Christians who believe in a literal interpretation of the bible?

7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoChristians who believe in the Rapture?
where in revelations or somewhere else in the bible does it describe this supposed event? Is it just something made up by some preacher ?
22 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHow can so many people believe in a literal interpretation of genesis?
It seems pretty clear thats its phony to me, besides who really believes god made plants before he made the sun......
12 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoThis quote by Jesus is clearly not true; does that make him a liar?
Matthew 21:21:
I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."
i understand the mountain moving part is likely metaphoric, but why do prayers to him by true-believers go unanswered? Im sure many true-believers have prayed for world peace or eradication of diseases, and many true-believing amputees have asked for limb regrowth yet it doesnt happen.
There are many other references in the New testament to jesus saying pray and he shall heal you or grant your prayers, he puts no limitations on what you can ask for....
16 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoChristians: why do you selectively follow the teachings of Jesus?

2 AnswersGames & Gear2 decades agoHow could God lose a wrestling match to a human?
25 When the man saw that he could not gain the advantage over Jacob, he touched his hip socket; that put Jacob' s hip out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26 Then he said, "Let me go, for day is breaking." But Jacob said, "I will not let you go, unless you bless me." 27 And he said to him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Jacob." 28 Then he said, "Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but instead Israel, for you have wrestled with Elohim and with men, and have prevailed." (Genesis 32:25-28)
some may say this wasnt god but an angel that jacob wrestled with but Elohim refers to the god of the isrealites many times in the bible, and the name he gives to Jacob (Israel) means "wrestles with God."
So what gives?
10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 decades agoIf what jesus said in the bible was true then?
in the bible he says he will heal any sick that pray to him (James 5:15) and will grant any prayers you request so why will jesus heal people who had a chance to get better on their own (all the people who claim to be healed by prayer and miracles), but ignore those whos only chance is through jesus (like amputees and other prayers that are unambiguous and can only come true by prayer)?
jesus is very clear in getting the point across that there are no limits to what you can pray for and what he can give you,
you ever see an amputee regrow a limb by praying to jesus?
miraculous cancer dissapearance and things like this are ambiguous because many other things couldve caused the recession (immune system, doctors theraphy, force of will , etc.)

18 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 decades agoChristians: Does the punishment fit the crime?
Deut 25:11-12 "If men get into a fight with one another, and the wife of one intervenes to rescue her husband from the grip of his opponent by reaching out and seizing his genitals, 12you shall cut off her hand; show no pity."

7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 decades agoIf you are a christian and believe what jesus said in the bible then?
why do you need health insurance? Or, for that matter, car insurance, life insurance or home owner's insurance? Why are you worrying about your health in the future when: A) Jesus has told you specifically not to worry (Matthew 6:34), and B) Jesus has promised to cure any illness that arises (James 5:15)?
18 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 decades agoWho agrees with this religious quote?

6 AnswersFIFA World Cup (TM)2 decades agoChristians: If we are all a result of perfect design and god doesnt make mistakes?
Then why do humans have so many problems resulting from evolution? like due to our evolving smaller mouths (from a more gentler diet over the past few hundred/thousand years) most people need to have their wisdom teeth removed when they reach a certain age. does this smack of perfect design to you?
womens increased knee stress due to evolved larger birth canals and pelvises to accomodate larger brained babies is another example.
