They had more than 3 children. (Way more than 3 children that weren't talked about in the bible.) Back then they practiced incest.

Oh, I forgot to add this.

Adam had three sons stated in the bible. (Cain, Abel, Seth) Although, he had many more, due to his old age. If this theory is not true, Abel could have always had sex with his mother...

why is swaering such a big deal?

They are words, the same as i am typeing right now, but get exiled by society becuse of the meanings that were given to them.

that i have found the bible dosn't say anything against it.


The bible says not to curse your neighbors. I could say, "You're a turtlehead!" and it still be a sin. It's the meaning behind the words that make it a sin. Society has just gave those meanings to specific words.

Thats true, and maybe he did. Hey you gotta populate somehow. The gene pool wasnt as messed up as it is today, so you wouldnt have to worry about disfigured kids. It was pure

First of all, new rules!

Only I answer questions, and two, stop the spam.. you ask questions and respond to questions, nothing else!!

Masturbation. Is it a sin according to the Bible?

If you are thinking naughly thoughs while you are taking part in this activity, yes, it is wrong. but if you can do it without
lusting after someone, then it is fine.

-So we are always going to find God using science?

I don`t understand but did you say:

art of finding answers-science, answer to everything-God, so we are going to find God using science?
So far I only seen that science only finds God to be non existing.


yes, if you do science you find God, you just have to look. Through nature, and all the exampled of DNA evidence, earths age and so on! This is such a broad topic though, so ask more specific answers.

The Roman Catholic Church teaches emphatically that the deliberate use of the sexual faculty outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its primary purpose of procreation and secondary purpose of unification of the husband and wife within the sacrament marriage. In addition, the Church teaches that all other sexual activityâ�"including masturbation, homosexual acts, acts of sodomy, and sex outside of or before marriage (fornication), and the use of any form contraception or birth control besides Natural Family Planningâ�"is gravely disordered, as it frustrates the natural order, purpose, and ends of sexuality.


Yes I agree. Outside of marriage, sex is wrong. I even tead to to think that masturbating is wrong as well. But that is still debatable.


I am busy right now, and I will answer the rest of the quesions soon, so no spaming and keep asking questions and I will get to them, don't worry!

Could God think of a time when he was not omnipotent?


no. God was always omnipotent. he existed in eternity. forever and ever. good questions though, mind boggling huh?

So, you're saying the big bang was a lie and God created the universe?
If so, how come there are several catastrophes? Does HE enjoy seeing people suffering?


By several catastrophes are you referring to the flood? That was the one and only major catastrophe, it covered the whole world. And God only did the great flood because people's sin had grown to the point where it was dispickable. God does not enjoy death. He even said, he will never again flood the whole earth again. and he has not.

So, if -for example- I have an inoperable cancer and no chance of recovering, and, eventually, die, that's a challenge I must "complete".

Makes sense....

Another thing, why is masturbation a sin?

And no matter what people say, God doesn't exist for me, He has forsaken me, abandoned me, I gave him my time and prayers, and He re payed me with suffering.



First of all, you don't have to go through any challenged to make it to heaven, or to prove your worth to get to heaven. The challenges and pains you go through are simple tools to help you grow and learn. After you accept God as your guide and lord, then you are going to heaven. The pains are not challenges, but ways to make you grow spiritually.


Read my answer about masturbation.

What kind of pain did you go through randomplayerofag?


Why the church does not allow the use of any form contraception or birth?
It's the church's fault that AIDS has infected so many persons in the poor countries and that so many kinds are abandoned by their parents.




There was no question there. and it was rather bad grammar, try again.

disprove Big Bang, and disprove the evolution theory. Both te Big Bang and Evolution theories have been proven into scientific fact, and i want to see how you disprove them.


I recommend you watch the movies series, Answers Academy with Ken Ham. That series will show you the truth.

We are toys and he decides when and how we die?

We are toys in the sense that we don't have complete control over our life. But imagine our owner loves his toys a lot...

The church does not care about the people they want just to take their money.
Also many of the priests have sex, they have sex with prostitutes, other men,many have been reported as pedophiles and do any kind of perverted thing.


Ok, I feel like we are getting a little off topic here. Listen, you can't judge all Christians just because some idiots are doing these things. they are not correct and they are sinful and wrong. As humans, all humans make mistakes and need to repent. And the GOOD churches do care about these things. The church i am going to right now is actually doing something about these things.

Probably, one of the best things she did.
If I had the chance, I would tell the pope a few things myself....



just a little reminder...

I am a Reformed Presbyterian Christian.


Not Catholic, I don't agree with some of the things the Catholic church is doing.

Can you prove to me that God exists?

Can you prove to me that the Big Band Existed? Again, if you watch the series, Answers Academy with Ken Ham, you will understand the correct theory.

Well it was proven that the big bang actually happened...so...

Who said, sinful, fallible man? Scientists that have contradicted themself's so many times and changed there mind so often? Are these the people you are referring to have discovered that the 'big band actually happened'????

Your talking of the roman catholic church...so many flaws...

Agreed.


why is swearing such a big deal?

The Bible does talk about swearing. and not let fowl words come out of your mouth. They are there. And, because swearing has been given a bad association in the world today, it is naturally not the best path to take if you are wanted to profess your beliefs.

How come there aren't anymore miracles? Like how come no one is plauged or no one parts the seas anymore? And more natural disasters? And how can there be a virgin mary (I think someone lied/cheated) when she as a baby?


There are miracles happening, you just don't see them. miracles that are hidden and amazing, you just have to look. And yes, there are less amazing eye popping miracles happening right before your eyes now a days. but they are there, you just have to look and pray. Pray, God wants us to Pray...

Adam and Eve had 2 sons. How did they get kids?


The kids had sex with each other or the parents had sex with each other. God planed it out, and remember, there was no sin before the fall, so ingrown births where not bad. and the gen pool was ok and not messed up, and I think they had more kids then just two, they probable had a ton, come on, when you life to be older then 500 years old!!!

If you abide by the bible, then you would know that there aren't anymore miracles... Jesus and God are the only ones who can preform miracles. And supposedly all the miracles stopped after all the apostles died.
