Symbolism of the Fish Among the symbols employed by the primitive Christians, that of the fish ranks probably first in importance. While the use of the fish in pagan art as a purely decorative sign is ancient and constant, the earliest literary ref…

we have to remember also, the connection that Jesus himself made to fish. We should remember that He fed the 5000 with fish. After the crucifixtion, he ate fish with them. Fish is also an ancient symbol of Christianity, when the Christians were b…

well out of the two choices, adoption is definiately the best one. Even if I feel bad for the victims of rape, etc.. I cannot support the decision to kill the innocent child, if you don't want the baby, give him or her up, but don't kill it... It i…

V. Jesus Christ is Worshiped Rev. 4:9-11; 5:8,12-14; 7:11-12 - both Jesus and the Father are worshiped. The Greek word for worship is "proskuneo" which always means the worship of God. Matt. 2:2,11 - the magi who came to see the newborn Jesus came…

IV. Jesus' Miracles Testify that He is God Matt. 1:23; Mark 1:27,35 - Jesus was conceived in the virginal womb of the Blessed Mother. Matt. 3:16-17; Mark 1:10-11; John 1:32 - God's Spirit descends upon Jesus and the Father declares Jesus to be His…

III. Jesus Christ Claims to be God Matt. 4:7; Luke 4:12 - Jesus tells satan, "you shall not tempt the Lord your God" in reference to Himself. Matt. 5:21-22; 27-28; 31-32; 33-34; 38-39; 43-44 - Jesus makes Himself equal to God when He declares, "Yo…

II. Jesus Christ's Witnesses Claim that Jesus is God John 1:1 - John writes, "the Word was God." This is clear evidence of Jesus Christ's divinity. (Note: in the Jehovah's bible, the passage was changed to "Word was a god." This is not only an emba…

I. Old and New Testament Parallels of God the Father and God the Son Exodus 3:14 - God says "I AM who I AM" - John 8:58 - Jesus says "Before Abraham was, I AM" in reference to Himself. Deut. 4:2; 12:32 - the Lord God commands that we not add or ta…

some places in the world, nuns get raped by extremists. No way it was their fault... we shouldn't make blanket statements like that...
-
if people want to add their 2cents, whats wrong with it? I think you added some very good points. If we ended it at 5 pages, you wouldnt have gotten that in
-
wow, if the thread gave you a headache...maybe you should stop reading it... i think most people found it helpful... by the way i found far more ridiculous threads than this one...

i didnt mean to say he was a good man, I meant that he wasnt a Islamic extremist... he was a secular ruler not at all like the Taliban..

I am 100% against abortion, but I can see why some people have exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother... I feel for those in this situation, but two wrongs dont make a right. If a girl was raped and doesnt want the child, give it up…

I think it is very important to read this whole verse: ch20v4-7 4 Now Abimelech had not gone near her, so he said, "Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation? 5 Did he not say to me, 'She is my sister,' and didn't she also say, 'He is my brother'? …

actually there is a theory that the universe is geocentric on the earth... this theory suggests that the whole universe moves in relation to the earth... there would be no way to prove or disprove this, its like trying to figure out if the bus is co…

i'm with you on that one, we really have no way of knowing right now... and I guess it doesn't really matter... its like trying to figure out if the universe revolves around the earth, or the earth resolves around our sun...

thats your opinion, I tend to think we have much more in common...
