The Bible has changed quite a bit over time and by different people.  It would be easy to switch one or two words around and get a completely different meaning.\nI would suggest you try looking at different Bibles and see the differences.  Maybe an older version might not have had that in it.\nThat line sounds to me like Jesus was justifying the Crusade, which I highly doubt he would have.

Let me first say that all my references from the Bible are from the New Internation Version (NIV).  Please don't take offense to anything I say.  That is in no way my intention.  If I were sitting with you in person, I would say the same things, probably more.  I am only trying to answer your questions to the best of my ability.\n\n1.  Jesus said "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."  (John 3:16-17)  In John 14:7, He said "If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well.  From now on, you do know him and have seen him."  John 1:1 also says "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." That may not specifically say "I am God," but it does say that Jesus is part of God and that whoever knows him knows God.  \n\n2.In John 14:6 it says "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me."  When teaching the way to Heaven, Jesus said "Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.  But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." (Matthew 7:13-14)  Those who don't go to Heaven will have an eternal life of sorts, an eternal life of torment in Hell.\n\n3.  In the days before Jesus came to earth, the Jews sacrificed animals to atone for their sins, as directed by God in the books of law, the first five books of the Old Testament.  Jesus came to teach us how to live a life to glorify God and attain eternal life with Him in Heaven.  In order to stop us from having to live according to the strict laws previously given, Jesus was crucified as a sacrifice to atone for the sins of all people to ever be born.  The short answer is because God loved us. (See John 3:16-17)\n\n4.  I don't believe it is God that makes us skeptical; it is Satan who gets into our heads and makes us skeptical.  Even Satan knows that God will eventually win in the end.  He wants to take as many people to Hell with him as possible.  God didn't create you to be an agnostic.  Satan put that in your mind.  No doubt, God made you intelligent.  He could have made us where we would never question Him on anything.  However, God didn't want a world full of puppets or robots.  He gave us free will.  Christianity isn't biased toward people who are easily led.  I know many Christians who are leaders, not followers.  I've known people who were very skeptical before becoming Christians.  Whether or not to believe in the Bible and in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit is a decision that you make.  We either choose to believe or not.  Faith is the key word.  If you have faith in the world and science, you will most likely not be open to believing things that you cannot see and touch.  That doesn't mean it's impossible.  There are lots of Christians who once were skeptics.  Even Thomas, one of Jesus' disciples, needed to put his hand in the nail holes to believe that Jesus had been resurrected.  "So the other disciples told him, 'We have seen the Lord!'  But he said to them, 'Unless I see the nail marks in has hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it.'  A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them.  Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, 'Peace be with you!' Then he said to Thomas, 'Put your finger here; see my hands.  Reach out your hand and put it into my side.  Stop doubting and believe.'  Thomas said to him, 'My Lord and my God!'  Then Jesus told him, 'Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed ar

cheri_da_rn: he meant carpentry!\n\nI wonder, was it before or after he got married to Mary Magdalene? You couldn't really hold it against the guy if he was already married and THEN found out that he was supposed to be the Messiah, and die on the cross, etc.

Hey bud, sorry for all the rude answers you are getting to your question.\n\n"B.C." stands for "Before Christ." Our calendar says it's 2006, meaning that Christ was born about 2006 years ago (exact date is disputed). \n\nNot to confuse the question, but the Bible teaches that although Jesus walked the earth some 2000 years ago, he actually created the universe prior to coming to earth as a man. Compare Genesis 1 (talking about God creating the universe) with John 1 (talking about Jesus, or "the Word", creating the universe). You can read these chapters by clicking the links below.\n\nSo while it's true that there were many people born before Jesus in the "B.C. era", Jesus really came before everyone as he was in heaven long before he created the earth. In other words, Jesus (the Son of God, as a person) has ALWAYS existed. Always. But he became a man and lived on earth for about 33 years. Today, he's alive in heaven like he was before coming to earth. And he's coming back again one day to judge the people of the earth.

