NO NO NO The sign was the amount of TIME Jonah would be in the fish and Jesus would be in the tomb. Jonah was alive in the fish but Jesus was dead in the tomb. Three days and three nights means three full days and nights. Not parts of three days and three nights. This is how Satan has fooled...
I think children shoud be exposed to many different ideas and cultures. Reading a verse from the Bible or Quran or Gita will expand their views. This is good. Aclosed mind that is only exposed to one idea is like a bird in a cage. It cannot reach its full potential.
I also think no one should be forced to observe or pray to any god. But I also think that putting something like the ten commandments on a school wall does not force anyone to do anything.
Jesus is the SON of God. If a man has a son then they are not the same person. They may share DNA and other characteristics but they are not the same. If Jesus is the Son of God then he is not the same person as God. A man's son is a man from man. A God's son is a God from a God but he is still...

Thank you Metis. Once again you have raised an interesting point. Peter's faith was indeed great and would form an important part of the church. Was the church built on that faith? Who can say for sure? But something to think about and explore.

That is why we have juries. I am sure they heard more evidence than is available to the public. Then they decided the case. Of course some may have gotten cash from the trucking company to vote not guilty.
Satan loves the cross. When you see all these crosses with Jesus hanging on them it makes you forget that Jesus is not dead but is alive in heaven. Satan wants you to remember Jesus as a dead body on a cross.
There is noneed to keep going back and forth like this. I say there is no scripture that uses the word HEAVEN and says anyone has or will go there. They may talk about paradise or Abraham's bosom or God's kingdom. But no verses says HEAVEN is for people. You can end the debate be giving one...
Jesus will reign ON EARTH for 1000years. Rev 3:12 just says they will reign with Jesus. And even if it is not on earth, the verse does not say anything about anyone going to HEAVEN. You are reading that into it. None of these verses say anyone is going to heaven.
