oh just thought of one....an eye for an eye....and then turn the other cheek.

That wasnt what I said! I wanted to know why theres no mention of dinosaurs and evolution in the bible!! If we evolved from apes then whats the Adam and Eve thing all about??

but in that particular bit in Matthew's gospel - what Jesus actually says.......

'you have heard it said (by other people, not him) an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but I say to you - if someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other one as well'

so he is not contradicting himself, but is quoting firstly what other people were saying was the way to deal with relationship difficulties - then saying what he thought you should do

crikey - hope that makes sense, I am no Bible scholar

well exactly...THE BIBLE contradicts itself!

more often than not

I don't think getting into a massive debate would be productive - so you believe what you want - and so will I!!

which was my point exactly - thank you HC for putting it in a much easier to understand way

anyway - back to the film......
still not seen it but have heard lots about it. Can't decide if I want to see it or not - will have to choose a cinema going partner carefully I think

tesco's sell it i think

I'm like you Felicity, I want to see it but I don't think I could see it at the cinema, I probably won't be able to see for the tears!!

I think for me it will be a graphic reminder what Jesus went through for everyone, and the signification of being parted from God. I wish the film started abit before the Cruxifition and gone on after when Jesus rose from the dead, then it would give the full story of the key point of Christianity

Sorry plop i seem to have left you stranded

thats ok i'm always stranded

Hi All

Would like to offer something if I may. Take from it what you will.

Evolution and Ecology was a big part of my course at Uni. I also had to do a fair bit of taxonolgy (Oh what a bore that was ). Fairly recently a species was found in the depths of the sea. Nothing like it has every been found before. I remember when it first was first found, cause all the profs were soooo excited For many years they have been trying to place it within the taxonolgical hierarchy. This was met with much annoyance as no-one would agree. Anyway to cut a long story short, 4 of the leading Ecologists in the world met to discuss this species. The were locked in a room for 4 days. After 4 days they emerged and offered the answer. They were not 4 men of any sort of faith/religion or understanding. However, what they came up with was due to the characteristics of this creature, that this species has been formed by a higher form. They did not say it was a specific (G)god that made it.....just that it had to be formed by something higher and outwith their understanding. (what they did say was that because of this creature the big bang could not have happened).

I will leave this there. I do not want to get into a debate. Just wanted to let you know what I have heard. (I believe there are some white papers available on this).

we're back on to bb brill

....sounds like these 4 bods, had been having a right old orgy, and decided to come out with a load of mumbo-jumbo,
to distract attention, from their sordid antics.
...the dirty devils.
