1 Corinthians 1:18-For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God" this means that If you are not one of God's elect, the fact that Christ Died on the cross for our sins and arose 3 days later is stupidity,foolishness, does not make sense, dumb. To those of us who are God's elect, it is the Grace and the Power of Jesus Christ to save us from Hell. That He picked me, an undeserving, wretched, terrible boy(i'm only 15), to be His chosen child. Nothing I did will ever EARN me a place in Heaven. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faithÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ã

Message of the Cross: God created the world. Man Fell into temptation due to sin. God promises a saviour in Genesis, that will come from the line of Judah((sp) Gen, 3:15) and will come to take man's sin on Himself. The Nation if Israel is Born through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who is later renamed 'Israel'(or one who struggles with God for he wrestled with an angel of the Lord and got the angel to bless him). Israel means one who struggles with God.Israel falls away from God and God raises up Judges to bring Israel back to Him. But They Keep falling away due to sin.After the Glorious reigns of David and Solomon, Rehoboam takes over and the Nation of Israel. Under he rule Israel splits into 2 nations, Judah and Israel. Judah remains some-what faithful to God with a few exceptions. Israel falls away from God with 4 exceptions. Israel and Judah are taken over By Assyria and Babylon. Assyria and Babylon are taken over by the Persians. God raises up prophets to remind Israel that God loves them and wants them to come back to Him. And He still keeps promising a Savior. JUdah and Israel have problems with their sin and fall away. God remains silent for 400 years. -New Testament- The virgin mary receives word from God, that She will bear the savior of the world. Jesus is born around 3 B.C. MUch of Jesus childhood is not recorded in the bible, so we do not know what he was like. At about 30 years old Jesus starts His ministry by calling the 12 disciples. Once he has done this Jesus starts performing miracles. He starts teaching on the Kingdom of God. He teaches on mans original sin. HE teaches of the wickedness of man and the loving kindness of God. Jesus also talks about the wrath of God. The wrath that will be poured out on Him when He dies on the cross.During this time the Pharisees (a sect known for its righteouness) plots to kill Jesus for his repeadid attack on the Pharisees for being self-righteous. One night Jesus is taken away by the pharisees and Brought before pilate. Pilate "washes his hands" and symbolizes that he has nothing to do with the final say on Jesus. The Jews at this point, beat Jesus and strips on Him of His clothes.the take the son of God, up to a hill called Calvary or Golgotha. Here the Jesus teh Very Son of God, God Himself, takes on the Punishment for our sins. He is NAILED to the cross, and has a crown of Thorns placed on His Head, above the cross a Roman gaurd places the sentence, Jesus King of The Jews in Hebrew, Greek and Latin. Jesus hangs on the cross for a few minutes and the HE GIVES UP HIS SPIRIT and dies. The Wrath of Almighty God, had been poured out on His very Son. At this there was a great earthquake. The veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom symbolizing that Jesus was now our mediator between God and man. After this, Jesus was taken down and buried in Joseph of Arimathea tomb. Three days later Jesus arose from the dead. His Disciples found His tomb empty and reported it to others. Jesus appears to 500+ people before he ascends into heaven on the Mount of Olives. so Basically the Message of the Cross is this. Man Is tainted by Sin, Jesus who was born without sin, SUffered bled and Died for the Sins whom he has purchased. even More basic, God Loves you and "He sent his only son, that whosoever believes in Him will not Perish but have everlasting life."-John 3:16

Do you understand what you just said in your answers? I sure as hell didn't. No, not in the sense that you're wrong, but in the sense that there's no way in hell that anyone would know what [a] God wants us to do or what it is. I agree with Edward Elric. Hiding behind the religious bs riddles that you don't even understand isn't a proper answer. No, I'm not an atheist :roll: . That is because you obviously do not understand the Christian religion. And Yes, I do understand what this means. -1 Corinthians 1:18 "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God" Now it is wether you believe this or not.

the truth will come out. Millenia or scores, If what they Christian religion teaches is false, then the truth WILL come out and It will slowly descend, and eventually desintagrate(sp). I'm telling you, Let history take it's course..because it always repeats it's self.

1. Who are you?---Not your name or subjective opinions about you. Who are you? -I am a child of the Almight God. Bought with a price. And dedicating my life to the Glory of His name. 2. What are you doing here?---Not at the computer. On Earth. What is the point of you living? Wont there always be someone to take your place? -I am here to Glorify God in all my actions.I am here by the AMAZING GRACE of God. All of which I do NOT deserve. 3. What is your purpose?---This question is linked to number 2. Pretend there is a man behind you shouting "WHY" after everything you say. Look as deep as you can. -My purpose is to ENJOY God forever and ever as His child.

I'm telling you, Just let Christianity die down. One of you said, it has been going strong for 2000 years plus. Well, Like I said, it takes time. Yes, I do understand it is the world's leading religion but at the height of the Roman empire the main religion was..an adpatation of greek gods and goddess. In the Babylonian Empire it was the worship of many gods with one chief god, Marduk. Now these religions practically do not exist! Because eventually the truth will come out. And you cannot say" prove the world is 6000 years old with no religious context" because..there is no such thing. No matter what there will always be a belief..even atheist..which is an oxymoron( you say I believe nothing..well that is your belief) So no matter you will always get a religious bias. Even if you believe that science is the best thing to depend on.. Think about it. Religion is inevitable. There is NO SUCH THING as no religion. No matter what to those of us who are Christian, keep up the faith and press onwards. THE TRUTH WILL BE REVEALED.