1. What scripture verse was translated incorrectly (What did the incorrect verse say)\n\nHERE IS THE WHOLE STORY, FOR THOSE WHO MAY NOT KNOW:::\n\n          Exodus 34:28-35  28 And he was there with the \n          Etrnl forty days and forty nights; he did \n          neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote \n          upon the tables the words of the covenant, the \n          ten commandments. 29  And it came to pass, when \n          Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two \n          tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came \n          down from the mount, that Moses wist not that \n          the skin of his face shone while he talked with  \n          him.  כי קרן עור פניו בדברו אתו׃\n          30  And when Aaron and all the children of \n          Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face \n          shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. \n          31  And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and \n          all the rulers of the congregation returned unto \n          him: and Moses talked with them. 32  And \n          afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: \n          and he gave them in commandment all that the \n          Etrnl had spoken with him in mount Sinai. 33  \n          And till Moses had done speaking with them, he \n          put a vail on his face. 34  But when Moses went \n          in before the Etrnl to speak with him, he took \n          the vail off, until he came out. And he came \n          out, and spake unto the children of Israel that \n          which he was commanded. 35  And the children of \n          Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of \n          Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon \n          his face again, until he went in to speak with\n          him. \n\nThe verse incorrectly translated is, of course, Exodus 34:29 above, and i have supplied the Hebrew. The word mistranslated is the word, 'KEREN,' meaning 'beam,' like a beam of light. Unfortunately, the word also means horn, as in a 'horn of plenty.'\n\n2. and what is the correct translation?\n\nMay own translation:::\n\nExo 34:29 ויהי ברדת משׁה מהר סיני ושׁני לחת העדת ביד־משׁה ברדתו מן־ההר ומשׁה לא־ידע כי קרן עור פניו בדברו אתו׃\n\nAnd when Moses came down from the Mountain of Sinai, with the two tablets of the testimony in the hand of Moses, when he came down from the Mountain, and Moses did not know that beams of light (keren or) shone from his face when he spoke with Him.\n\nAdditional information:: When i was a kid, i actually had Christians come up to me, asking me where my horns were? Their ministers and their families had taught them that the Jews actually had horns, based on the New Testament quotation, when Jesus calls The Jews children of Satan!!!!

Sadly, again you are twisting the scripture. According to the structure of the verse, you are likely using the KJV of the Bible. While many Christians swear that this is the "most accurate" version of the Bible, theologians have long disagreed. When looking at the original text for the word "gods" in this text, we find it is the word Elohim. In different translations Elohim is translated as these different words:\nGod\ngods\njudges\n\nIn Exodus 22:8-9, the word Elohim is translated as judges. So what is the proper translation in the case of Ex 22:28. Well, we should read the rest of the chapter to find the proper context. \n\nWhat concept best fits the context of the term? What concept is best understood in the second language? The idea has to be transferred from one culture and time to another culture and time. There may or may not be a literal translation from the first to the second language.\n\nIn the case of the term Elohim in Exodus 22: 28. the translators of the various versions have used gods, God, judges, or simply have carried the Hebrew term over as is. Technically, each translation is correct. However, which one is the best in this passage?\n\nThe term gods carries the idea of something other than the true God of heaven. Why would the people be told not to revile the gods? They were to have nothing to do with them. Because of its connotation, this is not a good translation here.\n\nWhen Exodus 22: 8 and 9 are considered, the term God has definite meaning for the time when this commandment was given. The people were being led by God. He had just issued the Ten Commandments. Whatever the people did or said was considered to be before God. Thus, all judgments were considered to be made by God.\n\nThe judges were considered to be knowledgeable men who represented God. It was they who made decisions when there was a dispute. As a guide, they used the laws that God had given to them through Moses. Because of their position and the authority given to them by Moses, going before them with a case to be decided was as if they were going before God.\n\nAt first glance, the use of several versions for understanding in this example will cause confusion. However, with a knowledge of the background, one can see why the versions use different words in translation. Now, the reader can choose the rendering that he can best comprehend. The person who uses one version only can be at a disadvantage. If there is a poor translation in his version, he may obtain a misunderstanding of the concept. \n\nIn conclusion, I would suggest that either God or judges can be used. However, the reader must read the whole chapter to avoid interpreting this verse out of context. Here is a lesson for not using one verse by itself to formulate a belief.

You're not mistaken, the New T was not written by Jesus, most of it was written by diciples of diciples, like Paul who never even saw Jesus. There are more then 3000 versions of the new testment coz so many priests, monks and popes added, 'corrected'  and took off whatever they thought they would\n\nThere was no 'giving' ceremony marking the New T which is very much out of the tratdion of what we new of GD through Judaism.\n\nThe OLD Testmnt originates from the Torah.\n\nThe Torah was given over to the Jews at Mount Sinai, the Jews numbered 600,000 men, counting those only over the age of 20 and under 60, which there are is a reason for, namely that those under the age of 60 wherent involved in the sins in the desert, and those under 20 hadnt winessed its aftermath. Here are some passages from the Torah...\n\nExodus 12:37\n37 The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children. \n\nNumbers 11:21\n21 But Moses said, "Here I am among six hundred thousand men on foot, and you say, 'I will give them meat to eat for a whole month!' \n\nUs Jews hold our Torah jealously for fear of translation and consqnt misinterprtation. This occured when the Christians 'hijacked' our Torah converting it and all its meaning in their then pagan mindframes, which it still embodies of you look a bit better at christianity. The muslims made a similar hijacking though they didnt mix it too much with pagan beleifs.\n\nAnyways what im saying is, if you read the Bible in Hebrew, yes it is reliable, all of our Torah's after 3200 years are word for word, letter for letter the same...\n\nIf you count the letters in the Hebrew bible there exactly 600,000 of them, one for each Jew that received it.

