It's just made up stuff from a pre science era....nothing more. I can fully understand why they did it. But not now.....when will we grow up??
Muslims do believe in Jesus, very much so. They just think he was a prophet.well, it doesn't necessarily go hand in hand. Muslims believe in god , but not Jesus.
I think most people just can't deny the existence of something higher, but totally don't want to go along with what they've been told was true about Jesus and the devil, because that is just too uncomfortable. But as long as there is an all forgiving force of good and Light of Love that will never let anything bad happen to their soul upon death, they're happy.unknownuk420 said:why do alot of people belive there is no devil or no jesus but belive in god?
ye sounds bout rightI think most people just can't deny the existence of something higher, but totally don't want to go along with what they've been told was true about Jesus and the devil, because that is just too uncomfortable.

Atheists like Pol Pot, Stalin, and Mao? Those atheists????? Yeah. They loved human life.Have you noticed that atheist/agnostic seem to have more value for human life compared to religious people?...
I have. thats for DAMN sure
Oh really? Who wrote it then? The Bible fell out of the sky? I missed that headline. Perhaps you mean the Ten Commandments? By the way the people of Israel, for whom it was written (with no proof that it ever existed) failed that test miserably. The old testament will tell you that much. The bible was written by anonymous men of whom we know practically nothing at all, except for perhaps Paul (Saul), who jacked the entire religion. Who is Jesus? I mean who is he?? The bible doesn't say. No one in the bible ever talked to Jesus. Who is Mary? Where did Mary come from? In all probability Mary was adopted by her Mother Anne who was well past the age of maternity. Who are these people? The Bible doesn't say. No other book does either.Man did not write the Bible.
Have you heard of the newly discovered annals from a monastery twenty miles from Jerusalem? They are from the Essene sect and these newly discovered "dead sea scrolls" start one half century BEFORE the supposed birth of Jesus to second half of the century after him. Twenty miles away and these scrolls are very detailed about everything going on. These were the true scribes of that area. The Bible was not written by scribes. All of the wonderful deeds, and miracles, and great throngs of followers and the triumphant entrance in to Jerusalem, the rendering of the temple and the cruci"fiction", and the sky darkening for three hours , none of it is recorded. These people recorded everything of note in that entire region. The annals speak for themselves of their attention to detail. And yet, nothing of Jesus....nothing.
Your "belief" was hijacked by Paul and corrupted by the church. Things were added that strengthened the church and things that weakened their position was thrown out.
Don't tell me about the Bible...because the copy you so richly read is NOT the Bible.
And that's the name of that tune.
As for the DNA NON-SENSE....DNA like everything else on the planet EVOLVED. Only the ID folks think things can spring from nothing.
Please name what the bible has predicted..... I need a chuckle. I need a bowl... JESUS!
Maybe I should have said that the origin of the Bible is not with men. The God of Israel told the prophets what to write.Oh really? Who wrote it then? The Bible fell out of the sky? I missed that headline.
The OT (Old Testament) tells us who Jesus is. The whole freaking OT was about him. All of the Jewish Feasts and rituals spoke of Jesus, that was the whole reason for the feasts and rituals.Perhaps you mean the Ten Commandments? By the way the people of Israel, for whom it was written (with no proof that it ever existed) failed that test miserably. The old testament will tell you that much.

The bible doesn't say.
Why yes I have heard of the dead sea scrolls. As a matter of fact, there is a complete scroll of Isaiah (almost 2 complete scrolls, if I remember right) that was found at Qumran. This copy of Isaiah is THE SAME as the book of Isaiah I have sitting on my floor. To be more exact, the copy found at Qumran will translate exactly to what I have sitting on my floor.Have you heard of the newly discovered annals from a monastery twenty miles from Jerusalem?

That is up for debate. There are fragments of what seem to be from the NT that were found at Qumran. Remember, what we found at Qumran is not complete. It is quite possible that they did record things at Qumran that happened in NT times, but time destroyed them.Twenty miles away and these scrolls are very detailed about everything going on. These were the true scribes of that area. The Bible was not written by scribes.

