Creation

Adam and Eve were our first parents; who had the first family. As the blood of all of their children was pure, it was possible for siblings to marry and have families of their own without any side effects that we experience today.

After a lot of research into the various religious beliefs of the highly commercialized regions of the world, I have come to the rational conclusion that their Gods were Born/Created from the imagination of the rulers of that particular geographic location. Their Gods were created to be in their own image and likeness. These rulers, through their clever advisors, created religions that targeted the fears of the people at the particular time. These advisors were similar to the marketing consultants and advertising specialists of today. The wealthy people found creative ways of keep the working-class people (slaves) obedient to their whim and fancy. The working class people were threatened with eternal damnation for disobedience to the divine laws and instructions of an invisible authority called God. This God has created you in his image and likeness to obey and serve him with blind faith. This God choose special servants to be his messengers to his humble and obedient subjects. This God also commands that his loyal slaves must kill all those who do not obey his commandments. Absolutely no individual involved in organized religion has a conclusive answer to the question of proving the existence of God! Many religious zealots will venture to market their particular brand of theology in an attempt to create a convincing argument that their dogma contains the only credible proof that the God-Fantasy is true. But they can't answer the most troubling question in life; Why did their Gods create religious bigotry, social bigotry, economic bigotry and gender bigotry?

That man is a product of creation makes more sense than any other theory of the origin of man, e.g. evolution. The first book of the Holy Scriptures tells us that God created the first man, Adam. Genesis 1:1 states: "In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth." After the Grand Creator made all the necessities to support life he created man. The account of Genesis continues: "And God went on to say: "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth." And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God's image he created him; male and female he created them. Further, God blessed them and God said to them: "Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth." So here is the most satisfying explanation of man's origin. Hebrews 3:4 puts it simply: "Of course, every house is constructed by someone, but he that constructed all things is God".

I think first that we need to realize that life is sacred, it is God given and he can take back that which He has given. We should value it a we would every other precious gift.

As it is God given we should not abuse his gift, we cannot do as we like with the life, we have to try to make every part of it in our actions and our words acceptable to him.

Finally we should not contemplate taking our own lives, that would be like throwing the gift back in his face.

This answer is unknown, but is probably not true. However, Lucifer was put in charge of the dinosaurs and this earth during that age. Lucifer and one third of the angels were put on the earth to care for it much like Adam and Eve were to care for the garden they were first placed in. Remember that Lucifer is the Prince of this earth even still (until the return of our Lord).

The dinosaurs most likely died off and the earth made uninhabitable due to Lucifer's rebellion. In Genesis 1:2, we read that the earth was without form and void. The two Hebrew words translated here as "without form" and "void" are bohuw and tohuw which more accurately translate into "undistinguishable ruin" and "lie waste or desolate". Read these same exact words in Jeremiah 4:23 where Jeremiah is describing Jerusalem after its total destruction by war.

So in Genesis 1:3 and on, we read how God took an earth that was laid waste and in ruins (after the dinosaurs) and made in ready to begin his plans with mankind, made in his own image and likeness. ****** NO lucifer did not create dinosaurs, God did. Dinosaurs and man walked the earth at the same time, and there is volumptious evidence to prove this. IN fact, Dionsaurs are still on earth today. The Lock Ness Monster is one of them. ****** The answer to this is no. Lucifer did not create dinosaurs, nor did God. A scientific process called evolution produced creatures we now classify as dinosaurs. The Loch Ness Monster doesn't exist either, but if it did, it wouldn't have been created either, just like our dinosaur friends.

It refers to our God-given ability to choose, especially between good and evil (Deuteronomy 30:15-20).

Writing systems go back more than to around 4,100 years BC. However, simple tokens, the precursors to writing, have been dated to around 7,000 years BC.

Early Egyptian records show that its culture was beginning to resemble the Pharaonic ages from around 5,500 BC. The "Old" Predynastic, or Amratian period, started around 4500 BC. The first pyramids were built around 2,900 years BC.

Cave art in Europe also forms a record of human existence. This has been dated at up to 30,000 years BC.

Prior to 30,000 years ago, we must rely on the evidence provided by archaeologists, paleo-anthropologists, geologists and others. There are physical records of modern humans dating back to around 200,000 years ago.

Izanagi is a Japanese looking mythical God who fathered the islands and Gods of Japan. His name means: male who invites.

It is an urdu/hindi word meaning COUNTRY.

Des is short for Desmond Translated literally from French, the name Desmond would mean "These worlds" (Des' Mondes). That meaning might translate back into English as "These places", "These planets", etc. If this logic is correct it would mean that the name Desmond could have been attributed to one who travelled a lot, or was a soul-searcher. Alternatively it could suggest a nickname for someone who was local to a specific area.

I can understand why this question is still in the "Unanswered" section. It would be difficuclt and perhaps a somewhat controversial question to answer. Be that as it may I would put forward my answer for your consideration. From a religious point of view God is able to do anything with the material that is available to Him. This earth contains all of the material necessary to form man. Adam was formed from the dust of the earth as was his wife Eve. Though scripture tells us that it was from one of Adams ribs she was formed. This however is only figurative to mean that she will stand by his side in all things.

To this reader God can do anything providing He has the material to work with. After Adam and Eve were formed the normal way of procreating took place.

You may have in mind the theory of evolution, but to this reader such a start of the human race is not logical.

According to the theory of Evolution, life developed by random processes, especially mutations.

