If the bible was a continously written book over centuries.....what did preachers talk about when the book was only 30 pages long?
Church must've been really short....and repetitive.
***
If Lot's wife turned to salt...did the deer lick off her for a few years?
Does turning to salt complete the 'til death do you part'? and was Lot free to remarry?
***
How long would a bush burn? Moses must've had some good timing to catch it.
I count about a 3 minute window, if fully engulfed.
***
Why would God want the 'blood' of sacrifices poured on his alters?
Why not have the cows sliced up into some nice steaks as a sacrifice?
God: "I demand....T-Bones!"
***
God created the earth in 6 'days' and rested on the seventh....
On the 7th day,,,he was 'unproductive'.
Does this really count as a 'day', then?
Shouldn't the week only have 6 days?
***
How was the conversation between God and Lucifer after the 'Big War' and before he banished Lucifer to Hell?
AWKWARD!!
***
The trinity is The Father, The Son and The Spirit (shown as a dove).
Why a dove? Why not something cool, like a Bear?
***
Perhaps God isn't the 'Great Power' that we seem to think he is.
Perhaps he's a third grader and WE are his science project, and we've been stuffed in the back of his closet, under his hockey gear.....
The battle of the Heaven was actually a sibling rivalary, and his little brother isn't allowed to 'play with us' anymore.
***
(don't mind me. I'm just trying to give a comedic view on this stuff.....nothing is too serious, here.)

I think the conversation between God and Lucifer was just that of an uncooperative employee so God fired him.
So Lucifer stated his own business. Since the market was already cornered on saving souls he decided to go into the destroying them business.
The Dove represents gentle. (Not necessarily Gentile. ;D)
Kind of the same thing comedic relief.

The thing that gets me about the Evolution vs. Creation debate is that people seem to want to believe that we all suddenly came into existence at one point.
Is it so hard to believe that we have always existed? That there was never a point in time when things just happened? That there was no god that suddenly decided to create humans or a giant explosion that created existence? Why couldn't the universe have always been here?
The reason is that the human mind cannot comprehend infinity. Therfore, "GOD LOL" and "BANG LOL".

I do believe in God.
And Christians, and Hebrews alike believe it started with Adam and Eve.
I could bever buy the big bang theory.
I can see some evolutionary events through out time the horse and donkey creating the mule has been mentioned in conversations like this. The creating of mules is an evolution because mules themselves are not able to reproduce.
Stunts has a good point infinity is hard to comprehend. To think it never ends is somethow easier than it never started it was always there.
Why? I don't know.
But I can try it this way.
I am not dead so I have never ended not yet anyway. But I started in June of 1971.
I can remember being 3 or 4 years old. Not everything that took place but I do remember being those ages.
My father says that he did something in 1950. I was not alive 57 years ago but I can comprehend that. I figure myself, at 36 add the lifespan of a 21 year old and we have 1950.
You tell me the civil war was in the 1860s. That's 140 years. Not only am I not 140 years old I will not live 140 years but I still think I can grasp that.
Even 10,000 years.
But once we get to a high number of years I can kind of lose the concept. I don't know how many years that is but sooner or later when they say that the earth is about 4.5 billion years old. I don't really get that.
I can do the math but I don't really see it as I would see my other examples.
I could probably be more convinced to never end than it never started.

I am, in fact, religious.
But that doesn't mean I accept every word in the bible as fact, literal and inarguable.
There are places that contradict, etc.
But I do believe in Evolution and the Big Bang. Who knows why the big bang occured? Maybe it was two other universes colliding (in some kind of 10-d manifold)
Maybe that's what happens to everything that gets sucked into a black hole, it gets sent back to that point and comes out of a singularity.

Hmm, interesting concept, Brick.
From what I've read our universe was shrunken down to the size of a pin head and suddenly "Boom!"
But, shrunken down from what?
What if there was a universe before that and it all got sucked into a large black hole until, finally it blew up - like a baloon.
The universe is still expanding after several trillion years and should, theoretically, slow, stop and start to recollapse.
What if there was an Earth and Sun and stars before us and they were all crushed into bits and the whole process started again?
How many times would this have happened? And how different where the others?
It boggles the mind.

If he happens repeatedly until we get it right we would have virtual immortality right there. ;D

I don't see any difference between monkeys and humans
And the devil, the supreme evil being dedicated to the temptation, corruption, and destruction of man?
I don't think we need the help
