Read the Questionable Questions again. When you do, please read every word and every letter in every word. The following are the questions (in quotes) and my answers (not in quotes). "Who do we know the bible is realy God's?" - First, 'WHO do we know the bible is realy God's' doesn't make any sense. What would make more sense would be to begin the question with: HOW do we know...? Second, 'Who do we know the bible is really God's" WHAT? Ending this question with the word 'God's' makes it an incomplete question -- one that doesn't make any sense. "? ? ?" - These are question marks without words. They are punctuation without anything preceding them. Thus, this is not a question. If it were a question, what would be the answer? "Russellville?" - Russellville WHAT? What about Russellville? "Does God have free will?" - This is not a stupid question? If God does not have free will, then He is not sovereign. If He is not sovereign, then he is not God. Who ever heard of God not having free will? "Was Abraham a Muslim?" - "Muhammad (prophet) (570?-632), founder of Islam" Muhammad lived from approx. 570 AD to 632 AD, approximately 2,400 years after Abraham. Abraham lived from 2100 BC to 1880 BC. So how could Abraham be a Muslim when Islam wasn't even founded until more than 2,000 years after he lived? This is not rocket science. I know 9-year-olds who could figure this one out. "Why does everything happen in thirds?" - As it is worded, this question doesn't make any sense. If it said, "Why does everything happen in threes," it would make more sense. But it still would be a question that is not addressed in the Bible. Where does the Bible teach that EVERYTHING happens in threes? But the question doesn't even say "in threes", does it? "If 'computer' stands for 666 than isn't wrong for us to use the computer?" (Note: This question was posted using a PC -- Personal COMPUTER.) - This is a big "If." Who says 'computer' stands for 666? Where is that in the Bible? In Revelation there is no indication that 666 is a machine or anything else other than a living being. "In the bible, where are Japanese?" - Not every race and nation of people that inhabit the world is mentioned by name in the Bible. There is no mention of the word 'Japanese' in either Bible history or prophecy. "Blue marbles roll faster than red ones(?)" - No comment necessary. "Are death and Hades destroyed or are they tormented forever?" How do you torment death? How do you torment Hades? "What if?" - What if WHAT? This is an even bigger IF than the one in the question about 666 and the computer. This is another incomplete question. And even if it were completed, the answer would be pure speculation. We could ask 'What if this?' and 'What if that' from now until the end of the age. "Where does the Bible say that the earth revolves?" - If you had read this question in the context in which it was asked, you would know what's wrong with it. The Bible is not a science textbook. "How do you know the earth spins on its axis?" - If you had read this question in the context in which it was asked, you would know what's wrong with it. "Why do we grow old?" - Because we keep breathing? "The Bible says that what is put to death is dead both in heaven and earth,so how did Jesus raise himself from the dead?" - Nowhere does the Bible say 'what is put to death is dead both in heaven and earth'. To base a question on a false premise (that the Bible says this) is to ask a "Questionable Question." --Radioman2 |

Radioman2, sorry ‘bout this, dear friend in Christ Jesus our Lord, but you are wrong in your conclusion, "Muhammad (prophet) (570?-632), founder of Islam" Muhammad lived from approx. 570 AD to 632 AD, approximately 2,400 years after Abraham. Abraham lived from 2100 BC to 1880 BC. So how could Abraham be a Muslim when Islam wasn't even founded until more than 2,000 years after he lived? This is not rocket science. I know 9-year-olds who could figure this one out,” If you WERE to talk to any Muslim, that Muslim would quickly inform you that Adam and Eve, Noah, Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jesus etc. WERE all Muslim. They understand the concept that "Being a Muslim" merely means “one who is submitted to God". So, if any would ask me if Abraham was a Muslim, I would reply, “I honestly believe that Abraham WAS SUBMITTED to God.” For sure we know that Abraham WASN’T a Christian, correct? As a matter of fact, anyone who works in the “Muslim world”, be it here in the States, or abroad, would hardly ever “confess to being a Christian”. A follower of the teachings of Isa, (Jesus), might, for instance, hold up the Scriptures and merely state, “I obey what this says, as the Koran instructs everyone should. Do you obey it too?” “Christians” are who slaughtered Muslims during the crusades. America is a “Christian nation” and their soap operas are about American families, so that means that “Christian families” mess around, drink, lie, cheat, etc. etc. Besides, non-believers first used the term “Christian” to separate themselves from believers. Because Christian means “small Christ” – and one can’t be one without being submitted to God (Muslim), and both conger up “false conceptions”, why use either label? Why not merely live our lives so others can see and believe? I appreciate reading through some of the threads in which you have made some profound, spirit inspired comments. Thank you. TommyS Speaking of "dumb questions" - I once asked an wrinkled old man sitting on his rocker on a porch in front of a small town cafe, "Have you lived in this town all your life?" He removed his pipe from his toothless mouth and replied, "Not yet." |

TommyS: My sincere thanks for providing that additional information on how the word Muslim is used. Probably I should have written "how could Abraham be a follower of Islam when its founder, Muhammed, didn't appear on the scene until more than 2,000 years after he lived?" Grace to you, Radioman2 |
