The rest is the key to the sabbath. It is the meaning of the sabbath.

Which leads to the establishment of the sabbath by God Himself.

I have already told you the purpose of the sabbath.
Then why does it say:
2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

My bad, it was the land, sea and vegetation he created on the 3rd day. Same concept though.

Why does God allow man to die while praying in church?

I will need much more detail on that!
If God was all knowing why did he allow for sin to enter the world?

Look up Lisbon earthquake as an example of believers who died in church while praying to him.

Here...this will help you to literally assess The Bible:

Look at the following scenario and tell me what conclusion you come to based on the event I presented. What is the reason for this happening when there is an All Knowing, All Powerful, All loving God in charge of the universe?

I'm here for answers. Apparently I'm getting none.

Excellent point. However, from all appearances it appears that god (assuming existence) is more interested in CAUSING suffering than preventing it. For example, he keeps inventing and modifying new forms of deadly viri and deadly bacteria.


It is just these sorts of gross inconsistencies between dogma and reality that amounts, virtually, to proof that there is no such thing as god. Truth is, after all, consistent.

Seems to me Trout you have had a bad experience along the way that's left you bitter inside toward God.

It saddens me to perceive this from your post. I can only tell you that although you may have been bruised along the way, God is the healer of the heart and soul and will release you from that prison.

I've been praying for you my friend as I have mentioned to you before, and I will continue to pray that God will prevail in your life.
I'm curious TroutDude. Do you want Charlie praying for you, or do you see this as another example of a christian forcing his religion on you?

Days? A day is caused by the rotation of the earth about it's axis. 7 days make a week, another distinctly human invention.


How would god have days and live in a 7-day week?

The answer is clear and obvious.


God didn't create man. Man (who has days and 7-day weeks) created god (as a player in a fairy tale).

If you were truthful, you'd admit that you have no good reason for claiming that the God of the Bible does not exist.
i've made this example 1,000 times. Earthquake kills and injures many believers while praying to God in Church. Where is God?

Why do you believe God didn't intend for it to happen?
