questions I did or wanted to ask during catechism as a fifth grader.

1 did God create Adam in the image of modern man, or in a more prehistoric image?
2 how long did Adam walk the earth with God before he was given Eve?
3 how long did Adam and Eve live together before God put them in the garden of eden?
4 how many children did they have before and while they were in the garden of eden?
5 were they born with a created with a complex language, or did it take many years to develop?
6 how long were they in the garden before they were kicked out?
7 if with two perfect beings things got bad enough to warrant the flood, what made Him think He would do better with 6 people born under sin?

now for us raised as catholics.
1 how did the church decide she was a perpetual virgin when the angel told Josehp he could have sex with Mary after Jesus was born?
i'm sure i'm not the only one with these types of questions.

Fortunately, I asked the same questions when I was in school. Let me find my notebook, and I'll post the answers.

Some questions have no answers. "How long is a stick?"

Yes, I remember when I was a young High School Student, why weren't larger dinosaurs on Noah's Ark? We know that they were much too large in size to fit in the Ark. I realized later, that was the answer. Did dinosaurs even exist then? Does it matter? You can only speculate the answers to your questions.

*sigh*
Mary's MOTHER was the virgin, to be "pure" enough to birth Mary.
Mary had been already married, with children. before Jesus and Joseph.
The "modern" bible, and cult, is the result of centuries of bowdlerized translations, and sycophants playing "telephone" with each other. Look up the "Jefferson" and "Genesis" bibles, just a few hundred years ago.

It’s usually the proclaimed atheists that believe in things like global warming and communism. So much that it becomes aa realigned to them.
Now try asking questions about those so called religions.

“It’s usually the proclaimed atheists that believe in global warming”?
This is a joke right? (So the vast majority of climate scientists are atheists?)

Unfortunately, you don't know the first thing about the history and transmission of the bible except what you've picked from the internet. There is no such thing as the "telephone game" idea when translating from extant manuscripts to another language.

That in itself tells me that you are completely ignorant of the process and the history of the text.

You and I both know that you really didn't wonder about these things, you just post this stuff because you hate God and this is a way you express it.

Been there, done that.

Thankfully God changed my heart so that I now love Him and His word instead of thumbing my nose at Him. I pray that He does the same for you before it's too late.

Has anyone really studied the history of the KJV Bible--not what the version says, but the history of the writing of it. It is most interesting.

every one else gave their I don't know or you shouldn't ask answeres, you had to go on the attack.for 65 years I've depended on God to get me through each day. it's only religion that gores my ox.
so many things in the bible are left open ended yet we are asked to base our life on it, other parts just don't make sense.
the bible goes into great detail to establish mary as a virgin at the time of Jesus's birth.
the catholic church has a fixation on mary and has tried to make her more then she was.
I connect with God in my own way it's only the religious that say, if I don't do it their way,i'm wrong.
