I would say that everybody is a wolf/sheep hybrid.
Everybody is on the same team.
No, the context is what Jesus taught. He said there was a difference between sheep, wolves, and goats. They are metaphors for believers, false teachers/believers, and unbelievers.

How do I know you're not one of the wolves (i.e. false teachers)? I'm sure most false teachers think they are teaching the truth. They are sincere and zealous in their false interpretation of the Bible.
Judge a tree by its fruits.
Everybody is on the same team (IMO). We are all sheep at heart (even the wolves).

God prophesied the end from the beginning. An agenda? I don't think that's the proper word to use.

He didn't destroy anything, not yet at least. The only thing that was ever taken "out" of existence was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, if I'm not mistaken. Though if you are referring to the flood; God doesn't do things half ways. All the time people say "if God is willing to stop evil, why doesn't He?" - well, He caused a massive flood that took out the wickedness of man so that we could have a second chance. Did it work? No, because evil still exists.
Why didn't it work? Because we have free will. God isn't going to take away our free will, and Satan himself has free will - to do whatever he wills on mankind. If God didn't allow that, what would be the point? How would we grow? A seed needs to die first before it can grow and produce many grains.
Also, I dunno if you really "read" it because you say I'm "arguing", which.. I'm not really doing. I'm just putting out some information.

Year 0 wasn't actually a year. It goes from 1 B.C. to 1 A.D. So, add a year.edit on 4-4-2012 by Lionhearte because: (no reason given)

It says here in the bible, and this is 100% proof the bible is true....lolololololololololololol

If god used a flood to take out the wickedness of man, he also took out millions of innocent, men women and children who did nothing to deserve it ( jsut to rid us of a few bad eggs).
That in my opinion makes God a visious mass murderer who should be put on trial for crimes against humanity..!!
When the bible has been peer reviewed and accepted by mainstreme science, I will believe.

You have documented proof that there were millions of innocent people who did nothing to "deserve" it? a FEW bad eggs? If there was but ONE good man, God would have saved them.. and He did, his name was Noah - and his family was saved, his wife, his sons, and his sons' wives.
These people were given a HUNDRED years to repent, yet they did not. Not a single one. They laughed, and scoffed, and they perished.
I'm sure you want to make the same claim about Sodom and Gomorrah? You do know that story, don't you?

If a man coming back from death after 3 days in the tomb doesn't convince you no amount of peer-reveiwed information will sway your vote.

Ahh but again, where is the proof that this actually happened?
Oh, sorry my bad, the proof is in the book its self, I keep forgetting that the book is the proof and no ther proof be needed....lol
I already know your answer to this , but the same deal applies to your bible.

You know that Me, and Lionhearte, and NuT, and Lonewolf are all on the same page, because everything we preach on here correlates perfectly. None of us true Christians contradict eachother. We may argue over fine points of Theology, but our "meat and potatoes" remain the same.
That is how you can tell real from fake.
There is no convincing you, and I aim not to convince you.
My mission on these forums is to defend the integrity of my faith, and help strengthen fellow brothers in Christ.
I could careless about atheists, new age believers, muslims, etc etc on this forum, aside from proving them wrong and arguing with them.
Can you imagine Jesus saying that? I hope you see the point I am trying to make and don't take this as an attack on you.

Yes it is about prophecy, however how can the prophecies be real if the book its self is not the "proven", word of god.
What I am saying is that the bible its self and the verses within, cannot be prove that the bible is real. Therefore, the prophecies must also be false.
To prove something, the proof must come from an external source, with credible physical evidence to back it up.

It would be better if we used our energy and resources for Galactic conquest rather than killing each other in the name of religion or god, which don't exist. You people will always come up with some answer. Like if I ask "Who made god?" and soon there'll be an answer.
