both are pretty stupid.................................
haha yeah! twilight is so stupid! XD he takes of his shirt and... and... HE SPARKLES! ooh, so manly and scary. (i hate all twilight stuff, everyone in it, and almost everything relating to it, etc) but if i had to choose between jacob and edward, it would be jacob all the way. Jacob can turn into a wolf anytime he wants, he has claws, and teeth, and strength, and a thick hide. stephanie meyer KNEW that vampires suck on their own, so she added super strength, super speed, the eye color, etc. (yes, vampires get strongER at night, but they dont hav super strength). WOLLVVVVEEESSSSSSSSZA!
Werewolves all the way. they can fire guns and use weapons (hello! they're only werewolves by a fullmoon/night/whenever they want or whatever). They arent hurt by the sun, have thick skin and arent injured by anything (except a silver bullet, but even that has to shoot something vital). They have the muscles, the claws, and the fangs.
Vampires are wimps. they have to be up close range to kill (unless they have weapons). They cant be in sun, they cant fly (well they can in bat form... when they're too tiny to do anything), and they dont get along with garlic, the bible, and holy water. anyone can kill a vampire with a weapon (i dont buy the stake in the heart theory... a nuke or a machine gun would take care of a vamp... or garlic XD). They dont have super strength... so why are they so special? whoever came up with the stereotype for vampires really wasnt smart about it.
Werewolves originated from two sources: 1). in the old times, wolves had a serious problem with rabies. the most famous was the Beast of Gevaudan. it was one of the largest wolves on record, and killed hundreds of people. Finally, it was shot with a silver bullet. this is where we get the theory that werewolves are killed by a silver bullet. 2). lycan is the term for wolf in latin, and were is the term for man in latin. Lycanthropy is a rare disease that gradually makes the victim's mind rot away and be replaced with that of a rabid wolf's (or people were bitten and became rabid). both were huge outbreaks in the 1700's. So, grown men would leave their homes and live in the forest, attacking people with their teeth snarling and frothing at the mouth. So, we get the term Were-wolf, due to the fact that men would act like a rabid wolf or had rabies. just for knowledge that some fat, pimply geek didnt write a comic and somehow it became so.
today i learned why scientists and christians (or people who believe in a higher power in general) dont get along. I'll just give you a basic summary.\
During the medieval times, catholics and christianity were a huge influence. The churches were so obsessed over who believed in what (i think people can personally believe what they want, but using only knowledge and NOT force, people can persuade others) that they would kill you if you defied them. The Muslim people forced others to convert, and this launched the crusades. NOW, more than 90% of Europeans were christians. One half believed that science was directly linked to God (their point of view would be "God directly created science and the idea that he is not real by logic to test our faith". these people would later become the athiests who must live by logic). The other half belived that you do not need logic at all and your life should directly revolve around Christ and God (these are our die-hard, awesome christians out there! their point of view would be "science is irelevant when you have all you need in the Bible). BOTH OF THESE POINTS ARE TRUEEE!!!!! but they were argued over for hundreds of years to the point that they both seperated. the church basxically was so anal about it, they seperated their own.
Hey! sorry i was in california for the past 2 weeks. So it looks like we havent had many/any recent debates... sooo... im here!
once again, we pretende to drink his blood (wine) and his body (bread) to honor him dying for us
well, from what i see, he is just asking reasonable questions and trying to learn a little about Christianity. God/Jesus are NOT needy and do NOT need attention. He and his diciples spent their ENTIRE life preaching the word of god, taking care of people who were poor, sad, angry or just having a bad day. They were the most selfless people on the face of the earth... i dont see where people get that he was needy and self-centered...
yes, i did, because i dont need arrogant loud-mouths who dont know jack about the Christian faith to rag on it :)
1. so he is indeed all powerful :)
2.not true! god sees us all as equals, from a criminal to a priest.
I think you got a little confused... those two things are very similar. he looks in both.
3. he died for our sins so we can ask for forgiveness when we commit these sins. Satan also plays a part in our sins. God doesnt want us to be happy without actually working for it and earning it. That is why he sent his son to die for us.
Jesus was born without sin or temptation. he forgave the same people who tortured him.
you know this isnt just for discussing christianity :) you can talk about problems and people can give you solutions :)
in the rules, i state that i dont really want people just ragging on it for the heck of it (or to be rude). It is a debate. Im not going to ban people who just say "thats stupid!". i will ask them WHY, and if they just be mean just because, then i dont need people fighting and argueing on this debate. Who are you to report me, hm? i will preach as long as i can... anyone on this site should also spread the word of christianity if they really believe :) who cares if i get reported? im willing to take a stand. Jesus was beaten, cut, and mocked, and he continued to preach even when he was nailed to the cross. Me on a little website like this and getting reported is nothing compared to what Jesus did.
people have the choice to go on this site, do they not? Report me then... im just trying to do some good :) sorry i accidently hit the ban thingy a few times (i thought my computer was being slow and i clicked it)... how do i un-ban people?:)
Haha thanks... here are the answers to your questions:
1. God/Jesus can create anything he wishes. He is GOD, but he is also all-powerful. He can lift anything he creates, for he is God. There is nothing more powerful then him. he is the strongest force of all, including Jesus Christ (well the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are all basically one). So, god could create a rock of any size and be able to lift it.
