Does it translate exactly into fornication? Many sites on the internet say it doesn't, and therefore disregard fornication as a sin according to the bible.

"And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself." (Lk 24:27)

I am compiling a list of references to His existence (such as the "fourth man" in the burning furnace of King Neb...), symbolism (the rock of Moses, Tabernacle, etc), and foreshadowing pointing to Christ in the OT....Can anyone think of an interesting one for me to use? Thanks!!!

Can you believe this?! No wonder you can't get the facts through some Christians heads, it's filled with this kind of nonsense. This goes completely against everything ever written about the holiday in history and they say it like it is fact. What do you guys think of this?

Seems like every news story posted on the Yahoo frontpage has people jumping on R&S to blame it on one side or the other. So why not this one? Which is it?

What's the point of Christianity if they keep committing "sins" knowing that they will be saved and forgiven by Jesus Christ every single time?

Say a person is either a member or a visitor to a church and publicly addresses an error in a sermon or points out a member who is in sin or any other VALID point. Could a 'pastor' legally have security/ushers physically remove a person from the premises?
note: In this situation, the person speaking out isn't yelling, screaming or in any other way acting in a threatening manner. They simply put the issue in the open and or respond to a rebuttal.

This dude at the gas pump was muttering something about George Bush being Annie Christ. Is this possible? Does Jesus have a sister named Annie?

"They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart." -- Jeremiah 7:31

Jehovah considered what the sons of Judah did a detestable thing. Then, why would he send us in a fiery hell?

"God is love..." -- 1 John 4:16

A loving God would not create a place where the dead suffer eternally.

I am almost finished reading The Satanic Bible, and I hope I don't offend you, but it seems to be pretty much atheistic to me.
If the Satanistist puts the individual in place of god, recognizing the full potential of what humans can do on their own, doesn't that pretty much mean you don't believe in a god, and are, therefore, just an atheist?
Can you please enlighten me more as to what you believe?

P.S. If you are not familiar with this, please don't bring ignorance here, as that doesn't help the education process much....

TC: The Trinity consists of three parallel lines, which touch each other.
LDS: If they touch each other, they're not parallel.
TC: Nevertheless, they are parallel, and they touch. They touch at every point.
LDS: If they touch at every point, they're the same line. Not three.
TC: They touch at every point, yet there are three.
LDS: That doesn't make any sense. Lines can't be different yet the same, parallel yet intersecting. The words stop having any meaning when you say such things.
TC: That's because you have a finite, mortal mind, which cannot comprehend the nature of geometry.
LDS: To me, that's just crazy. The Trinity is three lines, completely distinct, perfectly parallel, so they go infinitely in the same direction. That's simple, it's clear, and it's true. In fact, we've seen the lines.
TC: That's blasphemy! You can never see the lines! They're only imaginary!
LDS: Your lines are imaginary. The lines we've seen are real.
TC: Then you are not a Geometrist!

people assume that I believe the statement? Sometimes I ask things that others put as an answer to a question. Like the Catholic whore thing. I am asking for input on that statement, not saying I agree or believe it. just thought that people would answer the question, not bash me and say I'm horrible! I guess I need to sneek into my question are that I don't necessarily believe this, but heard it elsewhere and am looking for input?

Question-since when has asking questions and trying to get people to learn things for themselves been considered pushing your beliefs down someone's throat.Is it wrong to try to get people to think and research things instead of following blindly.The atheist that i know and many of them on this site are not pushing their views on anyone.They seem to ask questions or they just give their views on religion.I haven't seen many questions or answers on here where there is an atheist telling you not to believe in god,or to abandon your faith,or give up on your god.What i have seen is they ask questions about things that don't make sense and try to get you to think about them logically.On the other side,i've seen many religious people saying things like those who dont believe are fools and will burn,or you are blind and need god to open your eyes,or passages from a book saying that we are doomed and they are heaven bound.So who is really being the hypocrite and trying to force beliefs.

Why do Christians always attempt to deconstruct this particular theory, when there's others that equally cast doubt on a literal bible? Other than the occasional dig at the Big Bang, of course. Why do we never see anything on geology and rock strata? Nothing on heavier elements being formed in supernovae? Quantum indeterminancy?

Is it just a nagging unease about possibly being distantly related to primates, or something else?