Not true. Paul didn't write the OT. The OT is revealed in the NT. Paul only made things clear and explained things. Everything Paul said was totally in line with what was written in the OT.These people recorded everything of note in that entire region. The annals speak for themselves of their attention to detail. And yet, nothing of Jesus....nothing.
Your "belief" was hijacked by Paul and corrupted by the church. Things were added that strengthened the church and things that weakened their position was thrown out.
What exactly do you mean by 'EVOLVED'? Do you simply mean that DNA changed? If so, I agree. The point I am making is that the Darwinian mindset of Natural Selection working on random mutation can not account for the information content in DNA. That is science talking. Not much of a debate. That is why biologists have to resort to directed panspermia arguments for our origin because they know that Darwinian arguments can't explain the origin of life on the Earth.Don't tell me about the Bible...because the copy you so richly read is NOT the Bible.
And that's the name of that tune.
As for the DNA NON-SENSE....DNA like everything else on the planet EVOLVED.
How do they do that? What are you talking about?Only the ID folks think things can spring from nothing.
1. The fact that Israel would be back in their land that they lost almost 2000 years ago.Please name what the bible has predicted..... I need a chuckle. I need a bowl... JESUS!
Hindsight is the entire folcrum upon which the entire religion rests, isn't it?You don't even understand the time line of the writings of the bible do you? If you are talking Jesus, then you are talking the NEW testament, not the OLD.Maybe I should have said that the origin of the Bible is not with men. The God of Israel told the prophets what to write.
The OLD testament NEVER talks about Jesus. They talk about a messiah, but every religion has a messiah. So what? It doesn't mean they meant Jesus. The man who cannot be proven to have EVER existed.The OT (Old Testament) tells us who Jesus is. The whole freaking OT was about him. All of the Jewish Feasts and rituals spoke of Jesus, that was the whole reason for the feasts and rituals.
No, I'm talking about the ones they JUST FOUND SIR.... A monastery twenty miles from Jerusalem....and for the very first time ever, they are CURRENT with the time line of Jesus, and NOT A WORD.Why yes I have heard of the dead sea scrolls. As a matter of fact, there is a complete scroll of Isaiah (almost 2 complete scrolls, if I remember right) that was found at Qumran. This copy of Isaiah is THE SAME as the book of Isaiah I have sitting on my floor. To be more exact, the copy found at Qumran will translate exactly to what I have sitting on my floor.
If if if.... you went in a complete circle in that paragraph. It's completely impervious to logic. Your just guessing. If G*D wanted to send a message, he did it quite poorly. Why not now? Back when our nation was founded perhaps, or the renaissance. No, G*D chose a backwater extant of the roman empire 2000 years ago. As soon as this supposed miracles and crucifiction occurred, everyone promptly forgot about it. It took Paul to revive (and hijack) Christianity. For 40 years....nothing. That's some message. I know I know, G*D wants it to work that way.....Look. If God is smart enough to create the universe, He is smart enough to get a message to us. That is, if He cares enough about humanity to send us a message. I think He does. Why would He even bother to create us if He didn't care. He is not confined by the time dimension!
So we can throw that out....That is up for debate. There are fragments of what seem to be from the NT that were found at Qumran. Remember, what we found at Qumran is not complete. It is quite possible that they did record things at Qumran that happened in NT times, but time destroyed them.
Paul is the direct link and base from which all further gospels (by anonymous ppl) are written. Yet, Paul knows nothing of Mary or Joseph, or the nativity, nor the visit to jerusalem, or any of the miracles. So if Paul is the origin for the rest (and it is), how does all that stuff get in there 50 years later? Paul never heard of it, and any bible scholar will tell you that the other gospels all derive from Paul, because if there was one thing about Paul.... he liked to write. He is the BIGGIE, and his reputation is sullied at best by his contemporaries, including Peter, who banished him to antioch. The gospels are a complete mess, and were NEVER intended to be taken as HISTORICAL documents. They are stories...stories. It was the job of the SCRIBES (think historians) to mark the factual events of the day. Jesus? NOT A THING.Not true. Paul didn't write the OT. The OT is revealed in the NT. Paul only made things clear and explained things. Everything Paul said was totally in line with what was written in the OT.
DNA evolved from RNA, we are simply talking about acids here. DNA started out VERY BASIC and has EVOLVED to all sorts of complexities where nature needs it. Nature does not seek perfection. Nature just makes do. There are all kinds of dead ends. Nature doesn't care. This is all a petri dish to nature. There is evolution, but it's not perfect and it has no intention of bringing about perfection.What exactly do you mean by 'EVOLVED'? Do you simply mean that DNA changed? If so, I agree. The point I am making is that the Darwinian mindset of Natural Selection working on random mutation can not account for the information content in DNA. That is science talking. Not much of a debate.

1. The fact that Israel would be back in their land that they lost almost 2000 years ago.
2. The prophecy given to Daniel from Gabriel that gave the EXACT day that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey.
3. The hundreds of prophecies concerning Jesus's birth, life, and death.
4. The fact that technology would 'evolve' that could destroy all life on the planet.
5. The 7 letters to the 7 churches that Jesus gave John in Revelation. Jesus laid out all of church history from about 100AD to today.
I could go on and on and on, but you won't see such things because the god of this world has blinded you. Seek the truth and you will see.
What does it matter what we think we know? In the end, there is no denying the truth.
