Answer to:
What is the religious age of consent in the USA? And to what age is a child forced to follow a parents religion? Shalom! Edit: Skipped "religious" in the title. Fixed now. 1) Legally varies by state. Please see - http://www.coolnurse.com/consent.htm It depends on the religion. In Judeo-Christian Myth one must be married before you can have sex with your partner. Therefore, at what age is marriage appropriate? 2) There is no law on this, nor is there a social custom. It varies...

Answer to:
Do you think the church is corrupting by saying 'all men are created equal' and not 'all people/human beings' are created equal? Shalom! "Men" refers to mankind as a whole. I personally was raised in a generation and in such a way as not to see men and women, black and white, short and tall. I just see people. ~ Aryeh

Answer to:
Do you think it is wrong for Christians to see R rated movies? Shalom! To think of a sinful action is to commit the sin itself. Does this mean we're guilty of every thought that enters our mind? Of course not! You have no control over which thoughts come to your mind, but you do have control over which you choose to entertain and it is for those that you are held accountable. However, it is more than sinful to think of a sin. It is worse than...

What do you beleive the mark of God that will be placed on the forheads of beleivers will look like? Shalom! A barcode is made up of three sets of bars and spaces. Each bar and space is of four different sizes and, generally, makes a random sequence which computers can be programmed to recognize. Oddly enough, no matter how random the sequence, the bars and spaces can always be added up to equal "6" each. This means three sets of bars, each of which adds up to 6, makes 666. The...

Answer to:
Every time a Human looks into the mirror it is proof of Gods existence? How do you feel about this. Shalom! Did you eat breakfast this morning? Did you drive to school/work? I'll assume that the answers are yes. Why? Because you know that eating your toast, eggs, and orange juice will satiate your hunger and nourish your body so it can work and you know that you car will not explode when you start it. Humans make decisions not on instinct, but on a complex mix of knowledge and...

What is the main thing a person must do to enter Gods kingdom of heaven? Shalom, This is a point of much contention. Ultimately, when interviewing religions the two primary topics we want to know are "Who's in charge?" and "What's your view on the afterlife?". 1) Who's in charge? HaShem HaShem (Ha - The Shem - Name, is Hebrew and implies the real Name of G-d, YHWH) is G-d. He is the L-rd Almight, bless be He forever and...

Answer to:
Why did the Old Testament promote animal sacrifice, instead of humane treatment of animals? Shalom! So it's OK to drill for oil to burn to create electricity for the internet? It's OK to mass produce broccoli in nightmarish settings solely for us to eat? It's OK to cut millions of tons of trees a year just so you can have toilet tissue, paper towels, and paper to write on? It's OK to mercilessly grind and pulverize rocks to make concrete just so we can spit gum...

Answer to:
Who created God, I mean where did he come from? Shalom! Let me answer with another question - Can G-d lift a rock so big that He Himself cannot lift it? G-d is omnipotent. If He can create a rock so big that He cannot lift it then He is not omnipotent. But if He cannot create a rock so big that He cannot lift then He is not omnipotent. It's the dream paradox of anyone trying to disprove the L-rd, but it never works; here is why: ...

Answer to:
Are the three persons in Trinity, three equal parts of God? I think the problem is that people do not understand the essence of the word "one" which is used to describe G-d's "Oneness" in the Torah and Tanakh. In Hebrew there is ECHAD and YECHID. Yechid is "one", but it is a compound unity. In essence everything in the material universe is yechid, or a compound unity, with the notable exception of individual...

If Yahoo Answers waged war upon AB and decided to invade, what position would you take to defend your AB nation? Lo I say to you, children of Zion - The enemy, unholy and accursed his name shall ever be, must be struck against with an unrelenting sword. Our resolve and faith must be concrete and every unholy thing that marches with the beast will be torn from the interwebz, and cast into the eternal lake of fire - and into outer darkness - where there will be much weeping and gnashing of keyboards. ~...

Answer to:
Do you believe something really bad is gonna happen in the year 2012 like some people believe? Shalom! The Mayans were avid stargazers who believed in what we call "The Procession of the Equinoxes". This is close to a 26,000 year cycle in which the Earth travels through the 12 signs of the zodiac for about 2152 years each. Each of the astrological ages represent one month of the "Cosmic Year". Many cultures refer to this 26,000 year cycle and use this idea as the...

What is the difference between a prophet and a psychic? Are they just terms from different religions to describe the same thing?
