Hya I would just like to make some points about the Levitical law and its relevence today as in earlier posts from people Id noticed that people were making a mockery of it.
Firstly the levitical law was supposed to be the pointer towards the sarifice of Jesus. When man originally sinned there was a barrier placed between him and God that meant sacrifices of animals had to take place to cover the sins of the people. However these sacrifices could not be permenent, only the sacrifice of a human who was perfect could do that. Jesus was perfect in every way so this could be the cover for peoples sins. After Jesus was sacrificed the old Levitical law was expounded upon by the love of God so following all the perhaps trivial ones was no longer nessecary. today however we can take principles from these old laws.
These laws showed very great understanding in medicine for the time period. For example not eating pigs was wise because pork does go rotten very quickly even in fridges today so this would have been unhygienic.
I imagine that no matter what i say on here will be responded to with sarcasm from this "goddogit"
but id like to let him know that all his sarcasm is doing is fueling my faith and passion.
I do appreciate those who have responded in a human way to my posts even though we disagree.

Thanks for replying
I am doing A level Bilogy at the moment and the more i look into how life works the more I believe in God because to me the fact that something so complex could come about by chance does not make sense. I am not totally denying evolution, probably me being a bit too eager in my 1st post but I do not understand how it could happen on such a large scale without some sort of divine help.
Can you please tell me where you believe that the cause of the big bang came from?
Thanks

What genetic mutation is beneficial?
Why havent all monkeys evolved into human like crreatures?
How can an a living thing evolve from inorganic chemicals?
Does organic substances such as alcohols have the potential to become alive?
Who set off the big bang?
If we have all evolved from amoeba at as slow a rate as evolution appears to take place in creatures today how long would it have to take for the billions and billions of small steps that would have to have to be taken to create a human?

If you could help me here that would be great

Whos happier???
The Christian who believes he is going to live forever??
Or the atheist who believes he is going to be dead forever?
Ask yourselves what is important

Hi Im a 16 year old Christadelphian from Dudley in England and Im no expert in Science or Hebrew but I do believe 100% that God does exist and is the reason we are all here.
Perhaps people should read the entire Bible in context and make sure they understand the meanings in it before they start knocking it.
What I do know is that Bible prophecy is accurate, to such extensive deatail in places that experts have simply had to say "it must have been written after the event" this was all very well until the dead sea scrolls were discovered and proved at least that most of the old testament is in fact as old as it says.
One example of incredible accuracy in Bible prophecy is the account of how Tyre and Sidon was destroyed by The Babylonians and causing the inhabitants to flee the city to an island off the coast, where they lived until Alexander the Great came along a couple of hundred years later and built a causeway to the island with the debris from the old city. This causeway is till there today. This is all prophecied in the Bible (dont have the exact passage to hand but could get it if anyone wanted it) to such an amazing degree of accuracy it even talks about fisherman spreading their nets on the causeway which is of course what happens today.
What other book predicted all the world empires in order??
Another thing that really does prove God exists is that he said that Israel are witnesses to this fact.
No other nation in the entire history of the world has been battered and persecuted anywhere near as much as Israel, attempts to wipe the Jews off the face of the earth have been going for the past 2000 years, and yet they are still here in their own country! This really is nothing short of a miracle if you think about it carefully. The bible says that the generation that sees the fig tree blossom (Israels return to the land) that happened in 1948 will see the return of Jesus.
This gives me great senses of hope and happiness, if I dont have to be scared of death then there is nothing to be afraid of.
What have atheists got to look forward to?
Can you honestly say you are happy and have a hope?
Surely believeing the entire universe came about by accident takes even more blind faith than believing in a God? But it really is not stupid or dumb to have a hope.
