quade 4 #26 May 7, 2008 Quote "I am that I am" I think you might be confusing god with Popeye. Look, it makes absolutely no freekin' sense that god would ever "work in mysterious ways" if, as you say he is the "God of ALL Gods". Let's just put that one to rest right now. If god were so vain as to repeatedly make that statement in biblical times, then why in god's name would he not simply be more obvious today? IF god wanted to send us a "message", he'd could easily just rearrange the stars and freekin' spell it out for us in unambiguous language. Something to the effect of, "Hey guys, god here. I just wanted to tell you all that 99% of you are full of shit and these guys over here on this little island are, in fact, the one true religion. Now stop being assholes and fighting wars over it. See! I just TOLD you what is the truth and now you can all go about your ant like existence and for christ sake stop giving money to assholes on TV." That's to say IF god actually existed and gave a crap about what we thought.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedRacer 1 #30 May 7, 2008 God was speaking to Moses at the time, who had been raised by polytheistic Egyptians. Some of their 'gods' had the head of a jackal or a hawk or whatever. When Moses asked him who he was (ie, "which God" as someone else asked) God replied "I am Who am!" IN other words, "I am THE ONE GOD WHO ACTUALLY EXISTS!"

I'm not sure hydrocarbons, or the lack thereof will have anything to do with th end of the world to the degree you mentioned, but i'm sure hydrocarbons will play some part in the demise of humanity, one way or another.

kelpdiver 2 #42 May 8, 2008 Quote The bible says the world will be destroyed the second time by fire, how much of the earth's surface burned up last year, and this year already? Did any? Remember, last year was a cooling year. May or may not be significant in the longer running trend, but definitely was colder. Seems more likely that god would send the hurricane/typhoons after us.

rynodigsmusic 0 #43 May 8, 2008 Quote What with the Tsunami of 2006 and now this cyclone disaster in Burma (Myanmar) killing tens of thousands of people. I was just wondering, does God have something against Muslims and military junta governments? Sure you can make the argument that the U.S. gets its share of disasters, just not with the amount of deaths like the others. I would just be careful with your words personally, remember the book of Job? It rains on the righteous and the unrighteous, what happens to one can happen to another. Its going to get much worse, and if your a bible believer, it wont get better until Jesus comes back."We didn't start the fire" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darius11 12 #47 May 8, 2008 I guess I am a bit lost here. The bible was not written by God right? And it was not written by Jesus him self. So why is what is said in the bible believed by some as if it was the word of God? Also how can you trust a text that has been changed and revised so many times? When it was changed and revised was it revised and changed by god or another prophet?I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chuteless 1 #49 May 8, 2008 Yes...the entire Bible was written by the Lord God Almighty. It IS His WORD, and not the thoughts of men. The definitive WORD of God is the Authorized King James Bible....NOT the New King James. edited for a spelling error Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #50 May 8, 2008 QuoteThe definitive WORD of God is the Authorized King James Bible....NOT the New King James. Why would a King of England be needed to authorize the word of God? Further, if the King didn't authorize a particular passage, what effect would that have had? Are translations into other languages also the word of God? What if a particular language didn't have a word that directly translated? Would a different word also be the word of God?quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
