ueeuh, this story is about the splitting of the waters. that is described in genesis (old testament => part of bible...) ,I think day 3:

"Then God said, 'Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters and let it separate the waters from the waters.' And God made the expanse and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse and it was so. "

I'm no christian at all but that's pretty much the only good thing in this book: taking care for each other, without looking at the bank account every time.

It really bugs me when non-Christians take it on themselves to paraphrase the Bible. If you're not a believer, the LEAST you could do is find an actual passage to back yourself up, rather than just popping off what you yourself admit is, at best, an uninformed opinion.

Here's a wonderful essay by C.H. Spurgeon on what it means to be "my brother's keeper". The Bible teaches that there is a balance between individual responsibility ("If a man does not work, do not let him eat.") and individual compassion ("love your neighbor as yourself"). It does not teach that the government ought to be the primary carekeeper for those in need. The Bible's view of care is far, far more personal than that.

A gimper, as Seume explained it, was someone who always does a little more than what's required or expected. In the furniture business, for example, gimping is putting the finishing touches on the upholstery, patiently applying the ornamental extras that are a mark of quality and value.

There is also a GIMP community at gimper.net

"Do not judge and criticize and condemn others, so that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourselves. For just as you judge and criticize and condemn others, you will be judged and criticized and condemned, and in accordance with the measure you deal out to others, it will be dealt out again to you. "
Matthew 7:1-2

If the Gays and Lesbians truly are after civil rights and are not simply out to subvert the meaning of a word that millions of Americans hold sacred then why not just pick some other word for their civil unions?

That makes sense, and would probably work better for them, but in this great nation you absolutely do *NOT* have the right to be free from being offended. You have the right to turn the other way, hold up a sign, or do what you're doing right now and write about it. Personally I find large portions of modern christianity extremely offensive and a gross perversion of Christ's teachings, but you don't see me out there trying to keep people's mouths shut about it.

No, I think he understood perfectly. Where did you learn that Christians deserve to go to heaven? That we are entitled to be with God? We're not worthy of receiving any good thing from God, much less moving in with Him.

All people since Adam are born into sin. Justice demands punishment for sin. Our "just due" is to be tormented in hell. But God shows us grace--unmerited favor--to save us from the judgment. This is the heart and soul of the Gospel and a central theme of the Bible. If you missed that point in your studies, you might as well have missed it all, cowboy.

Christians are not waiting to get what they deserve; they are waiting for what they DO NOT deserve! Glory to God! (Wow, it's amazing how that puts a smile across my face! :-D ) The Messiah became our sin on the cross, and His righteousness has been imputed to those who trust in Him. (2 Cor. 5:21) Christ got our just due, and we get His just due, which is to be with the Father in heaven. (Of course, Jesus Christ defeated death and is now with the Father, also.)

P.S. In an earlier comment, you seemed to equate Armageddon with the meek inheriting the earth. The book _God Will Bless You_ by the 19th century English theologian Charles Spurgeon is a wonderful commentary on the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount. I found the third chapter online, which answers for you the questions "Who are the meek?" and "How do the meek inherit the earth?" Hint: It has nothing to do with Armageddon or the Rapture.

I wonder if they block websites that support heliocentricity?

Why? Christianity is heliocentric itself. It's no coincidence that Christmas falls on the same day as Sol Invictus' day and other "pagan" holidays. Try This article out, it's an interesting read.
