raising3monkeys I've also often wondered what Jesus' DNA would look like. I'm sure it would be fascinating! Throughout the Old Testament, there were many prophesies about Jesus, telling of His lineage and place of birth. To a virgin, in the line of David, in Bethlehem,...

raising3monkeys I'm not sure that it matters what exact word was used in the text (virgin vs. young girl) since the rest of the story reveals that Mary was in fact both a virgin and a young woman. It seems that you're missing the forest through the trees.

raising3monkeys Here's a separate post for something you brought up earlier; what is it about the Bible that you've found that's full of holes or discrepancies after you've researched it?

raising3monkeys Yes, I believe in creation. Here's a question for you that's related to your original post. If humans did evolve, why did they evolve into two different sexes? Not to mention that no matter how far back you take the evolutionary process, everything...

raising3monkeys I definitely don't let faith come before reasoning. I've REALLY looked into Christianity in all it's aspects - Is there a God? Is there a need for a Messiah? Was Jesus the Messiah? Is Jesus God? Did Jesus really die? Did Jesus really raise from the dead? How...

raising3monkeys I always wonder about this sort of reasoning; about the "God just exists" thinking. I God exists, it/he/she must actually have some qualities, right? After all, it's GOD we're talking about here, and that being must have some preferred form (even if it is...

raising3monkeys The whole religion issue comes down to faith. You have faith that the Bible's not true, and I have faith that it is. We certainly cannot prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the other is wrong. Basically what you're doing in this thread is asking people...

raising3monkeys God is referred to as male because he says he's male. Now, if you don't believe in the Bible, then that's a completely different issue. But if you believe in the Bible as truth, God is very clear about who he is. He describes himself very specifically, down to...

This is something I've always been curious about. Judaism, Islam, and Christianity all derive their beliefs from some of the same historical sources. Exactly what differs in the three? What beliefs do Muslims hold that Jews do...

raising3monkeys Judiasm is at the heart of all three religions - or at least Muslim and Christianity grew from Judiasm. First there was Judiasm. In the book of Exodous it is told that Abraham (or Israel, as he is often referred to) has a wife and they cannot conceive a...
