I didn't say that.
God made a covenant specifically with the Jews. I don't believe Him to be an Indian Giver.
Great Post DR.
Go ahead and ask...
I'm simply stating MH can't claim for certain that Egyptians pre-dated Adam and Eve by any amount of time. What reference point is he using? He can't have it both ways. As in:
Claim that they were made up.
And then proceed to say that A or B civilization pre-dated them by x-many years.
Let me give it a shot:
$ $ $ $
sigh.
I'll ask you again, for I think the third time.....
a simple yes or no answer would be really nice....
Is or isn't belief in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and announcing Him as Lord and Savior a necessary component of salvation?
It matters. A lot. It's time to put down the fairy tales and move on as a scientific community.
You KNOW the history. Roman Catholic church burned and destroyed all sorts of human history. People were murdered, mass scale, for this ridiculous belief system.
We still suffer from the problem. Look at Hamas and Israel. All over that land promised by God to 2 different peoples. Each thinks THEY are the chosen ones.
Look at all of the people who get brainwashed into becoming terrorists and crash into buildings because the afterlife has 72 virgins waiting for them.
Look at stem cell research and how this country hasn't been able to get into it because of a god. Look at abortion debates.
It's a real problem. We need to get over it already. People need to learn how to be GOOD BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND not because God says so or you go to .
You give the religion* money and you become happy, or some .
That is an ironic choice of words. Good one.
Sounds like a promise to many, not a condemnation to the rest.For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life - John 3:16
This has been asked before but I'll ask again. What of the child that was raised in the wilderness by a pack of wolves?
My mathematical bar is low because there was no need for it to be higher. Simple addition, subtraction, division and mulitiplication can be used to map out significant dates and moments in the mans life. Had the math been complicated I might have dug deeper. It just wasn't.
WAIT: God made it simple...YES?
Actually they exercise the ghosts of a long dead alien race that cling to your soul and cause you to be unhappy and other problems.
No, I am not making that s*** up.
Actually, "Star Wars" is real. Sure, it was 'written' in the 20th century by George Lucas BUT! it was a real account. "A long time ago...in a galaxy far far away.."
It was real. It doesn't matter that recorded history says it was written in the 20th century.
How do you know that it wasn't ancient?
Sounds like a tax haven for a certain science fiction writer.
What I *don't* know about Scientology is what they believe happens to you after you die, or if you are a non-believer.
In 2000 years will people be having conversations about the historicity of Ron Hubbard?
I wonder.
Let's take a look at claims made by those who deny the facts :
Click on words for link.
Claim #1 - Isis was not a virgin
First, we have to understand how the ancient egyptians lived. They worshipped over 2,000 Gods. They had different versions/accounts/stories for the same Gods in different areas around Egypt. They did not have -1- canonical religion like you are familiar with. When you read an account of Horus' birth, just remember you are reading one account. There are several different stories.
ALL of the Horus birth stories involve a miraculous birth.
1) In one account, Isis is impregnated by "a flash of lightning" and in another account "begotten by a ray of light from heaven". She gives birth to Horus/Apis. Apis is an Egyptian Bull God that is another form of Osiris, they are associated as one and the same. He is most famous for being worshipped by the Israelites as a "Golden Calf" after they leave Egypt and while Moses is on Mt. Sinai.
So. Isis gives birth to Apis (Osiris/Horus) "begotten by a ray of light from heaven". Virgin birth.
There are more accounts, however, but they all involve some sort of miraculous birth. The one I have given however, is a virgin birth.
There is even many accounts of Virgin Queens and Mothers, such as Mut-Em-Usa, the VIRGIN QUEEN OF EGYPT.
You have heard of the QUEEN OF SHEEBA. She was famous for her chas y aka VIRGINITY. She ruled Ethiopia, which would be part of Egypt, around 960 BC.
Virgin women of importance is nothing new to the Egyptians.
Claim #2 - Isis-Meri does not exist so it didn't influence "Mary"
Isis is one of the original Mother Goddess. She too, had many forms. She was worshipped for THOUSANDS of years and was only surpassed by the Virgin Mary.
Isis is not her ONLY name obviously, since the egyptians worshipped many forms of Isis, the Mother Goddess.
'Goddess of Many Names' / 'Queen of the Gods'
She is also known as Aset, Ast, Est, Meri-En-Sakar, and many others.
One of Isis' forms was the Goddess of Nature and Harvest - MERI-EN-SAKAR. They are all forms of ISIS, the Mother.
