I think it is made up. I have never heard of it and I even googled it and nothing came up at all on that.

Gargoyles actually got that name because of the sound that they made as they drained water off the roof tops of buildings.  They were placed there to ward off evil and served a function of draining roofs of rain water.

There's supposably one in a church near Lawrence, Ks in a town called Stull, I think.  Missed my chance to check it out and I think it's been torn down, but I know people who claim they've seen things there, although they were too scared to get close or go inside the place.

Eternal torment in the fires of hell is a myth from Greek mythology. The Bible teaches that the wicked dead will be ashes under the feet of the righteous. The wicked dead will be dead forever after they are totally consumed in the lake of fire.

Devinci Code is a story by Dan Brown that is based on old gnostic beliefs that Jesus was married to Mary Magdelin and they had children.  It is a quest for the Holy Grail.  Not the cup that everyone thinks of but the Holy blood line of Jesus Christ.  The story believes that the midevil crusaders called the Knights Templar found evidence of this detail and have been blackmailing the Catholic Chuch ever since.  According to the story the secret has been guarded by the Priore of Scion, a secret society once headed by Leonardo DeVinci.  Although this story has been around for hundreds of years there is to date no credible historical or archeological evidence that back up this theory.  But don't let that get you down.  I am a Catholic and I found the story a terrific read and well worth the time, even if I don't believe a word of it.

II think the answer to your Q is at about the 13th paragraph:\n\n\n\n\nWorld's fate hangs on 35 acres: Hal Lindsey looks at growing strife in Israel \n\nNews/Current Events Editorial\nSource: WorldNetDaily.com\nPublished: Wednesday, February 21, 2001 \nPosted on 02/21/2001 00:19:56 PST by JohnHuang2 \n\nI know this must sound crazy, but I believe the fate of the world will be determined by an ancient feud over 35 acres of land. As we look at all of the threats and dangers facing our planet, and evaluate how the major powers and nations fit in, it seems incredible that one small nation, which contains a plot of 35 unusual acres, holds the key to all our futures. \n\nThis may sound arrogant at best, and insane at worst, but I believe there are sound, logical reasons behind my opinion. You may not agree with the following history, but the important thing is, the feuding participants do. \n\nBack on the edge of known history, this area is first mentioned. A priest came to bless Abraham, the forefather of both the Israelites and the Arabs. It was written, "Melchezidek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High." Salem was an early name for Jerusalem, which was a town in Canaan. The major part of this town was a special place called Mount Moriah. This was the beginning of our knowledge of this place. \n\nAbout 40 years later, Abraham was directed by God to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice on this very same mountain. When God saw that Abraham would by faith obey Him, He stopped the sacrifice and provided an animal as a substitute. In response, Abraham named the mountain, "The place where the LORD will provide." \n\nAbout one thousand years later, in approximately 1005 BC, Israel's King David finally captured this city, which was then called "Jebus" and renamed it Jerusalem. Soon after that, David offered a sacrifice of repentance on Mount Moriah. He announced that God had directed Him to build a permanent temple of worship there. \n\nDavid's son Solomon did build a temple there that became the center of Israel's spiritual life. Israel's prophets soon began to warn future generations that their decline in faith and rebellion was going to bring a judgment that would destroy the Temple and Jerusalem. The prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah even predicted that this judgment would come through Nebuchadnezzar, the king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. \n\nJeremiah predicted that the Israelites would be taken and held captive in Babylon for 70 years. Isaiah predicted that afterward a Persian King named Cyrus would allow them to return and begin the reconstruction of the Temple. This prophecy was made 200 years before Cyrus was born, and at a time when Babylon ruled the known world. \n\nAll of this happened precisely as it had been predicted. The Temple was rebuilt on the same site of Solomon's Temple. \n\nThen, a little more than 400 years later, Jesus of Nazareth exploded on the scene and began to claim that He was the long awaited Messiah of which Israel's prophets had all spoken. He showed signs and wonders and pointed to the many prophecies that were fulfilled in His life, works and teaching. \n\nWhen it became evident that He was rejected by the rulers, he made this prediction about the Temple and Jerusalem: " … There will be great distress upon the land, and wrath to this people, and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled" (Luke 21:23-24). Jesus was crucified on the edge of Mount Moriah, the very spot Abraham had named, "Where the Lord will provide." \n\nThirty-seven years later, the Roman Tenth Legion under Titus destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple. The Israelites were scattered throughout the whole world for the next almost 2,000 years. But as predicted throughout by their prophe

Never heard of it, but I live in Portugal (20 Km away from Lisbon) and I know they had an heartquake on the 18th century. Therefore, such prophecy is probably fake.

Yes, there was one once.   At a church I visited.  Talk about scary.  I thought his head was going to spin around in a complete circle and he was going to start spewing.  *shudders at the memory*

Hey kewlchic1...\n\n I've just read the short story and I enjoyed reading about the miracles of brother Gómez in the city of Lima.\n The scorpion alluded in the title is mentioned in the last miracle of the story. One day, brother Gómez is visited by a peddler who, knowing of the brother's miraculous reputation, hopes to be granted the miracle of having loads of money. Brother Gómez grants him the miracle by transforming a scorpion in his cell into a scorpion shaped jewel. The peddler uses it to pay his debts and make money. At the end, he returns the jewel to brother Gómez and he brings it to life again.\n\nHope this helps!

I don't think the Bible is clear on the exact dimensions, but it oviously went all the way around the city, and was tall and strong enough that the enemies of Israel were intimidated by it (Neh. 6:16).

They were giant evil half breeds. The angels (I believe fallen) bred with human women creating a wicked evil super being. This is the reason God flooded the Earth. Read the Book of Enoch and you will learn more detail of them. They are called Nephilum. The Book of Enoch was discovered in Ethiopia in 1773 and then again in the Quram cave #4 (Dead Sea Scrolls). Enoch was Cains son and wrote the prophecies of the flood and the parting of the Red Sea.
