"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.

The animals were Created first, then later the Humans were Created and the animals were brought to the Humans, so the Humans could look after the animals.

That's not answering my question.

Why, in one story does God create man and woman at the same time, and in the other man first and woman then from man?

And why were these two stories written so far apart? Theological scholars have dated the two stories, and the first one in Genesis (which was actually written second) was written 500 years after the other.

Care to explain rather than sidestepping the issue?

The animals were Created fist, as Genesis tells us.

If the Bible is fact why does Genesis contain two creation, both at odds with eachother about the order and way in which God "created" the Earth, Mankind and the animals?

What judgement, from the power of yourself, or God who know you better than yourself?

FFF, do you believe you even have a spirit?

Just being realistic.

That, dear child, was sarcasm.
I don't believe in God, Jesus, Heaven, Hell (or any form of afterlife) and you're whole religion means nothing to me.

Why, oh why, do you think I'd believe in the Rapture.
I neither know, nor care what it is.
Because it will never affect me, it is not a part of my beliefs.

They're your beliefs, kindly keep them to yourself.
By the by, do you believe in the Flummox?

Jesus taking His believers.
