Hmmmm Alan I am sure your word of God says not to judge. Yet you are judging me vile. My interpretation of judging is different than yours. I will never profess one is going to Hell that is Gods purpose. My OPINION of you is that you are vile with the words you use since your agenda is to take the Bible which I believe in and blaspheme everything it contains. Since I know myself and you never will I always thought your intelligence was low but this statement enforces my thoughts about you even more. Using the words never will is pure stupidity, it just shows what a one track mind you really have. There are millions who had faith in that lottery. Right and their are millions who lacked faith and lost it all. You see from a one sided view the same as me. Yours is based on faith. Mine is based on knowledge. LOL What knowledge heck you do not even know were you came from. When your dead all your knowledge will die with you since your BRAIN if you have one ceases to exist. I can see you on one side and a simple farmer on the other you will be feeding me with all your poppy cock and the farmer will feed me with hopefully some friendly nature and wisdom. Until you can reach a new paradigm of thought you will never understand other humans religions. Most religions are derived from the Bible so who are you to talk about understanding religions since the Bible to you is a book of poppy cock. Sam you need to stop talking you keep sticking your foot in your mouth. I do understand my lack of perfection Well at least I can agree with that and it may surprise you that I realize I am far from being perfect as well I only differ on how to deal with my imperfection by laying in on Jesus shoulders you on the other hand are trying to work out your own solution I find that pretty impossible when your first breath is something you cant remember and your last breath will be the end of whatever knowledge you physically tried to achieve.

Sam, This is from Nancy. I have studied to some extent other religions before I became a follower of Yeshua. My decision was based on the teachings and reality of Yeshua and that came from His word. Without the word of God that so many try to discount and say is not the truth people would not have a clear understanding of right and wrong and of goodness. The laws in our country are based on the 613 laws of the Biblical Law of Moses. Other religions are for the most part copies of Judaism in their laws and concepts. Judaism was the first monotheistic religion that believed in One God over all creation. See if we just follow with our heart and not check it with the Word of God we are vulnerable to deception. Study is not a 100% gaurantee of not being deceived but with prayer and study we can have confidence that He will guide our paths to truth. The kind of faith that would lead a person to invest in the lottery is not faith but a spirit of testing God. The faith of God is in the wilderness when they went hungry to learn to trust Him. What a gift, to totally trust God and not have to buy that ticket but work hard and watch God. The Bible says the FEAR of God is the beginning of wisdom. That is a teachable spirit that is humble before God. We have faith Sam but also knowledge from the Word of God the Creator of the Universe and that is the only knowledge needed to obtain true wisdom. Read the book of Job and see if you can answer Gods questions to Job. Can you tell Him how the Ocean knows where to stop or when a goat is ready to give birth etc.. When you can answer these questions you will be able to question God. Nancy

The accounts of the crucifixion are differently related in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Time of the hour, weather conditions, people in the tomb, etc. Matthew tells us of the earthquake -- that the rocks rent -- that the veil of the temple was rent in twain from top to bottom -- that many of the Saints came out of their graves after the resurrection, and went into and appeared unto many. The other three failed to report it all. Even John who details all right down to the crucifixion down to the burial, never mentions a one of these things. If it were true these had happened, & the writers had lived at this time and were the persons they were supposed to be namely the four Apostles, it was not possible for them as true historians even without God's inspiration, not to have recorded them .If they were facts,they were too unusual not to have been known. Earthquakes are a natural event but those graves opening themselves andand reviving the dead Saints is a supernatural event that would point to the truth of their Apostleship and doctrine. If true it would have filled those books and been their chosen theme. Instead we get little trivial information in tid-bits of he said this and she said that. The other three either never saw it happen or were not present. Its easy to tell a lie but very difficult to support the lie after it is told. The writer of the book of Matthew should have gotten their names and told of their entry into the city and how people reacted to them. He would have told whether they were clothed how their body was checked to be sure it was a human body like they poked in Jesus side after the resurrection. The purpose of their return and how they readjusted to the times. What happened to them afterward? Did they re-enter the grave and close it, were they still dressed, were ther any women and the thousands of questions anyone witnessing would ask. Surely these men being prophets had much prophecy to relate. Strange they left none. Very strange they never related what had happened to them while on the other side. No wonder these people want to accept blind faith over reason. No sane man could buy this garbaged exaggeration. Yet they claim I am nuts. Well guess they are coming to take me away! ha!ha!
