Did they take it. Was it hidden near Mt. Nebo as I heard. Did Jeremiah have anything to do with it? Did God take it? What are your views?

I recently met an old college buddy from Iran. He stated that their are many jews living in their country and they get along with their neighbors in the cities they live in. And even some government officials actually give proyection to them. Is all we hear from the media true about these relations for the negative, or could this coexisteance be possible. Just wondering.

Is it possible to use science, a wonderful tool for measuring data in our natural world, as a means of testing things in the spiritual world? Furthermore can we actually expect to answer the question of is there a God in a laboratory?

I am baffled with how anyone could feel comfortable enough to make incredibly derogatory and offensive comments about "God". There is absolutely no possible way to be 100% convinced from "evidence" that God does not exist (the same could be said of the converse). Even if you are 99% certain that he does not exist, why take the chance? Why not just reverently choose to live your life with the belief that God does not exist, but also choose not to take any more risks and chances than you need to? It would seem to me that if there was even an extremely slight chance that there actually is a God, a God who was at the very least smart enough to create the world, and who is in control of the afterlife (which is also impossible to prove for or against), than it would be so foolish that I as a reasonable person could not take seriously anyone who felt it was necessary to voice their opinion so strongly as to make offensive comments to and about an assumed non-existent God. Why bother?

I hear you Christians claim that prophecies in the O.T. was fulfilled in the N.T.

I was wondering what prophecy was fulfilled?

I am not interested in cities actually existing like the bible says.
That just proves a place existed, but the story about the place could all be imaginary.

General incidents are not in for a debate either.

So please fill me in with one or two examples.

I don't need verses. Just explain to me with your own words.

I asked the question recently, but it was deleted. They said it wasn't a question!?! (If you answered it the first time, thank you. You don't have to answer it this time unless you just want to shout it out!)

Jesus Christ, born of a virgin, died on the cross to save us from our sin, rose the third day to conquer death for us, ascended to heaven to prepare a place for us, and is coming back to get all who believe this?

Jesus is the ONLY way of salvation from the punishment of sin?

Baptism is not required for salvation, but it is an essential first step in a person's walk with God and in order to show sincerity in what a person believes?

Jesus is one of the three manifestations of the one and only living God, 100% man and 100% God. The other two are God, the Father/Creator and God, the Holy Spirit?

The Bible is the inerrant, infallible, eternal, living Word of God?

satan is a real being?

Do you believe ALL of these statements Why?? Or why not? (Biblical reasons, plz)

I am an Atheist, but I had back in 2000 emailed the Church of Satan with a question about Kenneth Anger; the artistic tie interested me.

The High Priestess of the Church wrote me back very politely outlining the Church's tenets, and about Anger's association with the Church. It was a pleasant exchange, and I read about the Church on their website as she had requested I do, to further understand their teaching.

From what I gathered, the Church is the champion of the celestial underdog, in this case represented by the angel who was cast out by a God with whom he had clashed in conflict, and all over his championing of mankind, and the right of mankind to free will: man should be responsible for his actions and pay for them accordingly, but this is not eternal damnation, it is payment according to deeds, and always with the hope of mercy.

It is just my opinion, but this did not seem anything but a different, yet positive, religious expression as valid as any. What do you think?

Now, before you get pissed off just hear me out. It says in the bible that god sent the flood, destroyed the earth and the only ones spared was Noah, his family and his son's wives. Does that mean we're all Jewish and some weird mix of brothers, sisters and cousins. Every one including blacks,whites and asians are close blood relatives? Ummm ok what kind of person who isn't a complete idiot would believe that?

So, today at work I talked to a Christian coworker. He went on and on about how humans are naturally dirty aka sinful. "It's like a child who plays in the mud and touches everything. Everything we touch becomes dirty." I've been a Christian my whole life, and I never believed that. The guy actually said that is true Christianity beliefs.

I'm just tired of Christianity in general. It has such a bad history involving conversion or die tactics. And many Christians I've met just seem to want to condemn others to hell.

is it a fair assumption for me to make that Adam was more my skin colour (earthen) than the skin colour (the colour of sand (whitish) in my homeland) of my youngest son.

just a thought that popped into my head...LOL

Christians come to our church and don't believe in animal sacrifices because they say the Son of God did away with animal sacrifices. I believe in the Son of God too and know He believed in all the commandments including sacrifices of animals and know He agreed with them!! This is soooo frustrating!! I'm tired of hearing the men argue!! :(

instead of middle eastern superstition?

africa has a religious policy on contraception, and look at the chaos and mass death caused by AIDS because of it!

people can practice their religion, but religion should NOT influence political policy, because religious belief is NOT based on objective evidence

the scandinavian countries have the most successful societies in the world because of a strong sense of social responsibility and NO meddling and interfering from religious groups

the USA is a disjointed mess of a society because it is the exact opposite to countries like sweden - no sense of social responsibility and considerable influence from religious groups. heck, the man in charge is a christian fundamentalist who gets his instructions from an imaginary space ghost with gas legs!

insane!

a quick look at rates of poverty and crime and murder and healthcare performance etc will demonstrate the difference between USA and scandinavia in glorious technicolour

For those of you that don't know, irreducible complexity states that something as complex and fine tuned as a body organ (like an eye) can't be reduced in complexity (made simpler) or else it would be rendered useless (like removing a cog from a clock mechanism).
This of course is an argument against evolution, since evolutions states that living things gradually become more complex over time. Darwin however, dismissed this argument with a simple explanation. And you can easily observe a human becoming more complex inside the womb as he starts out from a single cell, simple -->complex.
But that's beside the point.
Since this argument says that simple things can't give way to more complex things, it implies that god would have to be more complex that the universe, meaning something of even greater complexity would have to create him, and so on.