Isis ultimately absorbed and represented hundreds of different goddesses, all forms of the Mother, ISIS. Her worship survived until around the 6th century CE.
Claim #3 - The 'Mother of God' Mary in Christianity did not copy/borrow/steal from Isis the Mother of God
To quote from this source :
"When Christianity was spreading across the Empire, it's clear that it deliberately took images from the pagan world in which it lived and into which it spread and used those images. Old holy wells and shrines were turned into Christian shrines. In Egypt a shrine of Isis was deliberately and self-consciously re-created as a shrine of Mary."
The connections are so similar, sometimes scholars can't even tell if they are looking at Mary or Isis.
Claim #4 - December 25 was not celebrated by Ancient Egyptians as the birth of Horus/Osiris
This is an Ancient Egyptian Calendar
"Birth of Heru (Horus) the child of Aset (Isis) ; Going forth of Wadjet singing in Heliopolis;Day of Elevating the Great Netjert (Goddess) in all Her names & manifestations"
Jesus' birth day is NEVER mentioned in the Bible, however it too is celebrated on Dec. 25th once again, to coincide with this ancient worship of the Sun. The date was chosen to occur on the same date as the birth of Horus, Mithra, Dionysus and the Sol Invictus (unconquerable Sun), etc.
Claim #5 - Horus' birth is not heralded by a Star in the East as Jesus was
The Star in the East is known as Sirius. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky, almost twice as bright as the next brightest star. Sirius was an important star for the ancient egyptians. They based their calendar around Siirus. They called it "the going up of the goddess Sothis". Sothis/Sirius has always been identified with Isis.
Ok. So, the Star in The East/Isis heralds the birth of the Sun/Son of God Horus.
Claim #6 - Isis/Horus/Osiris are not the original "holy trinity"
Isis is the Mother of God, the Great Mother Goddess.
Horus is the Son of Osiris/ Son of God
Osiris is the Father, "Judge of the Dead in the Afterlife"
Yeah. Apparently, Osiris was judging the dead well before Jehovah.
They are the original Holy Trinity.
Osiris' worship was still widespread until around 388 CE, when Theodosius (the last roman emperor) declared Nicene Christianity the official state religion and began punishing all other religious practices.
OOps. guess Extra Stout's ass is 'kicked up and down this thread'
I'm sorry for anyway in which I was unclear.
Yes, you must.
Romans 10:8-10
But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
??????
The vast majority of Scientific advances throughout history have come from Believers.
I promise you I will go to bed with one tonight who is doing a of a lot more to advance science (one of the authors of this - yes that is NATURE!) than your forum inhabiting self.
Except for the fact that he is dead. Unless you are a Scientologist, then they just think he is hiding or something, but for the rest of us, we know where he is buried.
This is beyond me. It just goes to show you how easy it is to create a religion. these thumpers on here scream about how its impossible to create a myth in such a short period of time.
Look no further. It has quite a following.
Tom Cruise 2,000 years from now :
Listen, scientology is the one true religion. It says so right here in our sacred text.
PROVE. ME. WRONG.

Early life
Richard Simmons was born in New Orleans, Louisiana.[1] Simmons was raised in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana, and attended Cor Jesu High School (now Brother Martin High School[1]). He suffered from obesity throughout his adolescence and by the time he graduated from high school, he weighed 268 pounds.
His first job, in New Orleans, was selling pralines. Simmons also briefly considered becoming a priest.[2] After starting college at the University of Southwestern Louisiana, he transferred to Florida State University. While enrolled there, he studied as an exchange student in Florence, Italy. He graduated with a BA in Art. After graduation, Simmons moved to New York City where he worked in advertising, as a waiter, and for cosmetics companies Revlon and Coty Cosmetics.
Fitness career
Upon moving to Los Angeles in the 1970s, Simmons worked as the Maître d' at a restaurant in Beverly Hills. He developed an interest in fitness, but was dissatisfied with the unhealthy fad diet methods[clarification needed] and established gyms and exercise studios of the day which favored the already fit customer. It was his interest in fitness that helped him lose 123 lb (56 kg).
Simmons later opened his own exercise studio, originally called The Anatomy Asylum, where emphasis was placed on healthy eating in proper portions and enjoyable exercise. The business originally included a salad bar restaurant called "Ruf e," (the name a pun on the word Roughage), though it was eventually removed as the focus of the Asylum shifted solely to exercise[citation needed]. Now called Slimmons, the establishment continues operations in Beverly Hills, and Simmons teaches motivational classes and aerobics throughout the week[citation needed].
