Answer 1

Tough choices - didn't Yahoo have something like this a few months back?
Well, I'd pick the following:

1. Petra 2. The Pyramids 3. The Acropolis 4. Angor Wat 5. Machu Picchu 6. the Taj Mahal 7. Stonehenge

My reasoning: 1. I've picked mostly the "older" sites because I'm more impressed by the ability of people with less technical knowledge (and help) to build what they did. 2. I've seen all the siites I picked, except for Angor Wat (and I've seen many of the sites I didn't pick) 3. Some of the sites I picked have "hidden qualities" beyond their impressive construction (e.g. the Pyramids, Stonehenge, etc. ) in that they are also very sophisticated archeo-astrological instruments.

By the way, I'd like to add one more:

Chaco Canyon (with the amazing Sun Dagger) - please see the links below)

Answer 2

The Great Wall of China, Kiyomizu Temple,Kyoto(Japan), Neuschwanstein Castle,Schwangau(Germany), Timbuktu(Mali), The Pyramids of Giza(Egypt), The Acropolis of Athens(Greece), and Stonehenge,Amesbury(U.K).

Answer 3

Yes, he did! And the Hebrew, Jewish nation ones you are referring to, stayed in the OT. Have you ever asked yourself: Why did Jesus always refer to God as "His Father" as opposed to using the YHWH tetragrammaton? (which, by-the-way, has no place in the Greek NT) It's because when you bring the tetragrammaton into the NT, you obscure the identity of who Jesus Christ is. In the NT there is a change of covenants, and a fulfilling of OT promises. Now, instead of the blood of goats, and lambs, we approach to God by a new and living way. And that's why God puts such an emphasis on his Son for salvation. Now, they are called 'witnesses' for CHRIST. Mark 16:17;Acts 1:8. "This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Nether is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:11-12. And that name is Jesus, not the tetragrammaton.

Answer 4

The Acropolis of Athens
The Great Wall of China
The Hagia Sofia, Istanbul
Petra in Jordan
Stonehenge
The Taj Mahal, India

and for my last one, I'm going to stray away from your list and vote for St. Peters in Rome.

All of this made my hair stand on end when I visited them, they are all awe-inspiring.
