I'm reading the Chronicles of Narnia for the first time and I got to the part where the Beavers explain that Lillith was Adam's first wife, but their children weren't human. I've heard of Lillith before but I can't remember where. Any help would be appreciated.

it is all about puting the evil one under your feet, and learning to walk Like Jesus, TO BECOME PERFECT. FOR EXAMPLE.

a man sins till he is 30, God perfects him on earth because man surrendered all unto God, his mind, his life to follow the path of righteousness. So if man lived(or taken) till 120 or even 1000 he never sinned again. For he walks with the knowlage and heart of God. So for 90 yrs or million yrs he never sinned again and sin was defeated, and God gave him the glory of heaven for he is among the righteous.

Now the purpose of the cross is, you keep sinning and Jesus was sent to die for you. You never BECAME perfect, but became perfect with Christs BLOOD. So you sin all your life never worthy of heaven, but Gods grace was sent to set you free. GOD HATES sin.I am sure he does not want sin in your life if he truely love's you and must have a way to "truly" purge the sin out of you, without anyone getting hurt? Yes I mean his son Jesus.for he was nailed to a cross to free U.

A mulsim/wiccan/budist/statanist etc is building right now beside a church and is openly handing out litrature to promote themselves and attracting the young people

That would be religous freedom no one is taking the rights of the christian away

But isn't that sort of religous freedom the last thing the christian wants ?

It must be a major conflict of interest for them

So if you want religous freedom isn't it wise to keep religons like bible thumping christians out of politics as best as possible in order to have and protect religious freedom?

The bible says he created the universe by speaking it into existence... effortlessly.

But in order to undo the damage to our souls from sin and to rescue us from the judgement and punishment of it, God had to be born on this earth to suffer and die on the cross. The Lord sweat blood thinking about how awful this torture would be, in Jesus we see God expending his energy like nowhere else in the entire bible - including creation, the flood, parting the red sea, healing the sick etc.

Jesus's death on the cross was the most difficult thing that God had to do (that is among what is recorded in scripture).

What do you think about that?

Should Hollywood pass more anti-adultery laws including depicting that on soap operas five days a week?

Should some of the characters in the Homer Simpson episodes be censored as to what they are allowed to say, that is, should Homer Simpson be treated like the Golden Compass/Harry Potter type movies?

Remember: Vote the Bible in 2008.

does god really need anyone to defend him? if he truly exists and is as powerful as people claim he is, how come he never stands up for himself? why does he leave it up to people who might possibly be misunderstanding him to defend him? couldn't so many wars be prevented if he just stepped up and said who he is. i'll probably get a few responses pertaining to free will. so i'll put it like this. let's say two friends of yours who aren't friends with each other are about to kill each other over who is your best friend. well, maybe not kill each other, but get into fight. would you do anything to stop them from fighting? would you just let it happen and say, well, they have free will. they can do what they want. or would you try and at least reason with the both of them so that they will get along a little bit better.

do you think jesus gets too much credit for the whole crucifixion thing? i mean to say death is not the worst thing that can happen to you, i would have been more impressed if he had been wrongly imprisoned for 40 years. he went to heaven right? is sitting at his fathers side in judgment of all mankind for eternity worth one day of pain?

I am a Christian ( it doesn't matter what denomination) and I have always questioned the prophecies and authority of Joseph Smith ( founder of the moormans). I read that after Smith died his band of moormans attacked a village and killed all but the children. That doesnt sound like a real prophet to me. What are your thoughts?

I am left without words, so I am just curious what you would reply to a person who said this:

"My savior suffered and died for your sins as well as his and mine and everyone else's, the least you could do is accept it and worship him."


Do you think a person saying such a thing would ever realise that what he's talking about, is (for others) just as real as the celestial teapot?

them? If this, then, where are they "stored" prior to coming into our awareness? Are they within the infinite potential/possibility of the Absolute Field? How do thoughts serve us? Are they purposeful or purposeless? Do they divert us from our true nature? Is thinking always useless and unproductive? Or do we use the ability to "think" incorrectly? Are questions such as this just stirring up chaos and confusion? Is the intellect a helpful thing? I am Curious

Okay I don't really know anything bout the books or the movie. I heard it got something to do with killing God. Now is that what the people think the deeper message in the movie is, or are they actually killing God? I'm a Christian, I'm not happy with killing God obviously, but I'm so tired of all this attack on mainstream things, I mean, when I was 4 I was a huge Ninja Turtles fan, then all of a sudden it's satanic, pfff, then Biker Mice, Pokemon, Harry Potter. Same with music (I'm a big fan of Old School Rock, it's attacked for decades now!). So is this movie something to be concerned about, or is just as the above mentioned?

Thanks!

can you see something for what it is if there is nothing to compare to what it is not? Example we know we are alive because we know what dead is. Have a go answer whatever you want. Hit the star key if your antheist (The majority of you have great answers)

Religious say "Well, God created us out dust"

Atheists say "we were not created by God, everything began with the big bang. It hit the earth and life began from abiotic organisms."

Religious say "Well, it makes more sense than God exist, than the rumor that a rock came from nowhere, was pushed by nothing, hit something, and "boom" life began."

Atheists say "hahaha, that doe snot make sense at all."

Why do we call sense? because you statement make "more" sense and mine make less sense, then your statement is true?

Evolution and Creationism are based and thing we did not see. I have yet to see a transitioning fossil. I have yet to see that dinosaur with one wing. Or that fish with one leg. Were transitioning species inmortal or what?
