I am pretty open minded to the various possibilities that there could be to explain our history, and how we got there. The one thing I can't stand however is people who claim that their "religious beliefs" ARE the ONLY correct and viable option as if anything else is ridiculous. The truth is... NONE of us know, not one person here can make that claim or have that right to disrespect others opinion or belief, because that's all they are.I believe the bible is nothing more than an astrology book. G_D is the "sun", worshipped on "sun"day, provider of light, warmth etc. The devil, Satan is Saturn, worshipped on Saturday evenings. Over time it's been manipulated and used as a form of population control. That isn't a Fact, or how it is, that is simply my "opinion" and 'possibility', just like all religionsRadio Tube states it best: "I do believe" and not how it is
moses > jesus

Just don't go trying to force it on others because at the end of the day Jesus, Allah, Flying Spaghetti Monster are all just unproven stories that help people come to grips with the mysterious world around them, and aren't worth harming interpersonal relationships or important political progress in their name.You should believe in Yeshua. He's not just about Hope, he's about Salvation and how u should live and who u should strive to please. And personally I can't force him on the whole world, becuz in my opinion from the way the world is (human nature), we weren't all meant to be saved even tho we ALL have the option at some point in our lives. So while I can lead u to the water, i can't make u drink it. U aren't as dear to my heart as my Family is.... I hope that doesn't sound selfish.And he isn't unproven. There's actual records of his existence from back in tha day (his crucifixion) so it's not like he's a myth. Those records are actually the equivalent to something like today's CNN [News Journalism recording]. Not only that, I've seen him work for Me and other people as well (people I know/know of and complete strangers). I've seen everything in his name and in his ways work out better [like Rap music for example, the 90's had a HEAVY Gospel influence Sonically and Lyrically]. I've seen Wars in his name and seen who has won time and time again. Even if The U.S. "loses" the War in the Middle East, what about all of the times before that. I honestly really could go on & on. And lastly, I'd burn for Christ if I was standing in line for Judgement Day and it went down to that. And if you actually read more than The New Testament then you'd know why I feel that way. To each his own tho, if u wanna burn in hell then burn in hell. If not, then live for Jesus...Quote from: bouli77 on December 03, 2013, 04:16:00 PMQuote from: _RadioTube_ on December 01, 2013, 06:51:46 PMAnd to think, I was actually leaning towards being Muslim..... smmfhwould have made sense though, as Jesus is one of the prophets of Islam too. Very true. But they belittle him. He's The Son, not just another Prophet. There were hundreds of Prophets, but only ONE Son.Quote from: Mr. Bones on December 03, 2013, 04:33:10 PMIs it true Jesus was Chinese? No, he was Asian but not that type of Asian. He was Jewish. An ORIGINAL (bronze-skinned Jew). Not the Jew you always see with the blonde hair and blue eyes. In fact, how many Jews that's White that actually have Blonde hair and Blue eyes *but that's another story*

Because I fail to agree with you?You see people, this is a prime example right here of what is wrong with religion and people who believe that their opinion is right over others. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having faith, and striving to be a better person, with better ideals and vision. So long as it doesn't conflict with being respectful to others views, beliefs and opinions. The moment people become wrong, idiots, or lesser beings because they fail to agree with your newfound point of view, you have already failed. You have a lot of growing up to do kid, but wish you well on your journey. I have been around all kinds of religions, listened to different viewpoints on how we all got here, with some intriguing supportive evidence to a lot of those different points. Not once have I claimed that any of them were "wrong" regardless of what "I" personally believe. I have read a lot on Judaism, spirituality and of the bible too. Have listened to many Scholar's trying to decode the various versions of it. To 'assume' that I haven't ever picked up a bible or any pagan book some allege the text derives from is a bit impulsive on your part. You're better than that!

Quote from: Aladin on December 13, 2013, 08:00:08 AM "Truth has (now) arrived, and Falsehood perished: for Falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish."So since WE agree that Mankind has finite knowledge and God has infinite knowledge... Wouldn't WE agree that we can only understand but so much of what God is doing and has done? And that goes for Today, Tomorrow, and Yesterday...
