If Jesus could use his magic to walk on water and make prophesies of the future, why could he not predict meth
952621
ok first of all Jesus does not use magic........It's called being the most powerful God in all the universe and beyond.  secondly, He did forsee meth, He just didn't tell us about it because God doesn't tell us everything.  Did God tell us that we would be invovled in a war? Did God tell us that we would be attacked on 9-11? Did God tell us about any other drugs? I guess this is my point: God doesn't tell us some things because it's all part of the challenge;it's called having faith and perseverence.  \nP.S.  you should seek help on this meth thing.......maybe then you'll have a good argument.

I cannot believe how unbelievably ignorant all the so-called christians are in this world. Look, I'm a Buddhist, and I know more about their religions origins than they do. Thats just sad. The reason I bring this up is because I know for a fact that Jesus Christ himself used the marijuana plant and all of these "nope to dope" christians have no idea!\n\nChrist was not Jesus' name as some people believe. The title Christ comes from the greek word meaning "Messiah" or "Anointed One". What happened back in those days, the Hebrew people used a special oil to anoint their Priests and Kings. You could not use the title of Messiah unless you had been anointed in this oil. The oil was made from many herbs and spices including over nine pounds of flowering cannabis tops (cannabis is the technical name of the marijuana plant in case you didnt know). When Jesus was anointed by John the Baptist, he had a hallucination, or what he called a "vision" due to the effects of the oil. From that point on, Jesus considered himself enlightened, and used the oil and the herb freely in iniation and healing rites. \n\nThis is all written in the Bible and in ancient Hebrew texts. I'm not making it up. Jesus would probably encourage most people to use pot. Its completely harmless and if you believe what Jesus believed, it will help you get closer to God. And yes, its only about money. Youre right. No-one cares about truth anymore. But yes, it should be legalized. \n\n\nPeace

well as far as I know Jesus was the Prophet AND the Messiah.\n\nYou have a valid point too because Muhammeds so called prophesies were more like rules to live by, he talks about prophesies that will be forced by action if people live by his rules.  The prophesies of the Christian Bible were far more spectacular and true.\n\nI understood your question just fine, so I think the wannabe English teachers out there, need to get a grip!

That reminds me of a story about a rock...well, a stone.  The prostitute was about to get stoned to death. Jesus grabbed the biggest stone from one of the masses, and stated -- "Let he among you with no sin cast the first stone!"\n\nThis lil old lady walks up to him, grabs the stone, and smashes the prostitute right in the head. Jesus throws His Hands into the air, "Jeeze, I hate when you do that Mom!"\n\nI guess in that scenerio, the answer would be "yes" as to if God could make a rock so big that he can't lift it?

Jesus is not walking around today, He has not returned for his people.  If he were we would not be here on earth today.  As for the Anti-christ, who knows, they could be.  I agree that Jesus is disappointed with our world today, but as the end times come closer than things will get worse.

.god has a master plan to which only he has the blue prints. it's not so much for us to understand be to have faith and believe in him

He allows things to happen because it has to do with our will to evil or good. Also the thing that he has made happen and all the thing that are to come are written in your Bible to help you to believe.That he has sent the prophets to direct us all to his way of life. He does  have a plan this plan it's going on until the 6000 yrs men rule.Than  the 7000 yrs is given to the Messiah for 1000 yrs.Living the way he had plan.

Moses may have been hallucinating from lack of water and food up on the mountain when he chisled out the ten commandments and "Talked with God". People in those sorts of states very often don't make much sense...

There are a number of psychics and divination services out there that claim to be able to see the future. In my belief, a skilled individual can catch glimpses of it, but the future is fluid and always changing so what they see is not guaranteed to happen.