Okay, this is my understanding of it from all I've read here on Y!A and elsewhere... Please correct me if I've made any mistakes...\n\nIn the beginning, God made a bunch of rules. Those who followed them went to heaven and those who broke them went to hell.\n\nBut they were really difficult rules, so God decided to send Jesus to the world. Jesus was God's son, but he was God Himself, too. Plus the Holy Spirit. And the "Word made Flesh". And many other things too.\n\nJesus's mission was to spread the word of God, his Father (i.e. Himself), but he was also our Saviour. This he accomplished by dying. You see, everyone is a sinner, and no-one can live up to God's rules. God seems to have realised that in due course. He could have, say, changed the rules or just absolved us all by fiat, but this whole kill-My-son (i.e. Myself) thing seemed easier.\n\nJesus was predestined to die for our sins. It was his calling. This is why he hid from the Romans like a fugitive, and why Pilate, Judas and the Jews are all condemned for their complicity - because they wanted to kill a man who wanted to die and was preordained to die. Their crucial role in carrying out God's plan to redeem us all is why we should hate them today.\n\nWhen Jesus, who willingly died and could have prevented it if he had wanted, was on the cross, he called out 'Father, why have you betrayed me?' This means, 'Father (i.e. myself), why have You (i.e. I) abandoned me (i.e. Yourself) when I'm carrying out the mission that you (i.e. I) decided to undertake in the first place?' This is because God, who is omnipotent, could not bear to look sin in the face, and Jesus (i.e. God) had become sin at that moment. Then Jesus died.\n\nExcept he didn't die. He spent a long weekend somewhere and then he was resurrected. So Jesus died for our sins, but he didn't die. He was raised again and now sits at the right hand of God. Except that he is God. But anyway, we can all go to heaven now, where we couldn't before Jesus died/didn't die for us.\n\nOf course, we can still go to hell. Jesus died for our sins, but it doesn't count unless you accept him as your Saviour. Plus, if you're Catholic, you also have to confess and repent and atone. And if you're Protestant, it doesn't much matter anyway, because God decided where you were going before you were born. Plus there's something about wine and thin little wafers.\n\nSo then... what have we learnt? Well, God's law is eternal, but God's law is really harsh so He gave us a hand by sending His son/Himself to die. Except that he didn't die. Because he died/didn't die, people can go to heaven. But they still have to follow God's law, or else they'll go to hell. Just like it was before God sent His son/Himself to die/not die on the cross in order to absolve/not absolve us of our sins.\n\nI hope this clears up any misunderstandings... It's all very clear and logical when you approach it the right way.

The KJV was meticulously translated.  By man.  And, no surprise, it isn't perfect.\nThere IS no perfect translation because, even if you have a Hebrew, Greek or Chaldean lexicon, you don't have the meaning of the words from 2,000 years ago.  Meanings change.  Take the word "gay" for example - means something VERY different today than it did 20 years ago.\nWithout taking the time to learn the original languages, then do have the lexicons as well as a Strongs (or other) Concordance.  Read the same passages in different versions for richer comprehension.  A passage read from the KJV, the NIV and The Message takes on new dimension.\nRead it - and read it sloooowly and patiently!  Read it reguarly.  And read it again and again.  What had no relevance (seemingly) last month can suddenly leap out at you today.

It was prophecied long time ago! Jesus said that due to violence and suffering the love of many will grow cold. Paul also said that in the last days people will be heartless, violent, lovers of pleasure rather than God.

You jackass. the verse (8:68) refers to distribution of spoils of war. Now, anymore FAKE KORANIC VERSES I NEED TO READ?\n\nWho's the one embarrased now?\n\nEDIT:I want to make it clear. This verse is not taken out of the context because IT WAS NEVER IN THE CONTEXT!! It's fictitious.

Allow me to rephrase.. Yes it changes the meaning. But ((why)) are such things in the bible when we know they were added later? But there are more verses which were added (the NIV indicates them in footnotes). So, if such things were added, then who knows what else was added or removed?\n\nBTW, do you know about the "Secret Gospel of Mark"? This is a gem indeed. It answers the difficulty of Mark 10:46 (ie. what happened at Jericho?) and demonstrates nicely how they removed things they didn't like ;)

A very good question; and very sincere. Shows that you want to learn more about how a real Christian beleives. Read the above Bible verses, and check out 1 Cor. 15, and come to your own conclusions, based on the Bible. You can also look up the words "2nd coming" and will be lead to Biblical verses concerning Christ's coming ( no "rapture", as you know) \nEnjoy the Bible study, and God Bless you.

Interesting question. \n\nOdd, how in the Old Testament that God is portrayed as vengeful and angry, and in the new, he suddenly seems to change his mind...

Be thankful people don't use the standards of 2000+ years ago! We really are more understanding than in those days. \n\n'Who made GOD?' and other type questions; I see many questions of this nature, and wonder how can humanity put into human understanding GOD and his plan. I mean I understand humanities need to understand things - but we are never going to understand these big concepts. \nDeath, GOD, etc. \nI totally agree that "it's clear Jesus said his Kingdom is not of this world."
