I would say you live by faith in God and the faith of God (NOT my faith).

I would NOT say you are different -- my thoughts would be: "He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone" (the words of Christ, and Christians are supposed to have the mind of christ!).

And YES, I can't fully abide by the laws of the Bible, but I can certainly TRY to. YES, we have "these old scrolls written by man's hand", but pray tell me, if you search all of the world's literature, philosophy, or whatever, can you find anything more resonable, just, fair, and truthful than the words of Christ?

It is said that nothing in world literature is greater than the Sermon on the Mount, Christ's great presentation of the principles of the kingdon of God. (Matt chaps 5 through 7).

Wow another person with a free thinking mind. "Those who say they know, don't know and those who say they don't know, know" (I think the gospel of Thomas, Gnostic gospels)

Vicky, do you know of any other religion (except Christianity that has prophesies which tie in with God's words as well as world events?

Which of the Creators words and which world events world events??

I am saying that there are prophets in the Bible. These men, like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, etc, were inspired by God to write about events which would take place in the future. And most of the things they wrote about centuries ago have already happened in our world! God showed them what will happen LONG before the time. I am asking you if there are any such persons in the other religions beside Chrirtianity?

Have you ever read or even heard about any of the other religions which have Father, Son and Holy Spirit who were ever living and have ever been alive?

Most all religions have had living messengers. Mohammad, Buddha, and so on.
Other wise how would people know of them? Look at how many religions where the Creator is female. For me the Creator is neither male nor female and yet both in 1. I don't think the Creator needs a sex organ. Also to me the Creator lives in everything.


Yes, I know that there were messengers. Mohammed, Buddha -- they are the Gods of those religions, just as Jesus is the Lord of Christianity. But have you ever heard or read that any of them are alive today? As far as I know they are all dead! (I have not heard of any religions headed by women -- would appreciate it if you give me one or two so I can do some research).


You talk about people believing a lie if it is told long enough. There is also the situation of people being greatly riduculed and scorned (even in modern times) for telling the truth -- even for introducing inventions for the betterment of mankind! The world is replete with this.!

Ok Vicky, great!

On another post, you gave us all this great big task, ie, to prove the Bible is the word of God. (I am gradually working on it).

Could I give you a much easier task?

Can you in all your wisdom prove that the Bible is NOT the word of God?

(At times Jesus Himself answered a question with another question).

It quite impossible to prove a negative! :confused:

It is not hard to prove it is not the word of the Creator. Name the version of the Bible you want me to prove is not the word of the Creator.


Please understand I belive the Bible and many other writings contain the word of the Creator.

Let me ask you this are unicorns myth or fact???? Please answer this 1.

You are so right Koolbonze. middle eastern people (majority) are not white.

True, but they are not black either! There are of Mid-Eastern decent and are what they call "olive skinned." Why movies cannot portray Jesus that way is because most people have seen so many "pictures" of Jesus as white that they cannot accept anything else. Silly! But there it is!

very boring movie... how could they make a movie about a person getting physically abused from begining to end and say it's a good movie? mel gibson did not even first build the character of Jesus so at least i could feel some compassion. mary was not 'holy' enough or convincing, very poor acting.
i've seen movies about Christ way back in the 60's that were 100 times better than this.

Poor Mel! He has discover the truth of the old saying “In vino veritas.” (in wine there is truth.) In short - drink enough booze and the truth, one’s real feelings, come out.
