Ezekiel 1 describes something amazing. What was it tho? I've heard it was actually a UFO! The account is very detailed, and i suppose you could say it was a UFO. Hewever, i'd like to know what you think. For those who don't know it, click on the link to read the account...
I'd like to get people's views on the subject. There are many bible's that don't include certain books as they are classed to be apocryphal, that is spurious and questionable as to their divine authorship. How do you feel? Do you feel that those books should be included in every bible or that...
Hi there,
sorry if i sound ignorant but I was wondering about some of the beliefs of Muslims. Is it true that the word Allah, is a tile, such as Lord or God, or do you believe it to be his personal name? Also, you say that the God of Adam and Eve, Abraham, Moses, Jesus was Allah and that some...
Yes, bit of a tricky one I dont agree that a religion should single out another religion in particular and condemn them etc, however, the bible says at Ephesians 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,. So from the bibles point of view there is only one true faith, or religion. This to me says...

what do you guys think? Looking at the scriptures in the bible that speak of God's kingdom ruling over the earth, i believe that we're now very close to the time when he will step in.
the book of daniel describes the world powers from the time of babylon right down to our divided world of...
The preface of the Revised Standard Version explained the the Y in YHWH makes the sound of J and the W the sound of V. So i wouldn't say that it is impossible to pronounce YHWH as Jehovah.
i asked him earlier and he wrote:
Hubris is a common theme in Greek tragedies and mythology, whose stories often featured protagonists suffering from hubris and subsequently being punished by the gods for it. In Greek law, it most often refers to violent outrage wreaked by the powerful upon the...
Yes I am. and thanks for the nice responses. i find it much better to discuss things in this manner, rather than having to on the 'defensive'. By the way, on your point about the substitution of YHWH, I've read that it was because of dogma or Jewish tradition that the name was removed, on the...
wouldn't that be great? yet that's not the way it is. so i would consider that to be 'scriptually dishonest'.
well, he was putting the verse in context with other verses on the subject. speaking of the sons of israel. anyhoo, to the exodus, and i don't really want to answer this one, cos i...
