I wish god had found another virgin whose child had took on disease, old age and starvation. Instead of being crucified he or she could have died of some horrible painful disease and saved us for our illnesses as well as our sins.

Funny how He won't say the other gods are nonexistent. Shows you what the people of the time were really thinking. It was a lot of "my god is better than your god." Then they go to war to prove who's god is strongest. Today, we go to war to prove who's god is the realest. Stupid humans.

One thing I've never understood: Why would an entity as powerful as the monotheists claim god is even notice, let alone care about us? Seriously, as a species, we are a tiny speck of carbon, inhabiting some backwater little planet in an unremarkable galaxy in one spot of the 13.7 billion light year universe. Why would a god even have a plan for us?

Our Universe could be a science kindergarten project for some petulant little brat creature. Its plan:Or it could be a more meaningful relationship. For all I know the bacteria that inhabit my lower intestines could be burning offerings for me right now....in fact that might be how they help me digest my food.win the trophyIts care level:win the trophyIts care for us as a species:as much as a little boy/girl would care for the algae that infests an aquariumIts care for individuals:as much as we would care about a spec of corn in the turd we have just flushed down

Nice analogy, what if we became aware that a group of bacteria had mutated into a bacteria which could digest us aswell as our food and cause a disease?
Or worse still they had invented nuclear weapons and were about to nuke another species of bacteria. It might be mutually assured destruction. They could be scrapping over a bit of your dinner with their hands hovering over the red button. (Geeze it reminds me of the Cuban missile crisis) Would you send in the antibiotic squad, or go for surgery and intensive care I wonder. Hey what about nano bots .... cool. |

For Cristians the thought of GOD makes the things you don't understand, understandable. I call it the lazyness, unwillingness to do research and think logically or have an opinion!

They delieted this once and I can't figure out why?
If I can't say what I want to say then this whole conversation is one sided. Or look up and understand. All life praises the lord. There you go, if we are part of God's mind then some of the bad cells are dying and where do the dead cells wind up? Those bad ones, that aren't thinking right, the ones that no longer believe they are part of a whole, the ones who curse the creator? The flawed ones, the (part of God’s mind) who can't feel compassion who reject all accept materialism, which is a form of Idolatry. Who spread those concepts like a disease or infection? Spolier you seen it. But that's not to say there isn't a treatment plant for humans. Baptism by fire, isolation in darkness, and a vision of who made you think the way you do... It's pretty simple really; there was a separation in the beginning and a re-union at the end of all of our lives. So what it says is; the kingdom of heaven is within you, this is how we know. You can't escape, either now or later, your choice to see this. The part of God that is within you isn’t the same as in a bacterium. There is no bacteria on the other side what function would they have, there’s no death no corruption, no need to digest, all will be nourished by Gods light and word, command. I see nothing wrong here or with my spolier show. Comady is good. Think of tolets you should beable to figure it out. If this offends then close your eyes when you read? If you can talk crap I see no reason why the rest of us can't or is this place highly protecting you to keep you here? Is the devil in the works here too? |

First I understand way more than most others and more than atheists in here. Try applying your response to the subject and not the people who are involved. For attacking the messengers and not the messenger your post should be deleted. You show lack of emotional intellegents. Try addressing the O.P... |

Humans evolved the ability to conceive of God, thus giving God a means of existence.
God is in the mind of Humans, we created the space outside of space and time that God inhabits. We have it within our power to change the Environment of God. God is scared of us. Prove me wrong Limbo... |

There's been some intresting developments in what we know and what they recently found.
All these new finds re-enforce it seems, what we have so far.

Seal those books up until the end time when the time is right.
Daniel 12:4 But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge." Daniel 8:26 "The vision of the evenings and mornings that has been given you is true, but seal up the vision, for it concerns the distant future." 10Many shall be purified and made white and tried, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. Daniel 12 |

edge, maybe YOU are the gramps with the closed mindset. Scriptures prove God just as comic books prove Superman. Give us something that's convincing beyond what's only happening in your head, because your reports of your feelings that God is real convince no one. Where's the beef?

Simply stating something doesn't make it true.
You have frequently made statements that contradict observable evidence. That suggests you understand very little of the world. The OP is nothing other than unsubstantiated assertions. It holds as much "truth" as and work of fiction, including an episode of TruBlood. The current burden is on you to demonstrate what you say is real. Simply saying you have secret knowledge isn't enough. |

The Lead Codices were proven to be FORGERIES..... The Dead Sea Scrolls are in fact DETRIMENTAL to the Authenticity of the Bible. Have a look at this post where I explain SOME of this. So if anything the obfuscation and delay in their publications would serve the Agenda of the mostly Church associated experts who had control over them. |

How much love does Jesus show in these verses and what is the PLAN:
Quote:
What about how Jesus DEGRADED the poor Canaanite woman with utter disdain and calling her a dog (see below) compared with the cowardly obeisance he displayed towards a Roman centurion (see below)? How are we supposed to interpret the COWARDLY SERVILITY of Jesus to the Centurion and the BIGOTRY and ABUSE to the Canaanite peasant? What is the Plan there? Matthew 15:
