Christians, when you visualize Jesus which one of these do you see?

Jesus # 1

I can't even begin to picture Jesus, any more than I can picture God because we have never seen them in our lifetime. I do believe we may have seen them in the earth age before this one, but that has been blotted from our memories. Whatever He looks like, He will be BEAUTIFUL beyond our imagination and description.

A Question about the Chocolate Jesus Controversy?

If the Dutch News Paper can print pictures of Mohammad and say it it has every right because of Freedom of Speech, then why can't the artist display his artwork, in a form of free speech?

It's certainly a hypocricy. It's not the only time this sort of thing has happened either. In Sulawesi, Indonesia, Christians chopped off peoples heads over a newspaper editorial that implied that the church-supported candidate was corrupt, in the Phillipines they looted bookstores and burnt copies of the DaVinci Code, in Egypt thousands of Coptics rioted and turned over cars, in Belfast they set the city on fire on Orange Day last year, and in Russia, Orthodox priests beat people bloody at a gay pride parade.

It is sad to see people making death threats and threatening to burn down the gallery and such because of a chocolate Jesus. Especially since I think the point is rather a good one. We buy and sell millions of chocolate bunnies for Easter, but why is the focus on rabbits?

It's really a pretty interesting sculpture though. Quite interesting. He is a very talented artist.

Xians...do you believe in the Loch Ness Monster?

There is more proof that the Loch Ness Monster exists/has existed than Jesus. There are pictures and eyewitness accounts. Why don't you believe in the Loch Ness Monster?

Hmmm first off, these are the opening words of the Gospel of Luke:

Luke 1:1-4
Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

Now let me ask you a question about your news that you read. Does every journalist eyewitness exactly what they are reporting on? No! How do they find out what happened? They ask people what happened. If there was a car accident or other terrible disaster and asked 5 different witnesses what happened, you would get 5 different stories, and each witness would probably emphasize a different aspect of the event. That is normal, that is humans for you, we don't always see things in exactly the same way. But here's the thing, there would be a minimum set of facts which you can get from their stories to begin to produce something of an account of the events.

Do all American Christians hate Muslims?

I know Y!A is not necessarily representative of society, but it freaks me out in a big way that a LOT of hate/falsehood is posted regarding Islam and Muslims. I've lost count of the number of posters who claim Islam demands Muslims kill people of other faiths, Allah is a moon god, Muslims worship the Black Stone, Allah is not the God of Abraham, Moses and Jesus, Allah is wrathful and not forgiving... Is this how the average Christian American sees us?

I'm a american and I don't hate you guys in anyways. Not all us American are stupid to hate you guys for no reason. The people who hate you are the ones who are dead in the brain. I know not all Muslims go a round killing people. Just the way not all american Christian's are stupid. lol =D Btw I all ways want to party with a Muslims and get there views on the world. xD I like People of all colors and back rounds its fun to meet new people like that and get new ideas on the world in the eyes of others. =D

If most artists tend to be atheists/agnostic/nonreligious, then how come there are so many famous paintings?

of Jesus and the Virgin Mary?

The large majority of those religious paintings were from a time period where religion was really in charge of the art world. The religous were the patrons of art so the artist would paint what would sell. Especially during the reformation/countereformation which gave birth to baroque religious paintings which are the most well known religious works. I twas used as atool for propoganda.... And by the way most artists of the past were religious.

Who was the original artist who sang the song, "Personal Jesus"?

I know that Depeche Mode, Marilyn Manson, and Johnny Cash sang different versions of it, but who was the original artist of it? Was it Depeche Mode?
I love that song and I love Depeche Mode.

"Personal Jesus" is Depeche Mode's twenty-third UK single, released on August 29, 1989, and the first single from the then upcoming album Violator. Since then, the title song has been covered by numerous artists. Inspired by the book Elvis and Me by Priscilla Presley, it was the first hit from the album, reaching #13 on the UK Singles Chart.

If God's love comes for free, who's making all the money from the sale of all the Jesus....................?

paraphernalia like books, cd's, dvd's, magical beads, miracle stones etc?

Why don't you investigate for yourself what is done with the proceeds?

Salvation is free..

A book about it might not be...

Why is the Historical Jesus doubted on the Internet but not within the academy of scholars/historians?

Is it similar to 9/11 Conspiracy Theorists and "Moon Landing Hoax" Conspirators (where the Internet is the best place to find followers?)

Perhaps the better question would be why would you take anything doubted or promoted on the internet seriously...

People who think Jesus would be against universal health care - a question....?

Have you ever been to a hospital in Canada or Japan or western Europe?

Of course I forgot how Faux news was a bastion of truth.

I live in Europe and our hospitals are as clean as anyone else's. We don't 'pull the plug' either.

As for Jesus, I think that he would be for something that ensures that people have access to the medical treatment they need, regardless of ability to pay.

Is Your Faith Strong Enough?

To take some ribbing and mocking or does the idea of any kind of joke, giggle, mockery, burn your buns?

FIFA 09 Manager mode team?

Hey, I just want to see you're FIFA 09 Manager mode team.
Is mine any good?

I think Almunia is terrible... Try another keeper like Cech or Buffon.
You can put Dani Alves as your right back or maybe Sagna.
Between Mpenza and Agbonlahor, I prefer Agbonlahor.

Your team is good, man. Good luck!

Teena Marie, playing pop by her own rules
It's hard to understand now just how far ahead of her time the R&B artist Teena Marie was back in the day. It's not just that she was laying down radio-friendly raps years before any other woman, or that this white girl who sang soul — sang it — was a post-racial icon decades before we began taking that term seriously.
