I know this may be a bit late but when I read it and seen it was not addressed I had to take a stab at it.

First I have to ask if you even read the whole thing? That page from...

I don't have experience in this erea as my kids are still young (10, 6) but I hope everything works out for you and your son.

What's the point then?

This debate is really not my cup of tea, but I was just wondering why people would have to make excuses for God not answering prayers when the Bible clearly says "ask and...

Good point and very true. The Mayans are a perfect example of this. Here are a people that we know existed during at least the times the NT was written, and they have there own stories and beliefs...

Dude really,

I would love to take the credit for natural disasters,, lol,, but that would make me God... lol

Man has nothing to do with natural disasters, they have been around long before man...

De Maria,,

I loved reading your response to my post, you will keep me on my toes for sure. I have a lot of respect for you because of the time you have spent on it and quite frankly it was the...

Ohhhhhhhhhh I see

We shouldn't take the word of professionals who are actually out there doing tests, searching for answers, and finding proof of what they say over someone toting around a book...

Complete harmony?

Are you kidding?

If things fell into complete harmony humans wouldn't have struggled for centuries just to live on this highly unstable planet. Floods, fires, earthquakes,...

Wow, are these guys still around?

I used to listen to them.

My favorites were,

White Heart
Petra
David and the Giants
Degarmo and Key and

There are plenty of books on evolution.




The deception comes from the people going around still calling evolution a theory.

A little piece from the WIK

Today, nearly all biologists...

There is so much I would love to add to this right now, but I don't know where to begin.

Eawoodall,



The predictions in the Bible are hit and miss just like any other person predicting...

Believers of other Gods and religions say and believe the same thing.

I know you're a preacher/priest/father(not sure which one) and I respect that, but when you make statements like this you come off looking like you have never read the Bible. It's true there were...

You are right to think that, and it's true.

All that shows though is that God didn't have anything to do with writing the Bible, it really doesn't prove there is no God.

THANK YOU!!



Matthew pretty much says he hung himself, nowhere does it say something broke and he fell, where you got that is from the other story of his death in Acts that says

1:18 Now...

Exactly, I don't believe a God had anything to do with it at all. I think the parents should both go to prison.

HOWEVER,,

If I was to believe in an all powerful God, I would say he could have...

It was the PARENTS who didn't take the kid to the hospital, the GIRL didn't have a choice.



I'm not, GOD let her die. If this wasn't true, she would be alive.

Exactly, God LET the girl die because the PARENTS were stupid. I didn't have a problem reading what you said, I had a problem with the logic of what I read. Free will is not the issue here because...

This is so twisted it's not even funny. Your telling me that if you had the power to prevent this little girls death, you wouldn't have because her parents were stupid??

That's absurd on so many...

So then there is a chance that one of the many earlier myths are true? They were written down.

It wasn't the girls choice, it was the parents.

It may not have been his will, but the fact the girl died says he didn't care. An all powerful god who doesn't prevent this from happening makes him just as responsible for the death as the parent/s.

Things were handled during these concils by way of vote, yes even the divinity of christ was an issue voted on. I wouldn't feel very good about something like that.



Actually we have found out...

War is a horrible thing, my point was there have always been wars. There will always be wars. I guess what I'm trying to say is, how can they get worse, when it's a horrible thing already? Even if...

None of these things have gotten worse. Populations have grown, but all of these things have been a problem from the beginning.

No one is going to take a stab at this?

Your probably right, but at least if this stuff started popping up hear and there on the news or something with real news cameras some skeptics may quiet down a bit. I wouldn't believe it if I caught...

First of all there were well more than 40 writers. We can't forget all the writers that added their own flavor to the rewrites and translations.

Also the Bible is hardly without contradictions. ...

This is where this kind of debate usually leads to. There is not really much one can argue against this without calling someone a liar and I won't do that. I will say this though, Benny Hinn claims...

Chuck,

No one denies places and buildings existed. Even floods happened, heck they still do. The problem is,,

That's how story telling works. How many movies do you watch that takes place in...

Everyone knows the Red Sea exists, but as you so nicely pointed out it was not an act of God that parted the Red Sea as told in the Exodus story, but an act of nature. This does not in any way prove...

When did this happen?



Not really, can you give some some examples?



In the past people of all different religious beliefs have died for their faith, does that mean all of them are...

Can you give reasons you feel this is true?

Perfect!!

You should read about the Sumerians then. These are a people that pre date anything written in religious texts. Also chek out some sites on ancient Egypt. There is plenty of good...

OMG!! For once I totally agree with you Chuck. This guy sounds like he's headed torward getting caught in his back yard with the pic nick table... ROFL

I'm sorry if I didn't take this question as...

This is true, but Satan does not need to prove his existence by proving God does not exist. To believe in one means you have to believe in the other. Satan would be proving he didn't exist as well...

The problem with this is, there really isn't much if any history written about these people outside of religious texts.

You may find some answers reading about other religions. For example the...

My goal was not to prove how much of a christian my mother is, but to point out that it won't matter what is shown the believer will believe regardles.



There was more written than what ended...

She is a true Christian because she follows blindly even knowing without doubt there is reason to believe not everything in the Bible is true. Blind faith is exactly what you need to believe in...

Nothing against christianity at all. The OT isn't without it's faults so Judaism isn't so accurate either. The creation and flood stories in the OT were borrowed from older Babylonian and Sumerian...

One could assume, but a Jew could have said the same thing about Rome at the time and Rome was not small. Christians only started saying it was an insignificant village when archeology started...

Those are good sites, I actually get a lot of my information from wikipedia and the catholic encyclopedia. I believe The Wik pretty much said exactly what I just said.



Until the 4th century...

Hey Sassy,

I just popped in to let you know I did read your response. I see neither of us have budged... lol

Nazareth is a city no one else mentions until the 4th century.

Nazareth is not mentioned even once in the entire Old Testament. The Book of Joshua 19:10,16 – in what it claims is the process of...

The original U.S. motto, chosen by John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson, is E Pluribus Unum ("Of Many, One"), celebrating plurality, not theocracy.

I grew up with the KJV, but I have read them all. At least I thought. I may have one more to read as soon as I'm told what version you read.

I would love to do some research, that's why I asked. What version do you read?

Please don't say the KJV... lol

There is no such thing. I am curious though, what version of the Bible do you read?

Of course there is real truth, it just can't be found in a book that contradicts itself. It cannot be found in a book that was written over thousands of years by many writers who all had different...

Not at all, the bible actually says different things in different places. No one has to take it out of context or twist scripture to fit their beliefs. One only has to go to the scripture that fits...
