LMAO! That list is as ridiculous as it is horrible.\n\nI like the "example" of the Titanic dude that said even God couldn't sink this ship... the list implies that God's reaction was then, \n\n"Oh yeah! Well I'll just kill all kinds of people, even kids, and that'll show you not to say I can't sink a ship! And YES! I AM that petty! SO nah!"

Jews! Jesus was a Jew. \nChristianity came from a mix of Judiasm and Paganism...

The Beach Boys are more talented performers, but the Beatles had superior songs and lyrics.  John was one of the greatest composers of his time.  Paul's songs were too childish and wussy.\n\nThe Beach Boys suffered from a lack of good material.  They were extremely talented in all facets of musical ability, but most of their songs are uninteresting because they're meant for large crowds of dancers.  It's the equivalent of modern "dance music", which is basically just random melodies attached to very loud and VERY easy-to-follow downbeat rhythms.  Dance music is extremely uninteresting and will not stand the test of time, just like most Beach Boys music.  Only a handful of their songs have survived and will remain popular.

Elvis, because Lennon was a pacifist.

Jesus said: NO MAN comes to the Father but BY ME! Jesus is the only one to die and rise again. God himself said" This is MY beloved son who I am well pleased. JESUS said many will come after me...DON'T BELIEVE THEM...so I don't believe the other who have come AFTER JESUS!

Jesus is Gods way of reaching man. \nReligion is mans attempt at reaching God. Its doomed to failure apart from Jesus.\nBan religion? Whats the point? Lets ban idiotic "intellectuals" like Elton John from making stupid comments!

Of course, it doesn't matter what those people think (you know that). Our society puts big-money earners at the top of the social pile. Jesus said "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven." You don't have to believe in Jesus to agree. Learning to be honest and decent, pulling your weight and helping your fellow man, being kind and loving, and forgiving - those are the things that count. Feel sorry for people who worship money.

The Beatles...hands down! If they hadn't done half of the stuff they did in the studio, music would not be where it is today!!

To pink_maltese8, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were not all apostles. Matthew and John were, but Luke was not and Mark was a disciple of peter and wrote down the teachings of Peter but never actually sat under Christs teachings. I am not trying to be mean but you obviously attend church because that is where you find the most people that know very little about the Bible yet think they have it down pat.\n\nRegarding the question: I would think that you are referring to the Catholics and JW's but I may not know your thinking. My personal opinion is that if they have a religious denominational name then they probably aren't Christians at all. There are very few Christians involved in any type of religion, the true believers won't tolerate the lies spewed from the pulpits. "come out of her my people".\n\nJoin the Revolution\nReject Religion\nTurn to Christ

A lot of internal difficulties.  John Lennon was preoccupied with Yoko Ono, George Harrison did not get along with Paul McCartney's overbearing nit-picking, and their musical interests were heading in different directions.  George was interested in eastern music, John wanted to address social issues, and Paul felt that people hadn't had enough of silly love songs.  Hence the split.

If you are referring to the song, then it was originally recorded by the Monotones.\n\nIf you mean a book, then it's claimed that the Apostle John wrote the book of love for the bible.

He died in New York City in front of an apartment building after being shot by Mark David Chapman the night of December 8th, 1980.  I remember working at a radio station in Ladysmith, Wisconsin when the bells went off on the teletype with the bulletin announcing he had been assassinated.  That was one of the toughest stories I ever had to air because I had been a huge fan of not just John but the Beatles overall.  For the balance of the night I played all Beatles & John Lennon music...and will never forget that sad night.

Mainstream Bible scholars don't believe the book of John was written by the apostle John, or that Jesus actually said the things "John" claims Jesus said. Given all that, I wouldn't waste time trying to interpret it. It is just the opinion of some anonymous guy 2000 years ago. I prefer to trust my own Life experience.
