    The ACLU is at it again.

    After many Christians fought so hard for equal rights for all people, how can anyone deny that there should be equal rights? AlphaPhi is right - rights aren't there just for people you like, but it is equally important (perhaps even more so) that equal rights be given to people you don't like -...

    Books of Enoch

    I've been reading up on the Dead Sea Scrolls and 1 Enoch was found among them: From: http://religion.rutgers.edu/iho/dss_3.html

    KJV better then the rest? List your thoughts.

    Irwin Hawkins, Just a small point - the 'original' KJV (by which I assume you mean the 1611 edition) would have been pretty much identical to the ones we have now, just the spelling (u instead of v, for example) would have been slightly different. It would be a bit harder to read, but not...

    A call to urgency (Now THIS will get your attention!)

    blynn, I suppose it must depend on the person. I tried a Ouija board and felt nothing - though my friends did, another time - I had tarot cards, but couldn't figure out how to use them and thought they were boring anyway - horoscopes I've always thought were rubbish, I used to know a...

    About Jesus, I need help.

    rwc, I read the posts, but I didn't see anything particularly convincing that "Jesus" is a deliberate corruption to placate the Zeus-worshippers. My point was that "iesous" is the name the NT writers used of Jesus (or Yeshua) which would lead me to believe that they saw nothing wrong in not...

    About Jesus, I need help.

    rwc, The authors of the NT were Roman pagans? They deliberately misrepresented God by calling his son "Iesous" to placate Zeus-worshippers? :eek: :confused:

    A call to urgency (Now THIS will get your attention!)

    I think I tried those as well, when I was at school.... OK, so do you have any proof that a person who tries D&D, rock music or ouija boards, or tries to seek a spirit guide (is native american, comes from a neo-pagan family..) once becomes possessed by a demon?

    KJV better then the rest? List your thoughts.

    Yikes! In the third world, Bibles are so expensive few can own one, and it is their most precious possession if they can. They would take any translation of the bible they could get and rely on God to lead them - and you would deny them a Bible at all because they do not fit in with your ideas...

    A call to urgency (Now THIS will get your attention!)

    The trouble is, even reading fiction, or using your imagination, or writing stories as so many children do, can be said to be assuming an alter ego. I've played D&D - to be honest I found it boring - but it was simply a game, a fantasy game, yes, but not substantially different to writing a...

    About Jesus, I need help.

    rwc, As the Greek Bible refers to Jesus/Yeshua as "Iesous", then if the name is so important, surely you should refer to him as Iesous? After all, if the writers of the NT felt it was not wrong to call him Iesous (which was later transliterated into Latin and then English as Iesu/Jesu/Jesus)...

    A call to urgency (Now THIS will get your attention!)

    I've always wondered why people make such a fuss over D&D? Why should his mother be castigated for allowing him to have D&D parties at his house? Its just a game.

    A call to urgency (Now THIS will get your attention!)

    Whats wrong with beer at 16? We can legally drink beer/cider with a meal at 16 - though not by itself until 18. I don't think drinking at 16 is going to have been a major factor in his life, somehow.

    The disciple who leaned on Jesus Breast...

    Could be Matthew. After all, Matthew isn't mentioned by John, is he? We don't know it was John, we are only going on what Irenaeus said. Its just an unnamed disciple - some people don't even think he existed, that he's only in there as the "model" disciple for the Johannine community to emulate.

    The disciple who leaned on Jesus Breast...

    JohnR7, The Gospel of John does not say who the "disciple that Jesus loved" was - he isn't named at all. Might have been John, might have been some guy called Fred from Spain. We simply don't know.

    Or, this is how the camp has been seen from the photographs and statements released from the American government. I am not a supporter of terrorism. I am not a supporter of authoritarian, theocratic government. I am a supporter of justice. These men have not been tried - they are...
