Did God really part the Red Sea?

Passover Seder Dinner: FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
No! Keep in mind that the actual Bible is written partly in Hebrew and partly in Greek, with a few sections of the Tanakh (Old Testament) in Aramaic, a language related to Hebrew. The original Hebrew text says that God parted the yom suph, which should be translated, "Sea of Reeds". As far back as the Septuagint, the translation of the Tanakh into Greek which was completed around 247 B.C.E., this was erroneously translated "the Red Sea".

Did God call her?

FAQ
Yes, but she did not hear voices or see visions. God called her by making her think for herself. She did not think that she ought to do what her family and all of society expected her to do - to either get married or look after her married relatives. She wanted to have a career, and this was so unusual for a woman that she believed that God had called her to it.

Did God really create it all?

le me first give some props to God. He is a heck of a being. He has done a lot of good...and for that i'm very thankful. But i'm not so sure that He created it all. I'm not convinced that he created, for example, the laws of math. as i have said in other posts, there is no such world where "1+1=3". now, if this is so, (and it appears to be) then God can't change it. also it would seem to mean that God didn't create it. even if God wanted 1+1 to equal four... he couldn't have his way.

If there is no God, where did all this come from?

Jhuger - About
I could tell you what I've read about evolution, the big-bang, super-universes, quantum foam, and all that stuff. Eventually you'd ask a question I can't answer, then I'd have to go look it up. Even If I had the time for that shit, in the end you'd ask a question science hasn't answered yet. So let's save time and skip ahead to "I don't know."

DID YOU REALLY DISCOVER THE SEA CAVES OF PHANG NGA?

F.A.Q., John Gray's Sea Canoe - Frequently Ask Question
If I was Cook, Magellan, Malacca or Cortez, I would surely claim discovery of the caves and hongs of Phang Nga Bay, Halong Bay and other SE Asia locations. There are spots where I was undoubtedly the first human, but one has to ask the question, "What special creativity, will and equipment did I have that allowed me to be here before anybody else?" If there are any real discoveries left in the GPS era, chances are they are in caves.

Did Buckethead really audition for the Red Hot Chili Peppers?

FAQ 2.0
Yes. One journalist’s account reported that the lead singer picked Buckethead up at the airport and found out that Buckethead had not heard any of their tunes. The audition proceeded anyway, and Buckethead played in his inimitable fashion (i.e., robot dance, hyper-metal licks etc...). When he finished the band applauded raucously. Flea confirmed that they auditioned BH saying that he was "sweet and normal," but they wanted someone "...who could also kick a groove."

Did Ben really say that beer is proof of God's love?

none)
There is no evidence to suggest that Ben ever said that beer is proof that God loves us. However, he did have this to say about wine: We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards; there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.

VoyForums: Christian Beliefs Forum for the edification of Bi...
So, I just want to make sure I understand the point being made here. I honestly do not know the answer and that's why I'm asking it. Again, Gene, I am very surprised to see you seeming to make information a priority after having seen you peddling nothing but disinformation over the years. I believe that if we are not now seeing God's wrath we will be soon if we don't get our act together. I hope that he is. I hope that he is out witnessing about the Lord to unbelievers.

How could Jesus really be God?

rejesus - community - question and answer:::.
In a sense the church has never really answered the "how" question, because it never really tried to. The Christian question has always been "What does it mean to talk about Jesus as God?" And the official answer is that he had two "natures": divinity and humanity. He was fully divine and completely human at the same time. for the technicalities of how this works, the church has always considered this (correctly, I'm sure) beyond its competence to answer.

You're probably right. We're just a couple of guys screwing around on the Net. We aren't getting paid for this, nor do we expect to.

Part of the reason we are doing a radio show is because we know there is no way we can compete with the major review sites, so we decided to change the name of the game. Oh yeah, we're rebels.

Did "The Kingdom of God" then come in the first century as well?

Frequently Asked Questions - Preterism.com -- English
Answer: It appears from the scriptures that the chief concern of Jesus was to bring about the Kingdom of God. The two major issues with the Kingdom are of timing and nature, allowing Preterism to offer solid answers to those seeking questions about the Kingdom: It is therefore unreasonable for Christians to expect the Kingdom of God to be anything other than a spiritual reality.

How did God, the spirit part, get there in the first place if there was nothing there to create Him?

Pray 4 Me,Inc. | Bible Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: That’s a good question, and if I could answer that, I’d probably be God. I can’t honestly answer that, but the Bible does have a few words about Him. In Psalms 93:2, we are told, “Thy Throne is established of old; thou art from everlasting to everlasting.” That means God has always been, and that’s difficult for us to understand. Yet God has always existed. Before time ever began, God was there.

When did the "Kingdom of God" begin?

Aggelia Bible Studies FAQ Database - A Bravenet.com Faq
Thank you for your question. I have not considered when the kingdom began, at any length before so here are just a few thoughts. I welcome your reactions. "There are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom." Shortly after Christ spoke these words, He took Peter, James and John with Him up to a mountain. There these three men saw Christ transfigured. They saw Elijah and Moses appear with the glorified Christ.

Did Will Durant believe in God?

Will Durant Online: The Gentle Philosopher
Durant was, by his own definition, an agnostic. His views on God can be best explained in his own words from his Dual Autobiography, written a few years before his death: I am still an agnostic, with pantheistic overtones. The sight of plants and children growing inclines me to define divinity as creative power, and to reverence this in all its manifestations, even when they injure me. I cannot reconcile the existence of consciousness with a deterministic and mechanistic philososphy.

Q3] How did Jones' crew become part sea creatures?

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006): FAQ
This is never explained, but one possibility might be that gradual transformation to a sea creature might be necessary as an adjustment to frequently being submerged in cold seawater. This process must be aided by the supernatural aspects of Jones' ship, since biologically such a genetic transformation is ordinarily impossible.