Jesus was from what can be seen historicaly as a real guy born about 2000 years ago. He did not have supernatural powers and I think that people gave him supernatural powers to exagerate the fact that for his day he was a great man. Back then the ancient people were devoid of things like mercy and compassion and Jesus tried to teach it to people. However he was also a thorn in the side of the romans so they had him killed. Jesus used the symbol of the hebrew creator God yahweh as a mascot for himself and his early order to gain acceptance and he is said to have believed he had some kind of "special connection" with yahweh. This is similar to the ancient pharoa mentality of believing themselfs as Horus the "God King". However I sometimes feel that by assigning special powers to jesus (like they did with hercules or that lumberjack guy portraid with the blue ox) they are desecrating his memory. While he did work hard to start a order of apostles and bring some compassion to the world at first he succeeded but a couple hundred years after he died his efforts ultimately proved fruitless, creating the dark ages, the inquisition and current christianity that keeps people believing in something that jesus may have found revolting. However christians today really only honor the memory of christ today when they set up food banks and help people without asking for anything, pray for the health of others and try their best to be good people. The problem is their are alot of disgusting and self righteous christian organizations (such as the jehovas witnesses and the united pentecostal church) that operate on a "we will only help those who convert mentality. Such groups are intellectual terrorists and nothing more than glorified apocalypse cults. I think Jesus would be very dissapointed with these people if he was alive today. No, he was not a knuckle dragger or a monkey, he was just a guy who tried to do what was right and got killed for it. Just like so many others.

This verse is part of God's talking to Job about His ability and Job's inability. In verses 8-11, God states He and He alone has the power to limit the seas movements. They can go no farther than he allows and waves can get no higher than He wants them to. Sounds like a statement to mankind also...lol

Well, I can tell you why I don't believe Christ was divine.  He'd prophesied to his people that the end times would happen in their lifetimes, and well golly gee, the universe still isn't gone.  If he was divine, and really the son of "God" he wouldn't have got that wrong.\n\nSorry, I couldn't answer your challenge, Classic, I went to bed right after I answered this question.  But here is my proof.  Jesus is speaking to those gathered around him at the time.  This what he says TO THEM about the SECOND COMING: \n\n"Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.  And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.  And he will send out his angels with a trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.  Learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near.  In the same way, when you see all these things, know that he is near, at the gates.  Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place.  Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.  Matthew 24:39-35\n\nAnd here's another one when he's tellig his disciples they won't finish preaching in Israel.\n\n"When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not finish the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes."  Matthew 10:23\n\nI have more, but that's enough to prove my point.  Notice in the first verses, it says that that generation will not pass away until those things happen?  Okay, so if it's true, where are the 2000 year old men, like JTucker said?

There are some Christians who believe the sprirtual gift of phophecy is no longer operative in the Church.  But you and I know better, don't we?\n\nUnbelievers will always give thumbs down to anything that isn't documented; my guess is that they were unwilling to take your word that the prophesies were given before 9/11.\n\nYes, a prophecy regarding future events that comes true does prove the prophet/prophetess spoke correctly.\n\nPeace.

There is a much simpler answer.  Actaully it's more of a question: Does God know the future?  I'd have to say no.\n\nGod knowing the future takes away free will.  If God knows what I will do tomorrow, can I do something different?  Do I have a choice? Am I anything more than a robot.\n\nThere are numerous examples in the Bible that God does not know the future.  Two that stand out are:\n\n"'Do not lay a hand on the boy,' he said. 'Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.'" -Gen 22:12\n\nIf God knew the future, he would have known that Abraham would not hold Issac back.  \n\nGenesis 18:16-33.  Abraham pleading with the Lord for Sodom.  Eventally God says he will not destroy Sodom if he finds 10 righteous people there.  He has actually been talked down from 50.  Would he not have just said something like, "There are only 3 righteous people in Sodom," and ended the discussion?  why did he waste time if he already knew the number he would find?

i dont know. Jesus used metaphors to teach. but.... i dont know. all i know is that as far as science is concerned the verdict isnt in.

No, I don't think it is possible. Jesus said that he would come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, so if this guy hasn't been heard and seen by everybody, he's just a Messiah-wannabe. Jesus said, "Many will come in My name and deceive many."

good point.  you've discovered another fatal flaw in the bible.\n\ngod knows the future and the past.  he already knows how everything turns out.  he already knows who exercises free will, who doesn't, and how they exercise it.  he already knows the outcome.\n\nthere is no need for any of this.  he already knows the future and how we all turn out.\n\nit also begs the question...why would a god put things into motion, when he knows the future, an knows he would have to flood the entire earth, killing everyone?  he already knew that was the future, he knew he'd have to do that.  so why set things in motion when you know you eventually have to kill all your children?\n\nand why inspire a bible, so ridiculous and poorly written that, after over 2000 years, less than 30% of the people on earth believe it?\n\nchristianity is total and utter nonsense, and is based on so many fatal flaws in its own theory, myth and certainly fatal flaws in basic logic, i'm surprised people are really ignorant enough to follow it.