Media appearances
With his health club a success, Simmons began to draw media attention, beginning with an appearance on the television show Real People where he was shown at work. He introduced customers whom he had helped to lose weight. He later made guest appearances on the celebrity game shows Win, Lose or Draw and Nickelodeon's Figure It Out.
Positive viewer reaction landed Simmons a recurring role as himself on the American soap opera General Hospital [3], over a four-year period.[4] This in turn led to further media notoriety, as well as personal appearances in shopping malls, where he taught exercise classes. In the early 1980s, Simmons hosted two shows; Slim Cookin, and an Emmy Award winning talk show, The Richard Simmons Show, in which he focused on personal health, fitness, exercise, and healthy cooking.
Simmons has appeared as himself on numerous TV shows, including Whose Line Is It Anyway?, CHiPs, Saturday Night Live, and on an episode of Arrested Development, "Bringing Up Buster". In 1999, he hosted a short lived TV show called DreamMaker. Eight years later he filmed a pledge drive special for PBS, called Love Yourself And Win,.
Simmons has been featured in TV advertisements for Sprint, Yoplait, Herbal Essence Shampoos, and toward the end of 2007, he appeared in a "This is SportsCenter" commercial on ESPN as the show's "conditioning coach." In Canada, Simmons appeared in an advertisement for Simmons' mattresses. The mattress company hired the exercise celebrity because of the similarity in name, and for his appeal to the company's target audience of women over 35[citation needed]. Beyond this, there is no further business partnership between the two.
Richard Simmons currently hosts a radio show on Sirius Stars, Sirius Satellite Radio channel 102, called Lighten Up with Richard Simmons.
Fitness work in recent years
Simmons has begun a campaign to get physical education incorporated into the No Child Left Behind Act[citation needed]. He met with U.S. Representative George Miller, the chairman of the House education committee, in the hope of winning support for a plan to have elementary schools provide 150 minutes of PE each week. In November 16, 2006, Simmons appeared on the Today Show to announce his "Ask America" crusade to get PE incorporated in public schools as a required course. Simmons asked viewers complete surveys, which he would use to pe ion policy makers in Washington DC[citation needed].
Fitness plans and marketing
Marketing fitness plans has also brought notoriety to Simmons' message of healthy living. Live It, his first marketed weight loss plan was explained in his first book Never Say Diet. He has since written several more books and produced weight loss plans including the Deal A Meal and FoodMover plans, both of which were advertised in infomercial campaigns. On Carnival Cruise Lines, he hosts the Cruise to Lose program.
A fitness training program was developed to teach The Simmons Method to fitness instructors. Training is provided at Hoot Camp, which is held in Beverly Hills, and is approved by the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA). The program allows AFAA-certified instructors to earn continuing education[clarification needed]. Hoot Camp has also been held in Saint Joseph, Missouri. Simmons also travels the United States teaching his program, and he has been known to spend time on the phone with students of his programs[citation needed].
In 2006, Simmons collaborated with Salton to produce a food steamer called "Steam Heat".
Personal life
Personality
Simmons is notable for his high-energy, motivational demeanor, an attribute he often uses to help encourage people to lose weight. His trademark attire is candy-striped Dolfin shorts and tank tops decorated with Swarovski crystals. Simmons is also known for his flamboyancy.
Simmons has always been known for his "personal touch," interacting at a personal level with the people using his products. This began when he started personally answering fan mail he received while a cast member of General Hospital. As a self-described devout Catholic, Simmons still personally answers emails and letters, and makes hundreds of phone calls each week to those who seek his help. [5] He also talks to people on the air during his radio show, and holds weekly live chats in the "clubhouse" area of his website. His appearances also include a "meet and greet" time, so that people can speak to him one on one.
Simmons claims to have few friends saying, "I don't have a lot to offer one person. I have a lot to offer to a lot of people." Aside from his three Dalmatians and two maids, Simmons lives alone in the Hollywood Hills. [6]
Hurricane Katrina response
In September 2005 Simmons appeared on Entertainment Tonight to discuss the effects of Hurricane Katrina on his family in his hometown of New Orleans and his involvement in aiding those affected by the hurricane. On August 29, 2006 Simmons appeared on Your World with Neil Cavuto while making a return visit to New Orleans one year after the flooding, a visit he repeated on March 2, 2007, now talking about his recent trip to Washington D.C. to promote and raise awareness about The Strengthening Physical Education Act of 2007 (bill HR 1224).
