"FF, what colour was Jesus?"

Or God for that matter. He made us in His image and the earliest Humans were from Asia, so they must have been yellow/brown/whatever skinned. Yet, every Bible printed, every religious image in the Western world shows him as a white man. Why is that? Do you think it could be some subtle form of manipulation for us Honkys? The whole region of Bethlehem, Jerusalem, etc., is in the Middle East area, and I don't see no white folk about. Could it be that the Bible my old school gave me and forced me to learn from was lying to me?

My personal favourite theory, that explains everything about the man called Jesus, is that he was a time-traveller. Think about it. Some mystical bloke, giving it all "that" with extra sass - I'd be pretty lairy if I'd just time-travelled. Healing the sick with modern and future medicine. And he's white. The first time-traveller (if the End of Days hasn't come like you're cheerily predicting) will probably be some white-bred American bloke, so he'll be well-versed in the Bible. It's a good theory, don't knock it. Expect to see the film. Soon. Starring Mark Wahlberg as Jesus. And William Shatner as God. Probably.

Forest Fan, you can not remain 'blameless' for your actions infront of any leader.

Surely most movies have taught you this:

One example being:
Masters of the Universe (Skelator vapourises Lizard Man when the four fail to ring back He-man and the key.)

Typical... 'tis always the womans fault!;)

Pffftt ... God wanted that to happen.

Let's get this straight:
God makes a tree with forbidden fruit on it (why did he do that?) and tells people not to eat the fruit, but leaves it well within reach (why did he do that?). He also makes the serpant (why did he do that?) which goes and tricks Eve into taking the fruit.

God allowed sin to enter the world by making the serpent, also by making Eve so she'd listen to it.
Why make things that are obviously going to betray you.

God is a hypocrite, blaming his own creations for their misdeeds.

By not taking of the forbidden fruit and not disobeying God.

No, >how< were we supposed to stop sin coming?

That will never happen, however you can have that sin taken away, you can appear sinless, blameless before the Lord. Not that one of us deserves it, but that Jesus is gracious to us and wants you to accept His sacrifice of sin.

Your definition of 'Good News' sucks ass.

And how were we supposed to stop sin entering the world?

We were originally Created to look after God's Creation and multiply the Earth. However we failed in our task, allowed sin into the world and because of that we have death and disease. After the fall of man, the existence of Believers is to tell others the Good News so they can share in the Kingdom of God.

You really are full of it aren't you. Well here's a question for you. How do you justify your existence?

I simply stated that before (in the past) there were no questions for me to answer.
