Often times, storytellers would use epithets to help them remember people's names and what they had done that was significant (ex. Homer refers to Odysseus as "the great tactician"). Bear that in mind; I won't say anything more on that, as I have enough tact not to do so.

The Quran lists Jesus as a prophet. They are utilizing his teachings as well. Muhammad preached the same thing as Jesus; they are both Abrahamic religions, like Judaism. My opinion on that one is that they are one in the same.

Thomas actually traveled to India and spread the word of Jesus along the Eastern coast. Again, because of cultural dispersion, it traveled around a bit. Interestingly enough, Buddhism preaches ideals similar to Christianity. However, because of the Hindu influence of the region, there is a bit of a regional twist on things.

Fun fact: Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism were once all seen as cults when they were started.

Just a few thoughts of my own.

Interesting. I was not aware that Moohamed and Buddha preached that the way to eternal life is by accepting Jesus Christ as your LORD and Savior.

John 14:6
Jesus said unto him, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.

I feel like my IQ just dropped 10 points after having read your post. Are there any more examples of your astonishing ignorance you would like to share with us, foolish woman? If not, then please shut your mouth. This is a Christian forum.

I Timothy 2:12
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

Ahem. This forum is a church forum where True Christians™ come to praise God's Glorious Name. This is NOT a liberal college green where young people come to smoke dope and think what they think are deep thoughts. As a real church, we do not get our theology from a woman.

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. (1 Timothy 2:12)

Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. (1 Corinthians 14:34)

To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. (Titus 2:5)

If you want to know what happens when someone listens to a woman's theology, ask Adam.

I agree with my fellow Christian even though I haven't read the bible. If you are gay, you are going to hell! God will punish black people for refusing to be our slaves. Like how god made the earthquake in Haiti cause the refused to be our slaves too. After all, Jesus made the United States first. I also believe that dinosaur bones are a hoax by the CIA. We also need to psychologically abuse our children by threatening them with an imaginary hell. I love my guns and I love my country.

Don't be silly. CIA did not exist in pre-flood era, but dinosaurs did.

Job 40:15-18 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

Did man exist along with dinosaurs.... did we herd the dinosaurs as if they were our cattle?


I believe that the dinosaurs died out because they were failures of God's creation and that god gave us guns so we can dominate over all the world

Of course. Now, get a grip, heathen! This thread is not about dinosaurs, for all info and more you can find from creation science section. Like this great article about Kangarosauruses.

9\11 was also a wake up call to America about all of the Sinners in the world that needed to be cleansed for abandoning jesus, their superhero

Jesus is loving and forgiving. The only way we shall be saved is in the warmth of his frothy joy.

That is true. Jesus is very definition of forgiveness. All the injuns, mudslimes, catlicks and other heathens just have to stop with their disgusting ways and start following word of God, and Jesus will forgive them. If not, He will throw them in hell.

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Normally if a police officer would check the confessions of a criminal group, he would interview each member seperately and check the stories for contradictions.
Based on the contradictions he would determine the credibility of the confessions.

Watch the following video keeping that thought in mind:

Rather than wondering if the bible is the only REAL truth, I'd say the bible is not correct at all.

Hi God-mocker. I don't see an introductory post from you. Would you be so kind to post one so that we may learn more about you.

Unless you have come here to learn about Jesus and His truth (which is in the King James 1611 Bible) so you may turn from your disgusting ways, have fun burning in Hell come judgement.

History is not on your side, friend.

Predicted ca. 855 BC: The prophet Elijah predicts Jezebel would be eaten by dogs upon her death in Jezreel. (1 Kings 21:23)– Fulfilled ca. 841 BC: Jezebel is killed in Jezreel and dogs eat her body (2 Kings 9:36).

Predicted ca. 760 BC: Amos predicts Israel would be restored as a nation and would never be uprooted again (Amos 9:15)–Fulfilled in 1948.

Predicted ca 732 BC: Isaiah predicts the Medo-Persian empire will conquer Babylon [Isaiah 13:17-18] and Babylon would become a wasteland.–Fulfilled in 538 BC when the Medes took over Babylon and 275 BC when the Seleucids forced all of the inhabitants to leave.

Then why are you here?

This forum is for True Christians to praise JESUS and preach His word.

You have nothing to contribute.

Go away.

Of course the predictions in the bible will be fulfilled in a later part of the bible, that is not the point. Based on the contradictions in the bible I take into account the possibility both the prediction and the fulfillment did not actually happen, but could be made up later on.

I've read the rules and I am under the impression that atheïsts are not unwelcome per se, if they remain calm and respectful towards the True Christian™ members. I am not attacking your beliefs directly, but I'm wondering how you deal with contradictions in bible verses. How do you decide which of the verses apply?

You know I've been a cop for years, and I don't do any of that.

It's honestly just easier for me if I go with my gut instinct, because I have never, ever been proven wrong by any of the people I've arrested.

God gives me all the evidence I need for an arrest in my heart.

Luke 1:32

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give to him the throne of his father David:

Luke 1:33

And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

This clearly states that Jesus will sit on an earthly throne since David did rule in Jerusalem, and that he would be the king of Israel. But when responding to Pilate Jesus says in
in John 18:36 " Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence"

Is that fulfillment of prophecy?

Can you predict the future ? How do you know it will never be uprooted again ?

The Bible says so, DUH.

(Psalms 33:4) "For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth."

Well, your opinion does not matter because you are damned, and are going straight to hell.

2 Thessalonians
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
