    I can visualize a future business-class iMail/eMail app.
    Both iMs and eMs are treated equally and all databased together.
    It would provide immediacy and persistence.

    Lets say you send a colleague an iM it pops up on their desktop but they are on the phone so after 60 seconds the message disappears from the desktop and is sent to the inbox. When your colleague gets of the phone She notices the new message in her inbox and responds to your iM. When you respond to her your computers set up a direct connection and both computers keep a log of the conversation in the inbox.

    I just found this out the hard way last night.

    During the recent promotion with Pepsi, I did the tilt the bottle trick and scored about 6 free songs. My wife is not as into computers as I am and I figured this would be a good way to get her to use iTunes more. So I redeemed all 6 songs and showed her she had 6 credits on the iTunes Music Store to pick out songs she would like. I helped her pick one out and showed her how to buy it. She said she didn't want to use them all at once.

    Flash forward 6 months...Last night my wife says she wants to get this song she heard from the iTunes Music store. Great! No, terrible. When we logged in we discovered that the 5 remaining credits had expired.

    So you are correct. Very few songs ever actually get redeemed on way or an other.

    How do they know he was dead in the first place?

    Jesus was not crucified by some rag tag mob.
    He was scourged(39 lashes across the back) and then crucified and then had His side pierced with a sword by Roman soldiers who were professional executioners.

    Did they have George Clooney come and pronounce him dead at the Cross? Some Roman doctor got a time of death?

    The Bible states in Mark 15:44-45
    44 Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. 45 So when he found out from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

    This centurion would have made sure before telling the govenor he was dead.
    If he was alive, the centurion would have paid for his mistake with his life.

    You stated: "The Roman Church is the first Christian Church."

    According to the Catholic Encyclopedia:
    The combination "the Catholic Church" (he katholike ekklesia) is found for the first time in the letter of St. Ignatius to the Smyrnaeans, written about the year 110. The words run: "Wheresoever the bishop shall appear, there let the people be, even as where Jesus may be, there is the universal [katholike] Church."

    The title pope, once used with far greater latitude (see below, section V), is at present employed solely to denote the Bishop of Rome, who, in virtue of his position as successor of St. Peter, is the chief pastor of the whole Church, the Vicar of Christ upon earth.

    The Bible says that the Christian church was founded in Jerusalem and not in Rome. Furthermore, Peter was not the head of this church James was.

    Jesus was a fanatical Jew and had absolutely NO intention of founding a new religion of any kind
    You are correct. Jesus did not want to start a new "religion" like Catholicism. True Christianity is not a religion

    So he never said he was god, but it's interpreted as that?
    He said it in way that His audience would understand. Jesus didn't speak King James english with a British accent. His audience knew exactly what He meant and wanted to kill Him for saying it.

    If you've ever read the bible, you'll know that there are multiple gods. God says so himself.
    The Bible clearly teaches one God, many gods. Zeus is a god, Allah is a god, and some claim John F. Kennedy was god. There are many beings inside this universe, outside this universe and in the minds of men of varying degrees of power, but there has always been and always will be only one God.

    After all god's children came down and slept with all the women.
    You interpret it that way even though thats not what the passage says.

    God was his father. God is everybody's father.
    Jesus said to the Pharisee's "You are of your father the devil." John 8:44

    Everyone is god, for does not god exist in every aspect of his creation? We are the cells of god.
    Being made by God does not make you a god or equal to God. You existence has a beginning and an end.

    The problem is that everybody lets the church interpret the bible for them,
    Sounds like you went to a church that didn't really teach the Bible or at least teach it properly.

    and only the books that the church chooses to be included in the bible.
    Again the problem is not the Bible but the poor methodologies used in studying and interpreting it.

    The Catholic Encyclopedia states:

    Perpetual Adoration
    A term broadly used to designate the practically uninterrupted adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

    THE PERMANENCE AND ADORABLENESS OF THE EUCHARIST
    ...the Council of Trent (Sess. XIII, can. iv) by a special canon emphasized the fact, that after the Consecration Christ is truly present and, consequently, does not make His Presence dependent upon the act of eating or drinking. On the contrary, He continues His Eucharistic Presence even in the consecrated Hosts and Sacred particles that remain on the altar or in the ciborium after the distribution of Holy Communion.

    Translation: Worshiping a piece of bread that is believed to be Jesus Christ.
    I can assure you that for 2000 years Christians have not worshiped bread as God.
    You sound like a "bad" Catholic who doesn't know what Catholicism teaches nor worships the bread god.

    Jesus said in John 10:30

    There are also many indirect references to His deity:
    Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. -John 5:18

    Judaism and Christianity are both monotheistic(belief in one God). The Jewish leaders understood that when Jesus said he was the "son of God"(incarnation of God), He was claiming to be God.

    You can find many more references here.

    Catholics do not believe in the same Jesus that Christians do just like Muslims do not believe in the same Jesus.

    According to Roman Catholic teaching, the Eucharist is the central component of the Mass and the source and summit of Christianity. It is believed that when a priest consecrates the Communion bread, the wafer is no longer bread, but the actual body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ. Rome teaches that Jesus is literally and bodily present wherever a consecrated Host is found. Therefore, hundreds of thousands of Catholic churches claim that Jesus is present in their eucharistic tabernacle or monstrance.

    What did Jesus mean when He warned of "other christs" and that many would claim that Christ was in the "inner rooms" in the last days (Matthew 24: 23-27)?

    The Roman Catholic Jesus is a piece of bread not the Biblical Jesus that Christians believe in.

  22. Funny story on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I once heard a story about a pastor who asked the members of his board of elders to drink poison to prove they have faith.
    The pastor and all the elders died except one.
    When asked why he didn't drink with the others he said "It is written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Luke 4:12".

    The problem is not a lack of "super powers" but a lack of understanding of the Bible.
    When Christians don't understand what the Bible teaches they are bound to do stupid things "in the name of God".

    Jesus said:
    "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?' Then I will declare to them solemnly, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.' " -Matthew 7:21-23
