| Quote |
I became a Christian at age 17 or 18, that was 30 years ago. It is real, and it changed my life, kept me out of trouble more times than I can count.
I have had angelic interventions that protected me - believe it or not
but i dont really want to go into that too much
I know the bible very well - not by like verse memory but by understanding what it means.
My prayers get answered usually immediately -
Feel free to ask me any reasonable question about the bible or what christianity is
Bible bashers might find another thread to get into, I wont respond to those. There are plenty of those threads |

God did - according to the bible, the people who wrote it (it is a compilation of writers) all were inspired by what is called the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is part of god, or one of his aspects.
"all scripture is from the inspiration of the holy spirit.'
there are no accidental inclusions into the bible (in my case its the King James bible) anything included in it was intended. Why? God chose to do it that way, using people.
there are fake bibles out there, tons of them. What distinguishes them is whether they can handle the truth or explain it well. Also prophecy in the bible happens as predicted, another signature of a divine author. |

Who were the wisemen from Matthew 2:2?
They weren't Christians, but they knew of Christ.
So who were they, and where did they get their information? |

WEll, there are several answeres to that, and that is a great question. For one thing, the bible says that man is made in gods image, so he chose to use men to write the scriptures - men who god uses and have faith etc. |

what happened to all the people who were resurrected with Jesus? Did they later die or ascend into heaven? How come we don't have any of their names? You would think a horde of resurrected people would cause more of a hubub than just once man being resurrected. So give us the lowdown on this since the Church doesn't seem to recognize these people much. |

sure, it would be for one thing, fulfilled propecies that were written well in advance of the event. The bible states that only god knows the future (to the extent it is discussed in the bible, even thousands of years in advance with specific details that happen exactly as stated).
The bible is about 2/3 prophecy by the way.
try any other religious book for that ! they dont even come close. I wont debate that either, this is just an answere here for you fro me. |

The dead christians are immediately given a new body which is as physical as yours now, only not weak and sick. The 'afterlife' is real and a physical location, it is not like some ghost existence. They are with Jesus immediately, and when Jesus returns they come back w Him. |

With respect for your beliefs, Blake, I think that the Seth Material is of more value to mankind and it should be taught in schools. It would change the world if people studied it.

You are not understanding. When Jesus was resurrected, a bunch of other people (saints) were resurrected with him. They went into town and were seen by others. The Bible doesn't say what happened to them. They could not have been Christians since they died before Jesus's time. So God resurrects non Christians? |

looks like a pentagram to me.

In Medieval Jewish, Christian and Islamic legends, the Seal of Solomon was a magical signet ring said to have been possessed by King Solomon, which variously gave him the power to command demons, genies (or jinni), or to speak with animals. |

Ok good for clarifying. There were something like hundreds of old testament saints that were resurrected with christ and walked around Jerusalem for 40 days. When Christ was finally taken to heaven I believe they went with him, but as I recall there is no specific other mention of that in the bible. |

In alchemy, the combination of the fire and water symbols (up and down triangles) is known as the Seal of Solomon. The symbol is representative of the combination of opposites and transmutation

As I recall Jesus is the morning star.
Actually, god follows the will of men in most respects, but uses authority when they do evil.
the bible is actually quite unrestrictive (after christ) of most human behaviors. the only forbidden things after christ came are fornication and eating meat sacrificed to idols. thats it, believe it or not. We are not under the Old Testament laws now.
Most people have a faulty idea that the bible forbids fun etc. it is the most unrestrictive 'religion' out there. |

Not sure what you are asking but, people who want to take advantage of me (happened all the time) are evil and so thats that - just life.
Why does god exist? well, that is an intriguing question. I dont have an immediate reply to that one, other than to say he says he existed in the past, present and future. probably one of those questions that are a mystery to our limited understanding. |

Blakey,
You must be joking right?
Christianity is the NARROW road, and few be that find it.
Jesus said if you even look at a woman lust in your heart, you have commited audultery. Jesus made it very clear that He did not come to destroy the law, but to fufill it.
1 Corinthians 6: 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind
Please preach the Word. |

Their actual names are not given, but trust me, you will know them when they appear. Theya re going to do a similar operation as moses did, calling down judgements on the earth and from Jerusalem from my understanding. they will be real people, and have supernatural powers (from god) and not be able to be resisted till their 3.5 year time is up. then they are resurrected and taken to heaven.
It is possible they were alive at the time Jesus was here too, ie not normally mortal, but I am speculating there, the bible is not clear on that. |
