    The Bible and its Contradictions/Oddities

    Ok, great, thank you very much Kimber1 and James! You have helped me quite a bit! Another thing I wanted to know is a double-barrel question, with the same sort of subject. When Adam and Eve were alive, and they had Caine and Abel, they also had other children, am I correct? And when God...

    The Bible and its Contradictions/Oddities

    Now I know it is wrong to use literacy books as examples because they are usually not true reflections of the Bible, but once I read a book where an Irish woman was giving birth and she was praying to one of her saints of "desperate causes". So she too would be asking that saint to pray for...

    The Bible and its Contradictions/Oddities

    Thanks James! Yes it does make sense! I always thought it was saying "Mary, mother of Jesus, please heal me" type of thing. I never would have put it into the context of asking other Christians to pray for you. :-)

    The Bible and its Contradictions/Oddities

    How do you, and why do you, give furbals? Dumb question, I know, but I am new here! Ok, so you would say for instance "Jesus, please cure me of this back pain that I have at the moment". Then to Mary "Mary, mother of Jesus, please speak to Jesus on my behalf and ask him to cure me of this...

    Jesus and his youth

    Sorry, but what are the omitted books of the KJV? Does this mean there are other books out there not accounted for in the Bible that we know today? And how is it possible that Jesus stayed Jesus if his parents were not "of God" and would have sinned every day of their lives? Would Jesus have...

    The Bible and its Contradictions/Oddities

    I totally agree with you on this aspect. I feel very uncomfortable when it happens. And this feeling happens when I am supposed to be in the house of God! It doesnt make sense to me that God would make me feel uneasy in His house when I should be feeling something special out of my unique...

    The Random Facts You Were Completely Oblivious About Until Fairly Recently Thread

    An octopus has 3 hearts and an electric eel can produce enough electricity in one shock to light up an entire house!

    The Bible and its Contradictions/Oddities

    Oh great! Johannesburg is the centre of our country. All business no pleasure there! Much unlike Durban, which is where I am. So technically, the important parts are for the majority the same? We all have the same basis on which we build our faith? Another question I have is about how...

    The Bible and its Contradictions/Oddities

    So what you are saying is that they are ultimately different? Or did they just divide the words up differently, one having more separatedness than the other? But if they are different and have fewer or more books, then which one is the right one? Which one do you read? And are we assuming...

    The Bible and its Contradictions/Oddities

    Sorry, another thing. If you take a verse in the Bible and interpret it in any way that you want to, is this not considered going against what God says, in that His word should not be changed or interpreted to suit anyone? And what of stories that the Bible has been altered by the Roman...

    The Bible and its Contradictions/Oddities

    Thank you for your help guys. There is another thing that is also confusing to me, this Rapture that everyone talks about. What is it really? I have been told that it is before Jesus returns, where people will just disappear. They are there one minute, and the next not. Is this a story that...

    The Bible and its Contradictions/Oddities

    Thanks FerventGodSeeker. I understand that we all have sin in our lives, but what confuses me the most is that if God wants us to come to him out of our own free will, why cant he make things a little more simple so that we can make an informed decision? I dont like the idea of believing in...

    The Bible and its Contradictions/Oddities

    Hi All, What I want to know is, why are there so many contridictions in the Bible? An example of this is where God talks and almost condones slavery of other people, but in the New Testament, Jesus talks about loving everyone, including your enemies? Another thing that confuses me is the...

    Myths/Rumors about your religion that just aren't true.

    So basically we are looking at a religion that focuses on YOU, YOUR FAMILY and LOVED ONES. No one else? Please, please please dont see me as being judgemental or arrogant, but I really dont know what it involves so I hope you dont mind me asking you a few questions? Like, do you do Satanic...

    Myths/Rumors about your religion that just aren't true.

    Thank you GenToo, much appreciated. I do, however, have another question then. What is Satanism then? This question it not necessarily directed at you, but to anyone who can help me. Thanks! ;)

    Revelation Explained

    When you started this thread you said that you would be guided by the Holy Spirit to give the answers that everyone was looking for. Then you go on to say that these are your truths, take it or leave it. So are you telling the truth or not? I am almost certain that God says in the Bible that...

    Did Jesus Die For Everyone's Sins Or Only For Those Who Believe In Him?

    But that still doesnt sound right. Jesus supposedly died for everyones sins, he did it because he loved us so much. And that once it was done, everyone would recieve the Holy Spirit to guide them in their faith. I think I was sick that day because I still aint got no Holy Spirit! And it is...

    Affirmative evidence towards creationism

    Even if it were possible to prove such things I would still be skeptical. It seems to be that a more reasonable explanation would be that a human being witnessed these events and created a “God” myth to explain them. I tend to agree with you on this point, and I sometimes wonder if...
