    Akhenaten: Failed Prophet of God?

    I want to make sure that people know I'm not claiming Aten is God, I'm simply intrigued by the very possibility. If he had said it was the god of the Hebrews, would the religion have lasted even 20 years? He weaned the Egyptians off of polytheism slowly, taking 9 years just to get to the...

    Akhenaten: Failed Prophet of God?

    It seems people are caught up in the name "Aten", as if we know God's real name. We don't even know today how to pronounce YHWH (we guess Yahweh); we also know him by Elohim, Adonai, and Jehovah. Even YHWH means basically "to be" and when asked to identify himself by Moses he simply identified...

    Mental picture of God

    I honestly do not form a picture in my head when I think of God. What do you expect me to say, I think of Morgan Freeman?

    mormonism

    I don't have a problem with the "Jesus was created" thing, many early Christians believed the same thing and I consider Unitarians (though not Unitarian Universalists) to be Christians. The part I have a problem with is that God was once a mortal, he's only the god of Earth, and if you're good...

    Mental picture of God

    I don't even try, He appears as he wants to appear and is without form at the same time. He just is. I think the whole "made in his image" thing refers to our soul not our bodies.

    Akhenaten: Failed Prophet of God?

    One of the lost religious visionaries of history is Akhenaten. I'm sure many here are familiar with him; for those who aren't he attempted to institute a monotheistic faith in the god "Aten" and initially saw success. Unfortunately his faith did not long survive him and he was purposefully...

    Bible Study Luke 20: 27-40

    I'm honestly confused by this passage, Jesus doesn't seem to answer the question at all. Does anyone else get it? http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+20%3A27-40&version=NIV

    Bible Study Mark 8:34

    Seems pretty cut and dry to me. Stop thinking so much about yourself and follow the Word.

    Employment

    How do you expect to survive? Do you expect the rest of us that DO work to support you? That sounds like an extremely selfish lifestyle.

    Do we still have quality music today?

    Music died in the early 90s, gangsta rap killed it. Someone good occasionally shows up, but they're few and far between.

    Do you see "paper" books/materials going obsolete in the next few decades?

    Paper books will go the way of the record; they're still around but they're a niche item for those few who prefer them.

    Bible Study Has Judas Iscariot gotten a bad rap?

    Lately I've been wondering if perhaps the NT's greatest villain was instead Jesus' greatest apostle. The story of Judas as a betrayer simply doesn't add up to me. 1) He was entrusted with the disciples' money pouch. This was no small sum of money, when the 5,000 were hungry the disciples...

    This Tithing Thing ~ what do you say?

    Tithing is also something I have a problem with. I don't make much money, due to a garnishment for student loans my take home pay is less than what the average person on minimum wage makes. I truly struggle just to make ends meet, tithing is simply a burden I can't afford. I used to make...

    Going to a prostitute

    Of course, he continuously and unrepentantly violates God's law. It reminds me of some gangbangers I know. They go to confession and claim that at that moment they are truly repentant for what they did, but then as soon as the walk out the church doors they go right back into the lifestyle...

    One World Religion Takes Hold in America

    You're applying rules of the modern world to a conflict 1,000 years ago. There weren't any communications, logistics were a joke, crusaders didn't act any differently than every other army of their time. Even in the 19th century armies supplied themselves largely through looting. One of the...

    One World Religion Takes Hold in America

    War is Hell. There's never been a war where innocent people didn't die, that doesn't mean the war wasn't worth fighting. The Crusades in the Middle East ultimately failed, but they were worth fighting. We succeeded at least in driving them from Spain and Italy. Despite the failings of men...

    One World Religion Takes Hold in America

    I'm not even sure if this is directed at me or not, it doesn't seem to jive with my comments but it also doesn't make sense for others; so I'll assume it's directed at me. What are you talking about? I'm referring to the true crusades against the invading Islamic armies, there was no crusade...