Another point, is dinosaurs. The bible does in fact mention mythological beasts, whether it is talking about dinosaurs or not is irrelivent. It wouldn't make sense if they had big days, as the bible includes sentences such as "he travelled for X days" If in fact, the days back then were big enough to account for the billions of years this earth has been around for, in this 'X days' he would have been dead in the first day. Fossils are billions of 'today's years' old, but apparently the bible is 6000 years old. I explained above about the argument about different sized days cannot be true, so if you believe in the bible, you cannot believe in dinosaurs. Which have been proven, you might as well not believe in gravity. There have been many religions over the centuries. Each religion can be baught down to 2 reasons, one of which is morals. The other reason is to explain what science and technology can't. One example is the ancient egyptions. They did not have the science and technology to know how the sun rose and set, it appeared to them to move across the sky. So they invented a god that moved the sun across the sky. Today we know that is [cabbage], and the Earth revolves around the sun - which is why it appears to move across the sky. We know this because of the science and technology we have today. Lets briefly compare a story of the bible, to a religious story we have today. The sun moving across the sky in ancient egypt, and jesus being the son of god. They both took true facts. There was really a man called jesus who claimed to be the son of god. And the sun does in fact appear to move across the sky. And then turned them into stories to explain what science and technology can't. A god passes through 12 gates, fights a serpent and carries the sun across the sky, and A man called Jesus claimed to be the son of god and performed mericles. (sp) My question: How is the Ancient Egyptions religion, which we all know is rubbish, any different to the stories in the bible? There are in fact still people today who believe in ancient religions, because of faith even though they are wrong, and that is all that christianity is. Proven that the world is 4.5billion? Where is the missing link? Then sun shrinks everyday ,right?right. So if the world is 4.5billion yrs old. Wouldn't that mean the earth would be inside of the earth? :-k What about the layers in the earth? do not some evolutionist say that they are built up over a period of millions of years? And yet, Mt. saint helens made 5-6 layers in a matter of days?

Actually the bible was put together by the early church. Cam.org is saying that the revelation of Jesus Christ through John, was written in cerca 90 A.D. Though the early church did not include the Gnostic gospel because they are said to be heresy books. How about this. If the Christian religion is false, which aparently majority of ya'll think it is, then let it die down buy itself. Look back at history for this. During the height of the roman empire, Asia minor (modern day Turkey) believed in Artemis,or Diana. Now that religion is no more. Even if it is, it is a minority. Look back at the anciet Egyptians. They Believed in Horus, god of the sun. And many many others. Now that religion does not exist. Well what about Hinduism or Judaism? They have been around for a long time. Well, some religions go out quicker than others. just wait and see.

hmm...already tried that and i got nothing. shades..where?

What/where is the place to train with full dharoks. I'am currently in monkey land killing gorillas, and all of you that have been there know they do not drop anything. so..ideas?

bump

..I think that is the only way to get some one to advertise for your product.

er...ok. But on the other hand, I would have to agree.

I think what you guys are looking for is another event when jagex gave out the scythe,party hats, eggs and other H' masks. I think ya'll are holding past christmas event and other holiday events up to that standard..the fact is..that will probally never happen again. Ya sure they may not be the coolest compared to a party hat. I think these are made to be more of a monument to how long you've been playing, not neccesarily to be worn. ANd I think that if you keep holding to these standards that you will probally not be satisfied.

what happens when you've spent too much time on runescape? You start talking in leetspeak. Mother:_____clean your room! player1:0h N0es!!2@!@!

HEres a solution! If you have a weapon, throw it at the player! IF you breathe fire...sneeze :-X on the player! if your just boring and can't do anything, then just throw a rock at them. Cmon guys..use your heads. Know what I hate? After you have been killed,lets say wildy, at the bottom of you chat box it says,"oh dear you are dead"...duh -.- As if they need to add insult to injury.

Have you ever wanted to take some ones helmet off and throw it into the ocean, just for the heck of it? Why doesn't runescape make beavers? If they did what combat lvl would they be. And if they could attack would they gnaw on your leg?And if you could kill them would they drop there teeth? Jagex:"introducing beaver teeth! Stronger than dragon, more stupid than granite legs!" speaking of granite legs..Holy cow. Just getting them on takes 3 points of your hp for loss of skin and blood.And think running in granite legs results in a granite wedgie! :ohnoes: and just think you can't dig it out! Hmm...you'd figure that once you burn a lobby you would learn.."hmm, maybe I should learn not to cook it for that long" Well i can say for a fact that my guy hasn't. ..He probally has the attention span of a 3 year old. how do my white boots always stay white? Are there some sort of pixies that clean your shoes when you log out? why is mushroom always asleep in Trollheim?...I smell drugs! notice that you can put a fence in your yard.

After I graduate HS I hope to go to College, one that I can get a degree in architecture, And after I graduate College I'll do my patriotic duty and join the Army. After a couple years I will transfer to the Army Rangers and finish my career in the military there. After the Army, I'll look to settle down and have a family. I will then continue my civilian career as an architect.
