that Jesus was actually a Jewish proponent of Buddhism, not a messiah? Buddhist philosophy had a while to gain popularity in the region before the Romans came, after all.

Opinions?

In the Old Testament times, many people practiced polygamy, including some of the most prominent, wise, and faithful men of God (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, etc).

God didn't frown on polygamy in those days. So why is it so abominable to Christians today?

I'm not saying I'm for polygamy. I can hardly handle one wife, let alone multiple wives... :-) Just wondering what christians think.

Documentable. Not second-hand, not double hearsay. For 'science,' read 'rational thought,' 'realism,' or 'nature.' This is not to say that science explains every phenomenon; it doesn't. Show your work.

Is anyone else tired of these "inspirational" messages being tritely used?

Because if someone sent me one telling me that "God has a plan" after my child were killed or I got hit by a car, I'd be pissed, not philosophical.

And do the people who send them buy Thomas Kinkade paintings and knit TV cozies?

What, if anything, can we do to save our nation from another dark ages?

Jeremiah 1:5 says - BEFORE I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

KJV

Sperm and eggs unite in the woman so does that mean sperm must have souls?


I had some thoughts on abortion today; I am looking for feedback from the thoughtful:

what does that imply to you? knowing that sin is vry deceitful, shouldn't we christians be even more gaurded as to what we say, do, and watch? instead of using excuses that we can't help but do these things?

There is a verse in the bible that says something to the effect of... if you have Jesus but turn from him you can never go back? Does this mean that if I have Jesus but still have doubts or research other religions I cant "remain christian" I research other religions because I like to know what they believe so I can understand them if I get into a conversation with a person of another religion. I also started off researching to find the way to God as unbiased as I could, I didnt want to blindly believe what I grew up with. That said I have become a christian... but am I really accepted by Christ even though I still hav e doubts??

Now I was on a forum and a guy stated that the Bible states the men can have more than one wife. This is exactly what he stated: "The bible also says a man can take many women but a women may only have one man". When prompted for a verse where it states that in the Bible he provided Deuteronomy 21:15. I read that verse and from what I understood from it, it doesn't state that men can have more than one wife. So is this guy just full of it, or what?

Thx for your mature answers in advance, because I know that there is an immature person that lurks around in here.

I have heard a lot of people use this term. I was wondering what the actual name is. Not the titles that are used. I have been told you have to be baptized in the name of the trinity. So, what is the NAME?

I am getting SO sick of you whining about how everyone is " hating on you " Have you not seen all the posts about how us atheists are so arrogant and ignorrant and what not? In the end NO ONE should be fighting over religion but this is one battle that will never be won.

were affiliated with another religion before becoming a Jehovah's Witness? Did your family members/friends turn their backs on you?

And there for she had to leave as well. its been a year since I seen her lovely face or talked to her but one day out of the blue I had a dream about her and now I cant stop thinking about her. I cant get a hold of her because I dont have her number. I so want to see her lovely face and hold her in my arm's and tell her I love her once more. Is that wrong for me to wish.

I would like to know which states give less rights to people without religious beliefs, including the right to run for political office. If you do not know or are guessing, please do not answer. Sources would be great as well. Thank you!
