yes, its human nature to repeat...the only difference is that new people are born to repeat the same mistakes...it is funny how so many people try to prove one point or the other...when no one has 100% factual evidence to prove they are right...not even evolutionists...
Ecclesiastes 1:8-10
8 All things are wearisome,
more than one can say.
The eye never has enough of seeing,
nor the ear its fill of hearing.
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which one can say,
"Look! This is something new"?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.

Have you seen this answer given before:
The Christian God was very careful to prove Himself when He had the Bible written. He wanted to make sure you would recognize him as a God when he acted. What he did is predict the future. No person on earth, no medium or psychic, can claim the one hundred percent prediction rate of God. God gave names, dates, and places so we can check out history and verify his work. He even gave us the very words someone would say centuries before the fact!
By taking this route, God would not have to appear and prove himself over and over again to new groups of people.
Now if you wanted everyone to know that you, as God, were going to come as a human being, you would explain what you were like so you would be recognized. You would put in the city of your birth, where you grew up, what kinds of deeds you would do, your temperament, your purpose, even how you would die.
God did all that in the Old Testament. It was all in written form four hundred years before Jesus came. The New Testament gospels follow Jesus and point out some of the places where He fulfilled the prophecies.
Let me give you an amazing example of prophecy.
“Daniel 11, written in the 6th century B.C., gives an amazingly thorough account of Alexander’s Grecian kingdom, divided first into four competing factions after his death. It predicts details of the struggle between the Ptolemy and Seleucid empires for a period of 160 years, right down to the advent of the Roman Empire. That is why the skeptics used to claim that the book of Daniel could not have been written before 164 B.C., but now we have proof of a much earlier writing text.
“The prophet Isaiah (44:28) gave the name of a king not yet born and of a kingdom not yet instituted and of an event that would not take place for another 150 years. He predicted that a king named Cyrus would commission the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. Cyrus did come to the throne in Persia, and in the first year of his reign in 538, he issued a decree that the temple in Jerusalem should be rebuilt. (See 2 Chronicles 36:22-Ezra 1:1-3. This prophecy described in the Bible is confirmed by the discovery of a Babylonian inscription.)
“Daniel actually gave the time when Christ would come into the world and die. Daniel (9:24) predicted that Messiah would be cut off (die) 483 Hebrew years after the issuing of the Persian decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. Artaxerxes Longimanus issued that decree on March 5, 444 B.C. (Neh. 2:1-8), granting the Jews permission to rebuild Jerusalem’s city walls. This, too, is confirmed by archeological discoveries. Four hundred eighty-three prophetic years (360 days to a year) and seven days later, Jesus was crucified as predicted. How could a prophet accurately predict the date of Messiah’s death hundreds of years before it took place, unless he was the ‘voice’ of God as he claimed?”
Thanks to the Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran, we know with certainty the above prophecies date before the occurrence of actual prophesied events regarding Jesus.
He has proven His existence perfectly and wonderfully. The Christian God is the true God.

I know what you are saying. I understand, but you see, Jesus says to spread His word to others. That is all good and right, BUT, I think some people take that to mean they should shove it up other peoples' a.s.s's and down their throats. Not true. Tell others of Jesus and what He stands for and what He says, and if others don't want to hear it.....'shake the sand off your sandals' and move on.
That is what I try to do. I agree with you. We should not fight over it. If someone is not intent on hearing it, then leave it alone and forget it. Go tell someone else instead.
We are not suppose to anger each other over this, BUT....Jesus said that He did not come here to bring peace. It's in the bible if anyone wants to read about it.......in each of the 4 gospels.

I Really do agree with you on this one... You just dont know how many crazy ? people ask about religion... sorry lets get back to your ? If you read in the bible it says that the only way to heaven is thru the son jesus christ!! But when we come across someone that has different beliefs as us we are actually supposed to just pray that no matter what they make it to heaven! I dont believe that it really matters if everyone is a christian like I am.. just as long as they do what is right in gods eyes.. and they are happy with thier decision. after all its not my life that they are living its thiers... but as christians it is our duty to let everyone know about Jesus Christ! I Hope That This Helps A LIttle Bit!! AMBER

They dont give it a rest because they dont pay any attention to what the answers are. They are looking for answers that fit their beliefs and assumptions instead of what the true answer is. Like the constant question about Catholics praying to Mary. This has been answered numerous times and we give the answer that "we dont pray to Mary, we ASK Mary to pray for us". They dont accept what a Catholic says about their church, they would just rather bash and spread more lies

same questions but come from different people
It's ok i think
I see many questions from atheists that ask about the proof of God's existence, yes, it has been asked for thousands times, but we always find something new in there.

it's absolutely alright, even if we answer the millionth time, the askers aren't not the same people as well as the participants and the other readers, The more we do good, the more it benefits our own soul as well as the society.
advertisement, propaganda black or white if repeated has more effect. or impact.
