Relax..... people would still have a choice, but at least the genuinely interested would have a fighting chance at understanding something written thousands of years ago in a dead language.
What, he can't have another kid? Come on, god can do anything.

If god really wanted to help humanity, he would do it. No need for a son or book. Then again, if god really cared in the first place, humanity wouldn't need help.

God made it very clear. The Bible says that the foolish will be unable to see what He has made clear because they refuse to see. Read the Bible. Get a New American Standard (NIV) version or a Living Bible. Those versions are in plain English, versus the old King James Version, and when one truly reads the Bible with the intent of wanting to see what God has to say, they WILL understand. If a person is reading for the purpose of trying to find verses in it that they can use to their advantage, then that is not only a sin, but is foolish and stupid. Read the whole message that God intended. God does not NEED to send another Savior. The world rejected Him the first time and rejects Him still. There are MANY COUNTLESS people however, of all different walks of life, levels of intelligence, and life experiences, who understand VERY clearly the message of the Bible because their hearts are sincere and they are truly seeking to KNOW God - not MOCK Him. Yes - God CAN do anything. He can even give you another chance, and another, and another. It is up to you to open your eyes, soften your heart, and stop mocking Him before you run out of chances.

The bibles translation will come to us when we belong to him and our hearts don't have at it in rebellion! Everything is already there for you to understand what Jesus did for you. Jesus was very clear in his teachings . When you receive him into your life , accept that he died and rose from the dead. What the purpose of the cross meant to you personally, and if Satan is talking smack into your ears it will remain a mystery to you. Yes God can do anything, even made a way for you to get it!! Ask your self why you someone hasn't explained to you that the word of God is the living bible, not the dead bible. I hear many kids in my college classes make this very statement, something written thousands of years ago,like big whop. This is "your " history and will tell you how many before you failed in rebellion and lack of understanding and how many made it and lived in Glory and the promises given. If the enemy"satan" can confuse you enough to the point you throw your hands in the air and say things like "why cant God send anonther kid" then he has accomplised what he wants and you dont get to get revelation knowledge that God made a way for you to understand it all and to be set free so you can read and have it pop out at you! Nothing dead about the launauge it was written in, only some things can be lost in translation and a good concordance bible will help with that. My sugestion is get a bible that will help you with translation, get with people that will fully help you understand. The word of God says " Let the peace of God rule in your hearts Col3:15 This means the peace of God leaves you when you have inner turmoil and going against Gods will , he has many ways he show us through Godly counsel , surrender to him completley and cast off all imaginations that exalt themselves against God .

he does send prophets.
well?
whether they are prophets or not is debateable.
the first one i learned of was Joseph Smith jr. he has his own translation of the scritpures. To believe his testimony is to debate and study everything he changed in the king james version of the bible.
The others that I know of are Helen White, the jehova witness staff at the watch tower. the seventh day adventist the baptists, who by the way made a NEW edition of the bible to conform to their theology to change from the immediate theology of the KJV.
even the catholic church has added or still has what king james took away from the cannon. Oh yeah dont forget the muslims, they declare altered Beliefs through their own Koran and other hsitorical documents. They claim are more true. I remember reading the gospel of barnabus.
i wish i could remember the others but they are more insigificant to remember.
So why doesnt God send another son? He give the power of men to become sons of men, who will you ignore or have Killed, or more precise, Which group of religion will murder all the prophets that God will send as his Sons. Who can find the power to become a prophet or a messenger in these days.
I asked for it once, I prayed and fasted, and I consecrated my life. if i have a true witness of jesus christ, than I am one who chose to be sent.
but NOT all messengers are Sent when they become perfect, not all were perfect in this life altogether! but a few have achieved perfection, NOAH and Enoch and JOB were three such as listed as being the only ones saved in their generation. OF course Elijah was also RAised up, and yes Mohammed was raised up, not in a chariot of fire, or like jesus after he was ressurrected but he climbed a ladder.
LOL, can God have another Kid?
sure he can, i have testified of that myself read Rev 3:21 and 21:7. Jesus will give his throne to those that overcome ALL THINGs and Jesus will be OUR Father and we will be his son. That would ultimately PROJECT that ALL OF THE Sons of Jesus will be the grandsons of God. Even if it is only ONE person that actually fulfills that promise and its requirements.

First of all- I can translate the whole bible in one verse for you- I am a child of God so here it goes'
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON, SO WHOEVER BELIEVES ON HIM SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
Of course there is much more to learn and live by- but until you accept Jesus as the payment for your sins, you will not be able to intepret a lot of the bible- because the flesh cannot understand what the Spirit says- but once you have the Spirit- you will understand much more. Start with this one truth and you will be amazed at how much God will make clear to you.

Because there is only one God the Son who was with the Father before there was a beginning. The scriptures He has given and preserved for us are quite easy to understand if you desire to do so. The carnal mind cannot receive the things of God because they are spiritually discerned. When you have a renewed mind in salvation, understanding is also born again. God Himself could stand in material form before you and speak perfectly in modern languages and you still would not understand...because it is spirit not flesh. And why should He anyway - you didn't believe the first one He sent.

Why can't God create an updated Bible, make one appear in every home all over the world? It would be translated in all languages, saying the the same thing. No errors for
interpretation. Come on, God can do anything.

He did clearly state the bible through Jesus. Even things Jesus said were not understood until much later, but they were still true and clear. Between only getting what those aroung him could remember at the time they wrote it down, and translation in to english from the original greek and hebrew we have lost much of the meaning. We cant get it right. Jesus made clear what the old testement said. After that we get confused agian.

Haven't you ever heard God helps those who help themselves? God has given blessing after blessing, made what is right and wrong very clear and we still abuse those priveledges. We hate, are greedy, commit sin after sin. If you are a Christian you know that God doesn't need to send another son, he will send Jesus, his son again. When he does he will cleanse the earth of the sin and allow us again another chance at peace. God can do anything but he gave us a brain to use it for a reason, he isn't going to solve every problem for us.

I'm answering this question so I can reach the 300 point level.
God's first Son was killed. So were some of the prophets before him and many thousands of martyrs afterwards.
Let's face it. If you don't know what the truth is now then it's very possible you really don't care to know. Because for non believers they couldn't handle the truth.

I have what's called "The Holy Bible" That's a lot more lucid than the James versioin. Years ago, there was what's called the Black bible, I think. Anyway, it was in slang. The one thing that stands in my mind was how "Thy shall not kill." was Thy shall not waste" as if that commandment had to be elucidated more. People who can't glean from that sentence need to go back to school. Apparently that woman underestimated the intellegence of Blacks.