2. God does not wish to send people to Hell. he gives you a choice- you can become a good Christian (or Catholic, but i really dont know much about the Catholics other than it is similar to Christianity), or you can do what you want and be punished later. there is a verse in the Bible (i will try to find it for you) but it states that if you disobey God, a greater evil will punish you, not God. You could live your whole life being the worst person in the world, and on your deathbed, if you truely do want to believe and regret what you did and ask for forgiveness, you will go to Heaven. And people often think that being a good person makes you go to Heaven automatically. NOT TRUE. you could give to the poor, be nice to people, and other good things, but if you dont spread the word of Christ and "grow" in the Christian faith, you arent really a christian are you? This might be a little off topic, but i hope it answers your question.
3. Jesus died for our sins, he did not die out of vengeance. He never wanted to b e tortured or killed, but he knew what his mission was (he knew since birth.) and he knew that pain was temporary compared that we could just ask for forgiveness (And truely mean it) in order to go to heaven, no matter how late. He knew he would come back. he wasnt cruel to anyone... in his last words, he asked God to spare the very people that beaet him, put a crown of thorns on his head, and nailed him to a cross for forgiveness, for they did not know what was going on. Jesus didnt really make people drink his blood... he said. Jesus broke the bread on the Last Supper and said "take this bread, for this is my body that has been broken for you". then Jesus took the wine and poured a glass for each of his diciples, and said "take this wine, for this is my blood i have spilled for you.". we drink it in church to honor him (we drink the wine and eat some of the bread).
I think my third answer answers your last question... jesus was not this blood-thirsty barabarian.
Thanks for asking questions! :) i hope this answers them (if it doesnt, just simplify what i missed)
what are you talking about? cats claw your sofas up... dogs dont break furniture. you have to train them. only big dogs break furniture, but most people put big dogs outide.
What does that have to do with anything? Dogs hate rain just as much. There are things called puppy pads where they can poo and pee on the pad without hurting your floor... people have porches so the dogs dont get wet, and people have doggy doors so they dont have to get up and do it themselves.
not true. get your facts strait. IT HAS BEEN PROVEN PEOPLE LIVE LONGER WITH PETS IN GENERAL, NOT JUST YOUR PRECIOUS CATS!
well if they take SUCH good care of themselves, then why even buy them at all?
Dogs come in hundreds of purebred breeds and thousands of hybrids between breeds. Dogs vary from size, color, fur length, amount of attention, personality, trainability, and can be used for different things (guard dog, sleddog, police dog, etc). cats vary from color. Not all dogs need alot of attention. My friend has a st bernard, and he barely looks at it. on the other hand, i have beagles and they need alot of attention (but t hey're tiny and cute and easy to take care of). My friend has a poodle and she needs to trim it weekly. another friend has a boxer and it has never been trimmed. My friend has a lab and hardly excercises it, while another friend with the same breed of dog needs to run 17 miles every 3 days (so there are varying personalities and traits within a breed). ok- lets say you loved huskies, but you also loved a collie. so, mix breed them, and you have half husky and half collie in a single dog (you can mix traits, etc) not all dogs attack people, not all dogs drool, and not all dogs bark. So stop generalizing dogs.
Cats just sit. sure, they purr if you pet them, but most of the time you get your hand clawed for rubbing them wrong. they arent affectionate to you. you cant train them.
In a dogs mind: "my owner, you feed me, you love me, you care for me... You must be God"
in a cats mind: "my owner, you feed me, you love me, you care for me.... I must be God"

Historians conclude that Jesus was born in the last years before Herod's reign ended in 4 BCE
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Ahistoricity is not, and has never been, a majority position. Few historians consider it overwhelmingly likely that Jesus was totally non-existant
http://www.allaboutjesuschrist.org/

These websites prove that there was indeed a real Jesus, at the same time period, with the same people. The debate is whether or not he is truely Jesus Christ, Son of God (which he is... you will be sorry sooner or later as stated in the Bible)
Wow, you're that stupid. look it up you ignorant cow.
He is real to many people, not just me.
Not really ;) and if it were, you would obviously fail
Ur the one talking. Get a life
