He is the God, not of the dead, but of the living.” 33 On hearing [that], the crowds were astounded at his teachingSo Jehovah is proven to be the same God as in the Hebrew scriptures in t he Greek Scriptures.His name never changed...Jehovah is called “the God of Israel” and ‘the God of their forefathers.’ (1Ch 17:24; Ex 3:16) Yet this intimate association with the Hebrews and with the Israelite nation gives no reason for limiting the name to that of a tribal god, as some have done.

Resolved Question: Agree or Disagree - "Myth: Atheism doesn't kill anyone."?

Atheism and politics was what most of the mass murderers of the 20th century were on about. Hitler was the only exception, but he didn't believe in the God of the Bible who chose the Jews from which he would bring the Saviour of the world, of Jews and of non-Jews. Jesus did not see the Jewish people as inferior, far from it. The Jews were people who received the saving message first. Therefore Hitler cannot be said to be Christian without completely distorting what the term means. Catholic and Islamic religion, and politics, was what the Crusades were about. Catholicism was what the Inquisition was about. This says nothing about Protestantism. Protestants were killed in the Inquisition for not being Catholic. Protestants were killed by 'bloody Mary' because they were not Catholics. People remove the atheism from the politics for the atheistic killings, and put the blame on politics. But people seem to ignore the politics of religious killings, and put the blame on religion. And then they say a non-belief in unicorns doesn't kill anyone to make the other side sound ridiculous, when in fact they are the ones that have said something ridiculous. The point is not that all non-beliefs kill people, rather in the language of William James, many non-beliefs are not 'living' ones - you don't choose not to believe them just like you don't choose not to believe the moon is made of green cheese. Also, one cannot kill from non-belief in unicorns because the non-belief in unicorns isn't powerful. A non-belief in God is powerful because it gives you a justification for destroying large institutions that religion has set up, namely 'there is no God and we should bring the shining light of atheism to the dark places'. This is represents Stalin well.Stalin "followed the position adopted by Lenin that religion was an opiate that needed to be removed in order to construct the ideal communist society. His government promoted atheism through special atheistic education in schools, anti-religious propaganda, the antireligious work of public institutions (Society of the Godless), discriminatory laws, and a terror campaign against religious believers. By the late 1930s it had become dangerous to be publicly associated with religion."Wikipedia. more

I don't support Obama but I am not completely convinced he is virtually a communist as this film portrays and YET...WHY would his mentors be SOOOO communistic and not he, himself, align his beliefs with them?Thanks...great, unintelligent answers as I expected from a bunch of liberals who can't construct an intelligent sentence.Reasons for being a republian? Hmm...hard working, govt doesn't deserve MY INCOME, not into meth, believe in the American spirit, not socialism...what's your reasons for being a democrap? Like handouts?Thank you Tatinia and Ryde for not making personal attacks and offering some intelligent perspective...appreciate it. more

Resolved Question: Restoration Branch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint vs LDS? (Mormons only answer please)?

I recently started attending the LDS church and I was originally part of the Restoration Branch. I am so confused about the differences between the two. I grew up in the Restoration Branch and thought that it was the orginal Mormon Church (which I believe it is). But then I just moved away to go to college, so I thought I could go to the LDS church. They started talking about BYU, temples, and all of these ordinances and rules that you had to follow to get into the temple that I had never heard of before. And then they were talking alot more about Brigham Young (who was a polygamist) and Joseph Smith was not. This is what really concerned me and having a University named after a polygamist really concerned me. Like they know that he was a polygamist but still try to cover up their history... Please give me some advice I am totally lost. LDS church just doesn't seem as right as the Restoration Branch. more

Resolved Question: What do you think of this illuminating statement of Irenaeus on the origin of the 4 gospels?

