Dear "lucky" - Thanks, you seem to have a sweet spirit. And a better attitude than me, since I have had a few accounts deleted.

Answer 1

3) transit
4) right angle
5) tape measure and simple math

The reason their way is the only way is because it is the only way they know. Ignorance is bliss as they say.

edit: I think you got me...lol, but then I do also come here to learn!

Answer 2

I don't know much about building or the many ways to do it, but i do know that all of the methods for checking the wall acomplish the same thing. if all of the world's religions accomplished the same goal then everything would be fine. the problem is that they don't. Man's problem is more complicated than how to behave correctly. Christianity not only gives us the correct answer, but it also gives us the correct question: Why are we here?

Answer 3

The Bible says Jesus is the only way to Heaven, In John 3:3 Jesus says you must be Born Again. Our sins seperate us from God, Jesus's death on the cross washed away our sins, and when he arose from the grave the third day he forever opened the door to salvation to all who believe, to all who call upon his name. Have you accepted Christ as your Saviour? Have you confessed to him you are a sinner and are lost? If you are willing to confess and believe you can be saved and Born Again right now, just pray this simple sinners prayer and a new life in Christ awaits, just say Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. Jesus will now send his Holy Spirit to come and live in your heart and guide you into all truth. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

Answer 4

Because Christ said I am the way ,the truth and the life
if any man come,s to the Father except thur me he is the
same as a theif and a robber.

Answer 5

Thats the problem with people in the world today. Many think that their way is the right way yet they are not even seeking for the truth. The Bible gives us the right way if we would only follow it.

Answer 6

Religion told them THEIRS is the only right one so they find "5" different ways to kill off their competitors.

As for the rest of your question

3. don't put it up while drunk
4. make sure the house is falling in on itself.
5. stand on your head against it. If you don't fall over, it's straight up and down.

Answer 7

Who told us our way was the only way?

Jesus did.

"I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except by Me."

And since He was resurrected from the dead, I'd say we better take His word for it!
