  Ever question why Roman and Greek myth, had similarities to Christianity?

  by free2beme in

  the virgin birth, the strong men, animals being used to tempt mankind, the war between gods, etc.

  these are all things from greek and roman myth, yet every single one of these could be pulled out as examples from the christian bible.

  i asked elders and they would say that the greeks borrowed christianity to make their myths.

  climate change/global warming

  by BlackSwan of Memphis in

  1. social
  2. current

  ok well this is one of those topics that's pretty much common knowledge.. the earth is warming, the ice is melting and sea levels are rising.. a) do you think we'll be able to take care of it before it becomes irreversible?.

  b) do you make decisions in your life that reflect a concern for this issue and/or other environmentalist issues?.

  i try to make sure we recycle and turn off what isn't being used.

  GB Admits It Has No Answers, Blood

  by Maximus in

  "in contrast with humans, who have a limited life span, jehovah never feels pressured by time to reveal his secrets prematurely.

  this fact should prevent us from becoming impatient when certain bible questions cannot presently be explained to our satisfaction.

  "modesty on the part of the faithful and discreet slave class, commissioned to provide the christian household with food at the proper time, prevents it from presumptuously running ahead and wildly speculating about things that are still unclear.