Iranaeus was a student of Polycarp (bishop of Smyrna), who was a disciple of the apostle John. "Now these, all and each of them alike having the Gospel of God,--Matthew for his part published also a written Gospel among the Hebrews in their own language, whilst Peter and Paul were at Rome, preaching, and laying the foundation of the Church. And after their departure, Mark, Peter's disciple and interpreter, did himself also publish unto us in writing the things which were preached by Peter. And Luke too, the attendant of Paul, set down in a book the Gospel preached by him. Afterwards John the disciple of the Lord, who also leaned on His Breast,--he again put forth his Gospel, while he abode in Ephesus is Asia." This is from "Against Heresies" written circa 180 ADSo it would appear to be the case:Mark was Peter's amanuensis and assembled the gospel from Peter's talks on various episodes in Christ's lifeLuke as Paul's doctor assembled those events that Paul mentioned in his gospel preachingMatthew wrote his account in a Hebrew formJohn wrote his in Ephesus@Lynn well some people didn't live long. I think they just needed to take care of their health in those times. Reading Roman books of the time in the past I have noticed that some people did indeed live long. The thing is that the average age was shorter, probably because if you lived foolishly you'd get killed by disease, because the doctors were not much good.Well John and Polycarp were exceptionally long-lived individuals, both on the lucky edge of the life expectancy distribution. Are you aware that population attributes typically follow distributions? Of course Asia Minor where John and Polycarp spent a lot of their lives was a very nice place to live in Roman terms, not some backwater like Britannia where life would be less pleasant because of the weather and grottier food and poorer scientific knowledge and more hazards. more

Resolved Question: Why does the Cherokee tribe seem somehow special?

Compared to the other tribes? Does the belief that they are of ET ancestry or Atlantis ancestry have anything to do with this? It just seems like everyone and their mom is part Cherokee... more

Resolved Question: What are Durkheim's views on religion and ritual?

I just read an article about Durkheim and the Assassinations of LIncoln and Kennedy as opposed to the deaths of other presidents. Durkheim states that we objectify people and create rituals to support them and thus explain or validate our ultimate realities through them. Unfortunately, without understaning them ourselves. more

Resolved Question: Were the people that formulated the Trinity Doctrine true Christians according to Bible standards ?

The Trinity Doctrine Definition: The central doctrine of religions of Christendom. According to the Athanasian Creed, there are three divine Persons (the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost), each said to be eternal, each said to be almighty, none greater or less than another, each said to be God, and yet together being but one God. Other statements of the dogma emphasize that these three “Persons” are not separate and distinct individuals but are three modes in which the divine essence exists. Thus some Trinitarians emphasize their belief that Jesus Christ is God, or that Jesus and the Holy Ghost are Jehovah. more

Resolved Question: What is the moral of the fairy ring legend? ASAP?

I am writing a paper on fairy rings. I've done plenty of research, also this is for an urban legend paper. I can't find if there is moral? All I can think of is not to enter where you're not welcome, considering most of the stories involve fairies inflicting harm on those who enter. If I cannot find a moral, I can write on the purpose of it. Why did this legend get started? If anyone has any tips it'd be great, thank you! more

Resolved Question: Is Pres. Obamas "Wealth Redistribution" Connected To "Retibution" ?

Pres. and Mrs. Obama sat in the pews od a church for 2o twenty plus years listening to Rev. Jerimiah Wright preach about "Black Liberation Theology". This "Black Liberation Theology" is basically what I would refere to as "reverse racism" as it teaches "hatered" twords "white" folks and that black folks deserve what is refered to as "retribution" which eerily mirrors Pres. Obamas beliefs in "wealth redistribution" by taking the hard earned cash away from white working Americans (21 new hidden taxes in Obamacare and removing the work requirement from welfare) and giving it to non working black Americans in the disguise of wekare and foodstamps. 47% (or more) Americans now recieve some form of government assistance and I would bet that a majority of them are black Americans. If you are going to VOTE for or you are considering to VOTE for Pres. Obama I encourage you to google "BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY" so that you may see exactly what our President was being taught over that 20 plus years of his life.His plan for "wealth redistribution" if he's re elected now makes sense due to the facts he was taught all about "retribution" and "hatered" against white Americans. more
