    Daniel your article looks excited but some of your elaborations are human centered. Indeed dreams and miracles are true and transcends human understanding and it is beyond those scientific theories, discoveries, and intuition ...

    You can use your canal mind to write whatever you want with regard to God's Word. The fact is, you can never nullify what the Word of God says. From eternity to eternity God is the only God. There hadn't been any god besides ...

  • Bo Ho Bio 11 years ago

    King, ask again. We really have brain dead 'educated' people who read religious books but cannot tell fiction from reality. They are just scared of the word God.

    Dr. Sarfo, If you don't mind, logically explain how Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were unharmed in a fiery furnace yet the guards who put them in sustained burns.

    Dr. Sarfo: If you intended to sway opinion with this piece - you failed.

    Your argument is as weak...as it is lengthy.

    Samuel, it's better you don't make a write up on something you don't understand.

    Samuel, since you read the book of Daniel, didn't you see that it was self explanatory? However please check with Jehovah's Witnesses to give you a book on Daniel's prophecy for a concise explanation. Or go to www.jw.org for ...

    Excellent piece.kudos. Avoid your personal viewpoint not bcked by facts next time and don't attack any church.

  • Kk 11 years ago

    Church fathers including Josephus rejected the apocryphal books. These book were not canonised and therefore cannot b accepted as scripture.
