Not everyone missed it...

Benjamin Franklin: "There never was a good war or a bad peace." Dwight Eisenhower: "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not...

And people thought Troy was a fictional place...until they found the ruins.

OK, but what about a VietNam situation? (Note:  I have nothing but respect for the soldiers who fought and died there.  Our leaders on the other hand...well...) I would defend the US with all I had. Rick Blaine: "Well there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn't advise you...

OK, I *think* I got your point...it is sealed in blood along the same lines as the old stories of signing your name in blood on a contract. Right? Thanks...I get your point now.

CC, thank you for your response. Feel free to lock the thread if you so desire. I saw the questions and thought "wow! I had those very questions...and I have gotten those answers...This might start a great discussion!" Fine. (not fine...Fine, Fin, the end, like in music.)

Look, I understand what you are getting at. If Osama bin Laden was born again, would you say that he was never a Muslim? One that I would prefer not to get into.  I know what I believed then, and I know what I believe now. If you believe that the sun literally rises in the sky and then you...

Thank you. I try. (Not to say I never get...upset...but I try not to.) I'll agree that some events are true, and have been verified. Others have not. Don't get me wrong...I am not one of those people that claim that there is nothing historical in the Bible. There is. As an example, I do not...

Fine. What do I have to do to be a Christian. Seriously. Belief? I believed. Confession of belief? I did that. Predestined? Not a clue. I asked Jesus into my heart, asked him to be my personal saviour. What more did I need to do? I am sorry to inform you, I was saved.

*sigh* The other thread. the "many questions" or whatever thread. Feel free to join in and spit on me there.

*sigh* Simply put, none of the others were contemporaries of Jesus. They never saw the man, never heard him, nothing. Thus, they are not primary sources. Josepheus from http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_jcno.htm Flavius Josephus: He was a Jewish historian who was born in 37 CE. In his book...

I may ask the others again, but I'll cut down the number of questions (down to 7). I am serious. Just because I pulled them from another page, does not make them any less questions I have as well.

Wow. I was actually excited when I saw there were more responses when I got on here. I guess that is what I get for being honest and revealing that I took some questions someone else thought of. I suppose that makes me worse than all of you who provide canned answers to my and timor's...

I'm really not trying to be stubborn. How does science prove it is a covenant sealed in blood?

Tried that...said I have to type a message.

Interesting...not the question I was expecting, but anyway. I will say it: The Lord Jesus.

Jesus and the law: Matthew 5 I am curious where the not allowing the death penalty comes from. The way I see it, either we are still under the law, we are no longer under the law, or we are under part of the law. The latter two need an explaination (especially the last one...because it...

So the Bible is NOT inerrant. That is, if Luke "forgot" something...then it is an error. 1. That brings an awful lot of incest into Jesus' lineage. I mean, if you follow it...then Jesus is the products of generations of incest. 2. Who cares what Joseph's lineage is? If he's not Jesus' father...

Gotta agree with you on that one...

If I did not respect CC and everyone else here, I would be a bit more explicit. I posted these as legitimate questions. I'll change it. EVERYONE ELSE: Skip question 16 for all I care. I find it interesting that if you look back, the three largest Portestant denominations split over the...
