Phat, the Bible is more than one Book; it is a collection of
66 Books. It is the finished product of numerous authors, all led by the Holy Spirit of God. It is the most important Book in the history of the world. Itis not a science book, but it contains many claims that science has never been able to disprove. I have gathered information from many books during mylifetime. However, none of these other books were written with the same goal and purpose as the Holy Bible. Jesus loves atheists; He loves sinners; and, He lovesthose who ridicule Him. Jesus loves all of us. To love is at the very core of Hisdevine nature. The issue is not if Jesus loves us, but rather or not if welove Him. I have always kept firm in that God wants all of us tocome into the knowledge of the truth. And that in His own time God will open the doors of salvation to everyone. I have even answered one, if not the biggest deterent totruly being able to love God. And, that is: why does God allow so much suffering in this world? Since you do not accept much of the Bible, why does yourchurch state that He allows so much suffering. Why are there so many people that have never heard oftheir only possible Savior? What will be the end relationship between God and thesaved? You are not my enemy, Phat. I do not come to this site inorder to win a debate. And, you might think that I am at times arrogant. But, Iassure you that this is not the case. Arrogance is not a virtue; it is a vice. I simply speak boldly. I do not allow myself to be bulliedsimply because academia believes a certain way. If there were some merit, some evidence of evolution, I would not blindly dismiss it. And, yes! God commands us to love one another. But love does not consist of teaching others that is isacceptable to be an atheist. Love does not consist of telling others that God approves of those who violate His laws; statutes; and, Commandments. 2Corinthians 11:14-15 makes it clear that Satan and hisministers can appear to be righteous, and that their words can appears as righteous words. Solomon states in Proverbs 14:2 "There is a way thatseems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." The Holy Bible is God's instruction Booklet to us. When aministers teaches something that contradicts this instruction Book, he is to be rejected. In Luke 14:27-29 Jesus commands those who seek to beHis disciple to "count the cost." It is not an easy road to follow. In Luke 7: 46 Jesus declared "And why call ye me, Lord,Lord, an do not the things which I say?" Jesus states in Matthew 7: 21- 27 that not all who call onHim shall enter into His Kingdom. This is reserved for those who do the will of the Father. John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my Commandments." Some verses are so crystal clear that it takes a deliberateact to try and discredit them. 1John 2:3-4 "And hereby we do know that we know Him, ifwe keep His Commandments." 4. "He that says, I know Him, and keep not HisCommandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."

Are we called to give everything up? Whom do we give it to?

According to your holy book that Jesus dude did.
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

And as I recall, ringo used to tell me that he didn't have to do it because he was not a believer!
What about you, Dr.Jones? My "guy" always gets His way eventually, but He does engage in mental and spiritual communion with me. He never controls me like I'm some sort of zombie.

All I can say is that if you dont feel the need to give it all up, are you interested in acquiring more?
World War III, if it develops, will be a war of ideologies. Haves vs Have Nots. Western allies vs BRICS (Indirectly)Young vs Old. It will be hard to avoid. Any ideas on how to do it? As for the tooth fairy, she owes me. I never follow her commands...I simply ask where my 50 cent piece is. I've lost a few teeth since my youth and she stopped paying me.

Dwise, concerning message 3030 and your use of name
calling, much like kids do, it does not enhance your replies. Are you aware that when skeletal remains are discoveredthe sex of the individual can be ascertained? In most instances the race, and age can also be determined. There are many anatomical/skeletal differences betweenmales and female. I am not not certain that a Liberal would know this, but still there are differences. Males have stronger foreheads. They are higher, broader,and more protruding. Men have heavier browridges, which give them deeper set eyes. The generally smaller pupils in men give them a harder,more aggressive stare. Men have chins that are generally more squared. TheirJawbones are more angular than those of females. Female jawlines are more rounded and softer. Males have broader and stronger noses. Men have larger feet than do females. Some TV actresseshave feet that would make Bigfoot jealous. Men have larger, more robust hands. Generally. The indexfinger is shorter than the ring finger on Men. It is the opposite for females. In males the shoulders are wider than the hips. In femalesthe hips are slightly wider than the shoulders. Notice the difference in the way that males and females carry and move their arms, as well as how they hang from their shoulders. Many Hollywood starlets have shoulders that are muchwider than their hips. Many of these stars have hips that were not designed for childbearing. Females, because of their wider hips have higher Qangles to their legs. Q angel is the degree of angle between hips and knees. The Q angel resorts in a different walk for males andfemales. Males have greater hip ROM, whereas females have more ankle ROM-Range of motion. Men have greater bone mass; lower % of body fat; and,more lean mass. Look at the bodies of some female stars, such as Cherand Madonna. They have male bodies. 70 and 80 year old females are going to have cellulite. I lack the time to list more differences. But there are more. There are also many so-called male actors, politicians, etc,who were born female. They all worship Baphomet (Satan). To get somethingfrom Satan requires giving to him. God states that He made us male and (plus, also, in addition)female. Satan says that God is wrong. He says that we can be both-androgynous. Some microscopic surgeries have been performed sincethe 1930's. Males who want to have a more hourglass shape can havethe 11th and 12th ribs removed. Also, they wear tight corsets. Males can reduce the protrusions of their brow ridges byhaving their brow bones shaved. Males can also have their adam apple shaved. Many, such as the Kardashians, can have gratifying fattransferred to parts of their bodies, such as the buttocks, hips, breasts, etc... This can give the appearance of having larger hips. But, ifone notices, the hips of these individuals generally begin much lower on the body than female hips. Usually around the Adonis Belt. Notice how many of these stars and models pose withtheir body bent to one side in order to present false curvature. They also pose standing with their feet crossed in orderto present higher Q angles. I have learned to spot the differences. When this waspointed out to me years ago I did not just dismiss it. Many people, such as yourself, just blindly accept whatthey are told. As I said, I have more to say concerning this, but I wantto reply to another of your post as soon ad I can.

Jesus, it's a damn sight easier than that, girls wear pink and boys wear blue.
(Can't be completely relied upon though, here in Brighton - the gay capital of the UK - it can get more confused but as a general rule it's a banker.) btw, nearly forgot, why did your god make homosexuals (and paedophiles but I'm not making a connection)? You never got round to answering me dd you? Edited by Tangle, . Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian. I am Brum. I am London. Olen Suomi Soy Barcelona.

What disease causes you to focus so hard on other people's genitals? Are you a demented sexual predator or are you being an evil religious priest?

AZ, my focus is on deception. I never mentioned genitals.
Get your mind out of the gutter. Don't make an attempt to be funny. Trying to be funny doesnot negate what I wrote.

Tangle, I have answered you many times. If it isn't the
answer that you want, this is not my problem. Why don't you ever ask any big boy questions? You know,mature ones.
