Not everything in the Bible is true...

People will tend to believe some weird medical and scientific explanations for the unusual things that came about after fervent prayers rather than just believe these are miracles of God. Some even tried to give scientific explanations for the miracles in the Bible.

The truth is perhaps there will be some real intelligent and rationale explanation for all these miracles. When we get to heaven you can ask God about he did all those miracles and I'm sure with our glorified body and transformed minds we will be able to understand.

But right now, science which is changing fast - explanations even for simple things are different now then in some twenty years ago- and it is progressing towards what God have known since the beginning of time. Kaya lang konti konti lang ang revelation na pwedeng ibigay ng Diyos sa tao at baka mabigla. Just look at the ideas of scientists and inventors who are way ahead of the others, they were dismissed as loonies by their own peers.

That's why I believe what was written in Isaiah that God's ways are higher than our ways and His thought are higher than our thoughts.

So I dont' limit the infinite God in a small box -though expanding- called science. Sabi nga sa epistles let all men be liars but God remains true.

medical sciences are not weird. Science has never been viewed as weird. Maybe scientology is weird or creation science...I'm not sure what's the basis of your statement. A quack doctor is also weird.

science cannot explain a talking donkey, stick turning into serpent, man walking on water, burning bush, lazarus coming from the dead, man surviving 3 days in a whale's belly.

Now, the great flood, the 7 plagues, etc have scientific explanations as these are not considered unnatural.. natural meaning occuring in nature. Obviously the first examples stated are unnatural so science cannot explain that.

when people get to heaven...assuming it's a real place...people won't be asking questions anymore.

god's ways and thoughts are higher than ours because he's up there..and we're down here...joke...comedy flavor lang...no offense meant.

the man who thought and said we can fly and land on the moon was called a loony.

LOL
ill bet she was 10000X hotter than monica belluci

Who?

Nobody has attempted to answer my questions earlier:

Why is it that all the miracles mentioned in the Bible only took place within the pages of the Bible? Why did the miracles suddenly stop just like that? Almost all of the so-called "miracles" that took place in modern times were either a product of chance or simply hoaxes.

We don't have raining frogs, sea turning into blood, mysterious hand appearing to write something on the wall, Mt. Sinai talking in a thunderous loud voice, a man walking on water, etc. WHY ???

I'm not saying the Bible is just a collection of parables and none of them actually took place in history. I'm just asking why the story of Christianity ended after the last page of the Bible was written, and everything thereafter were simply "quoted from the Bible".

Criss Angel can walk on walls and water pare!!! hehe

Another thing I wonder...

Diba di pwede magworship ng anybody other than God diba... especially inanimate objects...

Why do people cradle/kiss rosaries, friggin statues made in Tayuman of Sto. Nino, Mary etc???

Kinda contradicting isn't it?

Why do you have to pray to Mary or any other saint, can't you go straight to God himself or may kailangan pang daanan like government offices?

Labo.

Idolatry nga yan. Excuse naman ng mga pari eh sa Dyos naman daw sila nag dadasal, nakaharap nga law daw sila sa statue.

Praying to Mary and other saint is another work of the Catholic Church. Only Jesus can intercede for us.

John 14:6

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

korek and agree strongly bro....

What's more amazing is how many of these idolatry figures are INSIDE places of worship hehe.

This Bent Crucifix is "... a sinister symbol, used by Satanists in the sixth century, that had been revived at the time of Vatican Two. This was a bent or broken cross, on which was displayed a repulsive and distorted figure of Jesus, which the black magicians and sorcerers of the Middle Ages had made use of to represent the Biblical term 'Mark of the Beast'.

No wonder the Vatican is on the first stage in denying the Bible.

sir *coder, I believe a lot of people breakaway from the Catholic faith bec. they just can't seem to comprehend the Holy Trinity & Mama mary. God the Father, The son, the Holy Spirit + 1 divine being which is of course the Mother - one whole divine family. maybe it also explains why prone to dynasty ang mga Catholic politicians hehehe

Ah... but who institutionalized and preached the "Holy Trinity"? Jesus himself, or his followers? Jesus made no claims to being God, merely to being "a son"... hmmm... Like I said, Jesus was not one for "divine mysteries" and intricate secular law, he was more of a "God for the People", "Let the Children Lead the Way" kind of person. It is in all Christians' best interests to learn where and who certain institutions and beliefs of the Bible came from.

So I dont' limit the infinite God in a small box -though expanding- called science. Sabi nga sa epistles let all men be liars but God remains true.

And don't limit God to the even smaller box that the Bible is... ...the Bible is limited by the cultural hang-ups, imaginations, and prejudices of the men who wrote it... are we to say that God was similarly limited?

[niky]

No wonder the Vatican is on the first stage in denying the Bible.

Anybody can take anything and claim it is anti-Christian. Don't start with that... ...remember the Salem Witch Trials? The Inquisition? It's wild claims and ideas regarding what defines "Satanists" and "Heretics" that allowed church leaders to execute their opponents both within and outside the Church in the Middle Ages.



Besides, while distorted, who's to say that the image of Christ here is repulsive? It's an iconic representation of Christ, inspired and following in a more modern school of design, nothing more. The Crucifix has always been iconic in nature, and a lot of Churches, both Catholic and non-Catholic, display iconic or abstract images of Christ.

Now, is that any worse than the traditional, gory, blood and guts version of Christ on the Cross? Meaning to say, if your Crucifix isn't anatomically correct down to torn skin and cartilage at the knees, and broken ribs poking through the chest and doesn't drop blood on the floor, it's Satanic?

That's a slippery road that you really shouldn't go down, my friend.

does anybody know that the cross is a pagan symbol? it's not originally christian.
