel i can relate more to.

My baptism name is Monica Roberta, and my confirmation name is Theresia (or Theresa in common English)

I am asking this because whenever I post a question about Bible-fundamentalists and to them (in an attempt to be specific as to what group I am directing my questions to), some people say I am insulting ALL Christians.

When did you decide to become a true christian and why? How do you feel about athiests? Please don't tell me you were born that way, because we still have choices. By the way, I do believe in God, so please no bashing.

REPEAT

Pro 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in His fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is His name, and what is His Son's name, if thou canst tell?


Jehovah Witnesses, can you answer ...
1) What is His name?
2) What is His Son's name?

3) The Person, Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended, Who hath gathered the wind in His fists, who hath bound the waters in a garment, who hath established all the ends of the earth.....Who is He?

For a while I have been extremely depressed, pondering what life is about because I am a quiet person and incidently a "boring" person that no one would actually want to relate to or be friends with. I was constantly spying on other people's myspaces and day dreaming about the happy lives they have with all their friends and relationships. I was so mad at my inability I started accusing God of making me like this and really criticized God all day and even on Yahoo Answers. With this attitude, I went to my church. The weird thing was that the sermon was exactly the direct answer to my questions. It provided the causes, effects, and solutions to the problems that I was facing. After that, I just fell down and cried for forgiveness.I believe that this testifies to God's existence and his extent of love to embrace the lonely and the desperate even though these people may denounce God.

Do you believe that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, that they had a child? Do you think that the church has hidden the truth they already know because of pride??? What do you think??? BE NICE!!!
