    What does it mean to "deny" Jesus, according to the NT?

    You're right, as a translation, it's no good; there are many better ones. But it's beautiful, a true classic in the English language.

    Life after Death in Ancient Israel.

    Well, it seems to me that anyone who died would simply go to Sheol and that's it. Isn't that where Samuel was when the Witch called him up? But this should be a very interesting discussion which will show that the Bible is not one single, harmonised text. It's got many varying views!

    How Much History is there in Genesis?

    Thinking too much? Nah; continue thinking because it'll help you understand. Genesis could contain a bit of history, or it could contain none at all. But I think that it doesn't matter; for me, looking for real history in the Bible is kind of missing the point.

    Can I convert to your religion without believing in its miracles?

    Yes, you can. The Miracles are stories that can help us understand, but to require belief in them in a post-Newtonian world is a bit... counter-productive. To forbid belief in Miracles is the same.

    Inter-religion marriage

    I'll back you up here, saying that Waraqa ibn Nawfal was Christian, yet he did believe that Muhammad was a prophet. Religion encompasses both belief and practice. But, actually, mostly practice.

    So now I'm going for some contact time with God

    stephenw, my friend, that was beautiful. God is reality! I read things like "beside Him there is no other" and I take them as literally as possible; there is nothing but God! I don't know what to debate here. That's nice, but throwing Bible verses at someone doesn't constitute arguing with...

    The fastest Growing Belief System in the World!!

    Evangelical Fundamentalism, probably. :p

    Altered States of Consciousness

    I like Maslow's idea of "peak states".

    How many 'Sons' does God have?

    Did you copy and paste this list from a text that was written in the early 1800s?

    einstein a jew?

    He's the same kind of Pantheist as Carl Sagan is.

    What does "God is love" mean?

    "God is love" is tossed around a lot and doesn't really mean much at all.

    Bonjour798's Challenge Thread! Theists, Beware!

    Whence came the idea that posting quotes constitutes debating?

    God Made Sex Something Pleasant

    Well, if they were really straight, they'd find no pleasure in "same sex romps"! :p

    Ex Christians

    How do you guys spend, like, 50 pages going around in circles?

    How many 'Sons' does God have?

    I'm not so sure about that, either. But this isn't the debate forum.

    How many 'Sons' does God have?

    I'm inclined to disagree. I'd say that the number of Sons of God is always the same as the number of people, no matter what age. The difference is in the number of people who recognise that fact and live like Sons of God.

    Welcome! But this isn't the right place.

    Old Testament vs Jewish Scripture

    Umm... a quick check on Wikipedia would tell you that we HAVE included all of the Jewish Scripture as part of the Christian Canon. Well, all of the Scripture that the Rabbis agreed on, anyway. The "Old Testament" is, essentially, the Tanach. Actually... there are books like Enoch that most...

    GOD's mortality

    From what I've learned, Christianity is the same.