Popular culture
Simmons has become well known throughout North American culture, to the point that he has been referenced in many culture-based shows, be they animation, live-action or talk shows:
A deleted scene in The Simpsons' episode "Burns' Heir" featured a robotic Richard Simmons used by Montgomery Burns as security. Simmons was planned to voice the character, but refused to portray a robotic version of himself, so Dan Castellaneta took the role instead. The scene was cut when it did not get a response from test audiences. The scene was instead shown in the later episode "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular."
In Family Guy episode "Death Is a ", a drunken Peter Griffin proves his immortality by taunting scary looking bikers with the questions "Hey, aren't you Richard Simmons?" and "Aren't you Richard Simmons' best friend, Richard Simmons?".
Simmons was a frequent guest on The Howard Stern Show in the 1990s. He refused to appear after Stern insulted him one too many times. Simmons finally reappeared on Stern's show on November 16, 2006.[7]
Simmons was also a frequent guest on Late Night with David Letterman (NBC) and The Late Show with David Letterman (CBS).[8] On November 22, 2000, they had a falling out after an incident that occurred on that night's show. Simmons (while dressed as a turkey) was sprayed in the face by Letterman with a fire extinguisher after Simmons grabbed Letterman as if to hug or kiss him, causing Simmons to have a severe asthma attack.[9] Simmons did not appear on the Letterman show for six years, finally returning on November 29, 2006. During that appearance, Letterman once again set Simmons up for a prank. While Richard Simmons was demonstrating a steamer branded with his name, Letterman insisted on placing a tray under the steamer which Simmons did not believe belonged there. When Simmons turned the steamer on, something in the tray exploded and started burning. Though initially scared, Simmons took the incident in fairly good nature, even joking that he "felt like Michael Jackson" (referring to a mishap where Jackson's hair was set on fire by a malfunctioning light.)[10]
An animated version of Simmons appeared in a Johnny Bravo episode as a man who used to bully Johnny when they were kids.[11]
In an episode of Rocko's Modern Life Rocko and Heffer went to a gym where a workout assistant resembled Richard Simmons. In fact, Richard Simmons voiced this character, evident in the credits. And that character returned in a TV commercial in the show in a commercial that said, "Sweatin in your undies." This second appearance did not feature a voice with the character.
In the episode Waking Nightmare of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, a Richard Simmons is sent to wake up Mandy.
In Legally Blonde: the Musical, the character of Elle Woods has a line referring to Simmons, saying "I'm not exactly trailer trash here, Richard Simmons is our neighbor!"
He is shot to death in the short Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown.
Simmons (or an impersonator, it is unclear which) appears on the Bob Rivers album More Twisted Christmas on two songs: "It's the Most Fattening Time of the Year" and on the "Buttcracker Suite."
Simmons has been a guest on the US version of Whose Line is it Anyway?. He has also been impersonated on the show. One notable impersonation was during a game of Weird Newscasters, when Wayne Brady was to do the sports news in the style of Simmons.
Simmons has appeared multiple times on The Glenn Beck Program on CNN Headline News.
An episode of the anime Hoshi no Kirby features an exercise instructor Demon Beast that resembles Richard Simmons.

, even if you see something with your own eyes, you can't claim anything for 100% certain.
He's referring to works that suggest that the stories written about Jesus supernatural works are stories and ideas that have already circulated beforehand in other writings from other cultures.
I've seen some pretty good rebuttal posts by I Love Me Some Me in regards to some of the Egyptian stuff that MH has posted, but at the end of the day, nobody has proven anything one way or the other.
It's the ol' "prove Jesus exists" line followed by the "oh yeah? well prove he doesn't" arguments that have been blown up to full scale round and round page after page.
Nobody has anything but faith based on some old writings that have been picked through and sorted out by men, some of who had financial agendas. End of story.
Well done. I don't want religion in the public school system. That is for private schools. I don't push my religion on anyone but as you stated I will defend it when pushed. I've had more than my share of attacks on Catholicism and I just shrug it off and go on because it never effects my personal faith at all. If you choose not to believe and think it is all imaginary and fake then so be it. Move on!!!!
she's one of the 'very few' scientists who believe in god. so your whole family is nuts, i get it.
Sagely sooth, DR.
Kierkegaard addresses this.( See "Fork", about 80% down; see also the cartoon at the bottom) It's a volitional leap in the dark, from the hard ground of absurdity. It's not for everyone, to be sure.
If not, change the ing channel.