The narrative of Divine Creation, which is contained in Genesis ch.1 and 2, states that God created the universe. This teaches us that God exists, that our lives and the world are not random, and that the created things may be assumed to contain vast wisdom in their beautiful and purposeful design. (In recent decades, this wisdom has indeed been partially revealed, through increasingly powerful microscopes.)Evolution through random mutations, on the other hand, may be understood as implying that life is an accident, that perceived beauty and wisdom are ultimately purposeless, and that our instinctive yearning for the Eternal is just an electrical impulse in our brain.

Negative numbers are numbers that go below.say you have 3 and take away 4 that would take you to negative 1 .

That is nearly the same as asking is there such a thing as God. There are many people throughout the world that are convinced that reincarnation is a fact of life. Buddhism puts forward that reincarnation is the passing from life to life going through all the trials and tribulations that are on offer until you come to a juncture where you understand reality. at which point you become a conscious part of all of existence. the Hindus have different levels of the same sort of idea and there are many other groups that think along the same lines. There are many books available on the subject both ancient and modern. And whether they lead you to believe in reincarnation or not the thoughts surrounding the whole concept are both fascinating and give a new slant on the way to look at life. However As is the case with any thing that involves the afterlife you have to go there to know hat is right. I like the concept of reincarnation myself because it seems to be more sensible then having a giant man judging us all of a sudden at the end of your life.

in the book of genesis there is a verse that refers to great sea creatures, this may have some reference to dinosaurs if the catholics believe in science and reality this would be the passage they turn to about dinosaurs.

So you can be judged

why do we have to be judged?

We die because its part of life and nothing you say or do will stop it from happening. So just enjoy your life while you still have one

we have to die so we can give others a chance at life

We live in an imperfect world. Therefore we die so hopefully we can enter a perfect one.

The judgment day is when Jesus comes to Earth :)

Slavery actually started much earlier than the 1600's. It can be traced back to a time before the pyramids were built. As early civilizations began to expand beyond their boundaries, laborers were needed to build roads, bridges, dams and borders. Slavery actually provided jobs and encouraged commerce between countries.

As far as the Bible is concerned, it never seeks to prove God's existence but merely gives a record of His dealings with mankind and especially with His chosen people the Jews. Romans 1:20 also testifies that God can be clearly seen in the creation, and so, to use the Bible's words, 'they are without excuse.' Thus the Book of God, the Bible, points to another book of witness, the Book of Creation as a witness. : In relation to Christianity The Bible actually contains a number of accounts which demonstrate the real existence of God in space and time. These were so understood by those who witnessed and participated.

1 Kings 18:21-39 (King James Version) 21And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people ed him not a word.

22Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.

23Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:

24And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that eth by fire, let him be God. And all the people ed and said, It is well spoken.

25And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.

26And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that ed. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.

27And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.

28And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.

29And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to , nor any that regarded.

30And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.

31And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:

32And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.

33And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.

34And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.

35And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.

36And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.

37Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.

38Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

39And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God. Comment: The specific context relates to the Northern Kingdom of Israel following the false god Baal, who is demonstrated here to either be powerless or uninterested in the affairs of his followers or non-existent.

By contrast, the empirical test which Elijah proposed and which was accepted by the people, demonstrated that the Lord God of Israel was the true God.

This test was specifically designed by Elijah to demonstrate to the Israelites who they should be serving. Bible Prophecy Another vast area in the Bible is that of prophecy. Deuteronomy 18:21-22 (King James Version) 21And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?

22When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

This 'empirical test' relates to who is a true and who is a false prophet. It provides direct empirical proof of God, since men cannot know the future by themselves, especially hundreds of years in advance. God, who is all-knowing, does know what the future holds. The true prophet of God is given specific insight by God into the future. The empirical test relates to whether or not the predicted event actually comes to pass. This fulfillment not only demonstrates that the prophet spoke in the name of God. It also demonstrates quite directly that God exists and that He knows the future. Obviously the person involved cannot know the future, nor, since they are long dead, have a personal hand in helping the prophecy come to pass.

Scripture holds numerous examples of prophecies fulfilled hundreds of years after they were uttered. The many prophecies relating to the Messiah, Jesus Christ, are the single biggest block of these. Others relate to historical events. On Historical Events and Empirical Data It is obvious that historical events cannot be repeated as can scientific experiments. This is so because they relate to a particular place and a particular time or moment in history. (nor would we wish very many horrible events to be repeated anyway) They thus are verified in a different manner empirically, by the normal rules of empirical evidence which apply to historical data.

Scientific experimentation is able to be repeated because the matter or phenomenon which is being tested still exists in space and time. Matter also contains molecules and atoms whereas God is a Spirit. And, furthermore, in relation to scientific experimentation, the matter to be tested can to a degree be controlled by the experimenter, or is altered in such a way as to be controlled so the experiment can take place - for example, drugging a dangerous animal to insert an electronic tracking device.

God Himself has stated in the Bible that He is able to be found by those who are willing to find Him. Since He is a sovereign being He has chosen to not make Himself available to be dissected by those who mock and ridicule His existence and devise criteria to reason Him out of existence. Those who follow the relevant criteria know empirically that He exists and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

So the real question is, how would one who is finite test a being who claims to be infinite. God has invited Himself to be put to the test empirically by those who have an open mind. The particular experience which God will grant often will be very particular to the individual concerned. One example is how Jesus dealt with the unbelief of Thomas, who refused the eyewitness testimony of the other disciples. John 20:24-28 (King James Version) 24But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

25The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

26And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

27Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

28And Thomas ed and said unto him, My LORD and my God.

There is not much logic involved in performing an exorcism. It is very faith based. Logic can come in when deciding how to do it and how far to take it. You can also logically decide if you will need help or can do it by yourself.
